Gaiden is action game, but Yakuza 8 is turn based.

Octopath Path games are received very well too.

Dunno how you feel about gacha but I would highly recommend Honkai Star Rail. Been playing since release and the game is chock full of content right now and we’re on the cusp of one of the coolest characters coming out too, how can you say no to a mech + waifu??

Unicorn Overlord is awesome! I played for over 75 hours of that game and I don't like SRPGs that much. Vanillaware are on their own lane 😀

I forgot SMT came out on Friday. The multiplat strategy from Atlus is not looking too good. Less than 20k playing on Steam 😬

The peak is 21,749 😬

Game Pass Day 1 on all their games did too much damage, now people just wait.

The art, music are great and the strategy is cool evolution of Advanced Wars with unit building.
Also reqruiting and "saving" people is somehow dependant on your actions.
But at some point you find out the board wiping moves and how to cheese them😅 and the game becomes easy.

I found a combo of shaman + Berengaria +landsknecht steamrolled pretty much anything but yeah there are so many OP combinations that you can theory craft for, Awesome game for people who like pulling of insane combos and 1 turn kills

Do you like crafting?
Atelier series is a nice palette cleanser. I would recommend Sophie/Sophie 2 for more engaging crafting.

Will check it out, I like 8/16bit era.
You'll enjoy it. The characters are balanced and unique, the power levelling scales perfectly and the plot twists are fun.
The last one got me right in the feels, something a game hasn't done since the commander Shepherd smile.

If marrying Waifu isn’t important:
Digital Devil Saga (underrated)
Golden Sun (GBA)
Tales of Eternia (PSP)

Do you own a saturn or saturn emulator:
Shinining Force 3 or Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Something a bit different:
Parasite Eve
Shadow Hearts ( I think 2 was the best, I cant remember )

You Want to Waifu Waifu? - Fire Emblem 3 Houses
