Dragon Quest 7 is one of those games, a sprawling RPG that can easily go on for hundreds of hours. It may not be the best Dragon Quest game, but Dragon Quest 7 remains one of the most unique entries in the franchise — and one of the best examples of the beauty of a true slow-burn video game. Dragon Quest 7 perfectly nails the feeling of adventure, chronicling its heroes journey like a series of TV. That island setting is Dragon Quest 7’s most fascinating feature, as each one you visit is essentially its own self-contained story arc. Future Dragon Quest games would refine the formula, mostly to success, but there’s still something undeniably special about Dragon Quest 7.
