Furyu's first new gem since The Caligula Effect.
A strong entry in the long-running series and a fascinating dive into the Cold War.
While the overall quality is outstanding on both a gameplay and graphical level, DICE has unfortunately drastically cut back the amount of content on offer in this latest release, and the loss of both a single player campaign and additional multiplayer game modes is certainly felt.
Compared to Persona 5, Atlus delivers equally great characters, solid storytelling, mostly attractive design, and compelling battle and progression systems here, but the content is clearly lighter, the world much less elaborate, and the pacing a bit awkward.
Trails into Reverie is the all-star game of the series fans have been waiting for, but struggles to advance beyond that.
Despite a weak solo mode and an excessive DLC storefront, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an excellent outsider in the fighting genre this year.
Short, inconclusive, but monstrously intense, Transference represents the next step forward for narrative games.
With a lot of great content, much of it new, including added characters and a high volume of additional story elements, The Caligula Effect Overdose is a remarkable example of a valuable remake.
An intense and memorable experience.
NG fully captures what made Experience so well-regarded in the horror adventure genre following Death Mark's success.
With its delightful novelties and visual improvements, Atelier Ryza would have been a must-have if only Gust had put more effort into its characters, story, and building a more interesting world in general.
Behind the peculiar name, Love Live! School Idol Festival - After School Activity - Wai Wai Home Meeting!! is actually a fairly orthodox rhythm game in which you play as the various idols from the series.
Atelier old timers can once again feel at home, even if some important aspects are still lacking.
Really enjoyable in some respects, but very disappointing in others, Trails of Cold Steel IV is overly long considering the story it wishes to tell.
Compelling world-building and a great amount of freedom make Atelier Ryza 3 worth experiencing.
While Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris was bitter, Sword Art Online Last Recollection turns out to be rather sweet.
Easier, awkward at times, and much less surprising than prior entries, this sequel is still an effective horror game, but not the hardened experience that I have come to expect from the series.
A good pick up for people fond of Japanese animation, even if it lacks a compelling narrative.
The game system in Atelier Lydie & Suelle is solid, combat is great and the soundtrack is nice, but we could have expected more from a title marking the 20th anniversary of the series.
Extra content and a few attractive features in Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal might make it worthwhile if you're a long-time fan of the series. For newer addicts who never played Senran Kagura on Nintendo's handheld, this title is perfect to complete your knowledge of the series.
