Against all odds, The Adventures of Elliot mixes in smart gameplay depth with a beautiful world across four distinct ages. The result? Quite possibly the start of Square Enix's next big thing.

You know what can be equally as fun and inventive as traditional turn-based RPGs? Top-down action-adventures styled in the vein of classic Zelda. And with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Square Enix seems to have finally gotten the message. I say this as someone who utterly adores the pixel-fuelled HD-2D art style Octopath Traveller pioneered back in 2018. However, even I had admittedly grown pretty tired of it by the time of the fourth, then fifth release to use the aesthetic within the same genre.

Well, as The Adventures of Elliot swiftly proves, there's plenty of life left in it yet, and it's all down to how surprisingly well it merges with a fun, fluid, and ambitious adventure that places real-time action and dungeon-based puzzle solving at the forefront. Mouthful of a title aside, The Adventures of Elliot is an unexpected delight I didn’t really see coming.
