So I played the original Golden Sun a few years ago on an emulator and never really got a chance to play the second, so I was left wanting more and never got that. I bought Dark Dawn when it came out, but got maybe a few hours in and stopped playing. But with the releases of Golden Sun and Golden Sun The Lost Age on the NSO, I said to myself I was going through the whole series and I'm thrilled to say I'm so glad I did. I had so much fun playing all of them and I've just been wanting to gush about how much fun they were. The puzzles and combat were both huge highlights and I truly felt like they were a crossover of Legend of Zelda's puzzle mechanics with Final Fantasy's combat/story building (both of these games were heavy hitters for me growing up). Even Dark Dawn I thought was fantastic, despite not being highly regarded. Sure, maybe there are some flaws, but as a whole great game.
So despite always rooting for Isaac, I now have my own attachment. I'm officially on the Isaac for Smash train, and my god give us Golden Sun 4. I'm 32 now, and I haven't felt this way for a new RPG in a long time. But these past three weeks I've been riding the Golden Sun high. It was a fantastic experience.
