Spy X Anya: Operation Memories is a faithful recreation of Spy X Family with its visual design and premise. It however is a game that if you aren’t a fan of this series will not interest people in trying out the source material.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak gives us a new area of Zemuria and a lot of new characters to love. Van Arkride is a great character and I hope to see more of him going forward.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has cleared up every issue I had with the original game and then added even more awesomeness to the package. Well worth the purchase.
RKGK has a lot of heart and passion driving at the forefront. It can be fun for most of the casual experience, but once you get to the more precise mechanics, it can be frustrating.
Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling is a fantastic addition to the already great Otome game Cupid Parasite. It has a great new character and a lot more steamy situations.
Samurai Warriors 4 DX is a solid port of Samurai Warriors 4 on the PC. It includes all the DLC and is optimized well. The character models hold up, and it's awesome to finally get a fantastic way to play Samurai Warriors 4 on PC.
Neptunia GameMaker R:Evolution is a huge upgrade to Sisters vs Sisters and adds some more new characters to Gamindustri.
Stellar Blade is a phenomenal game that will have you slaughtering Naytibas all day long as you work on perfecting your craft with Eve. For Shift Up's first console game, Stellar Blade is, well, Stellar.
Touhou Mystia's Izakaya has a lot of great qualities with its art, music, and cozy vibe. Some may feel it a bit bland if you are looking for a more serious Izakaya simulator but it is great for what it is going for and at a cheap price point.
ASTLIBRA Revision Gaiden: The Cave of Phantom Mist is an addicting game that will have roguelite fans and JRPGS fans alike excited to keep playing.
Skull And Bones is a game that has glimmers of fun that show what it could have been. The game is competent but not worthwhile in its current state.
Sympathy Kiss has a premise that asks you what is more important. Is it having a good career or a good love life? Great artwork that has a small blemish on it due to posing the main character without their face in all shots. It also has short bite-sized routes that let you play through a lot of the routes.
Konosuba – God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love for these Clothes of Desire! is a fantastic experience if you are a fan of the anime and the world, but not one to play for newcomers to the series.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a masterpiece and is an amazing entry point into the world of Granblue Fantasy. The gameplay is engaging, the art design is immaculate, the music is amazing, and there is much to do in the game. I just wished the online component had more going on.
Neptunia Sisters vs Sisters on Nintendo Switch is a good port, and it runs the game well. I do think it warrants the same score as the base game for some of the new party members. I would still recommend it on PC or PS5 for less loading and pauses in gameplay.
Guardians of Holme is a fun tower defense game worth the $13 if you are someone who likes the control aspect of the genre.
Noctuary is a beautiful visual novel filled with fantastic art, amazing writing, great music and well done Chinese voice acting. The combat is not nearly as thoughtful.
Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond The Mountains is a fun piece of history that helps us see how games were evolving in the eastern side of the world. It is a great time piece but can easily frustrate modern players.
Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is the culmination of all the Sword Art Online games and it feels a bit disappointing. The combat feels much smoother and the character models are of higher quality, but it doesn't feel like a full experience.
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- is a must-play title for fans of the series. If you aren't a fan of the series then you are fine passing on it. A sweet game that is very funny and has great humorous moments and impactful scenes.
