Right here we go once more: A brand new Fireplace Emblem sport is garnering glowing critiques, and I am pondering this may very well be the one which lastly clicks with me. Launching tomorrow on Change 2, Fireplace Emblem: Fortune’s Weave sits at a implausible 89 metascore (on the time of publication) on GameSpot’s sister web site Metacritic. That is ok to position it No. 13 at the moment on Metacritic’s listing for greatest video games of 2026.
As well as, GameSpot’s Fireplace Emblem: Fortune’s Weave overview says that is “the brand new excessive level to beat for future entries.” As somebody who did not plan to purchase the technique RPG, I am now second-guessing myself. I’ve a historical past of shopping for well-reviewed Fireplace Emblem video games, making an attempt them out for possibly 5 hours, after which bouncing off them for one thing else. That was very true of Fireplace Emblem: Three Homes on Change in 2019.
Earlier than that, my first foray into the collection got here in 2013 with Fireplace Emblem Awakening on the Nintendo 3DS, in the event you don’t think about me maining Marth in Tremendous Smash Bros. Melee. It is a sport I nonetheless have downloaded on my 3DS XL, which sits within the drawer of my bedside desk. I’ve tried so many occasions to interact with the sport, solely to cease after a few hours. As soon as once more, I do not dislike the turn-based motion, however for some motive, it by no means absolutely connects. I am clearly within the minority, as a result of Fireplace Emblem Awakening mainly saved all the collection.
These earlier encounters with the Fireplace Emblem franchise had me ignoring Fortune’s Weave, till now. I see the excessive reward for the Change 2 unique and really feel like I is likely to be lacking out on a tremendous sport. Positive, I am at the moment in the course of enjoying Blasphemous and have Last Fantasy 7 Remake ready for me after choosing it up on sale. However what if Fortune’s Weave is the Fireplace Emblem sport that lastly, lastly resonates with me?
Fireplace Emblem: Fortune’s Weave launches tomorrow, September 17, on Change 2.
