The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak proves that the series still has stories to tell and plenty of creative juice left. The enhancements to the combat system, new cast and setting spice things up to add another great entry in the 20 year old franchise.
Eiyuden Chronicle had potential. Unfortunately, the execution does not follow up to the hype.
Unicorn Overlord is an exceptional title. VanillaWare once again proves they are a top class studio with a refined SRPG. The presentation, music and gameplay will have you hooked.
GhostRunner II is a fun game at the end of the day. Story is thin and It did make me curse out loud, but the game play when it flows and gets to take advantage of what it offers allows me to forgive that.
Sea of Stars does almost everything perfectly. I had some complaints with the story as whole, but I couldn't be happier with everything else it has to offer. I cannot recommend this game highly enough.
Trails into Reverie isn’t perfect, but it’s still an excellent closing to the Erebonia Arc of the series.
The quality of life improvements are awesome and the combat is still a lot of fun.The experience is not flawless, but thanks to a recent patch, Jedi: Survivor runs much closer to perfect.
Once More is a gorgeous game with a strong story and a lot of depth, it just drops you into the deep end quickly.
Trails from Azure adds a few improvements from Zero, but it's consistency is what's most important. A griping story with great characters and a fun combat system makes Azure a game that shouldn't be missed.
While Grim Guardians Demon purge has a few issues, it does scratch that itch for a Castlevania style experience. The game play is fun, the artwork is solid and it doesn't take it self too seriously.
Ys VII: Lacrimosa of Dana was an already excellent game at it's core. With minor tweaks, its enough to experience the magic again.
Tunic has a few things that are just a bit to vague or cryptic and a couple of other small gripes. Despite that, Tunic is a great game and absolutely worth your time!
While some elements of this entry are a bit dated, there is still a great story and a meaty amount of story to enjoy. If you can't access the original trilogy, this is an excellent way to start your immersion in the series.
Anno: Mutationem is a fun game with a few flaws. The fantastic presentation, enjoyable combat and interesting but off paced adventure is worth your time.
Shadow Warrior 3 is a bit of a mess. It has good points, with its humor and cool weapons. Yet it also feels like something that has been done better in other games. Still fun for its runtime though.
Very well made, well thought out JRPG. While there are a couple of small flaws and linear character upgrades, the overall experience is well crafted and the story and character dynamics are so much fun.
The unique art style, excellent lighting, and mechanical world design are all great.
While this remastered collection has a couple of flaws, the games as a group are excellent. If you haven't given Ninja Gaiden a chance before and love a good challenge these games are for you. You are getting three games for the price of one!
While the majority of the formula isn't shaken up, the city of Balduq and its citizens have many sides to it. With an interesting story and a well laid out large city to explore Ys IX Monstrum Nox is another great adventure.
Trails of Cold Steel IV doesn't make radical updates to the series' formula. The presentation stylings are all here for better or worse. The finale to this long-running story is easily worth your time.
