The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Makes A Strong Argument For Silent Protagonists
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an action-RPG from Team Asano at Square Enix that blends classic Zelda-like gameplay with the studio's signature HD-2D visual style. While the combat and dungeon design are praised for their depth and creativity, the game suffers from a dull story and overly verbose characters, particularly regarding the silent protagonist trope and its time-travel premise. Despite these narrative shortcomings, the game offers a solid foundation with engaging mechanics and customization options.
