With 6 new character routes, there's certainly still a draw for players of previous titles.
For every novel aspect the game brings to the table it fumbles in delivering a meaningful and engaging experience. It is interesting to experiment around with the massive number of species and create a beautiful world but it all becomes repetitive rather quickly. Considering that the developers already planned out a sequel we can only hope they will be able iron out its issues and add everything they initially wanted.
Undeniably one of the best Musou games.
Being an interesting historical item sadly doesn't make Fatal Fury all that fun these days.
A nuanced masterpiece.
One of the most refreshing and taxing puzzlers yet.
Stands alongside the best games available on PS4.
A stripped back game of duelling, clashing, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
You can respect how well it fits in with the series' overall lore.
Alpha Mission II has some nice ideas, and the occasional spectacular set-pieces that were pretty forward thinking. The armour system feels fun to play around with, and provides a lot of different options to try out over multiple playthroughs, but without more of its own identity there isn’t all that much reason to playthrough it more than once on single or co-op play.
The Nonary Games brings together two excellent games which I highly recommend.
The loose design of the system embraces the loose nature of actual rap and hip hop.
Considering its themes and atmosphere as well as frustrating gameplay, A Rose in the Twilight might not be for everyone, but there is some enjoyment to be found for the puzzle enthusiasts that enjoy more punishing gameplay and the game's rather slow mechanics. Everyone else might find more enjoyment in titles like Yomawari or The Firefly Diary we covered previously.
Toukiden 2 is amongst the best in the monster-slaying genre.
Score Attack hammers home how straightforward and bland the dungeon design is.
Atelier Firis' focus on more open-world elements is refreshing.
JRPGs will never be the same again.
Breath of the Wild is true exploration.
Himawari is a sweet tale which blends slapstick humor with more serious themes. The first chapter does drag on for far longer than it's welcome and some jokes miss the mark entirely. However, the game makes up for this in its later chapters. If you are the type of person that loves to gaze into space in deep thought of all the possibilities it might offer, Himawari may be the shooting star you have been waiting for.
Touhou Genso Wanderer is fairly accessible to newcomers. And, while the game falls among the shorter in the genre, the added bonus content after you beat the game for the first time is a nice addition. Touhou and dungeon crawler fans alike would enjoy this title, but at full price it might not be for everyone.
