One Piece Odyssey might not establish a new standard in the JRPG genre, but it is still an entertaining experience, especially if you are a fan of the franchise.
Valkyrie Profile Lenneth is one of those obscure but famous JRPG titles that deserved a revival, and while the new game was less than fantastic, its predecessor has been remastered for current platforms with the respect it deserves.
Dragon Quest Treasures is a pleasantly decent take on the conventional Dragon Quest formula, featuring hours of gameplay and a likable cast of characters.
As a remaster, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion is a fan's dream come true. It has highly refined visuals, enhanced gameplay, and some quality-of-life improvements, but it suffers from antiquated gameplay design.
The Callisto Protocol is a perfect example of a game that is well-polished yet suffers from several design faults that highlight its weaknesses. In this case, the melee and dodge system can be a thorn in the game's side, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this otherwise fantastic experience.
If you are a fan of the series, Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered is a worthy release, but for newbies to the JRPG genre, this might be a challenging first step. It's still a lot of fun if you give it the time it needs to understand the many gameplay mechanics.
Evil West isn’t for everyone, primarily appealing to fans of old-school action games.
The Devil In Me is an intriguing concept on paper, and the developers have attempted to implement several interesting gameplay changes, but the game suffers from abrupt pacing and inadequate character development, which limit its potential.
Doraemon: Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom is an enjoyable sequel with some great improvements, but it falls short of the franchise's full potential.
In the current market, there is nothing quite like Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and this new release appears to check all the right boxes to bring this classic to modern platforms. It is a once-in-a-generation game that should be played even if you are not a fan of the SRPG genre.
Harvestella is a Frankenstein creature of several genres with a golden heart. It's one of the year's most soothing games, with an addicting gameplay cycle and some intriguing quests.
Despite its half-baked accommodation of new mechanics, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 remains a highly entertaining package, both with regard to its campaign and multiplayer offerings.
Shadows of Rose is a solid continuation of the Resident Evil Village story, with minor flaws in its survival horror focus but some tense moments. The other new additions in the Winters' Expansion make an already terrific game even better, with a completely new third-person camera providing a distinct perspective on Resident Evil Village's scary story mode.
Star Ocean: The Divine Force has a terrific battle system, a variety of unique exploration possibilities with a lot of vertical mobility, and a solid cast of characters, but the game's pacing can be a problem, and the writing is somewhat weak.
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is a thrilling adventure with some intense strategic battles. It's an excellent sequel that fixes many of the flaws of its predecessor and provides a spectacular journey with hours of entertainment.
No More Heroes 3 promises and delivers a good time for fans of the series as well as people who have never played any prior games.
Valkyrie Elysium has an excellent battle system and exciting exploration options, but the plot never takes off, resulting in a lackluster conclusion.
The Diofield Chronicle has all of the components for an intriguing game, but it lacks a few key ingredients that may help it stand out.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R's main foundation is good, with a fun battle system that doesn't seem difficult, but the mediocre online multiplayer dampens some of its promises.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac won't set the platforming genre on fire, but it checks all the appropriate boxes for fans of the yellow ghost-eating hero.
