It's hard to recommend Scarlet Nexus. Despite being a great RPG, with great action and solid mechanics, it's story doesn't do a very good job to keep ups interested. Still, it lays out a great setup for a strong and better sequel.

Samurai Warriors 5 is a great anti-stress game. But repetition will always be the problem in this genre and Samurai Warriors 5 can't avoid this Achilles' heel even with a deep combat system and several customization options.

This old school mascot is back trying to reboot itself in a game too safe for its own good and with technical problems that will infuriate even the most relaxed players.

No Recommendation / Blank - Bright Memory: Infinite
Jul 22, 2022

While it's short, it ain't very sweet. Apart from the visuals, Bright Memory: Infinite lacks variety and still manages to show some technical problems. Ending up being both impressive and disappointing.
