It's not even the best JRPG we've had this year, but Shining Resonance: Refrain is nonetheless competent and fun enough on its merits to earn a look from fans of the genre.
Even in spite of its issues, Cross Tag Battle is an easy recommendation for even casual fans of fighting games, or of any of the franchises represented within it.
Nearly perfect, and one of the greatest games ever made, now you can prepare to die on a modern system. Missed opportunities and all, I have to argue that in the end, that's more than enough.
Series fans will find a lot to enjoy with these Collections, even though the games have aged worse than they may remember. Newcomers, on the other hand, may be left wondering what the big deal was with these games to begin with.

The overhauls and the new content, make this, easily, the definitive version of an already pretty good, if overlooked, game. The 3DS is being sunset, and will eventually be retired, but is Strange Journey Redux is to be one of its last major releases, at least it got to go out on a high.
For good and for bad, this is the same Dragon's Crown you fell in love with (or not) all those years ago- adjust your expectations accordingly, and you'll know if this is for you.
If you have ever had even a passing interest in Pokemon's world, you owe it to yourself to play through Detective Pikachu.
If you have kids, Star Allies is as obvious a recommendation as they come- they will love to play it, either solo, or with you, and it will lead to some great times and memories for everybody. On the other hand, seasoned gamers and long time Kirby fans won't find much that is substantial here.
Given how many incredible JRPGs the PS4 already has, this wouldn't even be near the top of my recommendations for the genre on the platform- but if you're looking for a nice, sweet game to relax with, you could do far worse than Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings.
Burnout Paradise is one of the greatest racing games ever made, and time has done little to dull its beauty.
Debates about whether or not Yakuza 6 is the best game in the franchise will probably rage on for a long time to come- but if nothing else, The Song of Life represents a franchise, a developer, and most of all, a character, at the peak of their talents.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth will test your patience at times, but it serves as a good conclusion to Mask of Deception's story.
Representing two of the greatest action games ever made, Bayonetta 1 & 2 on the Switch is the most obvious and effortless recommendation for a purchase there ever was.
The passage of time has done nothing to diminish the beauty of this fantastic RPG.
Households with younger kids and 3DS systems will definitely like what Nintendo did with Kirby Battle Royale but for everyone else there are better options out there.
Even beyond its merits as a faithful video game recreation of the combat sport, it's just a darn good video game that is hugely satisfying in its own right- and that, I think, is EA Sports UFC 3's greatest achievement.
If you liked Breath of the Wild, The Champion's Ballad is an easy purchase- it is more Breath of the Wild, at its very best.
The staleness has begun to set in by now, but Layton's Mystery Journey is still a charming, sweet game with some great puzzles that engaged series fans and newcomers alike will fall in love with.
Fire Emblem Warriors is good enough to get the job done- but only just.
