Fire Emblem: Fortune\u2019s Weave launched on Friday and reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, marking a strong return to the style and structure that made Three Houses such a hit.\n<\/p>\n

Over on Metacritic<\/a>, the game currently holds an 89 overall score based on around 70 critic reviews. The reception is similarly strong on OpenCritic<\/a>, where it also averages an 89, with 97% of critics recommending the game.\n<\/p>\n

Unlike Fire Emblem: Engage, which was more of a classic, combat-focused Fire Emblem game, Fortune\u2019s Weave is a proper follow\u2011up to Three Houses, bringing back the social\u2011sim elements that made Three Houses so popular. However, this time around, players aren\u2019t locked into a single route from the start. Instead, you can freely jump between four main character paths, allowing you to shift focus if a particular storyline or cast doesn\u2019t immediately click. It\u2019s a more flexible approach that encourages experimentation and keeps the narrative feeling fresh.\n<\/p>\n

Visually, Fortune\u2019s Weave is a notable step up from both Engage and Three Houses, with higher overall production values, a trend we\u2019ve seen across Nintendo\u2019s first\u2011party Switch 2 exclusives so far.\n<\/p>\n

KitGuru says: I haven’t had the chance to put many hours into Fortune’s Weave just yet but based on the reviews so far, it appears to be a hugely successful follow-up to the new formula established in Three Houses.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
