The mythos surrounding The Legend of Dragoon is nearly as interesting as the game. This Playstation RPG boasts a unique battle system, incredible transformations for any Dragon Ball Z Fan, unique and diverse locations, and a plethora of quality of life features that are completely absent. Is Legend of Dragoon the King of the Retro RPGs from that lofty golden era? That question is a bit more nuanced, so come join me as I take a journey with Dart and his crew to see what makes this game a cult classic or a mere game that will keep collecting dust on your shelf or digital cloud. This is my Legend of Dragoon review, revive, experience...Welcome to Retro Revive here at Bits of Time.

Season 4 Game 12. The final episode of this season and what a doozy of one to end on. This is not a conventional end of the season game, but this was Larry's number one game of 2023 and we think it's a fitting end to our season journey. How much does gameplay effect an enjoyment of a game? The initial introduction to a game and the cadence of its mysteries being revealed is paramount to a visual novel experience, and this one is helped by a sprinkling of gameplay elements that are cohesive to the story itself. So much to talk about and so much to explore in Chaos;Child.
