I am so genuinely happy to see the SaGa series get a well deserved new starting point for new fans, and doubly so for the fact that series vets will love this as well.  If you have ever had a vested interest in the SaGa franchise, there probably won’t be a better time than now, with Romancing SaGa2: Revenge of the Seven.  I am thoroughly impressed and have a new top 3 SaGa game.

4.5 / 5.0 - Gundam Breaker 4
Aug 29, 2024

Gundam Breaker 4 is exactly what I wanted from this franchise after Gundam Breaker 3, and I’m happy to say we can all forget the “New” moniker because we are BACK BABY. Fans of giant robots, fans of customization, and fans of games absolutely bursting at the seams with content can all find something to love here, and I can’t wait to see what this team brings us next.

Samurai Warriors 4 DX was a great choice to bring over, it is a game absolutely bursting at the seams with content. It serves as both a great entry into the Samurai Warriors franchise as much as it is a great introduction to the Musou genre for newbies, with enough things to do that you will be prepped and ready to take down some of the more complex entries in the genre. The addition of good working online co-op is a big plus as well because I think these games are best enjoyed with a friend!

4.5 / 5.0 - Berserk Boy
Apr 3, 2024

All in all, Berserk Boy turned out to be exactly what I had hoped it would be when I saw the previews of early development. It is hot-blooded, high-octane action platforming excellence that the layman will enjoy the run, but enthusiasts of the genre will find a thrilling test of their skills and innovation as you try to keep that combo up and get the highest score possible. A great price point, an awesome developer, and a TON of talent on display make this a must-have for any fans of the genre.

They really did do a great job with this one, creating something fans of the game can fall back in love with, as well as creating what might be the best jumping-off point for new fans of the series. As I said earlier, I had NO intentions of going in as deep with this game as I did before I started writing, but here I am already wanting to go back to do some end/post-game things just because it was so enjoyable. This is a worthy entry into any RPG fans’ collection, and it does the original release great justice.

2.5 / 5.0 - The Ascent
Aug 29, 2021

I bounced so hard off The Ascent that it left a bad taste in my mouth and a wish that it spent another few more months in the oven.

4 / 5.0 - Legend of Mana
Jun 22, 2021

Cleaned up visuals and music are always a plus, but it does little to address some of the biggest issues the game had to begin with, unlike its predecessor.

Saga Frontier Remasters draws a line in the sand, and sets a new standard in what I expect in seeing an old JRPG ported to the modern age.

Give this one a try, it’s a one time purchase and I think you will get your money’s worth, especially if you enjoy shooting and looting.

3.5 / 5.0 - Windbound
Aug 30, 2020

Windbound is a fun experience that often finds you wishing for a little bit more: more responsive combat, a few quality of life features, and the ability to control the wind to name a few.

Rock of Ages 3 is a unique and charming game, made by a team that clearly has a lot of love for their product behind it, and this would probably have to be its most robust and complete entry in the series.
