  Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA was a pretty good entry too, though with a couple minor issues. Circle of the Moon inadvertently highlighted how hard it was to see the original GBA screen (too dark, and it caught reflections like crazy), so Konami overcorrected with Harmony and focused too much on the graphics. Unfortunately they put so much processing into the visuals that there wasn’t much room left for music samples so it’s all chiptunes. That’s not necessarily bad but it did feel like a step backwards.

  The gameplay was fun, at least. It’s been a while but I recall a neat system combining the various classic sub weapons with different magic elements.

  It’s worth playing the whole trilogy, but do it in order. After Aria you likely won’t want to go back to the others.

  E.T.

  Yes really. I played it all the time as a kid and didn’t think it was any more difficult or abstract than the rest of the 2600’s catalogue. Granted, we kept the manual, which made a huge difference in understanding and enjoying its bizarre logic, but still. I had no idea it was so hated until at least a decade later.

  That “modern” definition of literally is at least 250 years old. It wasn’t created by the internet, or even any living person.

  As far as completion: I managed to 100% Mirage in 50 hours, and part of that was spent aimlessly exploring. I’m sure it could be done faster. Of course, it’s also the weakest entry in the series in a while, and the easiest to skip.

  I feel you on Valhalla. 300+ hours and I still had side stuff unfinished.

  Whoa. I had given up on ever getting a third Styx. Great news.
