Familiar Pac-Man gameplay with an added twist, offering near endless fun.

This is the pinnacle of the franchise in almost every way and a worthy successor to Shin Megami Tensei with fantastic combat, exploration, and story.

PES has refined year on year in this generation, continuing to improve, but PES 2017 is the crowning moment.

Accessible and incredibly deep, if you’re looking for a time-sink you won’t get much better than Dragon Quest VII.

A slick, compelling adventure only let down by a glut of technical issues that really should have been polished out.
