The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 Review

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 reviewed by George Yang on PlayStation 5, also available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 makes a few missteps with the pacing and structure of its multiversal story, but it’s buoyed by a focus on quality character moments and impressive worldbuilding over earthshaking reveals. The turn-based combat and party customization haven’t changed much at all, but they didn’t really need to, and the real-time action side of things has seen some small but meaningful improvements. Daybreak 2 doesn’t move the needle in the overall Calvard saga much, but this more personal story is still another good entry in the Trails series overall.
