I have to say out of all the games in my collection, I have to say that the Atelier PS3 games has been the one that surprised me the most. I mean, I've bought games without any expectations and come to loved them, and also bought games where I was pretty hyped and was let down, but I have to say that the Atelier games are really the only games where I thought it was going to be mediocre or boring but came out totally loving them. They're just such unique games to me, I love their flexible and robust synthesizing systems, I love the time management systems and how engaging they are to me, I love the small scope and slice of life stories that the game presents, I find the characters likeable in each game, I also really like how open-endless the games can be which is pretty surprising, I even like the turned based combat systems in them. ... Ok, I only really like the turn based combat systems from Meruru and onward. but case in point, The atelier games are just such a breath of fresh air to me whenever I played them as well as really addicting even though it does seem like KOEL are releasing them each year. But to the games credit, they do change enough aspects to the game to keep the game fresh and Atelier Escha & Logy is no exception.
