Great game! Shame SquareEnix decided to launch it with excessive DRM because they think you're a criminal for buying their game.

I just finished this game and immediately jumped into the first Dragon Quest entry. Visually, the game is stunning. The 2D-HD style is gorgeous, and I especially loved the transition between Dawn, Noon, Dusk, and Night

Very enjoyable RPG. Dragon Quest is always worthwhile time. DQ3 is in my top 5 Dragon Quest games & this remake reminded me why I enjoy this game & franchise even more so. Highly recommended for any normal Dragon Quest

Great game, OST is typical Dragon Quest. The difficulty is by far the hardest I have ever encountered in a dragon quest game. I was constantly wiping even with random encounters. Fairly short as well, my save file ended

Completed the game with 100% achievement in almost 120 hours. This being my first Dragon Quest game I didn't expect much. As this is a remake of an older game I understand why the combat system and story being too

This is my first time playing Dragon Quest three but, as a dragon quest fan since the PS1 I knew I was in for some videogame comfort food. I was not disappointed. The story: Awesome! The music: Banging! Extra things to
