From once being an uninterested fella to taking the Yakuza world matters to his personal interest, the man who erased his name evolved a lot after being reborn giving up his prior lifestyles and all things once he achieved.
More preferred term, it's Rose like a Phoenix. More savage yet equally refined now taking his personal feelings into the clan and other worldly matters. After given a second chance he gave up his life meditating inside a temple, but his fate had already decided some greater things he is destined to accomplish.

The gameplay has kept it's Yakuza style signature. Say it world design, combat systems, interactions and all the side hustles. The Akame network is troublesome, forcing you to run errands and fulfilling the needs of all types of people. You can take hours to grind or follow the main quests.

The grand Colosseum is majestic and attracts lot of fighters. It also allows you to recruit new fighters on your side. However the brawling challenges are ridiculous throwing some unrealistic opponents and thus may force you to hit at max stats to beat'em all. Lots of cash burning follows this process. It has a rank system from Silver all the way to the Platinum to access all the arenas.

Joryu the main character is mainly depicted as a saint once again involving into clan matters while being backed up by his own Dojima.

Ryu Ga studios did well crafting this part of story of Yakuza series.

Fun game, requires a significant brain usage ( •︠ ͜ʖ ︡•)

The plot is well written. It's for mature audience and one can relate well if they are/were in a relationship. There will be a few spine chilling experiences with the ex-lover (possessed ghost) of the male protagonist.
You can complete this game in a one go. However I was taking time and reading all the letters scattered around the house to establish a deeper understanding of the protagonist's past situation.
Crimson Snow is a horror genre where the possessed female is trying to get back what she has lost.

Overall I enjoyed this game and in my opinion this is the best time to try this out as Xmas is near.
Imagine you are celebrating Xmas with your girl who is possessed and highly obsessed with you!!

Game has a bit Optimisation issue else everything about Ghostrunner 2 is a 'One More Level' up from it's predecessor.
New variety of cyborg enemies, abilities and environment is a bliss to witness with a great soundtrack.

If ever you had felt the environment and game mechanics is a bit repetitive in Ghostrunner 1, Devs have taken care of this issue too. There is something new to explore and it's massive.

The new ability Upgrade system looks more realistic and provides diverse range of perks/abilities. You can even upgrade your BIKE!! .

The main story is awesome and will keep you hooked up to the plot if you listen their dialogues attentively. Voice acting and other SFX is smooth.

New race of Cybervoid enemies from the Dharma Tower that were never known to exist have appeared suddenly and they are on the edge to erase the race of Ghostrunners and you are called to defend yourself and the leftovers at the City.

👍 I can highly recommend this game especially if you have played GR1. 👌

So are you enjoying?

Back then you needed to turn On gens to escape now you need to turn it Off to escape.
Times have changed ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Beautiful game. Atlas Fallen is a hardcore action based RPG title where the story entirely revolves around the mythological age.
It will catch your interest once you have explored a few locations of the world. Terrains, textures and the Map are well designed. At times, quests are hard to pin point in the map. Once you become proficient with the Navigation mode it won't be an issue.
There is an awesome and unique feature this game gives - Sand sliding. I was enjoying it a lot.
Each city and some inhabitable place offers a set of new idols, perks, ruins and essence stones which help you to craft items & upgrade armour. I will be honest here enemies are hard to fight. They are huge and graceful creatures who are tough to kill but you can always avoid them unless they fall into your main quest.
Atlas Fallen's world is massive and spawn rate of creatures is 'High'.
Character design is fine so are the SFX, voice acting, dialogues, power surge/hitting/sliding VFX and emotions of all NPCs. One thing which lacks is in-game animation. Devs haven't put much details to it. This often fails to give clarity on the ongoing situation.
If you're new to RPG this game may throw you to the ocean of unanswered questions which shall be overcome with some grinding. I can positively recommend this game to all explorers & RPG lovers out there.

I do not understand this game. I mean the objectives.

Lost Judgement the next series of Judgement continues with Tak's ability of deducing & reasoning situation once again but in a new city. And brings a new story too.
The game is a bit step down from it's predecessor in terms of Music, Mobile UI flexibility, Combat and Street ambience.
Now when talk about Combat particularly there are new sets of extra Martial Arts but they feel sloppy and unresponsive at times. There is a possible input lag.
The game has an optimisation issues as well, there's a noticeable frame drops which occurs at 1440p resolutions and at 1080p too. While the first game didn't have any.

The story however is equally good. If coming from the first/legacy Judgement the story will hook you up this time too. If you're playing this one prior to the first game, then you should check the Legacy Judgement first.

Ignoring those issues, you will enjoy this game just like the first one.

Assets are well designed. I didn't jerk off for weeks and now...aahh feeling so weak & tired!!

It has such an interesting plot with a great story. No wonder why Japanese studios always deliver the best of best RPG amongst all. No matter if it's an anime or a game.
