Of these, only Wrexial has survived (or more accurately, was resurrected). Monoblack saw multiple iterations with other commanders like Erebos, Ob Nixilis, and Gonti. Ghave went infinite with a sneeze even when I tried tuning it down. Nekusar was just plain mean and didn't feel fun to play.

Dispatch (2025)
Episodic narrative games are back, baby! Following in the footsteps of Telltale Games classics like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Tales from the Borderlands, Dispatch looks like a good next step for the genre. Amazing cast, incredible art style, and awesome story. (21/x)

RV There Yet? (2025)
A fun and chaotic co-op multiplayer game where you have to drive an RV through increasingly insane situations while fighting against wildly janky physics. Played this with some friends online over the course of four-ish play sessions, and somehow, we reached the end. (20/x)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025)
The difficulty spike in Act 3 soured the experience for me a little toward the end (mostly optional endgame content), but this game truly deserves all the praise being laid upon it. Gorgeous art style, amazing soundtrack. This is a must-play for JRPG fans. (19/x)

The Exit 8 (2023)
Don't overlook any anomalies.
If you find anomalies, turn back immediately.
If you don't find anomalies, do not turn back.
To go out from Exit 8.
How such a simple concept for a game can be so utterly unnerving is beyond me. Absolutely worth a try at its price point. (18/x)

This Way Madness Lies (2022)
If you're like me and fit in the middle of the niche venn diagram of people who like Shakespeare, magical girl animes, and 16-bit JRPGs, you are in for a great time. The writing is both incredibly funny and charming, and the combat system is surprisingly robust. (17/x)

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide (2024)
Rising Tide was a much meatier DLC than Echoes, and it was a great capstone to FF16 as a whole. The Leviathan skill tree was unique and fun to use, and the final boss fight against Leviathan himself was as flashy and cinematic as I hoped it would be. (16/x)

Final Fantasy (1987)
Detoured from the latest Final Fantasy game back to the first! I did own this on Wii Virtual Console but never finished it, and decided to pick up the Pixel Remaster on sale. The final showdown with Chaos was no joke, and I can only imagine what it was like back then. (15/x)
