Tales of Graces F proves that you dont need a necessarily great story to be a great game.
The story is chessy and kinda nonsensical in many areas, however the character chemistry, gameplay and music completely make it up.
It's truly is a game made with fun and passion that many modern JRPGs lack.
Hopefully this get released for modern consoles/PC as more people should experience this wonderful gem of a JRPG.

One of the most tragic and most impactful games I've ever played.
Aside from some dated game mechanics, Persona 3 is a masterclass of atmosphere, story/character writing and attention to detail.
I wished this was released for modern consoles instead of the very inferior portable edition.

What a cash grabbing hollow train-wreck this was.
As someone who loved the Dragon Quest Adventure of Dai anime, this was a massive letdown.
Aside the charming artstyle, the game feels like a throwaway low budget hack and slash game that you find in 7th gen, that somehow cost £50.
Very repetitive gameplay, a story doesn't even adapt the full story, let alone tell it properly.
Just save your hard earned cash and play something else instead.
Truly a soulless embarrassment.

It's crazy how outdated and slow Pokemon Diamond and Pearl has become over the years.
I love the Sinnoh Region, the majority of the new Pokemon introduced as the introduction of Wifi and the physical and special split, but that's about it.
Content and gameplay wise it has aged like milk.
It has the worst designed Pokedex selection in the series (Only two fire types and half of the new Pokemon are locked until post game)
The game engine is slow and delayed.
Story isn't as interesting and fun compared to Platinum.
Terrible level curves.
Poor pacing and game design in various points especially in the mid game.
Don't let nostalgia fully blind you.
In the end just play Pokemon Platinum instead.

Compile Heart's Magnum Opus.
Compile Hearts may have a unfavourable reputation towards JRPG's fans due to low effort and repetitive nature, however every once in a while they can something exceptionally good to excellent and Fairy Fencer F Advert Dark Force is easily the best game that Compile Hearts has done.
Granted it's kinda repetitive at times, and one of the routes, writing wise isn't the best, however it's makes up for everything else.
The character dynamics and humor are phenomenal that made me care of almost every character.
Story is nicely written and engaging for the majority of it.
Good voice acting for both languages, excellent soundtrack, decent gameplay visuals.
One of the best and most underrated JRPGs to come out of the PS4.

Well I can definitely say that it has aged like rotten milk.
As much I like Spongebob Squarepants growing up, this was such a terrible and janky attempt to bring the franchise to life for gaming.
Just play Battle Of The Bikini Bottom or the Movie Game instead and don't bother with this one.

While not as consistently funny and well written as Fairy Fencer F, Megadimeion Neptunia is still a nicely well crafted game that's fun and memorable to play.
That's saying a lot given how much Compile Hearts have fallen since 2017 onwards.
Well defined and memorable characters especially Uzume.
A soildly written storyline.
Decent visuals.
Good gameplay if a bit grindy and punishing at times.
Amazing sci-fi futuristic soundtrack.
Overall an exceptionally great and game to the PS4/PS5 library of JRPGs.

Not as bad as many people say it is.
Yeah, the level desgin isn't that great and significantly grabs the game down, however the story, characters and to a less extent combat carry the game.
It's nice to a full fleshed adult cast well be adults, tacking dark subject matter instead of seeing another uninspired teen power fantasy story with the power of friends speeches.
A charmingly fun, but flawed game.
Pick it up when it goes on sale alongside the DLCs.

While not reaching the same emotional highs of Persona 3 FES, Persona 4 is still a exceptionally fantastic game that is made with fun and passion.
Sure certain elements may not aged well and Teddie while not as horrid as P5's Morgana was still annoying, Persona 4 excels in atmosphere, humor and character writing and chemistry
Gameplay is great, but can be repetitive at times.
Fantastic soundtrack.
Overall a fantastic game that made me, laugh, cry and smile.

Pokemon Platinum saved Sinnoh as well Gen 4 as a whole.

A very boring and empty game that has aged like milk.
Good ideas, but poor execution.
I don't think I will bother with the squeals.

One of the most embarrassing and creative bankrupt games to come from this decade of video games
I love Saints Row to bits especially 2 and The Third, but this was a disgrace to the franchise.
Unpolished visuals that feel like they came out of 7th gen game, numerous game bugs, horrid attempt of humor on par with Borderlands 3, poor game design.
Just a shallow game that lacks substance and fun.

This is a certified we have Splatoon at home moment and that's perfectly okay XD.
A excellent gateway entry to the Trails franchise. I became a fan of the franchise thanks to this entry XD
The weakest Trails games in terms of writing and pacing.
It's a rough game to get through, but it isn't as horrid as many people say it is.
It has fantastic moments and great ideas which were nicely executed.
I just wish the second half was cut down in half by removing all the filler in Act 2.
Thank for high speed mode for the PS4 versions.
