Konosuba: Love for These Clothes of Desire! is a zany dress-up visual novel filled with fanservice for Konosuba fans, but plays too many dress-up moments straight which feels contrary to the series that often plays up the humor or has some sort of meta commentary about its raunchy moments.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't horrible, but it's bland and uninteresting and that may be worse. The real insult here is that Rocksteady Games had all the tools to do something great and innovative and just made a by-the-book live-service game instead.
Granblue Fantasy Relink is a game that wears its heart on its sleeve with its sincere narrative and engrossing combat.
While I miss the female protagonist and the dungeon-crawling element may feel a bit dated, Persona 3 Reload is a joy to play and offers everything I could want from it.
There's a wealth of wonderful fighting to be had in Tekken 8, and it's a fantastic place to take your first steps into Tekken.
Lil Guardsman absolutely surprised me with its detail, depth, humor, and heart.
As overstuffed as it is, we didn't want Infinite Wealth to end. It's such a high-effort package with tons of heart, and it's hard not to let that endearing feel sand down some of the game's rough mechanical edges.
The Apollo Justice trilogy comprises of three excellent ports, but the compilation highlights existing issues with the games in a way that make it difficult to forget about.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell delivers a simple and elegant Metroidvania final love letter to fans of the series.
While the puzzles are a bit easy, Another Code: Recollection is a well-executed remake and it's great to see both games worldwide.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered does far more than simply justify its existence on the PS5, it elevates an already near-perfect experience.
Metro Quester is one of the most unique KEMCO RPGs I've played, and it really challenges people to put together a party and survive.
While on the shorter side, CookieRun: The Darkest Night Chapter 1 is a fun VR adventure with a surprising amount of depth.
Koumajou Remilia Ⅱ: Stranger's Requiem is one of the better Touhou fan games and looks great, but it's a very basic Castlevania-like.
Born of Bread is a lighthearted and charming RPG that wears its inspirations on its sleeves and understands what makes the genre fun.
Astlibra Revision is a fun action RPG with an intriguing story that is held down by many tired tropes in its writing.
Disney Dreamlight Valley and A Rift in Time is a fun expansion pass worth the purchase, but suffers from a number of glitches that can hopefully be patched in time for later updates.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising certainly looks like one of the most gorgeous fighting games out there and it plays well, even if the actual content feels a bit bland.
While the Iron's Hot is an interesting take on a blacksmith simulator, but it feels like the game can be a tedious chore sometimes.
House Flipper 2 builds on everything that made the first game so beloved. Some polish from future patches and DLC could go a long way in making the experience even better.
