Mitch Jay's Reviews
Won't entice those who've already dismissed the series.
Demon Gaze II ultimately wants you to relax and have fun.
It really isn't all that bad, but there's much better to play and a great JRPG is never too far away.
It's repetitive and will give you a thumb ache, but it's brief and a blast to play. It doesn't call me back to revisit it like Golden Axe and Streets of Rage have done in the past, but it's a great little title for Switch – and the other platforms it's on.
A short, entertaining adventure that'll leave you satisfied.
Fans should pick this one up, and those looking for something a little different in the fighting scene might be pleasantly surprised by Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's mechanics.
It's fun, but there's little depth to the gameplay and story, and it relies too heavily on making jokes.
It's impossible to shake off the feeling that this game was solely phoned in to capitalise on the anime and manga's success.
Like the season itself, Memento of Spring is a gentle, breezy read.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory is just as good as its predecessor.
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is proof that the Sword Art Online games get better with each installment.
The 3DS may be seeing less games nowadays, but Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology shows that the system isn't running out of quality games any time soon.
Arguably the best anime-inspired game on the market.
Revenant Kingdom is an instant classic.
The smooth frame rate doesn't get in the way of the grandeur of your greatest combos.
.hack//G.U. Last Recode is worth your time, especially as you get four games for the price of one with this collection, and each title is a strong effort. It'll keep you occupied, especially during a period where there aren't many new JRPGs out. For everyone's sake though, we can just refer to this collection as Last Recode rather than .hack//G.U. Last Recode, right?
If you're an Atelier fan then of course you should buy this.
Great soundtrack, less than stellar gameplay.
You do get to whip your mighty calculator out when bribing an enemy or object though, and the concept is so fun that it's a shame that it doesn't stand out as a mechanic after a couple of hours.
A solid port that'll impress any Naruto fan.
