For Souls-like newcomers, the game can be a welcome and rewarding gateway, provided a little dedication is applied to its gameplay. Without a doubt, it's another important addition to the already extensive and varied catalog of great games on the Big N hybrid console.

Despite the mediocrity of its narrative and audiovisual design, Process of Elimination has interesting gameplay ideas that deserve to be polished and further developed in a later title. Fans of survival-themed anime or investigation adventures like Dangaronpa might enjoy this game. I also recommend it, but with several reservations for those looking for experimental gameplay with tactical mechanics.

Despite a very striking look with great pixel art and good character designs, Marfusha has a pretty bland story, and with an experience that, even being short, quickly becomes boring. It can be fun if you want a quick tower defense experience that doesn't require much thought for an afternoon, but there are certainly better options on the market.

Despite its short duration, GrimGrimoire OnceMore's journey is light, fun, and rewarding. With quality-of-life features like a speed-up button, battles can quickly become intense, and the various difficulty levels that can be changed at any time in the level selection menu greatly enhance the experience.

Norn9: Var Commons is an otome game with a weak start, but it becomes more interesting when it finally shows the rich details behind the characters and mysteries. It's an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.

Atelier Ryza 3 may not be perfect but it certainly had a lot of love involved. It brings to light an optimistic vision for the future of the series, where I can't imagine Gust discarding the idea of ​​open maps that encourage the player to carry out trivial activities such as quests and collecting materials. Normally I would recommend any modern Atelier as a starting point in the series, as I argue that each title is special in its own way despite the technical leap feeling like an impediment. However, I will contradict myself this time, as Atelier Ryza 3 is so delicious and so well-crafted that, frankly, it becomes a much safer recommendation for new fans.

I really enjoyed "Have a Nice Death", especially for the fun premise of "Death" tired of working. Everything is captivating, the challenge exists without being oppressive, and even after many deaths, you will always want to try again after understanding how to kill an enemy. I recommend to the fans of roguelike genre who want something delicious to play and that you can stop or keep playing at anytime. Obviously the replay value here is very high, after all, we will do this with each run.

Ib is a short and sweet experience with a super engaging mystery, fun puzzles to complete, bringing great immersion in its exploration and story. It has very charismatic characters and is super convenient to replay the game with the goal of getting new endings and extra content. If enjoy titles with a more eeriee premise, less focused on action, it's certainly a title worth checking out.

With the re-release of FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Western fans can finally officially enjoy one of the Wii's most forgotten games. For a game that involved three different companies, the title has some good ideas, but its execution falls short in some areas.

It might be a bit harsh to evaluate Little Witch Nobeta in this way, it's sad to say but the game is disappointing in everything it sets out to present, from its gameplay to its soundtrack. The game could perhaps be better defined as a tangle of good ideas, which don't have the best execution.

Overall, Void Terrarium 2 is a decent, self-assured sequel that retains its desolate atmosphere and a touching, succinct narrative that fills in the gaps left by Void Terrarium 1. However, it's certainly best enjoyed if you've already played the original.

Tales of Symphonia is still an important piece of the franchise and a milestone that should be remembered, but it's unfortunately impossible to recommend the Switch edition when compared to any of the previous releases. It's a shame, as this classic deserved a high quality rerelease so that new players could experience it. It was not the case this time.

I believe a chapter has come to an end; perhaps not a personal one, but one of the Fire Emblem franchise itself. As is assumed by all journeys, I believe we have reached the end of one and the beginning of a new one.

The truth is that I would never be so tolerant of Clive 'N' Wrench faults if I didn't know the entire context that surrounds him. But playing with everything I've exposed here, I managed to have extreme sympathy with the creator and consequently with his work. More than that, I believe there is a lot of talent behind this game, because despite the lack of polish, it really manages to get it right in several aspects. Which makes me hopeful that the game will be a relative success and we will have more Rob Wass games in the future.

Gal Guardians: Demon Purge is a spin-off of an ecchi franchise and its final quality clearly demonstrates this. When compared to other 2D games from Inti Creates, such as the Azure Strike Gunvolt series, the drop in quality is noticeable. Despite having good gameplay, the combination of its visual elements, sound and design choices end up ruining what could be a good experience.

It's a polished, fun, and very interesting game from many perspectives. It's definitely impressive and demonstrates the team's full potential, giving me a lot of hope for their next game. Despite the harsh criticism in the last paragraph, I've played all of the company's games (even the promotional Fate/Stay Night) and I feel a tremendous affection for KROBON's career. My excessive criticism comes from a place of legitimate admiration and expectation, so I hope the reader still leaves with the following information: Drainus is a spectacular game, and worth your money.

I genuinely can't look at Labyrinth of Galleria as an average experience within its scope. It really does everything it sets out to do very well. Therefore, if you are one of those who value a well-designed, challenging and mechanic-rich RPG, especially if you are an avid fan of RPG Dungeon Crawler, this is a title that deserves your attention.

Persona 4 Golden, despite not being perfect, was an excellent experience in form, content and substance. It left an impression on me that managed to reflect on my way of seeing things in real life and that in itself already guarantees its place as a universal recommendation from me.

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk is a solid and engaging experience. It offers distinct mechanics and a nice level of difficulty, making it a surefire recommendation for fans of the series. It takes advantage of several features already featured in NIS's Tactical RPG games, but adapts them to the format of a DRPG, while still introducing its own unique features.
