killamch89 Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 I recently revisited Folklore on the PS3 and was curious to hear others' thoughts. The unique blend of RPG and action elements, combined with its striking art style and story, make it a standout in my eyes. However, some people felt its gameplay could get repetitive. Does anyone else have fond memories of this underrated gem, or do you think it was overhyped?
Scorpion Posted January 28, 2025 Posted January 28, 2025 I loved Folklore! Its art style and storytelling truly set it apart. The gameplay has its flaws, but the experience is memorable.

The Irish mythology influences provided a refreshing alternative to the usual Japanese or high fantasy tropes, while the environment design created genuinely atmospheric locations that compensated for the technical limitations of early PS3 development.
