If you are unsure where to begin with this series Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist Of Salburg is a great starting place. It's the first in the series, and the facelift it has been given is very welcoming to newcomers, like me. I'm glad I gave this one a shot before trying something else in the series; trying this one out after might have felt like a downgrade. Combat and gathering, two of Atelier Marie's main elements, can be done automatically, making them feel unimportant when I know that is not true. Focusing on learning about the world's characters is...

This remake of the very first game, now titled Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, is both an opportunity for new fans and old to see where it all began. Like the original, it has a pretty small scope, however, it is a mostly relaxing experience.

Atelier Marie Remake is simultaneously a return to form and a fresh step forward for the Atelier series. It's incredible to experience the roots of this series, and as sad as I am about the barebones storytelling, the shifted focus to time-management and calendar events gives the game an addictive farm-simulator vibe that kept me glued to it for hours. I'm excited to see how ideas from this remake come forward to inspire whatever this series has in store for us next.

The next three years, depending on whether or not you want to see Salburg’s side content through, will either feel like a slog or keep you as focused as the game’s first few hours. The simple systems are only enough to keep you interested for so long, so you’ll need a narrative push to keep you interested. Personally, I liked the cast of characters (particularly the weapons shop guy) and saw through some of their stories. I think you could easily clear everyone’s in one playthrough, but if you don’t like the time limit you could also enable the game’s...

The Atelier franchise, a once hidden commodity that cultivated a niche, has recently managed to break into the mainstream. This success can be directly attributed to a little-known trilogy known as Atelier Ryza. Thick thighs save lives, after all, and the internet immediately grabbed hold of the female protagonist. I admit some of the reasons are questionable, but the majority gravitated to how she represents a healthy body image for women. It also helps that, overall, this experience proves ...

The grand city of Salburg is an adventurer’s paradise. Great wars have been won here, demonic villains vanquished, and epic prophecies fulfilled. These, however, have nothing to do with the story of Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, a reconstruction of the PlayStation classic that established this series of cosy RPGs when it originally released almost a quarter of a century ago. With a focus on crafting, resource management, relationship-building, and light combat, Atelier gam...

While Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg feels very basic in some regards, and some elements of it can be repetitive or irritating at times, it’s hard not to be won over by it. This offers a good old-fashioned Atelier experience, where the events that play out are based on your actions. And with that comes plenty of freedom and a multitude of endings to discover. Whether you’re a series fan keen to explore its origins, or newcomer looking for a good entry point, this remake is well worth sinking some time into.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg is a blast from the past in all the best ways and only a few of the annoying ones. If you’re a fan of retro JRPGs or the Atelier series, you owe it to yourself to play this game. And even if you aren’t, you’ll probably have a blast crafting and exploring with Marie.

Atelier Marie Remake is an outstanding re-imagining that takes everything that worked about the original game while modernizing and creating a better-flowing experience. Combat is a lot snappier by default and gains even more of an advantage with auto-battle and fast-forward being added in. The adventure's usage of allies and friendship-building alongside quest lines helps flesh out character relationships and add drama to things while the redone graphics and art style are a big win. The original title looked fantastic for a tactical RPG on the PS1, but the remake looks outstanding for any genre on PS4 and PS5. The...
