Easily one of Atlus's best games of the last few years. The time management and style of modern Persona + the press turn system and dungeon crawling of Shin Megami Tensei = a game I never knew I wanted but am very much glad we got. Genuinely hoping Atlus makes more games in this style.

amazing fighting game, still looks and feels great to play even after this long. once you've played this game all other fighting games will feel too simple. can't wait for tekken 8

This like vampire survivor but better

Absolute treat of a game, a breath of fresh air considering the state of the games industry. Not only is this worth ever cent, it's also half the price of most games nowadays while still having just as much (if not more) content. The entire OST is a banger even not counting the licensed tracks, the art style is amazing, the gameplay is very satisfying and the story reminds of the good old saturday morning cartoons. A must play for fans of spectacle fighters and rhythm games.

Absolutely one of, if not the best FROMSOFT game ever made. It's good to know there's still games coming out for those of us that like these kinds of punishing but rewarding experiences. Like its predecessors, Elden Ring asks you for a very simple task: take your time, watch the enemy, learn its patterns and exploit their weaknesses. Playing it slow and knowing when to switch between going in to attack and backing off to defend are key to success while being reckless and mashing buttons hoping to get results will only get you killed. However, unlike other souls games, this time you also have a new option: retreating and going somewhere else in hopes of finding better tools. It seems like such a small addition on paper but it completely changes the dynamics of the game and offers a lot more player agency. While absolutely not recommended as one's first game, it's definitely the best souls game to start with and highly recommended for players that enjoy tougher experiences.

Very good JRPG with a style to die for. The story is good, despite the very lackluster endgame twist. Shame ATLUS removed the Raidou DLC costumes, they could absolutely have given it separately like with SMT3 but i guess that was not possible somehow...

Inti Creates are the kings of 2D action platformers. It is my headcanon that Capcom no longer makes new Megaman games because they know they can't compete with Inti. Big shame that this series still isn't widely known. GV2 overall is a massive improvement over GV1. Playing as GV feels better than ever (thank you based Inti for adding Crashbolt and Dragon Sphere so we don't feel bad about not using skills on the minibosses) and Copen gives a very welcome new playstyle. Challenges are now actually tolerable although i'd still prefer that the harder versions of the challenges would be automatically cleared if you got the requirements for them on the easier versions instead of having to replay the stage for each one. Other than that, the game is amazing and highly recommended for anyone that enjoyed the old Megaman games, especially the Zero and ZX series.

extremely fun and a surprising amount of content for such a cheap game, all the extra characters would be microtransactions on a AAA game. 10/10

is good
