If you're a fan of Persona 5 (don't play this if you haven't played the original Persona 5 or Royal) then you will definitely like this. A chance to see what happens after the events of the main game and an opportunity to go on another mission that expands the wold of the original. The new battle system is top-notch, and resembles the action-oriented battles of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Honestly, I would love if Persona 6 had a more refined version of the battle system in this game. It is so much fun to see the Phantom Thieves move about as they do in the cutscenes of the original game, but this time you're in control. The fusion system has been further simplified in service of removing many hard annoyances, but with the tradeoff of reduced Persona count. I would love to see a sequel to this game with a few small things changed, but as it stands I can heartily recommend this entry.

Regardless of the fact that there is fun to be found in this game, it is obviously unfinished. This game was rushed out for a myriad of reasons and it is not what the developer or publisher promised. CDPR made claims in all of the marketing for this game that are simply untrue of the finished product. If you haven't played it yet, you're better off waiting a couple of years and see where the status of the game is then. In my personal opinion, there are core working of this game that I just don't see them changing, so it may never live up to the expectations that CPDR themselves set for this game.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of my favorite games of all time. It is a mix of a rhythm game, on-rail shooter, and acid-trip fever dream. Incredible soundtrack and incredible visuals. This game is described as a visual music album and that is in fact a great explanation of what it is. An experience that is short to complete the first time, but can be expanded by attempting the hidden achievements and high scores. If you love neon, electro-pop, outrun, and video games (of course), play this.

People joke that this is a "road trip simulator" but honestly, that's not too far off. If you want an rpg that mimics taking an awesome road trip with your closest friends, this is the game for you. Lot's of driving, lots of food, lots of good times, and lots of feels. Give it a shot if you like slow burns.

Just finished Katana Zero after purchasing it on sale for around $10. I enjoyed every minute of it's very short runtime. If you like Hotline Miami, this is a must-play. You will receive the same amount of explanation on the ending however, which is to say, none. The gameplay is tight and brutal, with music that fits the theme well, though it never reaches the height of Hotline's soundtrack. The story is the one aspect in which I would say it surpasses it's inspiration, providing more fleshed-out characters and dialogue options. Recommend.
