While nothing matches the energy of sitting around the table with friends, "Baldur's Gate 3" delivers the depth and choice of "D&D" in a massive package.
"Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening" opens a portal to feudal Japan that strategy fans and history enthusiasts will want to dive into head first.
"Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon" commits to a very different experience than its predecessors, but effortlessly pulls it off.
While not perfect, "Wild Hearts" is a great experience, which might just grow into something that can one day challenge "Monster Hunter's" dominance.
Legend of Mana is a competent port of an odd little game, which is honestly an achievement for Square Enix. The fun of the original is intact, and small quality of life additions help ease the grind of '90s JRPG design. Ring Ring Land doesn't add much, but it doesn't take away either. The Mana series has gotten a lot of love from both fans and Square Enix recently, and this Legend of Mana remaster keeps the brand growing strong.
You might actually like Rise better than World, as it brings back some of the strategic variety while building on more recent quality-of-life updates. It's a shame that the Switch holds the game back in small ways, but this is a contender for best in the series. If post-launch support is as good as it was for World, this game could easily rise above the rest.
