The Legend of #Zelda: Breath of the Wild was out 9 years ago (2017)! With an impressive and detailed open-world, adventurers could slowly explore Hyrule and uncover its many secrets and treasures in this expansive entry. πŸƒ

The dedicated fans of the Dreamcast subreddit recently voted on a numerous "bests" for the classic console – and of course, there's a several categories for RPGs! πŸ’š The system had numerous hits & hidden gems; and I've personally loved playing a bunch of these myself. SO ENJOY.

Drakengard was out 22 years ago (2004)! Hack-and-slash on land and Ace Combat in the sky – it's crazy repetitive BUT this dark and broken cast keeps you coming back for punishment... so we can all going insane together.❀

Esoteric Ebb makes no secret to its inspirations, and it does the its Disco-like well (but swapping neo-noir for a medieval fantasy setting). It does so well, too, but admittedly does better when it lets its own ideas reign. πŸ‘‘

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was out 2 years ago (in 2024)! β˜„οΈ Packed with enough content and minigames it felt like a theme park (even outside the actual theme park); Square went above and beyond remaking the 2/3rd stretch of the original PS1 game.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time was first out 23 years ago (2003)! A packed sci-fi action-RPG with a higher difficulty curve, but helped by deep customization, item creation, and infamous MP Death (I personally loved that kinda friction!). ⭐🌊

Bluepoint had pitched the Bloodborne remake; FromSoftware Turned it Down

Bluepoint had pitched the Bloodborne remake; FromSoftware Turned it Down

According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier: One of Bluepoint's pitches was indeed a Bloodborne remake, but PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida theorized that Hidetaka Miyazaki had plans of his own for that particular title. πŸ”” Hopefully we find out one day! (repost!)

Traditional mixed media painting showing a forest scene. There's a stream in the middle, with a fallen tree trunk acting as a bridge over it, with Pikachu and Eevee running through it, and Charmander clinging to the trunk behind them. In front of them, Bulbasaur stands on a rock in the stream, with Squirtle splashing around in the water, the two enjoying themselves. Various bug Pokemon can be seen in the distance: Weedle, Kakuna and Caterpie on trees, and two Butterfree flying around.

#Xenosaga Episode 1 was out 23 years ago (in 2003)! πŸ‘ With astounding music (when it was there), a layered story, and the start of Monolith Soft's heavy cinematic approach to create an intriguing sci-fi drama with intergalactic stakes.

A Game Boy Color game?! In 2026?! βš”οΈ That's right! And it's not even a retro-throwback, but the once-cancelled and revived 'Infinity'. And for the hardware its running on, it's impressive.

The Legend of Heroes Trails series is a big undertaking: ~15 games means you're looking at about 1000 hours of gameplay! It took overseas fans some time to catch-up, but we did, and Scott's got thoughts! ...But they're largely positive.🌺
