Scott Adams's Reviews
Neverness to Everness was a gacha game that took a lot of my time. It has a little of everything in this game. Supernatural fights, car stealing, fishing, bank heists, and everything in between. Since it is a combination of a lot of elements from other games, it doesn’t do as much as those specific games can. It is still a fun time!
Overall, I enjoyed my time with Motorslice. It does a great job of blending its two main elements of parkour and chainsaws, although the use of both at the same time is a bit janky. The chainsaw is fun to use as a weapon against the construction-type enemies and especially in the boss fights. The parkour makes for an exciting romp through the varied and creative obstacle courses. The bits of personality on display from P and Orbie provide some really sweet moments that help give you a break from the action. Motorslice is a delightful second game from Regular Studio that brings with it the potential for more adventures with P down the line.
Magical Princess is a game that stole a lot of my time because of how addicted I was to the game loop and the mystery it provided. This is a fantastic game that evolves the very genre of daughter raising itself. I loved the characters, the bonds you could create, and even the system of looping itself. If you are looking for why so many people were captivated by Princess Maker back in the DOS days of old, then this is the game to experience that spark all over again, or for the first time if you haven’t experienced it already.
Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter is a video game drenched with passion and love towards the titles that inspired it.
Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is still the same game from the PlayStation Vita. It is still a solid title to play with a strong core gameplay loop. It still has some of the problems of being made for that hardware, like its graphics and party AI.
It is also a great game just to play through. With a little over 20 hours of game time, it’s a solid experience with nothing feeling like it drags. Also, make sure to stay til the end of the credits. That end credits song is probably one of the best ways to get me to stay for your credits.
Ariana and the Elder Codex is a fantastic metroidvania game that implements RPG mechanics and action combat that feels satisfying.
Etrange Overlord is a fun experience that will have you laughing and smiling. The gameplay can be a bit basic, but it still has its moments of fun.

High On Life 2 is a better-executed version of the first game. The skateboard does add some extra flavor to the gameplay, but it ultimately still is very similar to the core concept of the first game.
WiZmans World Re;Try is a solid time. I am glad it is finally out of Japan for the first time. There is a lot of customization for your characters, and a lot of depth, especially given that there are only four main elements to worry about. If you are fine without having voice acting and the longer dungeon designs, then this is definitely a recommended title.
Calamity Angels: Special Delivery is a fun, bite-sized experience. It may make some not too happy about the number of things reliant on your luck and mood, but it was enjoyable.
Ys X: Proud Nordics is built on the solid bones of Ys X: Nordics. It, however, doesn’t add a lot of extra substance to warrant a new playthrough. It is the ultimate version of the game and the new recommended Ys to play for newcomers.
MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is the more improved version of the My Hero’s Justice games. Unfortunately, it doesn’t justify getting this game if you are new to the series. A lot of the narrative is gutted, and the controls can feel janky outside combat.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a Dragon Quest that is not only full of whimsy but also has a lot of heart. It fixes a lot of the issues of the original game and adds more substance to love from this world.
Arknights: Endfield is a fantastic free-to-play game. It is still beholden to some of the hangups of a gacha game, with progress gates and luck of the draw dictating your main team.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins Visions of Four Heroes is a solid expansion to the great game that was Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights is a great entry point to the genre of Otome. It includes a simple premise and a basic dynamic that works well in the game's favor.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is the pinnacle of Trails storytelling alongside the best evolution of the hybrid action turn-based combat.
Neon Inferno is a blast. It has a lot of enemies you can shoot at, and with good visual design, you can understand how to react to everything on screen.
