Dragon Quest 11 – Review Chapter 4 – Need More Musicians in Dragon Quest
As we move onto Chapter 4 of our review, we've only had glowing things to say about Dragon Quest 11. The voice acting is fantastic, the environments beautiful, and the story-to-date has been top notch. I was wondering if GamesReviews would be handing out another elusive 10/10 score to this title, but after about 25 hours of gameplay I'm realizing one major flaw. The music in Dragon Quest 11 is atrocious, and I can't imagine how this was overlooked, when everything else is so, so good.

Dragon Quest 11 – Review Chapter 3 – Typical Battle Sequences
Many turn based role playing games have drawn from the experience and development of the Dragon Quest series, and true to the original release, Square Enix has actually done very little to overhaul the battle system they have implemented. Sure, there are a few new ways to deal damage, and a new movement option in Dragon Quest 11, but it's mostly stuck to the core mechanics that have made the franchise so successful for so long. And that's not a bad thing.

Dragon Quest 11 – Review Chapter 2 – All Those Voices
When games are developed and released in Japan, western audiences sometimes feel left out. This was definitely the case for Dragon Quest 11, which was released in July of 2017 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. Over a year later, and the game has finally landed on western shores, with many fans asking, "What took so long."
