Blue Reflection: Second Light Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Blue Reflection: Second Light is a relaxing RPG with great combat and characters that will pull you through to the ending.
Blue Reflection: Second Light provides an intriguing story and challenging battles despite its derivative gameplay. As such, I’d easily recommend it to fans of both anime and JRPGs.
Reflection: Second Light is a perfect example of what a sequel should be. It takes the ideas put forward by the original and improves all of them. There's better exploration, better visuals, and, most importantly, much better character writing. The original was an average and forgettable JRPG. In contrast, Second Light is one of the best JRPGs released in recent memory.
This review took a long time to make. Why is that? Well, it's because I wanted to be more thorough when analyzing this game's strengths and weaknesses. Blue Reflection: Second Light is a game that's seen as a sort of reboot/sequel to the original Blue Reflection. How does that work? It does away with many controversial aspects while bringing some new takes in the JRPG scene that may or may not benefit it way more in the long run.

This is a more serious affair from Gust, with some touching moments as pasts are revealed and new relationships are formed. And with its energetic battle system that keeps you on your toes, it’s captivating from beginning to end.
Persona meets Sailor Moon and it lands more times than not! Very good game and has an engaging story.
Blue Reflection: Second Light is an improvement over the original in every way. It's a brilliant blend of action and storytelling, where both side complement each other perfectly.

Blue Reflection: Second Light is a laid-back JRPG and a great improvement from its predecessor that makes several refinements across the board.
Some games unexpectedly get sequels so now that we have Blue Reflection: Second Light, let's see if this magical girl RPG is any good.
Blue Reflection: Second Light has players take on a variety of demons as its primary mode of combat. Battles unfold in real-time, with players issuing commands to the girls in a standard JRPG turn-based style. Teams consist of three characters on the battlefield, with one of the other girls serving as a Supporter that can use items or provide buffs and debuffs from the sidelines. Attacks and item consumption use up Ether, which each character recovers at a different speed. This increases with every skill used throughout a battle, meaning that the longer a fight goes on, the shorter the corresp...
