Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers is a smart twist on the SRPG formula that pushes the genre in new, interesting directions while never losing touch with what makes these sorts of games so satisfying.

Amid a few new additions and changes, The Flame in the Flood is still very much the same flawed but absorbing survival game that you might remember from last year.

Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is a pretty shoddy port, but the game itself is a charming, arresting adventure with loads of content and depth.

Kingdom Hearts fans - particularly those who can justify the game's astronomical price point of $60 for about five hours of new content - will definitely enjoy their brief time with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

The charm of Dragon Quest VIII for me has always been how it feels like a child’s fairy tale, crafted with the mediocre English impressions and memorable adventures that our parents used to read to us when we were young. While the writing can be cheesy at times, and the gameplay may appear barebones in comparison to newer titles, I actually enjoy that kind of campiness from a series like Dragon Quest and it never detracted from my personal experience.

A little platformer that offers new mechanics in a graduated, character-centric fashion.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza 0
Jan 19, 2017

Not awful but far from good, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is a title that lets down fans and keeps away newcomers with a pithy story, mediocre gameplay, and a generic art direction that betrays the franchise’s roots.

Ladykiller in a Bind hits some unfortunate narrative snags and suffers from mixed characterization, but is ultimately a worthwhile, interesting game that takes the medium in interesting new directions.

8.5 / 10.0 - Stardew Valley
Jan 10, 2017

I might not be as hypnotized with Stardew Valley as a lot of other folks, but it's pretty much the Harvest Moon follow-up I've been waiting for since the SNES and Nintendo 64 days.

7.5 / 10.0 - Gravity Rush 2
Jan 10, 2017

Despite a majority of the original’s flaws carrying over, Gravity Rush 2 is nevertheless a good game with a winning narrative and a beautiful art direction.

As the most content-rich Project DIVA game yet, Future Tone has a bizarre charm that should appeal even to the most vocaloid-averse rhythm game fans.

8 / 10.0 - Even the Ocean
Jan 6, 2017

By tying the story’s underlying themes to its gameplay, Even the Ocean feels cohesive in a way that few games do.

6 / 10.0 - How We Soar (VR)
Jan 5, 2017

How We Soar has a lot of potential, but it’s left unrealized in what ultimately amounts to a very unfulfilling game.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is WayForward’s finest entry in the series yet. Platformer enthusiasts and people who can’t get enough of collecting virtual trinkets will undoubtedly find something to get lost in here.
