Alana Hagues's Reviews
Essential and powerful, but perhaps seek out the mobile version first.
You better bee-lieve how good this is.
An interesting concept that needs a little bit more work to make a compelling game.
A refreshing re-imagining of the beginning of Final Fantasy VII, Remake is at times wonderful but at others audacious, and I'm here for the ride.
A welcome addition to the fighting game genre that makes the wait for Relink that little bit easier.
Aside from its diversity and occasional cute character moments, Half Past Fate is largely forgettable.
At times brutally difficult, and others frustratingly random, SaGa Scarlet Grace: Ambitions takes some big risks to ensure it's highly satisfying and incredibly rewarding to play through.
Indivisible takes three different genres and melds them together expertly to create something wholly unique.
The best way to play Final Fantasy VIII, and there's nothing a patch or two can't fix.
I'm frustrated because I wanted to like Oninaki a lot more than I do. It's absolutely not a bad game; rather, it's yet another "serviceable" outing from Tokyo RPG Factory, who continue to try their hardest.
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.
For something that you can fit into a long lunch break, Florence is a beautiful and memorable story that has stuck with me ever since I finished it. I laughed and cried along with Florence as she made her way through life, and it helped me get through some particularly tough times. The developers at Mountains have done a phenomenal job at elevating an everyday story to a beautiful, whimsical and sometimes sad adventure, and they’ve reminded me that if things don’t work out, there’s always something else to look forward to.
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.
