.hack//G.U. Last Recode is a collection of PlayStation 2 JRPG titles. The story was told with three separate volumes. For many years it was pretty expensive to acquire original copies of all three, making this collection a real treat for fans that wanted a chance to play the games again at a much more reasonable cost. Last Recode saw a good amount of gameplay improvements making it accessible to modern audiences, as well as upscaled 1080p graphics, including 4K support, and 60 frames per second.
I mentioned that the series’ story was told throughout three volumes (three games), while Volume 3 had a firm ending, .hack//G.U. Last Recode gave players even more with a fourth volume that showed us what happened after the events of the third. With so much content, .hack//G.U. Last Recode could take completionists well over 100 hours to see and achieve everything.
