Fantasy Maiden Wars.
A Touhou experience that takes the Touhou stories as its base and weaving its own sequence of events in a natural way. The usage of characters and Touhou lore are done incredibly well. Honestly, this feels like a love letter to Touhou fans by fans. A must play for Touhou fans.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
A very different battle system compared to past Yakuza entries, but also very much in character with Ichiban's beliefs and way of life. Sub-stories are Amazing and probably the most I've been entertained in the franchise. Good story, great fun characters.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter.
Beautifully done Remake of an already unforgettable journey. Tons of love and care are put into this and I'm very much happy with some of the scenes recreated in this remake. Only nitpick I have is towards localization's terminology inconsistency.

Metaphor Refantazio.
I adore this greatly. The characters, storytelling, and music is made with tons of love by the devs. This is a fantasy worth experiencing and it is certainly a high recommendation for me when it comes to RPGs.

Yakuza 0.
The beginning of Kiryu and Goro's journey towards being a legend. I quite enjoyed this one a bit too much as the story and characters are very interesting to witness.
Plenty of mini-games and entertaining sub-stories making this perhaps my favorite of the series.

Tales of Xillia 2.
New and returning casts are fun to hang around with, combat gets incredibly fun as you unlock your entire arsenal and party. Exploration however does feel kinda dull.
Overall, I quite enjoyed this. Ending leaves you with a heavy heart.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life.
Personally love the story of Yakuza 6 among the others by far. Kiryu's camaraderie with his acquaintances, the secrecy of the plot unfolding, and familial themes it presents makes this very enjoyable for me.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy.
Many choices leading to 100 Endings. Cast takes some time to warm up to you. There are some ending I didn't like as much, but the rest ranges from good to Amazing. Definitely require breaks in between if you are gunning for all 100 Endings.

If there's a VN you had to choose, definitely give Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy a go. It's very satisfying to see actual difference of events with the choices you choose. It's really good.

Yakuza 5 Remastered.
Had a good time going through this. There are slow moments, but the ending is pretty touching. Mini-game variety are many with some integrated with the characters. This is certainly one Yakuza title that I find myself doing more mini-game stuff compared to predecessor.

Spirit of Sanada.
A worthy chronicle to experience. It's a shame the PC port is terrible, yet runs fine on SteamDeck. It's Samurai Warrior 4 that focuses on the exploits of the Sanada Clan's survival. Battles are fun, though has a shorter time limit and the new music is fantastic.

This needs a remake badly. I would love to see this in Origin's engine. Large scale events such as Nagashino and Sekigahara would be a delight to witness.

Trails through Daybreak 2.
It's not bad, but more so confusing. It feels like a title that emphasize more on setting up pieces for future Trails to work upon. Not too keen on the Genesis storytelling in overall, though the Character Connection events are really well written. Shizuna best character.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
Puzzle elements and writing is exceptionally enjoyable. The mystery also keeps you engage to wanting to find the truth. Puzzle offers some critical thinking to solve, but not so difficult that frustrates you to look up solution online. Missile is best boy.
