Alana Hagues's Reviews
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists is a decent crossover game for the Atelier franchise, linking 20 years of the series together.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 retains the core of the first game and makes many little tweaks that improve things for the best, but it still has the same glaring weakness.
This is the Mana series as it should always be remembered.
Tardy's uncomfortable sci-fi atmosphere and beautiful pixel visuals are the biggest successes for this otherwise by-the-numbers adventure game.
Arcade Spirits's warm heart can be felt under its clumsy exterior.
VA-11 HALL-A is an exciting experiment that I hope can be built upon further with the sequel.
There are better Grimm-esque fairy tales out there.
Minor blemishes aside, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition lives up to its namesake and is still among the best Tales of games ever.
I'll always want the mainline games, and I don't see myself continually coming back to Let's Go like I have done the standard entries, but as a gateway for newer, younger players, I can't think of anything more perfect that Let's Go. I can't wait to see the smiles on kids' faces as they start up their first ever Pokémon adventure.
If you're looking forward to Shenmue III, this is the perfect time to brush up on the series.
CrossCode is one of the most endearing and fun action RPGs I've ever played, though it's not without its frustrations.
Style without substance, State of Mind never pushes the boundaries of its genre stereotypes.
The very definition of mediocre, Shining Resonance Refrain fails to stand out from the crowd in another packed year of RPGs.
A beautiful, chaotic adventure, Dragon's Crown Pro is worth a go if you've never played the original.
The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 is one witch's brew you definitely don't want to drink.
A truly unique adventure, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is not that far from sweeter waters.
With a little bit more polish, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT could be great, but as it is now it's a huge disappointment.
A solid continuation of the series, but a bit too same-y for some.
A welcome rerelease for this 1993 relic, Romancing SaGa 2 is endearing, interesting and difficult for better or worse.
Nights of Azure 2 was the chance to improve on its predecessors potential, but it completely drops the ball.
