Fairy Tail 2 is a compelling action RPG that provides fans with the super-anticipated Alvarez arc. However, its efforts to make itself as accessible end up missing the landing, resulting in a rather unpolished experience that makes it hard to justify the cost.
Having the perfect team doesn't necessarily mean they can put out a perfect game. Now free from its Apple Arcade mobile jail, Fantasian Neo Dimension is now out there for everyone to play with its pros and cons for everyone to see.

Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam is a decent fandisk, and it offers quite a bit of content for those who enjoyed the original game. However, if you're looking for romance, you'll be sorely disappointed. Even though the game adds three routes, you can only describe them as "well, they're technically new."

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake brings the first of the Erdrick trilogy to a modern audience, and it manages to do so with beautiful graphics and various nice quality-of-life improvements that make the ageless RPG yet again a must-play for newbies or even veterans to the Dragon Quest franchise.
Monospaced Lovers is a game with potential, but has some pain points, such as solutions to puzzles being rather obtuse, and some confusing game design decisions that may or may not worsen the experience, depending on the targeted audience.
The Jackbox Survey Scramble is without a doubt one of the most ambitious projects from Jackbox Games that I've played, and it manages to be very fun.

The Foxy's Way Home is a game that definitely does what it says on the box, but only that. It's more of a bite-sized game that you can punch through in less than an hour, and offers surprisingly little for its high sticker price of $15,99. If you're into the market for a simple game that doesn't take much time to clear, perhaps it's better to just...look for something else.
I am honestly speechless on how BAD I★CHU: Chibi Edition is. Were I to call this the definitive way to experience the series, I would think that I have gone crazy, and my friends would also say the same. I don't know who to throw the blame at for this subpar work, but one thing is certain: You're much better off spending your hard-earned money on something else. Trust me.

REYNATIS is a very ambitious game, with big names like Yoko Shimomura and Kazushige Nojima forming a real dream team. So you'd expect that to mean the game would be perfect, but unfortunately it seems to have been released before it had finished baking in the development oven.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Plus is just what Danganronpa fans have been waiting for for years. The game takes elements that seem familiar to those who are already fans of the Kodaka's franchise, but still adds many original elements. It's not perfect, of course, especially with its performance bottlenecks and some bugs that are probably the result of a lack of optimization. However, the expressive characters and dialogue are comical and incredible, and I'd say the best part is that the game is now available on multiple platforms, meaning there's no excuse not to play this game.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection bundles together two wonderful experiences following Miles Edgeworth. While the first game was available in the West, this is the first time that Prosecutor's Gambit has been localized. The new additions are welcomed, offering a pleasant visual upgrade and a solid gallery mode to experience the music, visuals, and more. Overall, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is an easy recommendation for any fan of detective games or visual novels.
Gundam Breaker 4 is certainly... an interesting game. The only thing it has in its favor is the customization aspect so you can take photos and share them with others. But if you don't like the experience outside of the Diorama and perhaps the missions that will be added in future Season Pass patches, I find it very difficult to recommend to anyone.

I already had high expectations when I saw that Good-Feel was behind the development of BAKERU, and it pleases me to say that yes, they know how to make a good action platformer that is really fun to play. Its zany references to Japanese culture may be lost to the average player, but for me, they just make the game that much more charming and appealing.

Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid is a game that delivers what it promises, bringing an experience that seeks to transport the player, banking on nostalgia above all else. However, its tactics don't go down so well here in the West when compared to Japan, so unless you want to use this game as a method of learning the language and culture, it might not go down well with the general public. Personally, I loved its constant references to Japanese culture, but for me, they are both a blessing and a curse. Personally, I thought the game was pretty cool at times, but I confess that Natsu-Mon is one of those games that doesn't innovate much in its gameplay, especially when compared to other games in its category.

Radiant Tale -Fanfare- can be described in a single sentence: A game that promised a lot in theory, but in practice, it ended being a fandisk that practically suffers in its executions. There's barely any content compared to the amount it promised, and the translation suffers from inconsistent terminologies that also plagued the original.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is undoubtedly the definitive way to appreciate a true gem from the Nintendo GameCube. With several subtle changes that are very welcome, it's one of the most loyal remakes to the original I've ever seen, and at the same time a remake that fixes the many problems that affected the original.

After loving the original Cupid Parasite, I had high expectations for the Cupid Parasite fandisc: Sweet and Spicy Darling. And yes: the developers at Idea Factory have managed to deliver a very entertaining experience, full of funny moments and at the same time, fun to read.

I had high hope for Eiyuden Chronicle ever since its Kickstarter in 2020. And yes, while the game genuinely feels like a love letter to both JRPG fans, and especially fans of the Suikoden franchise, it was not designed for the Nintendo Switch, and it shows. The various performance drops and long loading screens keep it from being the perfect experience, leaving me probably recommending that you do not get it on the Nintendo Switch.

I absolutely loved Tengoku Struggle -Strayside-. While the story suffers from a few translation typos and an inconsistent rhythm at times, it's an otome game that can offer you a long read, but one that also manages to be comical, as you watch Rin's relationship with the prisoners deepen.

Sympathy Kiss is a great otome game with its blend of romance and relatable experiences, with its office setting appealing especially to a more mature audience. While the faceless protagonist and rather compromised approach at some of the narrative beats are definitely its biggest gripes, it still manages to be a short and sweet story that both fans and newcomers to the genre can appreciate.
