This remake of Etrian Odyssey II is more of the same, but that's not a bad thing.
It lacks polish, but the freedom found in this samurai adventure may be worth a look.
Technical issues aside, this is still a fantastic game worth your time.
[M]any of the same problems from the previous entries remain. Monster designs are recycled with a few additions. Combat can get somewhat repetitive and maps are reused constantly in which some of them reverse the direction that you approach it.
Farming can be a chore, but not always.
While the original PC release of Napishtim had been brought to Japan nearly a decade ago, fans in the West had to deal with either the PlayStation 2 or PSP versions of the game. Thanks to XSEED's efforts in flushing out their Steam library, a much wider audience of gamers are now able to try out the sixth entry into the series for themselves.
The combat and music are the highlights here, even if the game doesn't capitalize on the hardware.
A solid follow up for the strategy RPG spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series
This excellent game is far more than a simple port.
While elements such as the writing and level design are on point as always when it comes to the developer, there are a few things that newcomers should be aware of coming into this modern interpretation of a beloved period of time for Western RPG fans.
While mechanically sound, too many conveniences make Etrian Mystery Dungeon more mundane than it needs to be
Technical hiccups aren't enough to diminish the value of this sizable package.
You'll still really feel this game, but it's been visually diminished.
While sometimes stale, there's plenty of fun to be had here for strategy game fans.
Bloodborne is a game that will grip you for months due to its tight gameplay mechanics and engrossing world.
These ideas are certainly the products of portable limitations, but in the end they fail to stifle what is in truth a compelling experience.
The most daring entry in the franchise is better than ever
Dear script writers: If your party's reaction to a terrifying building appearing out of nowhere is for all the ladies to dogpile on the main character for fun, you're doing something wrong.
The Neptunia series has never been stronger with this remake of the first entry. [OpenCritic note: Zack Reese separately reviewed the PC (8) and Vita (8) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
Game Freak takes Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire into the third dimension, but the remakes lack the polish to make them truly glimmer.
