Granblue Fantasy: Relink

While Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s features impressive combat, visuals, and music, the narrative and endgame loop are a letdown. Fans of action RPGs or the series will likely cherish its depth and co-op, but repetitive side content and a lukewarm story might deter others seeking a truly groundbreaking experience.

8/10

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a fantastic anime adventure, and one that will delight fans of the series.

Hirun Cryer (Eurogamer)

3/5

A truly excellent combat system and neat character-centric episodes complement a compelling tale, but weak side activities and some turgid grinding hold it back.

Chris White (God is a Geek)

9/10

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is not only a gorgeous game, the combat is satisfying with plenty of experimentation when it comes to your party.

But Why Tho?	Abdul Saad	7 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink offers a captivating albeit simple narrative, mesmerizing visuals, and a fun gameplay experience. If you’re a JRPG fan looking for a great new experience, then you’ll do no wrong with the game, but don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.	Read review

Digital Trends	Giovanni Colantonio	4 / 5 stars	01-31-2024	Whether you love the high-octane spectacle of Final Fantasy XVI or the character collection of Genshin Impact, Granblue Fantasy: Relink has a little something for you. It’s a smart blend of ideas, even if it’s a bit torn between console and mobile gaming philosophies. More importantly, though, it does all that without sacrificing the playful energy the RPG genre was built on.	Read review
Eurogamer	Hirun Cryer	Not Recommended	01-31-2024	A truly excellent combat system and neat character-centric episodes complement a compelling tale, but weak side activities and some turgid grinding hold it back.	Read review
GamingTrend	David Flynn	85 / 100	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is yet another bold leap for the franchise and it lands gracefully. The combat is a ton of fun with a massive and unique roster of characters. The game could have introduced characters much better and given them more quiet moments, but the story is nice to watch play out, and it all leads into a massive post-game that will keep you playing for a long time.

Hey Poor Player	Shane Boyle	5 / 5 stars	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a triumph and one of the most mechanically deep and rewarding action-RPGs in recent memory. It’s easy to pick up, yet difficult to master combat feels great in motion, and it’s all in service of a world and cast of characters that are more than worthy of your time and attention. Between the substantial single-player portion and the incredibly generous multiplayer offering, there’s a wealth of content on offer for those wanting to really invest and dig into the game’s many progression systems. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what the result would be if Tails of Arise and Monster Hunter had a baby, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is the answer, and it’s glorious.	Read review
IGN Italy	Alessandro Digioia	7.5 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a much less ambitious game than it seems, but its simplicity shouldn’t necessarily be considered as a flaw. Cygames’ latest work is fun and well polished, and it has an exciting combat system, great art and music. Unfortunately, the story falls short, and after reaching the endgame it devolves in a repetitive cycle of 80 or so hours of mindless fighting, without any real challenge or new ideas to keep things fresh.	Read review
IGN Spain	Alejandro Morillas	9 / 10	01-31-2024	Excellent on a technical level, courageous in its approach and exemplary in terms of gameplay, Granblue Fantasy: Relink becomes a fantastic benchmark of the genre on its own merits.	Read review
MonsterVine	Luis Joshua Gutierrez	3.5 / 5 stars	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink does stumble when it comes to being newcomer-friendly, but it does make up for it as the story goes on. Although the combat can feel repetitive, the power moves and boss fights offer enough to spice things up.	Read review
Prima Games	Priscilla Wells	8 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is undoubtedly a love letter to the series.	Read review

Push Square	Robert Ramsey	8 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is one of the PS5’s best action RPGs	Read review
Siliconera	Kazuma Hashimoto	7 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy Relink is a game that wears its heart on its sleeve with its sincere narrative and engrossing combat.	Read review
SpazioGames	Silvio Mazzitelli	8 / 10	01-31-2024	Thanks to the depth of its battle system (the boss fights are pretty spectacular!) and you can build your characters, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a pleasant surprise for action RPG lovers.	Read review
TechRaptor	Austin Suther	9.5 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an exceptional game that captures the essence of the series wonderfully. With tons of characters to play and a hearty endgame to dive into, Granblue Fantasy: Relink will have you coming back for more.	Read review
The Outerhaven Productions	Scott Adams	4.5 / 5 stars	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a masterpiece and is an amazing entry point into the world of Granblue Fantasy. The gameplay is engaging, the art design is immaculate, the music is amazing, and there is much to do in the game. I just wished the online component had more going on.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dominic Leighton	8 / 10	01-31-2024	Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a fantastic anime adventure, and one that will delight fans of the series.	Read review
VideoGamer	Jack Webb	6 / 10	01-31-2024	Despite the myriad troubles, Granblue Fantasy: Relink has turned out to be rather excellent. But with several lackluster aspects, there is a real sense of disappointment that Relink could have been so much better.	Read review
Worth Playing	Chris “Atom” DeAngelus	8.5 / 10	01-31-2024	Overall, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an enjoyable action-RPG, even when divorced from its gatcha origins. It doesn’t break any molds and tends to feel more like an MMO than Monster Hunter, but almost every part of it is well executed and enjoyable. If you’ve been curious about the franchise and want a more friendly way to explore it than gatcha and fighting games, Relink gives you everything you need. If you’re looking for a chill multiplayer RPG to play with friends, Relink absolutely nails the experience.	Read review
