Years after the release of the previous iteration of the Monsters genre, The Dark Prince had the opportunity to rejuvenate the historic playful formula of the spin-off and ferry it to still unexplored lands. Despite the predictions, however, the development team seems to have almost completely given up on the idea of renewing the mechanics of recruiting monsters and especially the combat system of the product, which appears tired and dated.

Excessively short and linear to be considered the "post-game" absent at the launch of Final Fantasy XVI, Echoes of the Fallen delves into the fascinating mythology of Valisthea and explores a topic that had been repeatedly hinted at in the main game.

Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS could and should have been the culmination of the critically acclaimed CyberConnect2 series, as well as the very first Naruto tie-in to retrace his epic from top to bottom.

Just like his Phantom Thieves, ATLUS isn't missing a beat, and against all odds, Persona 5 Tactica has proven to be a solid and enjoyable tactician.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a must-buy for anyone who loved tri-Ace's masterpiece, as well as an unmissable opportunity for any newbies to discover one of the best action RPGs of the 90s.

Landed on our markets three years later than the land of the Rising Sun, from a technical point of view The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a cross-gen title that is not exactly avant-garde.

Compared to the PlayStation 4 version that landed in stores only two years ago, the port does not have any significant additions and both the technical and graphic sectors are almost unchanged. If you already own the previous edition, which these days is offered at much more reasonable prices, there is no valid reason why you should prefer the very lazy port proposed by NIS America.

Despite inheriting some of the issues that the Gameverse has been dragging around since its inception, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is hands down the best SAO tie-in to date.

Following the decadent drift of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, the restoration of BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER didn't quite convince us.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless may not be the revolutionary chapter we were promised, but overall we are more than satisfied with the work done by the guys at Nippon Ichi Software, who after the several missteps made with the previous episode rolled up their sleeves to ensure that the series could get back on the right track.

7 / 10.0 - Eternights
Oct 1, 2023

The first work of a small independent studio, Eternights is exactly what we expected: a title that is anything but ambitious and limited more or less in every respect, which overall is still delightful, witty and intriguing.

Although it is in effect an iteration of the franchise of The Legend of Heroes, which is finally receiving the deserved attention also in the West, both from a playful and narrative point of view The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is closer to the typical formula of Ys than to that of the brand of which it is part.

The highlight of the experience, which unfortunately is penalized by the same technical problems already encountered in the base game, is therefore represented by the introduction of a new Pokédex to complete, which as usual will push you to scour every corner of the albeit small region of Nordivia.

Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten is a partially successful experiment, as Aquaplus' inexperience in the JRPG and the tight budget have influenced almost all aspects of the product, starting with the obsolete graphics sector and a combat system not entirely in focus.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an excellent starting point for the series, which after so many chapters not really successful had been missing for an entire decade from the scene.

Despite the involvement of exceptional artists, the star of Trinity Trigger does not shine as brightly as one would expect.

8.8 / 10.0 - Final Fantasy XVI
Jun 21, 2023

Final Fantasy XVI is an excellent continuation point for the Square Enix saga, which, after several missteps, seems to have found the right balance between the tradition of the franchise and a new unabashedly more mature ethic.
