Visions of Mana has arrived on PS5 and PS4. A brand new instalment in the long, long running RPG series, Visions looks to breathe some additional life into the beloved property, providing a sizable adventure across an incredibly pretty fantasy world.
We awarded the game a 'good' 7/10 in our Visions of Mana PS5 review, concluding that, overall, it's a worthy successor to the Mana name, even though it's held back by some notable flaws. We wrote: «As a nostalgia-driven retread of the classic Mana adventure, Visions of Mana is rock solid — but it struggles to be anything more than a reminder of how magical those old RPGs could be. If you can look beyond the game's monotonous storytelling and tragically bland characters, the essence of an old-school excursion is here, in the exploration of wonderful environments and in battles against burly boss monsters.»

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.
It falls into the category of will definitely pick up when it's on sale for me.
I may grab it for Steam Deck, but I definitely want to check it out.
Both Star Wars and this are on my 'I'll get them eventually' list.
My plan might have changed if either got like 10s across the board but that hasn't happened.
