Backlog 365: Day 17 - The Last Remnant

For Backlog 365 I plan on playing one game on my backlog everyday this year and write about it.

The deck is pretty stacked for this one. The Last Remnant is a game I've wanted to play for a while. I wanted to get it when it first came out, but had too many things to play. A couple years back I saw it on a list of "best RPGs" of the last generation, which reminded me of the game and I ended up getting it cheap on PC. Big RPGs like the Last Remnant, where there is a lot of story up front, are hard to judge in the first hour. It would really take 5-10 hours to get a solid impression of The Last Remnant, but that isn't what I'm doing here. So, to judge on the side of caution, I'm going to put The Last Remnant on the Shelved list.

Judgement: Shelved
