Manual Labor

Do you miss the good old days when your physical games came with thick, detailed, potentially colorful instruction manuals? Then you need to go get yourself a copy of Summon Night 6: Lost Borders for the PlayStation 4. You know that I am all for digital download exclusivity and that everyone should fully embrace digital ownership but even I was pleasantly surprised by the instruction manual included here. The case felt heavy so I suspected that there was something else in there alongside the Blu-ray disc but I would never have guessed a colorful 70+ page manual. In the old days, I would normally go through the entirety of a game's instruction manual before playing the game and I do plan on doing that again here. I do hope that this game wasn't designed with in-game tutorials however like most modern games because then it would sour the whole experience due to the redundancy that would cause. At any rate, Gaijinworks must be commended for their efforts with this physical release. Even Nintendo has abandoned the practice of accompanying physical games with instruction manuals and these guys went all the way. Skip the digital download for Summon Night 6 and pick up the physical release now!

This is the proper way to release physical games.
