I said it once and I'll say it again: I love Star Wars, but even I will admit that the series has had some missteps throughout the years. The recent shut down of Star Wars Hunters comes to mind, and I think, personally, would've had a better longevitiy if it made it to Steam and Xbox. But, I digress, as that's neither here nor there. Today, I want to focus on a title that came out last year that seems to have been ignored by many and passed off by others: Star Wars Outlaws. It's a pity it got such a weird reception from fans as this is actually a pretty fun Star Wars game, if not one of my favorites.

Every so often, a game comes along that grabs my attention to where I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s not often but it does happen and today’s game is one such game. Not just for how many times I called it BAD Bunny Nemesis (don’t ask me why I did) and not Bunny Battle Nemesis, but for some fun, if basic, gameplay and a neat artstyle that I instantly fell in love with.

I need to make a confession: I have never played an Atlus game before. I’ve certainly heard of them and am familiar with their reputation. It’s hard to exist in the video game space without the name Persona 5 coming up at least once. Metaphor ReFantazio, one of their most recent projects, released less than a year ago to critical acclaim. Garnering numerous accolades and being praised for its story and well designed characters. Even the most successful companies start somewhere though, and it’s interesting to take a look back at that history. Either out of curiosity due to the recent hits, or because a remaster of a lesser known title makes its way into the spotlight. Enter Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Ready for a kooky one? Ruffy and the Riverside is one of the quirkiest games I’ve played in quite a while, and though it took me a bit to warm up to it, once I started to get comfortable in the world, I found myself really appreciating the vision the developers set out to bring to life. Ruffy is an adventurous open world puzzle extravaganza with a kaleidoscope of retro and hand drawn graphical treats to enjoy whilst figuring out its wealth of brain teasing tests sprinkled judiciously around the town of Riverside and its many outlying regions. It’s weird, it’s wildly inventive, and it’s worthy of your time!

Roguelikes are meant to be tough. The best ones are designed in a way that the gameplay loop encourages you to learn as you fail. That is, until your learning becomes so good that you succeed. Then maybe they’ll add on an additional challenge, or another stepping stone. Some even reward you as you progress, making it easier to succeed, eventually. Not all of them do though, and that’s not inherently a fault. Sometimes it’s rewarding to try, try, and try again…as long as things feel fair in the end. Unfortunately, as much as I loved the preview demo I played of Shuffle Tactics, the full experience of the newly released game ratchets up the difficulty with unforgiving randomness when it comes to succeeding in this roguelike genre it firmly sits within.
