The first batch of the Pixel Remaster series of Final Fantasy games are now out, and while in many regards they are good versions of these historic games, some aspects and issues hold them back from being the best ways to experience them.

NEO: The World Ends With You Review
NEO: The World Ends With You does a wonderful job recapturing what made this formula work so well on the DS, but in a more approachable way.

This love letter to classic JRPGs has a lot of heart & charm, but is a bit rough around the edges.

World's End Club comes from a legacy of murder mystery visual novels. However, this lighthearted successor doesn't quite meet the same standard. A wholesome but underwhelming tale.

Using the Super Reincarnation spell, Zed reincarnates into different worlds taking the most optimal path to success until he achieves his wish of defeating the God of Destruction.

Scarlet Nexus contains just about everything you’d want to see from a new game IP. Clear ambition, innovative gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and room to improve. A lot of room to improve, but it's still a commendable effort.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Episode Intermission Review
Yuffie’s episode is thrilling fan-service and a welcome slice of more of the same for fans of FF7 Remake, but it's also easily skippable.

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster Review
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is a fantastic RPG, but its remaster does the bare minimum to get a passing grade compared to other modern remasters of classics.

New Pokemon Snap is (almost) just more of the same, but it's those small changes that hold it back from true greatness.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review
Pioneers of Olive Town is an awkward entry that doesn't move the series forward.
by Nathan Lee on 03 May, 2021
An extremely repetitive third-person shooter(?) that accomplishes little.
