@fenlix It's a Switch 2 and there's no reason for P3 to run that way other than Atlus not really caring.

For me the cut content, the performance and the game-key card are coming up to a really unimpressive port. Might pick this for PC later.

I don't understand why people hate extra content all of sudden, if you have problem with patching physical games, go full digital.

That being said the level 100 bond cap seems absurd to me, it will take an eternity of grind to get there.

@topsekret Elliot is confirmed to be Game-key card

First time I see 2/10 and 10/10 in the same day of critic reviews

Would be a day 1 buy if it was physical, but I guess I'll just buy it in resale for PC instead.

I actually love this game a lot. It starts off way to easy but once you get level 9s across the board it becomes quite intense and fun.

So the options are either the barely functional Switch 1 version or the waste of plastic pseudo physical Switch 2 version. Guess I'll play S1 version on S2 and hope it's playable.

I wish the last patch of this game didn't render it unplayable, it gets 1 from me for that

@UltimateOtaku91 Dang, hopefully PlayAsia gets an international version

@Solid_Python Where did you get no physical version for the West? All of our retailers still have it listed. If you're right then the game is skip for me unfortunately.

One of very small amount of Kirby games I never got to play, would definitely buy.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown wins the year for me, but The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a close second.

Oh man, that was the only game I was looking forward to this month

I don't understand all the negativity here, Echoes was an amazing game and it's not set in stone that Zelda needs to be a summoner in every game.

I honestly think the game is like 5-6/10 but the ending is like 12/10. So 7 in the end for me.

A lot of the mechanics are outdated, the game plays less like Pheonix Wright and more like those really ancient text based point and click predecessors. Not much happens at all till the ending sequence. You can get anything wrong and it will affect only one of your extras in an undetermined manner, kind of defeats the detective part a bit. Overall the game is really just meh, the ending I won't spoil but it's a masterpiece.

This game would be 9/10 if it didn't take 3 hours to start a new route when there's 7 of them... I finished one and watched the rest on Youtube

I highly recommend it, it's a near perfect series of games hindered only by their technical state in the last years. X breaks this trend and looks much better while also running way smoother.

I don't have the best memories of MP clones, hope this one will be different.

I liked the scene where Link said "IT'S LINKING TIME" and linked.

Basically this is very similar like CryStar, cringy story and godawful one button mashing against billion HP enemies combat, but somehow amazing in every other way.

Wait, I thought there was going to be a physical release. I'm sad now.

@DemonKow I feel like not in a good way, I like Warriors games, but in those you have at least some variety and it's fun how strong you are. In this game every enemy takes million hits from some point of the game, and most of the time you literally hit only a single button, without combos or using specials.

@Ralizah Yeah, as much as I enjoyed YS IX the game was all around a technical disaster, I don't expect X to be particularly better honestly since the PS4 version of IX was also disfunctional. Hopefully their new engine actually works.

@ArcticEcho Depends on what you want from a game, the OST for example is absolutely top class, story is kind of weird but ok, graphics are nothing special.

The problems are that you need to replay a major part of the game 3 times, the maps are completely barren of anything other than enemies, most of the combat is extremely easy and generally resolved by using only a single button, and from some point, everything has billion hp and takes forever to kill on anything other than Easy difficulty

That being said some JRPGs make massive progress between 1st and 2nd installments, like Blue Reflection or Caligula Effect, I'd wait for the reviews for this one.

Looks promising but I advise caution with this. Crystar was probably the most button mashing game I've ever seen.

Would get this game for any other console than Switch if it wasn't a wallet sim since it looks cool. Too bad

I completely forgot I ever played this ! Excited to see it come back

There is no page up for Lovekami -Healing Harem- . Which isn't really a good game at all but I have OCD about not being able to rate it.

This is almost exactly what I've been waiting for with these games except it's still not physical

Oof I'm not sure about this one. I love the games that NIS America brings over but in my eyes Crystar which was also action RPG made by FuRyu is a genuinely a really bad game. I will need to wait for some gameplay videos and reviews for this one.

Release the physical version you cowards !

This game cannot be rated despite already coming out, it's a 4 at best though. Feels like a game that exists solely for an 18+ patch despite actually never having one. Divinity Stage from the same series isn't awful though if you don't mind low budget romance VNs.

This mix of excitement and complete disgust is exactly why I came to this comment section.

I'm willing to give it a chance, Robotics Notes sequel was the worst VN I've ever read but the first one was decent.

Face of a cheater and a lunatic. Great

I disliked this game so much sadly, the OST is stunning and among the best, but the story is kinda dumb and the combat is basically spamming one button over and over against same enemies and bosses that take several hundreds hits to kill despite being mostly harmless. I can't finish this but if there's ever a sequel that fixes the flaws it could be a game I would absolutely adore.

Not really a "hidden gem" but Caligula Effect 2 hasn't been rated, it does not have a NLife page up either so nobody can rate it (which is a shame because I wanted to give it a 9)

Dragon Quest spinoffs are pretty underrated, I loved every single one that I played, probably even more than the main games.

I shipped the game from PlayAsia few months ago (could have saved myself some taxes if I waited smh), it's a flawed and very grindy dungeon crawler, unless you are a really hardcore dungeon crawler fan you will probably not like the game.

I don't know I feel like sequel of this game can be a masterpiece but this game just cumulated too many small mistakes in one place. I honestly think performance is fine compared to vast majority of new Switch games but that just speaks about the console. I personally love the game but I think that obejctively it isn't great, it's a very love it or hate it game I believe.

I can totally imagine another F-Zero track be part of the Mario Kart 8 expansion / Mario Tour to be fair.

Please tell me it does not have out of place awful sex scenes like other Type Moon games.

@Daniel36 There are like 4-5 jokes or moments in the entire series that don't feel appropriate since the characters are like 9 years olds but I don't think it's that bad. I definitely wouldn't call any of them fanservice either I guess.

Made in Abyss are my favourite series of all time and Spike Chunsoft has made some killer games lately, so I can't wait for this one.

If there weren't 9 unfinished Switch games waiting on my table I'd buy it day 1...

This is good enough review for me, both 3 and 4 are among my all time favourites, shame that 80% of new releases have performance issues though.

Alright, but what's Figma ?

That makes me want to play it even more, now only if I'd be able to get my hands on a LRG copy that costs less than 250EUR...

Consdering how extraordinarily worthless Platinum Points were up till this point I think this is actually not a bad change at all.
