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. Don't forget to

Atuel: A Documentary Game | Android

I believe that raising awareness about environmental issues, even through a smartphone, is one of the best ways to send a message about the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, most people are starting to lose interest when it comes to emissions and pollution. The title, named after the Atuel River, which flows through the Argentine provinces of Mendoza and La Pampa, explores the landscape and the people who live around this vital artery. From an isometric perspective, you explore the ecosystem firsthand; at times, you even become part of the river! It's essentially a surrealist documentary, combining breathtaking landscapes with an ambient soundtrack by composer Makunouchi Bento, creating an emotional and reflective experience. As we traverse the surreal environments from above, real voices tell stories of the river valley's past, present, and uncertain future. The transitions between different perspectives allow us to experience the river's story through multiple points of view. It has the ability to convey a powerful message, highlighting the fragile balance between humanity and nature.  As we journey through rivers, valleys, burning forests, the sea, and more, we'll gradually be transformed into different animals and elements, adding a unique perspective on how we're changing the planet's natural cycles. The gameplay is a linear experience similar to a walking sim, which I don't mean in a derogatory sense, and the fact that it transforms us into different animals and elements, usually downstream, brings to light the impact of climate change. I was impressed by the variety of environments and graphics, which change every time we transform into something new, and by how it uses these changes and the narrative to explain how rivers are like living beings. I thought it was a new game, but it's actually a Steam port; I only received the notification from the Google Play Store a few minutes ago. I highly recommend trying it. It's free and only lasts 30 minutes.

A mobile anime RPG without gacha? Ex Astris is a premium game with an addictive combat system

SHOULD I PLAY EX ASTRIS? If you have a phone powerful enough to run it, you should absolutely pick it up. Ex Astris is a brand-new mobile RPG from the creators of Arknights. It’s got everything you could want from an anime RPG—lovable characters, great combat, and a beautiful world—but there’s no gacha and no microtransactions. It’s refreshing to play a mobile title that’s not designed around monetization beyond the initial price to buy it, and if you’re into these kinds of games, it’s definitely worth paying for.

Attention Atelier fans! This cozy crafting RPG is a must-play

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.

How do you make dungeon-crawling even better? How about making it adorable?

SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HOPE? Definitely give this one a chance if you’re looking for a surprisingly relaxing, grindy dungeon-crawler, but maybe skip it if you mainly go to RPGs for the story. Silent Hope goes back to the absolute basics of the Japanese RPG formula, with a crew of seven mute heroes, each representing a different class, journeying into a multi-level abyss to save a fallen kingdom. By sticking to the fundamentals, the game is able to focus on making the characters and world charming as hell and the core gameplay streamlined and solid.

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.

All done with Super Mario RPG? Here's the colorful action-RPG you'll want to play next

Very few RPGs manage to capture the sense of whimsy and adventure of Super Mario RPG, so when one comes along, we take notice. That's why we couldn't look away when we saw the absolutely adorable and fun-looking Born of Bread. This RPG puts players into the shoes of Loaf, a "flour golem" who must journey the world and make new friends while solving a perplexing mystery. Like Super Mario RPG, Born of Bread's combat system is technically turn-based, but different moves allow players to do extra damage by completing timing-based challenges. So it requires a little more attention than the average turn-based RPG, where you might just tap "attack" over and over.

Rune Factory 3 Special blends farming, fantasy, and dungeon crawling to create an amazing RPG

Many years ago, when controllers still had wires and dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was only one farming series on the scene: Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon series was incredible—I loved tending crops, raising livestock, and chatting up the locals. But there were times when I wanted something more. What would it be like to play a farming game with a different setting? What if there was a game where I could whack weeds and slay monsters?

Crhunchyroll: Pepper Grinder | Android

It's a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital. It's a high-speed 2D action-platformer where the centerpiece of the experience is... a "Grinder" drill—and it's not just a weapon, but a true multi-purpose tool! The protagonist is Pepper, a young and determined treasure hunter who is shipwrecked on a mysterious island after losing all her loot. On the island, a band of bizarre enemies called Narlings steals what remains, including her precious mechanical drill called the "Grinder." Determined to get back what's hers, Pepper manages to recover the Grinder and begins her adventure through increasingly varied and dangerous environments. From sandy beaches to underground caves, industrial structures, and surreal landscapes, Pepper faces hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, each with unique mechanics. The narrative is simple but effective: there are no long dialogues, but rather a story told through fluid animations and dynamic cutscenes.  Pepper's journey is a constant race for revenge, in a colorful yet hostile world, where each level represents a new step towards the final showdown. The drill allows Pepper to dig into the ground and "swim" underground, launch himself into the air at high speed, attach himself to mechanisms and activate platforms, and create incredibly fluid movement combos. The control system is surprisingly responsive, especially on high-performance devices. The gameplay is based on rhythm and precision: the more you master the drill, the more spectacular the experience becomes. The enemies are varied and well-characterized. Some require timing, others strategy. The boss fights are one of the game's highlights: dynamic, intense, and often divided into multiple phases, the levels are full of secrets, alternative routes, and collectibles. In short, it encourages replayability thanks to timed challenges, hidden object collection, and routes optimized for speedrunning. Its detailed pixel art style and fluid animations make the title visually captivating. The music is energetic and perfectly complements the frenetic action.  It's not a casual game: it requires precision, reflexes, and a little practice, but it's incredibly rewarding.

Final Fantasy X. I first played it on PS2 back in the day and absolutely fell in love with it. I've played through it numerous times, and have owned it on every platform it's ever been released on. It's one game I'll never get tired of, and will probably still be playing another 20 years from now. The story, the characters, the battle system, everything is amazing. And of course, who doesn't love some Blitzball? If you love JRPGs and haven't played FFX yet, get out from under that rock you've been living under, and play it!

Persona 5 Tactica has arrived, and it is ADORABLE! But...

Game: Persona 5 Tactica Platform: Switch / PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Genre: Tactics / Strategy / Story Focused Released: November 17th Price: $60 USD Overview & Story I'm sure you're wondering if you need to play the other games to appreciate this one, because it's mainly centered around the relationships of all of the Phantom Thieves. The answer is that you don't need to know much if you haven't played the prior games because the game does a great job of giving you some background information on what and who they are and what they did in Persona 5 as a whole.

It is a 2D puzzle platformer with "mirror mechanics", with the protagonist having the ability to create a dark reflection of himself, splitting the screen in two, with which he can swap places and solve puzzles and make his way through this evil place full of secrets and flooded with tragedy. His main ability is to exploit the shadow reflected by a shard of a mirror and move it to solve puzzles. It will take logic and skill to survive this dangerous journey of self-reflection. It is basically a dark and twisted fairy tale that explores the desolate recesses of the tormented mind, darkened by the past that spills into the present! The protagonist of this aberrant story is the one who as a child was bullied because he was different due to his aesthetic appearance. Despite his noble title he often wakes up in the middle of the night tormented by events of the past, in which his figure was quite "unwelcome" to most due to his slightly strange and ugly face!  To overcome this childhood trauma he often ends up getting drunk with an impressive amount of alcohol. He constantly relives, through various flashbacks, unpleasant moments from his past and to extricate himself from the dark meshes of what happened after his conception, because of a face that did not fit the one chosen by society, which wants us all beautiful and handsome, his narcissistic wound will have the flavor of social redemption, although everything that afflicts them is impossible to erase. Meanwhile in his desolate and immense palace there are several doors that allow you to unlock new portions of the map, thanks to drawings from the past that he will have to collect and... after obtaining one of the many children's illustrations, he will offer a portion of a specific moment in which he experienced discomfort; in this way it is possible to unravel the plot, assembling them all to better understand what pushed him to distance himself from society. At the end of each chapter there are boss fights that we will have to face with the ability of reflection!  Some bosses stand out for their mechanics and aesthetics, others for their genius and peculiar characteristics! Solving certain intricate puzzles through logic is really fun, especially when you sharpen your skills and start getting serious (after about an hour). It is truly surprising how the Spanish development team managed to tell a story without using dialogues or voices, especially when the protagonist tries with all his strength to juggle reality, believing he is inside a mirror and sees his own reflection with a wrinkled and sad face. The title itself advises us at the beginning of the game to take breaks between the various chapters, so as to better assimilate the plot and not be shocked by so much crudeness in telling existential facts; it is fun but also cruel in telling a paradoxical and unique story. The mirror often reveals everything, but be careful... sometimes, the truth is hard to digest.
