Mikhail Madnani's Reviews
Stranger of Sword City is a great first-person dungeon crawler for the Vita. Although marred by some annoyances, it is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre.
Gust's first action RPG is a decent attempt let down by inconsistent visuals and various problems with difficulty.
Senran Kagura Estival Versus is an upgrade from Shinovi Versus in almost every way, able to hold its own with its silly but memorable characters, expansive content and solid entertainment value.
It plays like a nice home cooked meal and is fun even though clearly simplified as both an RPG and a farming simulator.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is a great turn based RPG that successfully borrows from the best in the genre to deliver one of the best old school RPGs I've played in recent times.
Megadimension Neptunia VII shows that Compile Heart understands how to use the hardware to make their games feel faster and play better but is again let down by the same flaws the series has had for the last few games.
An interesting fighting game that has a few flaws, but otherwise held my attention enough to keep going back to it for random matches online, or trying out the varied cast of fighters.
Circa Infinity is a great puzzle platformer that has me utterly addicted to it in a way I haven't felt since Super Hexagon.
A masterclass in storytelling with its memorable characters and soundtrack. Undertale is a phenomenal experience overall.
This isn't just the best Hearthstone expansion to date, it's one of the best expansions I've had the pleasure to play for any game.
Poncho is memorable with its lush pixel art and catchy music but also for its frustrating level design relying on a single infuriating mechanic.
Stella Glow does a lot of things well, but it also has annoyances that hold it back from being an easy recommendation on the 3DS to any SRPG fan.
Rodea The Sky Soldier on 3DS has very few good things going for it, overshadowed by atrocious controls and bland visuals. It is designed to be replayed, but I don't ever want to experience it again.
An intriguing puzzle game let down by dull visuals and tiresome design.
The Talos Principle surprised me in almost every way, and it's one of the best puzzle games in recent years.
A great new expansion to Hearthstone that makes the game more fun and adds interesting new mechanics.
A remarkable dungeon crawler, a great starting point into the franchise, and easily one of the best RPGs on the 3DS.
An extraordinary 3DS RPG filled to the brim with quality content.
Incredibly polished, with gorgeous visuals and terrific voice acting, only some difficult late-game puzzles stop Broken Age from being the absolute pinnacle of the genre.
A beautiful marriage of the Mystery Dungeon and Etrian Odyssey franchises resulting in a brilliant and fun game.
