Sometimes I like picking up a game that splits the room when it comes to public opinion of it. Just watching the back and forth among those who've played it, half saying it's great, the other half saying it's terrible, just winds up peaking my interest to the point where I simply have to try it for myself. The Last Remnant is one such game. I'd originally picked it up for next to nothing at a Steam sale a few years ago, but it was only recently that I finally got off my duff and made a concerted effort to play it from beginning to end.
On the whole, I liked the game quite a bit, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was amazing. The Last Remnant certainly has its flaws. However, I didn't find them to be enough to ruin the experience. I can see why some people never warmed up to the game, though, because it's an RPG where you have to love the battle system in order to enjoy the game. If it's not your cup of tea despite playing the game for several hours, it's probably time to bail and look for something else.
