If you want a REAL generous mobile game, give this game a try!

I've seen plenty of other posts with the "Themostgenerousgacha" hashish tag, mentioning games like Blue Archive, Punishing Gray Raven, Demian Saga, etc. and I won't deny that those games are generous. They really are, but generous is all they are. If you want a SUPER GENEROUS, entirely free to play game with NOTHING locked behind a paywall, then you have to give Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe a try! Some of you who have played this game before will say that this game has paid gacha currency, and yes, that's true, but it's practically the same as the free gacha currency. Why, you ask? Well, it's quite simple, but first, I have to mention that, in RSRS, banners ALWAYS come out in pairs: One free banner and one paid banner.

Make delicious food in this short but heartfelt narrative cooking game - Venba Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of visual novels or cooking games, or just want to see some amazing-looking food. Venba is a game about food, but it puts just as much care into its narrative as it does into its dishes. It follows Venba and Paavalan, an immigrant couple struggling to adjust to life in Canada. Venba uses her mother’s old recipe book as a way to stay connected to her culture. Later on, as their family expands,

WHY CAN'T OTHER BIG DEVELOPERS UNDERSTAND THIS?

I'd heard of the series, as well as other well-known JRPG games, but I never bothered to look into it because I wasn't very interested in playing non-PC games at the time. It's direct and to the point, doesn't hold back monetarily, and comes from a well-known developer for a Gacha which for some people may come as a red flag, but hold on. It hits every note, even nostalgia for past games I haven't played in over a decade that being

A Sneak Peek @ Killer Frequency

Back Again, with your latest bit of Indie Investigating. This time, it's Team 17 Digital's darkly funny narrative title 'Killer Frequency'- which takes the campy idea of a Slash Plot, and has a good bit of fun with it. Tune In, Check Out, Leave a Not-So-Pretty Corpse While there's plenty of stories in Gallows Creek- none invoke quite as much fear as that of 'The Whistling Man', a serial killer who ran rampant in the 50's, before the police were finally able to put him down.

"Reverse : 1999" resembling an Era that rewinds as you move a step forward for the worse unknown .

As of the current moment, I believe the game is yet to unfold more, to be reviewed "thoroughly" but even so, reversal of time isn't exactly an unfamiliar notion to me like many of those who hold science fiction at a high estimation but I don't seem to recall having any practical experiences of the following concept, so I was quite enthusiastic and enticed full of bubbly expectations since the very first time seeing its trailer before pre-registering the game .

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

Ubisoft resurrects Prince of Persia in a fantastic new Metroidvania form

SHOULD I PLAY PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN? Yes! As a long-time fan of the Prince of Persia franchise, I was excited to see it coming back, but even gamers who are totally unfamiliar with previous games should be able to find plenty to love in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. This reboot puts players into the role of Sargon, a warrior of Persia who must venture into the dangerous region of Mount Qaf after the prince is kidnapped. In gameplay terms, that means exploring a fascinating region in the form of a tightly designed 2D Metroidvania-style adventure.

Paper Mario meets Cartoon Network in this quirky, bread-based RPG

SHOULD I PLAY BORN OF BREAD? Born of Bread feels like an unofficial successor to the Paper Mario series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you’ll definitely want to check it out. There were times when I thought Born of Bread could’ve used a little more time in the oven, but I was still won over by its playful dialogue and loveable cast of characters. If you dig games with a wacky, silly sense of humor, this is going to charm you too.

Zenless Zone Zero is like Persona!? [Reaction and Evaluation]

This is truly surprising. I'm not a huge admirer of MiHoYo and their work, but reaching out to players that are specifically enamored with Persona and it's atmosphere in terms of bonding, gameplay, and music / story is a refreshing change of pace that hopefully result in fresh new concepts from other developers willing to reach out. It's difficult to suppose it wouldn't, given that the game has already gathered over 10 million pre-registered users in several months, and has undoubtedly risen even higher since its recent showcase and announcement.

The Life is Strange devs shift from reality to fantasy - Harmony: The Fall of Reverie Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of visual novels or narrative-driven games. Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is a choice-based game from the developers of Life Is Strange, and while it doesn’t quite capture that game’s slice-of-life magic, it still tells a rich and fascinating story. Set in the not-too-distant future, Harmony follows Polly, a seemingly ordinary woman who returns to her hometown after her mother goes missing. Before she can start her search, Polly discovers that she’s actually an oracle that can travel to a magical realm called Reverie and see the future before it unfolds. Now, she must use her newfound power to make tough decisions and restore balance to two very different worlds.

A tense sci-fi walking simulator that you can finish in one sitting - Fort Solis Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.

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.

BLAZBLUE HAS DEVIATED AND IT WORKED OUT SO WELL!

Personally I've don't often play fighting games because they're not my favorite style of genre. Not that I don't play ever; it's just not a thing I am ever really interested in. So when I learned that BlazBlue had a new title and genre, I was surprised. Developers rarely step outside of their comfort zone in an attempt to explore new things, particularly at the level that Entropy Effect provides in terms of story, visual flair, and build customization or just overall gameplay challenge.

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.

Brown Dust 2 is a gacha love letter to classic JRPGs

I'm totally unfamiliar with the original Brown Dust, but Brown Dust 2 has almost immediately and completely won me over as my favorite gacha game I've played since last year's Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. Like that game, Brown Dust 2 uses absolutely gorgeous hi-res pixel art and storytelling that feels like it comes from the Super Nintendo era of classic Japanese role-playing games.

WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

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.
