Visions of Mana is the first mainline Mana game in nearly two decades and, despite some issues, is a great step forward for the series.
Unicorn Overlord seems allergic to risk-taking, and it makes for a safe and enjoyable product that fails to introduce anything new. So when I was given just a passable game, I couldn’t help but be let down.
The Dragon Quest Monsters series makes a great return on Nintendo Switch, but in regards to its story it does very little to properly honor the legacy of the game it takes inspiration from.
Final Fantasy XVI is a confident game with amazing combat, an earnest narrative, and unbridled spectacle. Faults in pacing, RPG depth, quest design, and all those other nagging criticisms be damned - this game is special.
Octopath Traveler II is the rare sequel that manages to improve on the original without changing too much, finding success by expanding and polishing.
Harvestella is Square Enix's endearing first attempt at a farming sim RPG, only slightly held back by its budget.
As a follow-up to a 2019 cult classic adventure game, this surprise sequel is full of heart and blows past expectations.
While its tactical combat is wonderful, issues with the branching narrative and morality systems hold Triangle Strategy back from true greatness.
NEO: The World Ends With You does a wonderful job recapturing what made this formula work so well on the DS, but in a more approachable way.
Scarlet Nexus contains just about everything you’d want to see from a new game IP. Clear ambition, innovative gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and room to improve. A lot of room to improve, but it's still a commendable effort.
