You won't believe your eyes

Beyond its quality, its unexpectedness is what makes Odin Sphere doubly special. It came from absolutely nowhere and reminds us that people are still struggling to make the games of their dreams. This game avoids all of the obvious pitfalls, and while it's not perfect, it's fiercely independent to fashion - both technological and game-design wise. Better buy it before eBay is the only source.
