7.8 / 10.0 - Bravely Default 2
Mar 3, 2021

The deep strategy provides an excellent experience, and the high-level boss battles made a recall of the emotions of the classic JRPG well. However, the level design is not perfect and frequent loading prevents immersion. It can be an attractive title for those who want to feel the emotions of the classic JRPG.

It is a game that emphasizes getting rewarded for labor, but it lacks optimization. Interacting with attractive town dwellers offers a variety of interesting stories, but the ordinary production is a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, it contains the core and charm of the "STORY OF SEASONS" series.

8.5 / 10.0 - Loop Hero
Mar 10, 2021

A world where everything is made up of loops. Hero growth and resource acquisition can be gained through constant repetition. It is just like a game where players who are ignorant of the secrets of the world continue to travel around the world and eventually grow up. You have to repeat things in place to take the next step. The game expressed the fun of repetition with Roguelike and strategy.

Laid-Back Camp - Virtual - Lake Motosu is a game that packs the whole experiences at Laid-Back Camp into a short playtime. There are few interactions in the game and those may disappoint you, but camping with Rin Shima itself makes you feel like you are in the animation.

7.5 / 10.0 - Bloodroots
Mar 20, 2021

An action game like John Wick. The player must become a meticulous assassin and plan a perfect assassination without a hitch from the beginning to the end of the stage. The system of assassinating enemies by using objects placed throughout the map feels like solving a puzzle. The game is quite difficult, but the sense of achievement when you succeed in your mission is great.

7 / 10.0 - Lust From Beyond
Mar 24, 2021

"Lust from Beyond" spreads sexual desire throughout the game and reveals it clearly, evoking fantasies about sex. However, the game is not just pornography, it shows a higher level of Cosmic Horror in Lovecraft style. The dreary, dense expression of fear and bizarre design influenced by 'HR Giger' increase the immersion level of the game. But, the movement is very stiff, like a piece of wood, and the puzzle is clumsy and uncomfortable. In addition, it is difficult to play for a long time due to even more dizzy screen transitions than 3D VR.

Monster Hunter Rise is a game that qualifies as the latest game in the series. The RE engine's performance in Nintendo Switch specification, showing remarkable levels of graphics and optimization, is excellent. In addition, the strengths of the previous work and new elements of this work are combined to create a refreshing and a fast-tempo action. Despite many changes such as free map movement and system, the identity of the series "Hunting Action" is emphasized.

7 / 10.0 - Dandy Ace
Mar 30, 2021

Rogue-Lite showed freshness. Card magic without a fixed form makes the battle free. A mix of four active skills and four passive skills can create a thousand builds. However, the characteristics between the builds are not clear, so the characteristics of various builds cannot be found, and the feeling of play in the early and late stages are similar. Therefore, it was difficult to feel the joy of playing multiple times even though it was a Rogue-Lite game.

Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth provides refreshing action that sticks to the basics. The beautiful dot graphics, puzzle elements, and exploration are not bad. However, people may have different opinions due to the lack of motivation to play the game multiple times and the rather easy difficulty level.

8 / 10.0 - Outriders
Apr 6, 2021

Outriders is a game that seems to bring together the advantages of many of the root shooter games that have existed. Therefore, it shows a high level of completeness even though it is a new game, but it does not feel new despite it being a new IP. Fortunately, interesting stories and sophisticated narratives somewhat offset this lack.

A Metroidvania game adapted from old Korean myths. The graphic painted in dark tones and the background of oriental painting created the atmosphere of this work. The genre-specific elements of exploration and farming have been reduced, but the place has been filled with storytelling. It has surprisingly fulfilling boss battles, and is a work with plenty of control fun.

7.5 / 10.0 - Pac-Man 99
Apr 12, 2021

The game was developed based on "Pac-Man" and is attractive because it is intuitive and is easy for anyone to get used to it without any explanation. The unique value of masterpiece classic games remains intact, but it’s difficult to find new innovative elements.

7.5 / 10.0 - Cozy Grove
Apr 15, 2021

'Cozy Grove' is a cute and relaxing game. It only takes 30 minutes a day to paint warm colors on a white ghost island welcomed by ghost bears and imps. The game time flow is the same as real-time. In the daytime, the warm sunlight shines brightly, and at night, shining stars and lanterns light up the island that turned indigo. It’s time to heal ourselves without any contact on a calm and peaceful island where nothing is forced.

'Kaze and the Wild Masks' is a game that you can enjoy a pleasant trip if you are a big enough fan of platform games. The main synopsis isn't that impressive or great, but it's not that bad to have the feeling of taking a light trip. While enjoying great pixel arts and refreshing music, the process of saving distressed animal friends from ferocious vegetables offers cheerful action and challenging stages.

6.5 / 10.0 - Say No! More
Apr 16, 2021

"Say No! More" is a work that shows how courageous it is to be able to say "no" with conviction, facing the absurdities of society today, when people are becoming more cautious about expressing their negative intentions. The value it's trying to deliver is clear, but the gameplay is a bit repetitive. Rather than thinking of playing a game, it's better to treat it with the feeling of watching a comedy movie that you can laugh without worrying.

Action Loglight is a game with fun control. The level design focused on improving the player's skills. Besides that, dozens of other weapons and artifacts are prepared. Although it's quite difficult, it also supports assist mode for beginners.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is a title located between remaster and remake. While maintaining the original storytelling, the graphics and combat systems have improved dramatically. In particular, the combat system gives satisfying action fun thanks to the reference of Nier: Automata. However, due to the game’s limitations being a "remaster", there are still divided opinions in the parts that existed back in the original.

7 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 21
Apr 27, 2021

This year's best MLB simulation is The Show, but the graphic visuals without growth are disappointing. The clumsy cross between RTTS and DD feels like a signal to open the loot box. At least Stadium Creator soothes the disappointment. The new Pin-Point pitching allowed the player's skill to honestly determine the outcome of the game.

7.5 / 10.0 - Smelter
Apr 28, 2021

Strategy, Platformer - Smelter faithfully embodies the basic elements required by each genre, and its design that successfully coordinates the two different genres without dissonance stands out. This game is like a reference point for each genre, but it needs something more to show than that.

8 / 10.0 - Returnal
Apr 29, 2021

Sony's first solo game in 2021 showed high perfection. Battle action, a combination of story-oriented play methods and shooting genres, which are rare in genres such as log, stands out. However, even though it is a log-like genre, the freshness of repetitive play is low and the difficulty of the game is very high, requiring some barriers to entry.
