Particle Heart’s narrative is very loose and cryptic, allowing the player to perceive it as they please. The game instead focuses more on exploration and puzzle-solving than on the story line, but what a wonderful world to explore.

Cladun X3 is another 16-bit dungeon crawler that provides all the dungeon running, monster destroying, gold grabbing, level grinding goodness you would expect, but there is much more. And the “more” will either make or break the game for you.

Persona 3 Reload is a blast from start to finish, maintaining a balance and focus that many less ambitious adventures have trouble executing. It’s not a title I’d recommend to everyone, but those who are open to its concepts will be thrilled.

In my review of 2021’s Rise Eterna, I stated, “…the ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying. It felt tacked on, as if they were going to set up a sequel (which I’d like to see), then bailed.” Well, that sequel is now here with Rise Eterna 2, and it’s a solid improvement over the original.

HYKE: Northern Light(s) is about “witches, camping, and an adventure across the world.” I’m interested in only one of those things, but I gave this action RPG a go nonetheless. I’m happy to say it has its moments, but how many of those will depend upon what you want from it.
