Reverie: Sweet As Edition Review (PlayStation 5)

by Jim Smale · Published June 28, 2023 · Updated June 26, 2023

For our Reverie: Sweet As Edition Review we play an action-adventure game set on a fictional island in New Zealand, inspired by the legend of Maui and the Giant Fish where the demigod himself fishes up the North Island with a powerful fishhook. With restless spirits threatening the safety of Toromi Island’s inhabitants, Tai must venture through dangerous dungeons and across a variety of environments to put the spirits to rest. All in a summer holiday!
