Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream is an adventure about the alchemist Sophie, who leaves her hometown of Kirchen Bell and goes to look for her friend Plachta. She disappeared into a dream world called Erde, and the path there promises to be confusing. Alchemy here works like a construction set: ingredients are placed in a certain order, and their properties affect the outcome. The more complex the item, the more layers of calculation there are - from the quality of raw materials to the arrangement of materials. There are also battles where heroes fight in order, using skills and items of their own production. The world consists of several regions with their own climate and inhabitants, and as the story progresses, the warm relationships between the squad that are familiar to the series are revealed. In addition to the main plot, there are many collecting and crafting quests, as well as side encounters that you should not miss. It is also worth noting that between chapters there is free time that can be spent collecting materials or on side encounters that affect the plot. Each character in the squad receives its own development line, and you should not miss it: some techniques are unlocked only through personal stories. This way the game remains warm even when serious topics are raised. There is also a detailed journal with recipes - a useful thing, because it is simply impossible to keep hundreds of combinations in your head. The game is leisurely and requires perseverance: there is no rush and no punishment for slowness. For those who love role-playing games about crafting and travel, the Sophie 2 provides many hours of quiet operation and nice details.
