Ryu Ga Gotoku Online | Android ( Only Japan )

Known in the West as Yakuza Online, it is a title developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (an internal division of Sega), supervised by Masayoshi Yokoyama, and directed by Akio Horii for iOS, Android, and PC. The subtitle visible in the image, "黄龍放浪記" (Kōryū Hōrōki), refers to the second part of the main story, which focuses on the character Ryuji Goda. 1) 📝 STORYLINE: The plot of Ryu Ga Gotoku Online introduces a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, a former yakuza member with a strong sense of honor and a larger-than-life personality. After being betrayed and serving a long prison sentence, Ichiban returns to society to find a completely changed world and a fragmented yakuza organization.  The story unfolds through criminal intrigue, fragile alliances, and power struggles, maintaining the classic narrative style of the Yakuza series: intense drama, humorous moments, and deep characters. Meanwhile, the second part of the storyline (Kōryū Hōrōki) brings Ryuji Goda to the forefront, offering an alternative perspective and expanding the narrative universe with events and backstories related to his past and ambitions. The game thus expands the saga's lore, connecting to the main events of the series and introducing new protagonists and antagonists.

How a scrapped Capcom horror game became a classic RPG

Capcom just released a complete compilation of the Mega Man Battle Network games, which has me thinking about what a miracle it is that the series exists in the first place. The first game was originally conceived as a Game Boy Advance horror game that measured your heart rate with a wearable device. When Capcom couldn’t make that work, they quickly retooled the initial concept and got to work on an RPG with a card-based battle system. When the devs decided to include Mega Man, they switched from cards to Battle Chips, and

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.

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 🙂

Batman Begins | Android_EMuPS2 ( ASUS Rogphone6pro )

It is faithfully inspired by the film of the same name by Nolan starring the Dark Knight, or Batman. Since he was a child, Bruce Wayne has lived with the fear of being the architect of his parents' death, an atavistic fear that has repercussions even in adulthood; for bats, fear is a sign of resilience. The same fear that he will put at the service of Gotham City to prevent other children from suffering like him because of rampant crime. Batman, does not fear rivals, since the first films, instills fear, fear and then real terror in his victims, so that at the moment of combat, he finds himself facing little more than frightened and often unarmed big men who are little able to respond to his blows. Everything is managed audiovisually through indicators that are sometimes difficult to read and much more explicit reproductions of a heartbeat, faster the greater the criminal's fear!  Stealth is nothing more than a sweetened version of Splinter Cell: to get behind the unsuspecting enemy and take him out otherwise we will be massacred in an instant by bursts of machine guns! The level design is cinematically beautiful to see so much so that there are numerous stages to explore so huge that it will take two hours to finish a single mission. Furthermore, there are three difficulty levels which guarantee a minimum challenge. I will tell you everything is made in an exceptional way and with great care, and in particular the polygonal model of Batman is impressive, very faithful to the film counterpart, equipped with an impressive number of animations, very fluid and convincing. Just look at the cape, how it moves, to be fascinated; the other main characters are also wonderful, Ducard and Jonathan Crane, Falcone and Agent Flass seem just like them. The graphics and sound are at very high levels.. and then let me say: The dubbing in Italian is state of the art.

#JRPGsILove Octopath Traveler

I’d recommend Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler. Its gorgeous and dreamlike art style is everything, plus a good story (you have a chance to explore eight travelers’ life and each of them has different abilities) and incredible music. Also, there are dungeons and caves, in addition to the main quest. It has enough content to keep me playing.

I can't wait for Persona 5 Tactica even with the goofy chibi character models

When Atlus revealed Persona 5 Tactica at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, it caused a bit of a stir among the Persona fan base. On the one hand, it's a new Persona game, and that's awesome! On the other, a lot of fans weren't totally sold on the super-deformed chibi style for the new character models in this spin-off. Well, I can't speak for any other fans, but speaking for myself, I cannot wait.

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.

Playing video games is the best way to go on an adventure

One of the secrets of a great travel experience is finding magic where you least expect it.

These moments are rare, but they can make an ordinary vacation feel like an adventure and leave you feeling like something incredible could happen at any time.

Cartoon Craft is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Studio Nap for mobile devices. This game takes place in a charming, cartoonish world where players must build and manage a small village of cartoon characters, gathering resources, constructing and defenses, and training an army to fend off enemy attacks.

This difficult, old-school RPG has the longest name I’ve ever seen for a video game

SHOULD I PLAY MON-YU? Let me start with a warning: despite the intriguing name and the cutesy character art, Mon-Yu is a hardcore dungeon crawler, something along the same lines as the Etrian Odyssey series. I know I’m not alone in loving that stuff, but I also know it’s not for everyone. If you are someone who also enjoys slowly filling in each square of a grid-based map, and carefully choosing your actions each turn,

Aether Gazer is a well-polished gacha-styled action-rpg that you've probably seen before

If you couldn’t get enough of Honkai: Star Rail and found yourself thinking? Is there something similar that’s worth playing? Aether Gazer could be the game for you. Like Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves, it’s an Action RPG with gacha elements. You can expect to level and collect different characters, get daily rewards for playing, and get new combat abilities that show off the game’s dynamic visuals. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, you’ll be left wanting. Nothing here hasn’t been done in the genre and the overall sci-fi narrative that initially showed promise was generic and confusing. However, if you don’t care about any of that and are just looking for something that looks great and allows you to hack-n-slash and collect heroes, you won’t be disappointed.

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.
