Cladun X3 released on September 26 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam in the west. Final Weapon reviewed Cladun X3 and gave it a 3/5 score, noting that the game is an action-adventure RPG that has a lot going for it. The systems are overwhelming at first but are quite fun when you get used to them.
Final Weapon reviewed Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and gave it a 4.5 out of 5, noting that the game is “the perfect introduction to Trails, with an outstanding cast, engaging gameplay, and a world impossible not to get invested in. The slow-burning narrative, while very enjoyable, can lead to monotonous sections of the game, but this is just a minor gripe considering the massive adventure at hand. New and old fans alike will fall in love with what is assuredly one of the best RPGs of the year.”
