Ultra Despair Girls may not be as great as the first two Danganronpa titles, but it's still a worthwhile experience for fans of the multimedia franchise. There is plenty to look forward to in this entry, especially since Another Episode takes a wider look at the world than its predecessors. Getting through some of the shooting bits may be a little rough, but overall Another Episode is a game worth playing through.
While it boasts a deep job and skill system, God Wars falls short of being an easily recommended Strategy RPG
Despite its interesting premise, Dark Rose Valkyrie is hard to recommend.
Cosmic Star Heroine is a fun space adventure and throwback to the 16 Bit era of JRPGs while also bringing enough unique ideas to stand all on its own.
ClaDun Returns might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it will definitely fill a void for players who want a throwback to something from the retro days that displays strong fundamentals towards its dungeon crawling roots. The game is loaded with content as there are tons of stages, and its compact brevity is ideal for portable playthroughs. Unfortunately, this same feature is also holding the game back, making it an extremely repetitively and somewhat flawed experience.
Birthdays is a fantastic idea on paper, but suffers from some very poor execution that hinders the overall experience.
The gameplay may be lacking, but the amount of depth that exists plus the fantastic story makes this an entertaining adventure.
Massive enhancements to gameplay make this a wonderful action RPG to play, but its disappointing story holds it back from greatness.
Arkane offers a strong reboot to the lapsed IP that is both mechanically and narratively refreshing.
Embracing a different take on Fire Emblem, Shadows of Valentia changes things up a bit to provide a weird but fresh experience for the franchise.
It's the definitive version of one of the best Disgaea games that can now be played on the fly. A win-win Switchuation.
Another solid entry into the dungeon crawler genre, but one that doesn't stand out from the rest.
A short hack n' slash that's disappointingly average at best despite glimpses of a better game underneath it.
Offering little excitement and interest, The Caligula Effect is easily skippable.
An amazing entry in the Trails series that makes fantastic strides to the series in unconventional ways.
Stylish, fun, and utterly relentless in its vision, Persona 5 delivers one of the best Japanese RPG experiences in years.
This experimental final look into the world of Dark Souls is fascinating, but also comes with a few critical missteps.
It's the console monster hunting game you've been wanting, but with a far bigger emphasis on story and exploration.
All-in-all, Operation Abyss' PC port is nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be. It's a solid an functional port that gets the job done with a couple odd quirks.
A worthy entry into the Mass Effect series on the basis of lore, story, and characters. However, technical failings hold it back.
