Indivisible

Indivisible

October 6, 2019
8.8

True to its name, Indivisible should be taken as a whole to understand what makes it a unique roleplaying game. Whether it's watching Ajna and her friends growing close or theory crafting combos through party synergy, this is a game about the importance of cohesion. Sure, the plot is a bit predictable at the beginning, and there are some irritating difficulty spikes thanks to overly long boss HP bars, but those few lows are never enough to take away from how fantastic the story and gameplay are as a whole. Amidst all its moving parts, Indivisible finds its center, and opens its third eye.

Darq has a few frustrating stealth encounters, sure, and some jump scares that grated on my nerves in the wrong sort of way. However, those blunders weren't enough to diminish the sense of wonder I had helping Lloyd navigate his nightmares. Just like a dream, Darq can be as baffling as it is beautiful at times, but it’s a wonderful taste of surrealism rarely seen in games.

Shadowbringers weaves such a beautiful tale that it's tough not to gush about each and every strand of it individually. There might be some awkward job balancing changes here and there, but the fumbles are never enough to take away from how magnificent this expansion is as a whole. I arrived a stranger in Norvrandt, but I left as one of their own as even the simplest quests drew me in and made me truly care about the story being told there. Shadowbringers has only further solidified XIV's status as one of the greatest Final Fantasy games ever made.

A Plague Tale: Innocence tells a magnificent story about hope shining through no matter how bleak life might be.

VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is a unique take on the traditional visual novel that's greater than the sum of its parts

Monster Hunter: World finally arrives on PC with an excellent port that was well worth the extra development time.

Vampyr is ambitious for sure, but with ambition comes risk, and unfortunately, here it provides very little in the way of rewards.

World Of Final Fantasy makes its way onto PC, but stumbles a bit in the process.

Cosmic Star Heroine is a fun space adventure and throwback to the 16 Bit era of JRPGs while also bringing enough unique ideas to stand all on its own.

Yakuza 0 excels in all that it sets out to do and may well be on its way to becoming a modern classic.
