The word “longevity” has been in my vocabulary a lot recently, as I’ve been sinking in quite literally hundreds of hours into Baldur’s Gate 3. The game will undoubtedly be something I return to down the road over and over, like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. They all have something special, and revisiting them is a major dip into nostalgia. Not to mention there are new things for me to discover each time I play … even though I end up going through with the same romances a lot of the time.
Kotaku: "It was another great year for making the numbers go up and romancing our favorite NPCs."
“It's time for one of my favourite annual round-ups: our RPG of the Year Awards so here are this year's best RPGs in 11 distinct categories.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Hands down. Star ocean 2 remake. Shame it didn't make it to any of their lists. One other thing imo sea of stars was better then chained echoes.
Excellent choices! Both are great games that we considered but Chained Echoes edged out Sea of Stars by a hair and Star Ocean 2 almost made the cut. There were so many phenomenal RPGs this year that some tough decisions had to be made; that's for sure! 😅
No mention of Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. That's ridiculous. One of the best dlc ever.
Absolutely! And thanks for your feedback - we will consider an award for DLC next year.
Fire Emblem Engage Original Soundtrack revealed with standard edition and limited edition. Pre-orders are open now.
The jokes about colgate-chan lasted longer
The gameplay is the best in the business but Engage banked so much on nostalgic appeal that I never felt anything more than Fire Emblem Heroes on steroids vibes from the marketing.
Fire Emblem does benefit from nostalgia but to rely on it completely is irritating
I really liked this a lot. It didn’t hit as hard for me as Three Houses, but I’m super happy it was made.
Felt like nobody talked about this game at all after a day or two lol.
