Trails of Cold Steel IV contains both my favorite moments of the Erebonia arc, and my least favorite moments of the arc. This game sold me on Fie after not really liking her for three games, but other parts of the game like the handling of past series protagonists just fell flat. Relationships between characters that were forming during Cold Steel III were offered up on the altar of the Mean Rean Machine's ever-growing harem, but at least Falcom knew to limit his conquest to characters from the Erebonia arc.

Free camera control is nice, but it's basically the same game as the original.

I don't know if I prefer this version to the original or not, but LA is still a fantastic 2D Zelda game.

Eat the car. Become the car. Use the car to tour a lost civilization and bear witness to mankind's hubris.

The game was kind of disappointing at release, but being able to play as basically every character in the series is really cool.

This game goes from "Oh hey that's a pretty neat way to use the mechanics of classic JRPGs" to "Holy shit" real fast.

The story and characters really carry the game, which is sad since there's the potential for a neat combat system here. You explore dungeons from a top-down perspective, but the battles are from a side-scrolling perspective and it plays like an action-RPG , but even on harder difficulties you never need to do more than spam charged attacks to win.

Metroid is finally the main character.

Having to trade miis through codes instead of being able to share them through NSO/Nintendo Network like you could do in the 3DS game kind of sucks, but it's still a fun time with a surprisingly good soundtrack.

The true Wings of Ruin were the friends we made along the way.

I can't believe they made Shibuya from the hit video game NEO: The World Ends With You into a real city.

Yeah the gameplay is entirely taking pictures of pokemon, but there are a lot of pokemon to take pictures of.

The first video game to feature the Arsenal from the hit Marvelous action game Daemon x Machina.

BDSP are kind of bad remakes of kind of good Pokemon games. I would have liked to see some of the Platinum content, but I still enjoyed going back through Sinnoh.
