Digimon Story: Time Stranger has a few minor hiccups, but it builds on its predecessors to deliver one of the best Digimon RPGs to date.

Lost Soul Aside
3.0

Lost Soul Aside is a competently made action game filled with phenomenal combat and cinematic battles. It has some compelling visuals and environments, but PC performance is lackluster, resulting in frequent hitches and distractions. The story isn’t the most engaging and has awkward platforming mechanics too.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a solid soulslike game with some unique systems that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Combat is flashy and fun, but it's bundled with some frustrating boss and movement mechanics. Still, a stunning world and excellent dungeon exploration make Wuchang: Fallen Feathers worth trying.

When a video game developer makes a big hit that earns it recognition, it’s only natural that it might try to stick with the same formula and try to make lightning strike twice. Atlus’s Metaphor: ReFantazio is a prime example, doubling down on the Persona structure to create a refined RPG that hits a lot of the same beats. Similarly, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, created by Too Kyo Games, heavily borrows elements from Danganronpa. It’s no surprise that the creators behind that eccentric visual novel series are responsible for this excellent new RPG that builds on its DNA.

Soulslike games come in many flavors. Some emphasize parrying enemy attacks like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, while others completely rely on dodging them, like Black Myth: Wukong. When I played The First Berserker: Khazan, I was looking forward to seeing where its mechanics fell within the Soulslike spectrum. It turns out that it’s squarely in the middle.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was already one of the Wii U’s best games, and this Definitive Edition does more than enough to justify another trip to planet Mira.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 makes a few missteps with the pacing of its multiversal story, but it puts a focus on quality character moments and impressive worldbuilding.
