Best known for the Dynasty Warriors games, Omega Force branched out from hack-and-slash to monster-hunting with decent results! There's room to grow (even in this enhanced port) but Switch 2's #WildHearts S is at least fun to co-op.🐉

It has been 11 years since Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth was released in the US. Featuring the cast of Persona 3 and 4 with maze crawling gameplay inspired by Etrian Odyssey, this game hits a lot of buttons that made me want to love it.

It has been 20 years since Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was released. A unique action RPG set in the Castlevania universe whose plot, characters, and lore were heavily adapted for the Netflix anime.

Final Fantasy "II" (but actually IV) was the 2nd in this series out in North America 34 years ago (1991)! 🌙🐋 A dramatic tale across earth, moon, and molten underworld; with a large cast and great OST (it's still one of my fav overworld tracks).

I love when we go back and review a rare Japanese-only RPG from a bygone system. Sometimes it's a new and wonderful gem to discover...!💎 And sometimes it's more diamond in the rough... #Sega Saturn's Wachenröder is the latter.

The Legend of #Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was out 12 years ago (2013) for the 3DS! (...And sadly remains stranded there.) ALBW is a seriously well-paced and fun title in this long-running series. It's a little easy – but breezy, and fun. 🍃

Square Enix is proud of their music –so much that they have a record label devoted to compilations, OSTs, guest works, and more. The SQ series is an array of different and dynamic arrangements and Pat's reviewed the collection –and you can too!♫

The Tales subreddit is having fun with #Talesof Berseria Remaster news! (And yeah, I laughed too 🤭😅). Berseria is one of the better regarded games, but was already available on current systems; and they seems to be holding off on Zestiria ...And many other classic Tales titles. :(

Square Enix has a pretty fine Black Friday lineup on #Steam! With lots of #FinalFantasy, #DragonQuest, and many more – but I'd say one of the best deals is the FF7 Remake + Rebirth twin-pack for ~$60. ☄️

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released in the US 14 years ago today! With great design, the first fully orchestrated soundtrack in a Zelda game, and precise motion controlled sword-fighting, this is a classic that shouldn't be overlooked.

It has been 18 years since Square released The Last Remnant. This game takes on a unique combination of strategy and traditional JRPG gameplay in a very Ivalice-esque world. Organize units, guide tactics, and issue commands as you fight to save the world.
