Anthony Culinas FuRyu, Microsoft Windows, NatsumeAtari, Nintendo Switch, NIS America, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Reynatis

Reynatis touts its Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy Versus XIII inspirations proudly, but it doesn’t exactly leave a lasting impression.

Anthony Culinas Acquire, Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, Nippon Ichi Software, NIS America, PlayStation 4, Stealth

Dillon Van Der Putten Disgaea 6, Disgaea 6 Review, Disgaea 6 Switch Review, Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny, Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny Review, NIS America

Disgaea 6 is a fun little tactical RPG that doesn’t take itself seriously. Although a couple of aspects don’t quite hit the mark.
