The game itself might take place on a relatively small scale, but the ambition of the game is much bigger.
Battles do get a little on the long side sometimes though, which makes it harder to binge hours on at a time, but if you play this with a couple of friends I imagine you can have an incredibly fun time.
Mary Skelter: Nightmares is one of the very best dungeon crawlers I played to date. From its well-crafted story, interesting characters and captivating atmosphere, to its unique gameplay which doesn't become stale even after hours of dungeon crawling, there is so much to like about the game. Compile Heart has truly made it a long way since MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death and we are excited to see what they have next in store.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is no way a perfect horror game, quite frankly far from it, but what it has going for it is a nostalgic charm and some really cool ideas that many developers should take a note of. For serious enthusiasts, it will be a real treat as it changes up a lot of the typical horror formula.
Everything I hoped for and more, not only has it quickly taken its place as one of my favourite games released this year, but Collar x Malice has earned a spot as one of my favourite visual novels overall. It's something very special, and it's going to be one tough act to follow.
If you haven't played it before then this is the best version to pick up.
While Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA doesn't reinvent the wheel, it most certainly improves absolutely everything it can over its already excellent predecessors. It hits the nail on the head with just about everything it does, from the stellar combat to the almost Metroidvania world structure to the actual feeling of exploring a mysterious island inhabited by feral creatures. This is one of the few rare cases where the game's narrative is closely tied to its gameplay, making for something truly refreshing. If you have never played a Ys game before this is the perfect place to start, while longtime fans are sure to be more than thrilled with this latest adventure.
It's rare a game touches me in the way that Highway Blossoms has.
Fans won't want to miss it.
All around, The Shadows of Pygmalion is an excellent visual novel. Its strong production values and unique eerie story makes this a game that will keep you hooked as you slowly unravel the mystery. The interesting characters slowly grow on you making for a captivating drama, while the action-packed scenes serve as a perfect break of pace.
The way Kiwami weaves itself into a symbiotic relationship with 0 enhances the pair as a sequential experience.
Moero Chronicle is an addictive game which revels in its sexual appeal, and its core gameplay mechanics are solid. It's a game that clearly won't be to everyone's liking but there's a lot of fun to be had.
Every new cog in Sonic Mania looks right at home next to the old ones.
Is Bullet Soul Infinite Burst worth it over the vanilla version of the game that was released back in April? I say yes especially for the affordable asking price and given that Burst Mode is really fun to play with and considering the additional overhaul of Normal and Caravan modes. Newcomers to the series are also welcome to grab their copy as this is basically the definitive version of the game.
Having the upcoming sequel hanging over it doesn't do Mask of Deception any favours.
Episode Prompto is a mess of ideas that almost hit home.
Fallen Legion is a blast to play and its combat system falls among the best out there.
The definitive way to play Final Fantasy XII.
An enjoyable, engrossing adventure in two of my favourite worlds.
Ultra Despair Girls becomes a more enjoyable and more manageable experience on PS4.
