Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven for PS5
$30 (was $50)
Romancing SaGa 2 is a ground-up remake of the 1993 Super Famicom classic. An HD port of the original was also released in 2017, but this new remake updates the experience to full 3D graphics and overhauls the turn-based battle system to match the new “timeline” system featured in recent titles like SaGa Emerald Beyond. There are also a few quality of life updates to make the game more approachable for new players, including multiple difficulty options.

The remake doesn’t look as nice on Nintendo Switch when compared to the PS5 edition, but you do get the added convenience of portability. It’s not the only way to play it on a portable device, though. Romancing SaGa 2 is also Steam Deck-verified. You can save 15% on a Steam key with promo code MAY15 at Green Man Gaming.
Romancing SaGa 2 sees players take the role of various members of a royal family as they fight to maintain their empire, and stave off world-ending threats. There’s also an entire castle building mechanics where you construct and manage fortresses around your kingdom. Like other games in the series, where you go, who you talk to, and which side quests you complete can have drastic changes on how the story unfolds. It’s a surprisingly open-ended experience, even by modern standards, and this new remake is the perfect opportunity to give it a go, or revisit it and try for an entirely different story path.
