I already got Yakuza 6 an Record of the Lodoss War, maybe I'll buy R-Type Final 2 if the price regional price is good.

 

[Parsnip]

Nothing new is jumping at me, which is kind of surprising. Usually there are at least a few new wishlist items for me in these.

Cheers for the thread Tizoc

I have a fair few games on the go at the mo so probably not going to pick anything up this month. Maybe Rome remastered.

Thanks for the thread!

I'll be getting Nier of course, but no idea when I'll get to it.

I'm currently into my personal playthrough of Trails of Cold Steel 4, and it reminded me of two things:

• How much more "complete" these games feel as JRPGs compared to most offerings on the market today. From the battle system over the story and cast to the various character building and equipment system and even more frivulous things like minigames.
• How long they are, especially if you have a completionist streak.

It's always nice to play a JRPG port where there isn't too much to complain about on a technical level though

Had no idea Nier was coming out this month. That is great. Always wanted to play the original, but after Nier Automata, that delay won't take much longer.
Just sad we aren't getting the "Papa Nier" version. It was always the one that interested me the most because it was the most unique take on this type of stories.

 

[ExistentialThought]

Picked a few of these up like Everhood, Echolocation, and Twilight Town, though have been too busy to try them out.

Really Interested in the themed Dread Collection. Also looking forward to Nier, R Type, and ETS2 Iberia.

Updated thread title.

 

[Prodigy]

100% getting Nier and many more that I'll keep my eye on.

Also lol, I read farm manager as farm simulator and thought, wow they are shaking up that game into a different genre, people wont be happy.

 

[MegaApple]

Another great thread!

Ooh didn't know Tiny Room Stories got a PC release. Guess this means the game is finally complete? New chapters were still being developed on Android last I checked (many months ago), but I did enjoy what had been released so far. It's a pretty decent point-and-click escape room. Less moon logic and more piecing together environmental clues to solve codes and puzzles. Time to revisit the game.

 

[Mimosa]

I'll be picking up R-Type Final II. I didn't realize that Wonder Labyrinth got a full release. I'll have to check the game out now. I'm also interested in Trails of Cold Steel IV, but I still the to finish II and III.

Also... Those DX Atelier games are basically complete editions with some extras? Hopefully they update some of the assets for those games that were used in the PS4 version.


Edit: Oh I forgot about Nier too. Picking that up day one as well.

Yup

Plus QoL features to make the game less tedious

Considering how much DLC some of the Atelier games get, the DX versions should be quite the steals if they have everything. Like, the regular Lydie & Suelle is still full price, and has a 80€ season pass. The DX versions says "Lots of previously released DLC", so does it have it all? I don't know. But it's bound to be a better deal than 140€ for the old version + season pass.

Damn lots of DLC, definately will check it out if it does include everything. I need Paradox to do this with their games, or Sega to do a bundle for Warhammer 1+2 with all dlc before 3 comes out.

Tempted by Rome Total War remastered, as you do get a 50% discount as a previous owner so the price is more reasonable.
Also got Yakuza 6 Remastered. Really looking forward to getting to that one after Yakuza 5 remastered, which has been great so far!
