When more exciting retro-styled throwbacks like Project Octopath Traveler are on the horizon, Tokyo RPG Factory really need to take a look at what they're going to do with their next game to make it stand out from the crowd.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory is just as good as its predecessor.
We'd rather Omega Force just stuck to what they're great at: making excellent hack and slash games. And Dynasty Warriors 9 isn't one of those.
Like the season itself, Memento of Spring is a gentle, breezy read.
This enhanced version brings enough additions to the table to justify a purchase even if you had bought the original. Longtime fighting game fans will have a lot to look forward to, with its excellent combat and numerous modes, while newcomers will be greeted with a far more accessible experience thanks to its rich training modes and meatier story. It's definitely not for everyone with its subpar visuals for this day and age, but scratch the surface just a bit and you will find a fighting game unlike any other.
It's impossible to shake off the feeling that this game was solely phoned in to capitalise on the anime and manga's success.
It's fun, but there's little depth to the gameplay and story, and it relies too heavily on making jokes.
Fans should pick this one up, and those looking for something a little different in the fighting scene might be pleasantly surprised by Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's mechanics.
A short, entertaining adventure that'll leave you satisfied.
It's the best Dragon Ball fighting game, one of the best looking fighting games in general, and a rare welcome entry point for newcomers to understand what competitive fighting games are all about.
Episode Ignis is far from a perfect dish, but with plenty of seasoning in the pot, it's possibly the tastiest of the bunch, and adds some much needed flavour to the main game.
It's repetitive and will give you a thumb ache, but it's brief and a blast to play. It doesn't call me back to revisit it like Golden Axe and Streets of Rage have done in the past, but it's a great little title for Switch – and the other platforms it's on.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sets a tremendously high bar for the genre.
It really isn't all that bad, but there's much better to play and a great JRPG is never too far away.
Even though Tokyo Xanadu borrows heavily from the Persona series, it still has enough personality in it to be wholeheartedly entertaining. While not as deep and brooding as the evident source material, Tokyo Xanadu still managed to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience. The enormous cast of characters with rich side stories made the world feel bustling with life, while the real-time twitch battles meant combat had more staying power than if it went the typical turn-based approach. Tokyo Xanadu might not be the most innovative title out there, but it manages to blend its ideas well enough that every JRPG fan should at least give it a try.
Sonic Forces is devoid of hope.
Demon Gaze II ultimately wants you to relax and have fun.
A solid, all-around enjoyable game that is simply really, really good fun.
Won't entice those who've already dismissed the series.
There's something magical and quaint about Nights of Azure 2‘s world.
