PlayStation UniverseTimothy NunesFeb 20228.5/10Rise of The Third Power brings a lot to the table, streamlining the old charm by adding modern nuances to make something quite special.

Pure NintendoKirk HinerFeb 20228.5/10Ignore the retro RPG trappings of Rise of the Third Power; this is a great game regardless of whether you're approaching it for nostalgic purposes. Its story is just fresh enough, its turn-based combat unique enough, to keep you firmly planted in 2022, not 1992.

PC InvasionJoshua ChuFeb 20225.5/10Rise of the Third Power squanders its potential and ultimately falls into mediocrity, with inconsistent art and sound direction and uninteresting turn-based mechanics. There's lots of good in this game, but it's not enough to outweigh the more disappointing shortfalls.

Daily MirrorEugene SowahFeb 20223/5 starsRise of The Third Power is a charming retro-inspired JRPG, that offers an entertaining plot, a great cast of characters and a unique battle system.

But fans of the genre should still look to pick up this 35-hour rollercoaster as it's a solid JRPG.
