TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #6: Final Fantasy XVI - the next step for gaming’s greatest series

I realize that headline might be a little provocative. Gaming’s greatest series? Really? Well, yes. For my money, at least, no single franchise has had a larger impact on my personal life in video games than Final Fantasy. The original game introduced me to Japanese RPGs. Final Fantasy VI taught me how much a video game story could affect me. Final Fantasy XIV is probably the best MMORPG ever made.

Valiant Force 2 - A FAN SERVICE Filled Art Style Gacha Game that is LOADS OF FUN

Valiant Force 2 is a recently released anime gacha game that I found myself playing for quite some time and for the most part it was fairly enjoyable. The story part of the game has a lot of cinematics and conversational cut scenes, but while the early cut scenes did have voice acting, once you progressed further into the game, the voice acting was removed and you were left reading the story. I personally am not a fan of these sorts of situations, I'd much rather they stick with the voice acting if they are going to start off with it.

Calling all Undertale fans! Atlas Wept is a quirky pixel art RPG about empathy and robot dogs

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.

Ugly | Android

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.

Crafting game lovers won’t want to miss this cozy RPG

WitchSpring R is a simple but addictive RPG that’s all about collecting items and crafting potions. It’s a remake of the first title in a popular series of mobile games, but it also has a lot in common with another game series: Atelier. I’m a huge Atelier fan, and WitchSpring R definitely captures the cozy slice-of-life qualities that makes those games great. The game revolves around Pieberry, an adorable witch who would like nothing more than to spend her days eating the best pie that the world has to offer. Unfortunately for her, WitchSpring R takes place in a world where magic users are being hunted down. This means she has to dodge attacks from enemy soldiers while she’s exploring or gathering ingredients.

My Thoughts on Dragon Quest I + II HD‑2D and Dragon Quest III HD‑2D

I’ve been checking out the reviews and previews for the HD‑2D remakes of Dragon Quest I + II and Dragon Quest III, and after playing them, here’s my take in plain, casual player talk. ⸻ 1. Classic Feel Meets Modern Touch For me, the biggest charm of these HD‑2D remakes is being able to relive the nostalgia of the original games while enjoying modern conveniences and upgraded visuals. It’s like wearing your favorite old clothes made with better fabric and added pockets—familiar, but pleasantly surprising. In I + II, I was curious about how they’d spice up combat, especially since the original I was pretty basic. The previews mentioned multi-enemy battles, which really piqued my interest. At the same time, I was worried that too many changes might ruin the classic feel. III HD‑2D struck a better balance: keeping the simple, heroic adventure vibe while adding quality-of-life improvements like faster battles, auto-save, and voice acting. ⸻ 2. Story and Immersion If you’re used to complex stories, the simple plots here might seem “lightweight.” But I’ve come to appreciate the “simplicity is beauty” approach. The classics were always about the chosen hero, saving the world, and defeating the big bad guy. In I + II, especially I, the story is straightforward. Some players say, “Don’t expect anything deep—just defeat the enemies and save the world.” Adding small side quests or tweaking narrative pacing could boost immersion without losing the original charm. III offers a richer world, with job classes, day/night cycles, and exploration that give more freedom. Exploring this world and building a party still feels exciting. ⸻ 3. Combat and Systems Combat is a big deal for me. The remakes did a good job improving it. • In III, combat feels more flexible, and speeding up battles reduces grind fatigue. • The job system remains, and switching classes or combining skills is still engaging. • In I + II, introducing multi-enemy battles in I shows the developers’ willingness to rethink classic mechanics, which I really appreciate. Of course, some old-school limitations show up, like running repetitive encounters or grinding for levels, which can feel tedious at times. ⸻ 4. Visuals, Audio, and Art The HD‑2D style combines pixel characters with modern lighting, depth, and layered environments, giving the world more “weight.” III is widely praised as the most beautiful in the HD‑2D series. Monster animations, combat effects, shadows, and environmental lighting all add a nice touch. Music and sound effects are faithful to the originals but remastered with modern instrumentation, and the addition of voice acting makes key dialogues more immersive. ⸻ 5. Minor Gripes and Hopes Even though I enjoyed both remakes, here are a few things I hope could be improved: 1. Richer story / side content – More side quests or character interactions would make the world feel even more alive. 2. Deeper system complexity – For players who love strategy, class combos, and skill trees, more depth would be nice. 3. Random encounters – Some areas can feel grindy; fewer encounters or visible monsters could help. 4. Platform / performance optimization – Handheld versions should run smoothly, with minimal loading and good visuals. 5. Cross-save / upgrade options – I + II remakes currently lack cross-platform save support, which could be inconvenient for future hardware migration. ⸻ 6. Overall Thoughts Overall, these HD‑2D remakes are highly worth checking out, especially for nostalgic players or anyone who loves classic RPGs. • If you missed the originals, these remakes are an excellent entry point: modern visuals, smooth gameplay, and friendly mechanics. • If you’re a long-time fan, it’s rewarding to see the classics come to life while respecting the original vision. • If you prefer complex narratives or extremely deep systems, some parts might feel light—but the remakes strike a solid balance of classic charm and modern convenience. In short: Dragon Quest III HD‑2D feels like the most polished and mature entry in the series so far, while I + II HD‑2D is a bold attempt to modernize the classics. If you enjoy this type of game or classic RPGs, these remakes are definitely worth trying. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve played them too 🙂

When did strategy RPGs get so stylish? Persona 5 Tactica is a spin-off game you won't want to miss

SHOULD I PLAY PERSONA 5 TACTICA? Play it if you enjoyed Persona 5 and have any interest in strategy RPGs. Persona 5 Tactica is stylish, charming, and has absurdly addictive tactical battles. The chibi art style won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s a fantastic-looking game with even better gameplay. If you haven’t gotten around to playing Persona 5 yet, you might want to avoid this—it has a few major story spoilers—but if you’re willing to deal with that, you should have no issues following the plot.

MechArashi | Android

This tactical RPG was announced by Square Enix in April 2022; it is part of the Front Mission saga, the first title having been released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo. It features giant mecha robots called "Wanzers", short for the German Wanderung Panzer, meaning "walking tanks". Ninety-one years before the New Era, an asteroid fell on our planet, forming the island of Milkhama. Many years later, the Obsidians discovered, after the impact with our planet, the existence of a matter called "Arashi", from which a new intelligent alloy, "Arashium", was born. When fused with mecha (known as ST), it improved their performance. This discovery caused a series of military conflicts and political tensions that affected several countries between the 21st and 22nd centuries between two powerful global federations: the "Second Huffman War".  On Milkhama Island, countless mecha factories competed for supremacy, resulting in the creation of classic mecha with varying designs and performances, along with a range of corresponding weapons. So much so that the STs, once peaceful machines, were used on the battlefield! In the blink of an eye, Milkhama Island became the coveted prize of all factions, sparking yet another world conflict! War, unfortunately, never changes! Here, you can customize the bodies, arms, legs, and weapons of your mecha to build a team of mecha suited to the needs of each battle, then pair them with elite pilots, each with their own unique personality and backstory. You can also customize the paintwork of your mecha and weapons down to the smallest detail, with over 120 free default colors available! Of course, in these conflicts, there is a group of mercenaries whose goal is to survive!  The single-part destruction battle system allows you to assemble your mecha however you like, equip a wide selection of weapons, and choose your favorite pilots to engage in battle. When any part of a mecha is destroyed, its effectiveness in battle is significantly reduced. By targeting the enemy's most critical parts, you can gain a clear strategic advantage. The hit points of different mecha parts are calculated separately in battle, allowing for the destruction of individual parts. This feature opens the door to a world of infinite strategic possibilities. Destroying the torso, the part with the highest hit points, directly neutralizes the target, while breaking the arms or legs compromises weapons and mobility. Every choice must be carefully considered in advance, based on the current situation on the battlefield.

Green Glass ( The End) | Android

I finally finished Green Glass from the Chinese studio Netease.  I crossed landscapes in a medieval epic fantasy world with a very fascinating Asian flavor in the guise of a warrior on a journey in which I had to accompany a girl to be protected from a series of dangers and enemies.  Along the way, I faced tons of obstacles, including powerful enemies who tried to end my adventure prematurely.  In some scenarios I rode a horse, while other times I even went down to prepare healing tea.
