Review: BLUE REFLECTION: Quartet (Switch 2)
BLUE REFLECTION: Quartet is a compilation for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 featuring four titles from the series, including the JRPGs BLUE REFLECTION and BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light, the anime series BLUE REFLECTION RAY, and the mixed-media project BLUE REFLECTION SUN. While the core entries offer engaging turn-based combat and character-driven stories about relationships and healing, the collection's overall appeal may vary, with RAY being a brief recap and SUN having some disjointed elements. Despite some flaws, the tentpole games are considered worth the price of admission for fans of the genre.

Review – Blue Reflection Quartet (PlayStation 5)
