* ContestedSequel: Given that ''Sacred Cards'' was very easy, some consider ''Reshef's'' intense difficulty spike to be an improvement, others cite it as FakeDifficulty by way of TheComputerIsACheatingBastard. The card pool is larger and the gameplay more complex than ''Sacred Cards'', which allows for more intricate strategies while still capturing some EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, but the changes are also the source of the game's main {{Scrappy Mechanic}}s. The story, too, tends to drive a wedge through people, with some naming it BetterThanCanon for taking advantage of the universe of the series and featuring some neat twists and turns, and others labeling it a bad fanfic that crowbars every character it can think of into the plot for no reason.

** EvenBetterSequel: The other side of the game loves this game because you spend much more time to play through, having an interesting story and this game allows you to play all three Egyptian Gods unlike the previous game.

Reshef was listed under Horrible Video Games for a while, and only left after \'\'all\'\' Yu Gi Oh games got removed. It\'s definitely not a universal opinion that Reshef is the better.

* EvenBetterSequel: Aside from the very steep difficulty curve, the story and gameplay are vastly improved from ''Sacred Cards''. Gameplay incorporates many of the anime's EarlyInstallmentWeirdness rules with fair success, there's a vast pool of different cards to use, and the story is original, told well, and has some genuinely surprising and effective plot twists.

** Another example: Why does [[{{Jerkass}} Weevil]] show a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold hidden heart of gold]] and act somewhat nicer to the player? Because the player isn't Yugi/Yami Yugi. Therefore, Weevil holds no grudge against the player for anything like Duelist Kingdom and does not even lose to him in a tournament, averting a great deal of [[BerserkButton humiliation]]. Plus, unlike the [[AntiHero Pharaoh]], the player does not ([[HeroicMime apparently]]) [[BerserkButton laugh at Weevil]]. Thus, we see his [[HeartwarmingMoments nicer side]].

** Every foe in the post-game area, the Hall of Eternity, has at least 30,000 LP. Most of them have 60,000, however, which is the amount that Sol and Reshef had combined.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Kaibaland plot, though it overlaps with a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** The optional sidequest where everyone thinks Tristan/Honda has turned into a robot monkey.
** Another optional moment where Tea gets hit on by a rock star and the penguin-themed member of the Big Five. This is because of a fortune-teller saying she'd have bad luck with men.
* EscapistCharacter: Your character. He gets to hang out with Yugi and Joey, save the world, and even beat Kaiba in a duel!
* FridgeBrilliance: The reason the Millennium Puzzle went missing, and why it's broken later on, is because normally [[DeusExitMachina Yami Yugi would win all the duels instead of the player]].
* GameBreaker: The Winged Dragon of Ra's Phoenix Mode can be discarded in the hand, to immediately appear on the field in Battle Mode. [[note]]It doesn't necessarily guarantee a win, though, if your opponent can lower its Attack/Defense Points with Effect Cards.[[/note]]

* NightmareFuel: The Chevaliers, green lizard-like creatures with Pegasus's original hair. [[ParanoiaFuel That ambush you in a locked, otherwise empty cable car]].
** The image of Pegasus in the opening [[spoiler: and ending]].
* ThatOneAttack: That One ''Trap'', Torrential Tribute, which ''destroys all non-Divine monsters on the attacking side''. Late-game duelists have ''three of them''.
** There's also That One Spell, Raigeki, which also destroys all monsters on the opposing team. There's an Anti-Raigeki card to counter it, but the odds of you having one out are slim, thanks to...
** Harpie's Feather Duster, which removes all traps and spells from the opponent's field. It's not just Mai that has them, either.
* ThatOneBoss: Marik. {{Justified|Trope}} as he's protecting the power of Ra, though. Making this worse is he's a ''required'' boss.
** Mako Tsunami is up there, too, especially in the rematch.
** God help you if Weevil Underwood summons the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth.
** Every duelist in the game can qualify as this considering the horrible cards you start the game with, the low amounts of Deck Capacity you will be getting, and the ability for the computer to topdeck their best cards.
** Reshef. 40,000 LP, all three God Cards (despite the fact that YOU have all of them), regenerating LP cards, enough traps and spells to inhibit your attacks, and he comes immediately after another battle. You can have a hard time beating him using ACTION REPLAY.
** Odion is somewhere on this spectrum as well, although you ''can'' skip him and go straight for Marik instead. At the very least, he's a WakeUpCallBoss, and you had ''better'' be prepared if you're confident/foolish enough to try to beat him and Marik back-to-back.
** ''Arkana''. With non-tribute monsters beefed up to over 1800 Attack with the Yami field and varied types of monsters, your only prayer for survival is to change the field type or get lucky with Final Destiny. Even then, it's an uphill battle.
** Mai Valentine, especially in the rematch.
