Persona 5 Tactica is your standard (Clean) fanservice

If you already play Persona, your chances of picking up on the game and getting into it are high; however, if you're interested in it because you believe it's a fantastic game because of how much the community loves the previous titles and you're looking to get into it, you should wait a while and play through the entirety of Persona 5 Royal because you won't be able to resonate with the characters.

The thrilling conclusion of an amazing JRPG story - Trails into Reverie Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a big Legend of Heroes fan, but newcomers to the series are better off starting elsewhere. The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a sprawling epic that serves as a conclusion to both the Cold Steel and Crossbell story arcs. It doesn’t waste much time on recaps or exposition, so if you’re not familiar with previous games, you’ll probably feel pretty lost. If you’re curious about the game, but don’t want to jump in at the end of the story,

RHYTHM SPROUT - AN UPBEAT & RHYTHM ADVENTURE!

While the game is awfully short, it provides a lot of replay-ability, allowing you to either sit back and relax to the music or really challenge yourself to go for those difficult end game accomplishments to unlock new clothes and weaponry cosmetics. Not only is it a great rhythm experience, but it also tells you a ridiculous tale while being incredibly energetic and fun, to the point that you can't help but jam along.

Insomniac hacks reveal Marvel's Spider-Man 3, an X-Men game, multiplayer projects, and even more

Sony-owned developer Insomniac Games has had a pretty good year, what with the release of the much-loved Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and increasing hype for the previously announced Marvel's Wolverine (image from the trailer above). 2023 is ending on a bit of a frustrating note for Insomniac, though, albeit one that will just make gamers more hype: A massive leak has revealed no less than six upcoming games from the studio, several of which are unannounced.

A better-than-average gacha that could use more content

Grand Quest just entered open beta, and as someone who's always searching for my next go-to gacha game, I had to give it a shot. So far, I'm definitely pretty impressed, though it has some work to go. Perhaps the biggest surprise in Grand Quest, especially when compared to other gacha games, is that the story is pretty entertaining and well-translated. Much of it is told through stylish comic book-panel cutscenes, and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying getting to know these characters.

It's free, but at what cost? Strange Hill is a cool adventure thriller with too many ads

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.

Turnip Boy returns to break the law again in this adorable roguelite action game

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a surprise sensation when it launched in 2021. Who knew that it could be so much fun playing as a cute little vegetable guy who just loves committing federal felony? The Zelda-style adventure gameplay didn't hurt matters either. Well, a few years have passed, but it seems our heart-healthy hero still has a taste for being a bad guy. His latest adventure is titled
Turnip Boy returns to break the law again in this adorable roguelite action game
Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #3: Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - the best Zelda game ever

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came out way back in May, but from the first time I glued a sword to another sword, I knew it would be one of my favorite games of the year. It manages to be so many things at the same time, from a physics sandbox to a puzzle-lover’s playground to a shockingly detailed engineering simulation. Oh, and it also happens to be a phenomenal Zelda game. Most games are filled with boundaries and restrictions, but in Tears of the Kingdom, you can do just about anything you want to do if you can find a way to make it work. Sure, you can’t walk up to dogs and pet them, but

CRYPTMASTER - A UNIQUE BLEND OF WORDLE-STORY DUNGEON CRAWLING

Whether you enjoy testing yourself with WPM gameplay or prefer a unique and well-crafted experience that will have you clutching your sides with laughter and fascinating characters and story. CryptMaster is a game you should not miss out on. There is so much here that is both distinct and borrowed from other games. It's not often that you see the genre of typing combined with dungeon crawling, exploration, and combat. It all works so well which is very surprising with the fantastic visual expressions, and you also have a huge list of phrases and dialog that you can use to converse with the narrator at any point, you'd be astonished how many lines of dialogue they managed to pack into this experience which was all hand crafted. Many assume that it was created using AI, but in actuality, the developers sat down and attempted to think up every possible conversation you might type and simply added in a response or secret interaction. I definitely see how the visuals seem robotic, but all in all it's a uniquely human created experience.

This steampunk spin on Disco Elysium is a slow burn, but full of great characters

SHOULD I PLAY SOVEREIGN SYNDICATE? This is an RPG that’s all about character and setting, so skip this one if you’re mainly interested in combat and stats. While the characters in Sovereign Syndicate have various attributes that I was able to influence, there’s nary a battle to be found—instead, expect an experience closer to Disco Elysium—if Disco Elysium was set in an alternate version of Victorian London in which minotaurs, cyclopes, and werewolves shared the rough streets and opium dens of the East End with humans. That means this is a game where conversations and skill checks are how each characters’ mettle is tested.

mousebusters review

I finished the main story! mousebusters Such an awesome game, the storyline is chill with added comedy, so damn enjoyable. There are lots of lessons to be learned from it. There are a few bugs, like text bubbles getting cut off, but it doesn't mess with the gameplay. Even though the boss's ending wasn't what I expected, at least the peace in the apartment is back to normal. Boss, I miss you.. (。•́︿•̀。)

ANIMAL WELL - A SURREAL & COMPACT PLATFORMER

VideoGameDunky is someone I can truly relate to; he began his career as a League of Legends content creator and streamer before transitioning to a satirical approach to video game reviews, to the point where half of the community around him felt serious and the other half felt like memes, making it difficult to differentiate from whether his reviews were genuine or just him being overly silly with jokes and humor.

What if you were lost in space? The Invincible is Firewatch with a science fiction twist

SHOULD I PLAY THE INVINCIBLE? Play it if you’re a fan of old-school hard science fiction, but skip it if you’re not big on interactive fiction. The Invincible tells a slow-paced but fascinating story based on the Stanislaw Lem novel of the same name. Dr. Yasna, a biologist on an interstellar mission, wakes up alone on a strange planet with no memory of how she got there. It’s a fantastic premise, and the story is expertly told, but the gameplay doesn’t always live up to the quality of the narrative. It’s not for everyone, but if you’ve enjoyed other walking simulators like

A great anime adaptation inside a subpar gacha game - DanMachi Battle Chronicle Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY DANMACHI BATTLE CHRONICLE? Only play it if you really like DanMachi. DanMachi Battle Chronicle is a visually stunning gacha game based on the popular light novel/manga/anime series DanMachi or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? in its full English title. The game features a well-made story backed by great voice acting and cutscenes, but it falls short with everything else: repetitive gameplay, slow progression, limited content, and a poorly designed shop.
