All in all, Shadow Labyrinth is an ambitious reimagining of a classic franchise that works much better than it has any right to to. That said, the presentation is still a bit rusty, and it’s really difficult at times. I hope you’re prepared to spend six tries to get past...
All in all, RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is an enjoyable update to an already compelling game. Some of the bells and whistles are irritating and the fusion system could be better. But I heartily recommend it to fans of stylish action RPGs and occult mystery titles.
All in all, Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a fun idea with a cute aesthetic and an addicting gameplay loop. Unfortunately, its implementation of Online Mode is incredibly frustrating. I sincerely hope the developers polish that element up in the future. At least it has enough substance to make...
All in all, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered is a fun mecha action title with solid visuals, audio, and mechanics. It’s not anything truly special, but it is a treat for Gundam SEED fans. I just wish they’d properly adapted the franchise’s narrative instead of slapping a few...
This title is not entirely perfect. The adventure game elements look a little goofy, the characters can be quite archetypal, and the humor gets quite crass. But the game’s wild plot twists, intense character dynamics, and sheer style hold it together.
Sadly, the game only offers Japanese voice acting. At least the graphics are generally quite nice. However, there were a few graphical bugs. The screen would become blurry at times, and Yumia often appears to be standing in midair while climbing. Once, I got stuck halfway up a wall.
If you like psychological horror, thrillers, mysteries, and the atmosphere of ghost stories, you’ll enjoy Urban Myth Dissolution Center. If you prefer your games to have actual gameplay beyond gathering and assembling information, you probably won’t. But please give this title a shot just for the sheer experience of playing...
For some reason, the screen slowly rotates by default when entering a new scene or shop screen. The problem persisted after I unplugged my mouse. And there seem to be fewer than usual NPCs you can talk to on the streets. But these issues are far from dealbreakers for me.
I’m going to be blunt: the art design is good, but this is not an especially pretty game. The original release had some gorgeous sprites and pixel art. In comparison, this title’s 3D graphics are a letdown. They’re serviceable and pleasantly retro in their own right, but they really don’t...
Tales of Graces f Remastered has a lot to say about what causes cycles of violence and abuse, and it’s not all executed well. The conclusion pulls some punches given how brutal the opening is. And if you dislike inter-party drama and daddy issues, this may not be the game...
Ys X: Nordics
All in all, Ys X: Nordics is a fun action-RPG romp with vikings, frantic combat, and a truly entertaining silent protagonist. If you can figure out the parry system, it might even be a good game. I’m still docking it points for making me swear at my Switch so loud...
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a complete 3D remake of the 1993 classic Romancing SaGa 2. The SaGa franchise has always enjoyed playing around with the tropes and trappings of JRPGs, and this title is no exception. While some pieces of this old game are frustrating and...
