Nice 16bit art style
Some good music

The editors didn't like
Extremely simplistic turn-based
Random-encounter combat is irritating
Dungeon and sidequest design is rather bland
Exploration and fighting simply lacks any feeling of reward
RPG combat is too basic and easy
Story doesn't really pick up until the very end
Developer
Framing device can be annoying
Money is basically useless
Some of the naming is punishing
Most story choices early on won't affect the ending

Abstract: At first, The Longest Five Minutes seems like it's going to be a completely new take on the JRPG formula: it runs through the entire story's narrative in a couple of cutscenes before dropping you right into the final boss battle — where, inconveniently, t...

An entire JRPG trimmed down to the length of a single afternoon, The Longest Five Minutes brings a Memento-esque experience that plays around with the plays with the concept of time and the fallibility of our own memories...
Calling The Longest Five Minutes a deconstruction of 8- and 16-bit RPG tropes is only half-true, as it turns around and reconstructs those same tropes by journey's end. Still, it's a brisk and amusing adventure that knows how to play to its strengths...

Malgré une excellente histoire, The Longest Five Minutes n'arrive tout simplement pas à bout de son concept. Trop d'éléments du jeu ont été dilués ce qui nous a empêchés de profiter pleinement de ce que le scénario avait à nous offrir...

Le concept initial tient ses promesses, Un récit dynamique et plus captivant qu'on aurait pu le croire, Les différents embranchements permis par l'aspect visual novel, La possibilité de revivre les souvenirs n'importe quand, Des héros pas toujours origina
Un RPG beaucoup trop classique, sans prise de risque, Le challenge est aux abonnés absents, rendant tous les combats vides d'intérêt, L'exploration, le grind et l'équipement rendus complètement inutile par la mise à niveau automatique, L'hommage un peu tr
