Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a classic in its own right.
Battlefield Waltz is an enjoyable fantasy otome visual novel.
The Chapter of Marisa doesn't truly add anything to the overall Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes experience.
Final Fantasy XVI is phenomenal if you enjoy action RPGs, especially if you appreciate well-written stories that build upon themselves, teeming with memorable characters and poignantly emotional moments.
Underneath its pastel visuals, I was pleasantly surprised to find a gripping and emotional story about overcoming hardships and loss populated by a memorable cast. Genso Manège certainly adheres to “don’t judge a book by its cover” due to its hidden narrative depth alongside finely-tuned traditional visual novel elements and a fun optional puzzle mechanic, providing fellow romantasy junkies a new game to adore.
Solid simple action RPG mechanics, good music, likable characters, peak shonen anime storytelling if that’s your thing.
It has heart and plenty of emotion alongside a found family cast with some of the best personal character questlines I’ve experienced in a game. It’s evident that there’s a deep respect for the DA lore and titles that came before, and I love how The Veilguard takes vital points of so many BioWare games and builds upon them.
9 R.I.P. is a wonderful supernatural otome VN for those who don't mind a sprinkling of horror with their romance.
Celestia: Chain of Fate is a sizable and engaging romantic fantasy visual novel.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War is an average mobile RPG adaptation of an enjoyable anime side story, bogged down by a horrible translation.

Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is a fun-albeit-short adaptation for fans of the anime and manga.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is a must-play for JRPG fans.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a content-heavy, heartfelt monster-collecting adventure.
Secrets of Grindea is an excellent homage to old-school action RPGs.
Garden of Seif: Chronicles of an Assassin is a concisely dark romantic fantasy VN with an eye-catching aesthetic.
Sympathy Kiss is an enjoyable slice-of-life otome VN about working adults finding love.
Lil’ Guardsman is an entertainingly hilarious heartfelt adventure.
The Caligula Effect 2 is a standout sequel.
