Save .Hack: G.U., Vol. 2 - Reminisce


Reminisce is the second volume in the .hack//G.U. trilogy. It continues the adventure of Haseo, who has lost his closest friend to the mysterious monster known as Tri-Edge.

It takes place in the online game "The World," though the game itself isn't online. Reminisce simulates an online game, and as such, you can interact with other "players" by talking to them, trading items, and sending and receiving emails.

In my opinion, Reminisce is the best game in the series. More than any else, it chronicles Haseo's growth from a child into an adult as he learns to cope with unfortunate truths about the world and the people he's come to love and trust. Reminisce takes you into the characters and forces you to care about them. Even Atoli, whom I had despised since Rebirth, I came to pity and sympathize for in her anguish.

The combat is improved across the board: in addition to the new scythe weapon, which allows you to cut through groups of enemies at once, Reminisce offers what many fans have been begging for since volume one: the weapon trigger. The weapon trigger allows you to dynamically switch weapons with little to no delay in between, which was previously an annoyance in volume one and would be absolutely unforgivable with the expanded weapons system in Reminisce.

All in all, I highly recommend it to RPG fans, as well as those that just enjoy a good story. It has an engaging plot and some unbelievable plot twists. I recommend it whole-heartedly.Get more detail about .Hack: G.U., Vol. 2 - Reminisce.
