      The Japan-only prequel to Earthbound was basically carried by its marketing. It wasn’t a great game by any stretch of the imagination.

      Big (empty) world with innovative (terrible) graphics, a challenging (unbalanced) combat system, an interesting (impossible to follow) story and packed full of content (grinding) that will keep you playing for hours (because you keep game-overing)
