Star Shift
The year is 2357. Humans have explored the stars and colonized many worlds under the authority of the Earth Systems Alliance (ESA), a government controlled by powerful interstellar organizations. An alliance in name only, it is in reality, a brutal empire.
The Earth Systems Alliance (ESA) is embroiled in a civil war with a faction known as the Novus Federation. They are made up of former ESA colonists, corporations and military personnel who oppose Alliance rule and actively undermine ESA activities.
Both sides have committed war crimes on civilian populations. This has destabilized the balance of power in the region, creating chaos.

GREAT RPG! The graphics are classic and the music is catchy. The storyline itself is story-rich and the puzzles are just like good old RPG’s I grew up with. Definitely a game I will remember.

The game is good and I definitely recommend it, but one problem I encountered with the game, is that when you are in that pod thing with Dez and she asks you if you would like to watch the tutorial, say no. Saying yes will freeze the game in the sense of no buttons on the controller nor any keys on the keyboard, will make the game work anymore.

Hate Free Heroes RPG 3.0 [Upgrading to 3D and Leaving Steam / Final Sale]
I saw that this game had low reviews: so I felt bad for it. As I started playing it, I realized it was optimized for mobile as well, so that made more sense as to where all the reviews may have went. That aside… the game is actually: GREAT! Yeah! It made me feel like a really good RPG player lol. The tutorial teaches you only one button (Hah! For PC). Easiest tutorial ever! There is even an MP3 player function in this game to listen to some fun tunes!!! “Survive the Night” was my favorite! It was a must listen to everywhere the characters went. So you know that OST/Music are fun to listen to.

(Detailed)
This game may not the best game you will ever play, but it certainly lives up to its bill. Anyways, let’s go over the good and the bad:
The Good!
The old school RPG they promise is real: This really does play like an RPG of old, and if you have been looking for a turn-based RPG, then this will be something you can get into. You have many different options of attack, from regular atttacks to techniques/Justice Skills to healing skills, using items, etc. The exp. in this game feels really in place, as (until you get to the Elite section) you never really have to worry about grinding too much as you generally stay around the level of your enemies. This is nice if you hate grinding in games. There is alchemy among other things to make yourself stronger, and there are a few battles you might be able to skip if you want to. The game flows smoothly as a turn based RPG with a good battle system that can get you hooked on the game. Also you can get a helicopter early in the game to just zoom yourself to the dungeon you want to go to, but you don’t have to use it. Still its a nice perk to avoid mundane walking around. Your team is pretty balanced as well, although you must use the same 4 heroes. There is a general healer/buffer/magic user, two main dps, and a flex member which can heal/dot/damage/etc that is generally your most durable.

Light Fairytale Episode 2
MUSIC
well…it has one great song. i’m not sure if there are more. generally i don’t pay attention to this aspect of games.
STORY
though i enjoy what we got, i would agree with others that it’s barren. not a lot going on here.
more world building would be nice. the elder could have gave some good exposition on the region which haru knows nothing of. instead of just asking a stranger for help and mentioning someone that just happened to be right there. where do these people sleep anyway? too cold to sleep outside.

A lot of characters with different classes are available to recruit for VR battles. Be warned though, as losing will also mean death. The game seems to have co-op support from a different build branch, but since I didn’t try it, this review will be based on that.
Pros:
- Freedom to build your party from many characters in the game

A pretty decent game!

FINAL FANTASY® XIII
From what I have gathered, this game is somewhat controversial. I have 3 playthroughs now, looking forward to a 4th, and I would like to bring up a few points and offer my opinions, that potential players might have a better perspective on the game beforehand. This review will be quite lengthy, for there is a lot to cover, even scratching the surface as I am. I assure you there are no story spoilers.
Journey - The game is very linear. The first 80% of the story takes you on a singular path from one locale to the next, with little deviation, before it opens up into the main side-questing hub. (Firsttime players: at this point, I strongly advise following the map and pressing on with the main story for the best experience; there will be plenty of time later to complete this content, and you will be much better prepared.) Those of you looking for a cohesive, story-driven rpg that will keep you glued to your controller for 40 hours before you even get to the endgame, look no further.

God have mercy on my soul
This is without a doubt the most difficult review I’ve ever written, but this game is so fascinating from multiple perspectives; I’ve challenged myself to throw my hat into the ring and explain why I resonate with it despite the overt shortcomings.
It’s my Focus, really.
FFXIII is a game that was fraught with a lot opposing views amongst Square Enix’s devs on how to create a “perfect hybrid” between inputting command-based strategies for party members whilst being simultaneously cinematic akin to the battles found in FFVII: Advent Children, an animated film adaption of the highly adulated FFVII.

Orangeblood
I would recommend this game. However, I will not do so without SOME talking points.
First - The art is amazing. However, it becomes very jarring when moving around inside of zones the fog of war and tilt shift become VERY hard on the eyes.
I STRONGLY suggest that anyone wanting to play the game mess with the settings at length.
Make sure the bottom three settings are OFF (Tilt Shift, Chromatic Aberration, and CRT) and the color scheme is set to something easy on your eyes like Flat or Cinema. Vivid works as well but will be slightly more straining.

The world is one interconnected hub and unlocks different areas with to the story’s progression, but they all loop back round to each other and fast travel is conveniently placed. Given that the story is kind of a placeholder (name more than maybe ten stories in games that aren’t), I kind of wish it skipped the explanations about why you’re going from one area to the next in favor of an unspoken, Shadow of the Colossus/Legacy of Kain style, web of bosses you can choose to fight in any order you want to.

A good strategy game with an interesting interface, I’ll think about buying the full version.
