REMINISC3 - Not everyone can afford brand new blockbusters at their usual price of $60, or even $40 handheld games. I myself always find myself longing whenever a new entry in my favorite series comes out. But that doesn’t mean that poor people can’t play games at all—they just have to look into the past a little bit. This series is for featuring quality games at an affordable price. Some of them might be famous, some of them might be obscure, but all of them will be enjoyable and less than $10. Click the images to go to their Amazon or Steam page.
TNS: Expedition 33 was the wake-up call Square Enix needed, telling it turn-based RPGs are still popular, but that shouldn't have been the case.
True, but if it does get it through their thick skulls, then that works.
Although, the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD remakes will be turn-based and (the worst kept secret) Final Fantasy IX remake should be turn-based I would imagine. Let's see if any newer games go turn-based too.
While it is true that Sqaure Enix has moved away from turn based games compared to how they were in the past, there is a good reason for it.
Older gamers will know this but during the ps2 era, we were flooded with turned based games from Japanese studios and this created a form of fatigue back then going into the next generation.
When Square released FF13, they received heavy criticism for making the game turned based like every other FF game and not doing enough to innovate. This is why they made FF15, FF7 Remake and FF16 have real time combat. It gave the series a fresh spin and has brought in new fans to the series.
I personally would be happy with either turned based FF or the real-time combat version we see today.
Only need to look at their own game DQ 11 approaching 10 million to show there's a market. And that's not as big of a name as FF
Ruffy and the Riverside is an excellent and incredibly creative platformer with a unique gameplay hook, colorful world and memorable characters.
FromSoftware's multiplayer spin-off of Elden Ring is a fun surprise that works better than expected.
I want to play Sword & Sworcery >: .
biodshock 2 looks good
I'm not that bothered by the $50-60 retail price since I got a steady job. It's just that a solid majority of games I bought were bought for no more than $40.
