Even with its grating voice acting, grindy weapon and magic leveling, and
occasionally frustrating moments in combat, the Secret of Mana Remake is like a slice of pizza... even when it's bad, it's still pizza... and I can't be angry at that.
It's trivial to rewind at most of these
moments and try again — unless, say, you're in a distant second and first place has crossed the finish line, in which case you can't rewind anymore — but it can
occasionally make for a
frustrating guessing game on whether the line is «lying» or not.
