Title: Yakuza 0 – 6
Platform: PC
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, SEGA
Summary: The entire Yakuza Kiryu saga is the perfect dose of Masaru manliness + stupid + wholesome content I’ve been hungering since Digimon Savers ended in 2007. So blessed and I will treasure it forever… thank you Ryu Ga Gotoku studio and all involved.

I’m perfectly Smiling face with happy with the ending even if some are salty that it wasn’t some other way in their boohoo headcanons. If anything, I just need more Majima content which will surely happen anyway.

Title: Ni no Kuni 2
Platform: PSP
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: Err I played this sometime early in 2019 I think? I completely forgot to write up a review for it probably because I was too preoccupied with other things later on, nothing particularly big or anything though. I think the game took me around 35-40 hours doing the same as I did for the original game, doing whatever sidequests I could do that didn’t involve too much extra work.

Title: Tales of Berseria テイルズ オブ ベルセリア
Platform: PS3/PS4/PC
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: I’ll admit overall I did like this a bit more than the mess that was Zestiria, but it was still NOWHERE NEAR as good as any of the previous Tales games in most terms x_x; I appreciated some things, but mostly still hated a lot of it. Lists behind the cut…
