Toriyama went on to say, “I myself can only play casual games, but I do check out the trending games my family plays, and I think I know a little something about them even for an old man."
The letter concluded with the creator recommending the game to all of his fans, as well as highlighting the new area and story exclusively made for the game adaption, Forest Land.
Sand Landis available right now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and I’d highly recommend it to any and all RPG fans, whether you’re into anime or not.
