Alana Hagues's Reviews
A solid continuation of the series, but a bit too same-y for some.
With a little bit more polish, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT could be great, but as it is now it's a huge disappointment.
A truly unique adventure, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is not that far from sweeter waters.
The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 is one witch's brew you definitely don't want to drink.
A beautiful, chaotic adventure, Dragon's Crown Pro is worth a go if you've never played the original.
The very definition of mediocre, Shining Resonance Refrain fails to stand out from the crowd in another packed year of RPGs.
Style without substance, State of Mind never pushes the boundaries of its genre stereotypes.
CrossCode is one of the most endearing and fun action RPGs I've ever played, though it's not without its frustrations.
If you're looking forward to Shenmue III, this is the perfect time to brush up on the series.
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.
Minor blemishes aside, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition lives up to its namesake and is still among the best Tales of games ever.
There are better Grimm-esque fairy tales out there.
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.
VA-11 HALL-A is an exciting experiment that I hope can be built upon further with the sequel.
Arcade Spirits's warm heart can be felt under its clumsy exterior.
Tardy's uncomfortable sci-fi atmosphere and beautiful pixel visuals are the biggest successes for this otherwise by-the-numbers adventure game.
This is the Mana series as it should always be remembered.
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.
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.
The best way to play Final Fantasy VIII, and there's nothing a patch or two can't fix.
