Scott Adams's Reviews
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the series returning to a war simulator that adds a lot of tension with pushing your army closer to the enemy as a focus. The morale system comes back, but you are no longer able to play as any character you want.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is still a solid game to play today and the remaster makes it a much more accessible experience.
Fairy Tail 2 was a fun and addicting time with great animations. It still suffers from choices made during the first game, but it is still a good time for Fairy Tail fans.
Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is a pure roguelike experience. It also is a very addicting roguelike experience.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard stands on the shoulders of Titans with the previous Dragon Age series and even though the beginning feels a bit clumsy, the game itself delivers in spades.
Find Love or Die Trying is a short but fun game. The choices don't feel very meaningful but the characters are great.
Touhou Spell Carnival does a decent job blending RPG mechanics into the bullet-hell formula of Touhou Project. It can get overwhelming with everything on screen and having to protect five characters.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the best way to play Dragon Quest III. It looks beautiful, sounds amazing, and is an extremely satisfying game to complete.
Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a beauty of a game. It has a lot of cozy elements but also very basic ones.
Slitterhead is a fun and satisfying horror combat game. It has a lot of variety in designs with plot twists that will keep you guessing after each chapter.
Farmagia is a unique cross between a farming simulator and monster battling. The art and world are fun to be in and explore, though I wish you could explore it more and less of the mazes.
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a pretty fun and entertaining multiplayer game for fans of the series. Sadly the appeal doesn’t reach farther than that.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven shows the SaGa series at its best. It may be a remake but it is one with a lot of love for the series.
Ys X: Nordics showcases the impressive capabilities of the new engine developed by Nihon Falcom. Adol controls exceptionally well, and Karja adds depth to the roster of characters he encounters. Although the game starts off slowly, once you acquire all the necessary tools, it plays like a dream.
8-Bit Adventures 2 is a fantastic adventure JRPG featuring a fun story and plenty of content to keep you engaged. It captures the whimsy of older generations of games while presenting it with a modern 8-bit aesthetic.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero evolves the Budokai Tenkaichi series into the modern era of gaming: Faster-paced fights, and more dynamic than it has ever felt before.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon has a lot of deep and engaging mechanics you can customize a variety of ways. You can be turned off by the static map or blocking but the story is pretty rich.
Reynatis is a very fun action RPG that ticks a lot of boxes for me with its challenge and personality. The character models in gameplay do lack polish but the designs are gorgeous.
Keylocker is a phenomenal game that has a high-risk high-reward playstyle. It can have some frustrating mechanics at times but the story, characters, and the writing are well worth the playthrough.
Fairy Tail: Beach Volleyball Havoc is a simple and easy-to-play game that is a load of fun.
