If you have previously played the original, there are little changes here to warrant returning to Lordran (unless you want to of course). However, the core of the game is still one of the most intriguing, challenging, and beautifully created gaming experiences currently available; so, I wholeheartedly recommend picking it up despite its flaws
An excellent JRPG.
Temper your expectations because this experience isn't quite as magical as it could've been.
Pirate Warriors 3 is further proof that Musou games are a perfect fit for Switch.
Forgotton Anne is a brilliant debut.
A solid port that'll impress any Naruto fan.
You do get to whip your mighty calculator out when bribing an enemy or object though, and the concept is so fun that it's a shame that it doesn't stand out as a mechanic after a couple of hours.
Great soundtrack, less than stellar gameplay.
If you're an Atelier fan then of course you should buy this.
As ridiculous as it can get at times Gal Gun 2 was a pleasant surprise through and through. From its lewd premise to its ecchi scenes Gal Gun 2 knows its target audience extremely well. But even with these aside the game is a well-crafted package, offering fun gameplay which aims and succeeds in breaking from its on-rail shooter roots.
.hack//G.U. Last Recode is worth your time, especially as you get four games for the price of one with this collection, and each title is a strong effort. It'll keep you occupied, especially during a period where there aren't many new JRPGs out. For everyone's sake though, we can just refer to this collection as Last Recode rather than .hack//G.U. Last Recode, right?
There are some genuinely tense moments to be had here with its numerous smart ideas and a rather decent execution. Cooperating with your partner during the hectic tower defense segments make for an experience unlike any other. Aegis Defenders is available on PlayStation 4, Switch and both Windows and Mac OS X on Steam.
The smooth frame rate doesn't get in the way of the grandeur of your greatest combos.
Edo Blossoms feels like the weaker of the two halves, which isn't always the best position for a conclusion to be.
While The 25th Ward is still a great, gripping sci-fi crime story, it's really only going to appeal to big fans of the first game
The more I played The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 the more it was apparent how meticulously crafted its predecessor was. You can still find a few things that made the original so memorable, such as the innovative combat system, charming visuals, and bonkers storyline. But these aside, the rest feels like a stripped-down version. The once detailed levels with well-placed enemies are now just procedurally generated areas, the tense yet intriguing hunger system is now little more than an afterthought. The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 is little more than a shell of its former self which is a shame since the series showed so much potential.
Revenant Kingdom is an instant classic.
Arguably the best anime-inspired game on the market.
Seamless battles and exploration are welcome changes in the series.
The 3DS may be seeing less games nowadays, but Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology shows that the system isn't running out of quality games any time soon.
