Trails from Zero ~ In-Depth Review
Overall Score: +26
-Summary-
This game is really good. Yes, the first half of the game is somewhat more relaxed and almost sim-like, but it builds up the intriguing and epic second half, a second half that shows just how good video game stories can get. This is the best Trails game I’ve reviewed, and although my personal favorite remains Trails in the Sky the 3rd, Trails from Zero is a JRPG classic through and through. You owe it to yourself to play this game if you’re a fan of RPGs.

Lufia 2 ~ In-Depth Review
Overall Score: +12
-Summary-
Lufia 2 is a quintessential 90s JRPG. It does what the golden era JRPGs do and does them pretty well. It even has some surprising twists like a 99-floor roguelike optional dungeon or the skill ring that resets dungeon puzzles. I’d say the motto I have finishing up Lufia 2 is, “I came for the JRPG, I stayed for the excellent puzzles.” Though, that doesn’t paint the full picture. To see a much fuller picture of my experience playing Lufia 2, continue reading the positives and negatives I posited to the game down below!
Trails in the Sky 3 ~ In-Depth Review
Overall Score: +17
-Summary-
… it’s arguably the most character-centric entry in the franchise … Door scenes are tremendous; truly some of the most impressive storytelling across the entire Trails series …Not a lot of grinding in this one, which is great, though the last dungeon is a bit overtuned difficulty-wise … There’s just a ton of variety here, so many builds you can do and teams to try out due to the sheer size of the character roster.

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated ~ In-Depth Review
Overall Score: +4
-Summary-
All in all, rather than being dated and rotted, this pineapple under the sea still has flavor and color to it. It’s not a particularly complex or intricate pineapple, but it’s of good quality and delights. My score of +4 may not seem like too much, but it’s because the game was incredibly consistent in its experience. It’s like a fun smooth ride without too many bumps or exciting hills.

Overall Score: +6
-Summary-
Mega Man 8 is a solid entry in the core series. Being on the PS1 brought advances in the core series not seen up to that point such as voice acting, animated FMV cutscenes, and a general graphical upgrade and polish …
