Golden Sun's Total Eclipse - Dark Dawn | KBash Game Reviews

Apotheosis, absolution.

Golden Sun is a series near and dear to my heart. I've often heard that you shouldn't ironically like things, or shouldn't say you like "bad things" because if you like something you think is bad, it's actually good. It's rather that a lot of nostalgia and pathos are wrapped up in how I think about the series and the universe. I think it's flawed to the core, but I love what it could be. Now I'm just finishing what I started.

Early in my "career" I reviewed the Golden Sun games, and did the whole angry gamer, scathing criticism, good thing actually bad thing bit, and the focus was on the writing. If anything that's the one hill I'll die on - the writing in these games is abysmal, just disgusting, but that doesn't mean the aesthetic components or other parts are low quality. I just have a problem with everything but the music and visuals, nbd.

Anyway, from the original, to the Lost Age, to the cliffhanger that is Dark Dawn, let's put this thing to bed.
