I can't think of a series more underappreciated than that of Yo-Kai Watch, and now that the series has been discontinued in the west for a couple years now, words cannot describe how much I miss it. With Level-5's recent projects confirmed to be getting worldwide releases, I'm praying for the series's eventual return.

Anyways, as much as I enjoy the first installment and respect the third, neither of them come close to the absolute masterpiece that is Yo-Kai Watch 2. The game was split into three separate versions a la Pokémon, so I decided to go with its "definitive edition" in Psychic Specters. The original's slice-of-life formula has transformed into a grand adventure through time, befriending the game's many different Yo-Kai along the way.

Playing this game is like wearing a warm blanket and drinking hot chocolate, it's as charming as it is unbelievably cozy every time. There's an ungodly amount of content, damn near everything from the first game is back in all its glory, even something as minuscule as ranking up your titular Yo-Kai Watch sticks out in my mind as unbelievably satisfying. If you can somehow get your hands on it, you can't go wrong with this game.
