It is good, but you might as well wait until it comes to steam.

impsensus (imp consensus) is that it's one of like 3 decent games to come out in the latter half of 2014 and the rest of the games that came out at that time were so poo poo that it was just really really good in comparison

Is the Lufia 2 remake on the DS any good? Local store has a used copy.

I really enjoyed 2 on the SNES and the Ancient Cave took up way too much of my time.

It's completely changed and not for the better.

Hope you like generic action RPGs.

It was vastly better than anyone expected it to be. Idk how much it costs on steam right now but I'd say buy it for around $30-40

Sparkster is a novel game but the only thing it shares with sonic is being a platformer rodent who can go fast in bursts. The remake is not as good in my opinion and the sequel changes a lot of stuff up.

D4 is a decent mystery adventure game (take that as the faint praise it is) that is surprisingly good with Kinect. You'll still use a controller mind you. If you dig point and click and supernatural mysteries that very badly want to be creepier and more surreal then they are its a must download for free this month.

It keeps showing up on my Steam and I read some of the user reviews and it sounds kind of flat. Like you just memorize likes/dislikes and then play some match 3 game. Some people said the writing was okay? I don't know. It sounds pretty meh for a dating sim but I've never really played one so I have no frame of reference.

It seems rad but it's still 60 dollars on steam for some reason, I'll be waiting for the next sale

Rocket Knight Adventures is good.

The two different games called Sparkster are not as good.

The 2.5D game called Rocket Knight is okay.

None of them are like Sonic.

So Update on D4: Lol this game is never going to be finished and it ends on a cliffhanger so early you can't make heads or tails of the story. Sorry, Swery, nobody has a Bone and gives a poo poo about this game.

I didn't play aj, but I kinda liked the edgeworth games, the first one at least. they were super easy, but it's a nice diversion from pw since people treat the protag like he's competent.

I understand that a lot of people don't care for the investigation games, tho.

The third one is the best, IMO. It has kind of a slow start but cases 4 and 5 are super epic. Apollo Justice isn't bad but it doesn't live up to the rest of the series and in the overarching plot Phoenix really overshadows Apollo. The Edgeworth games are fun but it starts to get a little contrived towards the end of the first one.

The edgeworth games are presented more like point and click adventures. Still the same linear storytelling though, with obligatory flashback case, so ymmv if phoenix wright is already wearing thin. You rarely actually step inside a courtroom and most of the gameplay is investigating crime scenes and trying to deduce the culprit.

Either Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne if you can snag a copy or Shin Megami Tensei 4 if you want an easier experience with a lot more quality of life improvements*

I've never played persona and have never seen anything remotely convincing. Sell it.
