One of the best recent RPGs in at least the last 10 years. Unfortunately, the original on steam had a midi soundtrack instead of a full symphonic one, and they added some other content to the game. If you have the original, the orchestrated soundtrack can be modded in.

This game originally released on Steam in 2018, and it helped to get me out of the turn based slump i'd been in for some time, as this game takes it back to it's roots, with a classic fantasy setting and a fun, simple combat system. The soundtrack is one of the best, and it's definitely got some tearjerking moments. The best moments in this game don't come from the main story, but rather the world, the side quests, and the character origin stories are great too. They're really good at inserting a side character for a few hours, and making you feel like they've been there the whole game, you get invested.

People have complained about some of the voice acting, but I actually really liked it. Overall, this is a must play, I don't understand why Square won't put DQ8 on steam or really any of the other games like they have with Final Fantasy. Definitely pick this game up to show support for the series on this platform.
