Title: Metaphor: ReFantazio
Platform: PC
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: SEGA Atlus
Summary: Long overdue on this since we played it I think early in 2025, but it’s here for posterity!

Characters:

Graphics:

Sound: Probably one if not strongest points of the game~

Replay Value:

Overall: 9/10. I don’t feel the story pacing, game mechanics, or characters really awed me enough to earn it the final point, but it’s most definitely a strong, solid, good game in general.

Title: Digimon Story: Time Stranger デジモンストーリー タイムストレンジャー
Platform: PC
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese, English
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: Finished Digimon Time Stranger with Royal Knights and did the Olympus XII fight, 36 hrs total. Need a replay some year in future cuz I didn’t know I could’ve heard way more shimono hiro if I’d played as the girl until after it was too late
Certain parts definitely are a step up from Cyber Sleuth, but battles suffer pretty much the same typical formula as cyber sleuth so that bums me up, but anyway setting it on Story mode so I don’t bother with that anymore KEKW. It does even have an Invincible mode if you die even under Story mode.
Lot of Personal parallels as usual, and for the first time I finally realized Mirei is basically Igor. lol (more…)

Title: PC – Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Platform: PC
Genre: RPG
Language: English, French
Company: Sandfall Interactive
Summary: at some point you lose hope that people can still make good things until something like this comes

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a great reminder that the best things come when least expected, to the extent that even knowing what the main themes of the story are considered spoiler territory. This is how I like to make my own works too, just go in blind. But also kudos to legit spoiler free guides for stuff like missables that improved our experience in 2025.

Characters:

Graphics:

Sound:

Replay Value:

Overall:
Some minor gripes on this otherwise amazing game:
-White subtitles on white backgrounds
-No minimap, which is probably by all intentions to keep you immersed. Makes the game less accessible, but it’s a choice for certain and… it’s fine for regular re-players cuz it’s a good game for it ;X~

SPOILER TERRITORY UNDER CUT:
