It will honestly give you a good laugh, and I know we can all use one of those these days!
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise leans heavily upon what has come before. Borrowing the best elements of the Yakuza franchise – tight and elaborate fighting controls, quirky characterizations and dialogue, eccentric sub-stories, and compelling mini-games – this post-apocalyptic brawler beats up the competition to become the best video game adaptation of the source material so far
This is an intimate tale of a broken family, and focusing on that story benefits the franchise as a whole greatly.
While not perfect, Pathfinder: Kingmaker does a great job of providing a complex and true to its origin isometric RPG. Newer players to the genre should definitely be wary though as it is so intricate a system with a limited tutorial.
If I could quit my job and spend the next few years playing Divinity: Original Sin II Definitive Edition I would. It is addictive in every aspect. From the customization of your team, to the impressive combat, to the thousands of outcomes in the story, it never gets old.
Sharp HD visuals highlight an incredible tactical RPG. Anyone willing to put in the time should, because Disgaea 1 Complete remains best in class, even 15 years later.
I personally appreciate that The Gardens Between never came close to overstaying its welcome. Minimalist images between the islands help the player piece together the story, and the game ends with a subtle-yet-powerful scene that made me think about my childhood and the time I spent with friends in the moment.
Too many modern shmups are bullet hell shooters, so it’s refreshing to play one that doesn’t totally flood the screen with bullets at every moment. With decently fun gameplay, easy Achievements/Trophies, and a low price, FullBlast offers just enough bang for your buck.
A strong cast of mostly likeable characters reinforce incredibly deep tactical gameplay, and the death system adds a weight of importance in every move.
Dontnod has crafted an intriguing tale of two brothers that never sticks in one setting for too long, and I’m really looking forward to seeing this relationship between two brothers when Life is Strange 2 continues.
I would definitely pick up Slime Rancher for a fun time. For those who want a little bit more out of their game, I would say you could try it but the controls and the lack of direct story could be infuriating to some.
