Golden Sun is a turn-based RPG where you control a party trying to stop a group from weaponizing Alchemy. Combat revolves around Psynergy—elemental magic tied to earth, fire, water, and wind—and Djinn, collectible creatures you slot into your party to alter stats and unlock summon attacks. Finding and equipping different Djinn changes your character classes and available spells, so experimentation matters. Between fights, you'll solve environmental puzzles using Psynergy abilities like moving objects or freezing water. The game spans multiple continents with towns, dungeons, and a world map to explore. Progression is linear but rewards thorough exploration with better Djinn and gear. If you like traditional JRPGs with a puzzle-solving layer and customizable party builds, this delivers both.
