At last, Nintendo is bringing two of the Game Boy Advance's best RPGs to Nintendo Switch Online. Stand up, Golden Sun fans, because we're finally getting Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age on the service next week, on January 17.
Both games are conntected and you need to play both for the whole story. Iirc they were planned as one game and later split up.
There are so-called Djinns, little creatures you collect and equip to change both skills and attributes of your party. Some are missable (Edit: Only in the third game, you can’t miss Djinns in the GBA titles, misremembered that). If you care for completion, you should look up their locations - or at least the missable ones. If you don’t, searching can be fun and the games are beatable with a fraction of them.
Instead of grinding, try experimenting with Djinn setups. Some are great for overworld puzzles, of which there are a lot, others are better for certain fights.
Speaking of puzzles, they are some of the best RPGs in that department with many overworld abilities to use. If you don’t like them, there are probably too many.
There is a third game on the DS, but as far as I’m concerned you can ignore it. It’s basically a long introduction for a new series that never happened. Only go for it if you need more after finishing both games.
