Imaginative or uninspired?
After a slate of HD-2D remakes, Dragon Quest has brought another of its past entries into the modern era, this time with a doll-like, diorama-style 3D look in Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined.
This complete overhaul of the 2000 PlayStation RPG, which also came out on the 3DS in 2013 and 2016 (Japan and the West respectively) delivers a streamlined version of one of the longest games in the series, smoothing out the pacing, improving combat, making battles faster, and even cutting a few “optional” scenarios.

Daddy issues.
I’m of the opinion that there are no bad Yakuza games. Although the series has definitely fluctuated in quality over the years, they always offer up something to keep me engaged and satisfied. Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is still a decent entry, but it’s also bloated, poorly paced, and marred in controversy surrounding the recasting of a key character. Frankly, I’d argue that RGG’s prolificacy is starting to have an impact on the quality of its games, and it might be time to take a break.
Much like the previous Kiwami titles, this is a remake of the 2009 PS3 original, continuing the story of protagonist Kazuma Kiryu as the story shifts over to the new location of Downtown Ryukyu in Okinawa. The new setting offers a nice change of pace, leaning more towards a kind of tropical, resort-style environment. At a glance, it’s lovely to look at with the series’ signature attention to detail all intact, though you might be wondering whether the lighting issues from the demo have been addressed.
