Blue Reflection Quartet's release prompts a discussion on preserving multimedia game franchises, particularly service games like Blue Reflection: Sun which have ended their service.

Review – Blue Reflection Quartet (PlayStation 5)
Blue Reflection Quartet compiles four games from the series, including remastered versions of Blue Reflection and Blue Reflection: Second Light, alongside new adaptations of Blue Reflection: Sun and Blue Reflection Ray. While the original two games offer substantial JRPG experiences with turn-based and real-time combat respectively, the latter two are significantly shorter and more niche, serving as bonus content. The collection is recommended as the most inexpensive way to experience the series on PlayStation 5, offering quality-of-life improvements.
Blue Reflection Quartet review: More like a Trio and a half
Blue Reflection Quartet is an anthology collection featuring the original Blue Reflection and its sequel, Second Light, alongside two new entries: Ray and Sun. While the main games offer a compelling take on the dark magical girl genre with traditional RPG gameplay, the collection's new additions are less successful. Ray's adaptation is weak, and Sun, a reconstruction of a mobile game, feels like a lesser curiosity. The collection is a more efficient way to play the main games, but the Switch versions are locked to 30 fps.
