Toby @ FG We look ahead to a bumper few years of 2D RPGs if you're a Switch owner, and a couple you can play right away.
TSA writes: What could have been the best strength of Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes is its greatest weakness. With the amount of things to do, types of gameplay available, and sheer number of heroes to recruit, the game feels unfocused and inconsistent.
Too much stuff!! 6/10
Ubisoft open world game filled with a million collectibles 9/10
LMFAO!
Ubisoft litters their games with garbage collectibles like tapes, pieces of pottery or document folders like anybody cares. 4 hours of sidequests to put an old jar together.
The hell!? This is maybe one of the best love letters to the golden age of JRPGs.
Thats the problem. Not with the game. But the reviewer. As soon as you see "Nothing gamebreaking" or "nothing new to the genre" or anything like that, you already know the reviewer doesnt know how to not compare the game to other games when writing a review. If you cant judge the game on its own standing, and make a score for that game. Its not worth reading.
Bash it for it's terrible localisation, sure, but everything else is solid gold, it goes back to the golden days of Suikoden.
Another reviewer who doesn't get who this game is for. Tons of unique characters in a deeply lore rich world but the gaming press wants more microtransactions and online modes full of boring customized skins.
Sabotage Studio announced that its beautiful JRPG-inspired pixel art RPG Sea of Stars has passed a relevant milestone and is getting a juicy new mode.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Chucklefish and Shanghai-based indie games developer Pixpil, are today very happy and proud to announce that they have just released the “Octopia” DLC expansion for “Eastward” (their gorgeous BAFTA-nominated 2D adventure game).

Switch has one of my favorite libraries of games since the SNES.
Are any of these games coming to the ps4? I have a switch but prefer to game on ps4. Most of my joycons have the drifting issue so I don't use it much.
