A primary characteristic of this combat is the shifting arena that moves along with the characters during fights. Each character has specific combination attacks meant to deal significant damage and their own fighting style. Similar to Street Fighter, you can engage in LAN fights with friends in-person or battle online in a ranking system.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the newest installment of the Yakuza game series. It follows Ichiban Kasuga, a year-old junior member of the Arakawa Family. Expecting to be revered as a hero, he is met with shock when he is released and discovers that not only does no one remember him, but his clan no longer exists.
The story tells of his search for answers, beginning in Kamurocho, where he seeks his former patriarch, only to be shot, awaking days later in another town with a questionable stitch job.
Undeterred, he sets out again on his hunt for the truth and to take back his life, only to become entangled in the conflict that brews beneath the surface of Yokohama. Unlike other games of the series, Yakuza: Like a Dragon strays from the previous real-time sock-it-to-em style of combat and adopts a turn-based system more typical of Japanese RPGs.
An interesting component of combat, and one that is atypical to what one expects from turn-based combat, is the ability to use the terrain and objects in it to your advantage, a nod to the previous games. The underworld also has more to offer than just following the main story, and comes equipped with various forms of playable content. Just like the games before it, demonic power threatens the world once again in the 5th installment of the Devil May Cry series. As the hellish incursion continues to ravage the city, Nero arrives with his partner Nico to fight back, equipped with a new mechanical arm.
Ready to take on his enemies and hopefully reunite with his friends Nero sets out on a rampage of his own. Nero and Dante return as the playable characters in Devil May Cry 5, joined this time by a new character named V. Each character has their own unique playstyle setting them apart from each other. Just like those before it, Devil May Cry is an action-packed hack and slash that rarely calms down. The Evil Within is an amazing game that is followed up by a second equally great game. Both have received immensely positive feedback, and for good reason.
The first game follows detective Sebastian Castellanos and his team as they investigate the scene of a gruesome mass murder. Upon arriving, they encounter an unknown and vastly powerful force, which makes quick work of both Sebastian and his team. Upon waking, Sebastian finds he is the only survivor and has been transported into another realm full of more than just the dead. He must find a way to navigate the world before him, avoiding the gruesome monsters that lurk within it, and hopefully make it out alive.
The story progresses through a series of chapters; each one has tasks that must be completed in order to move forward. You must learn to use the environment to your advantage and remember to scavenge for supplies at every chance you get.
Supplies are limited, so using them wisely is essential to your survival. Sometimes it will be better to fight, and if you choose to do so you will need to use the most effective weaponry, others it will be better to run. Every decision you make bears consequences beyond just life and death, as they can cause the world around you will morph and change.
After the events of Ground Zeroes, Big Boss, our main protagonist, falls into a comma, awakening nine years later. Upon his waking, he joins and helps lead the Diamond Dogs, a mercenary group. On a mission of revenge, he encounters former rivals, meets new friends, and uncovers hidden plots. MGS V is primarily a stealth game that plays out through an immense open-world.
At your disposal is a vast, vast repertoire of gear and companions that serve to assist you in remaining undetected. The game also boasts highly realistic weather and day-night mechanics that help to assist or impede you in various ways, such as night and rain impacting both your own and enemy visibility. Overall, there is a huge, and I do not say this loosely, amount of available content and mechanics for players to experience and enjoy.
One of the strongest qualities of the game is the amount of customizability that goes into the experience; as the player, you have unusually high control over the game and story. As you adventure further and battle these enemies of mankind, you begin to realize that not everything is as clear-cut as you once believed. The story of God Eater progresses through the completion of various missions, consisting of the slaying of Aragami and gathering of materials.

With a variety of weapon choices, Blood Arts, and other related mechanics, God Eater 2 offers an interesting gaming experience that plays on a similar concept as the more well-known game, Monster Hunter. Following directly on the heels of the prior two Trails of Cold Steel games, the third installment continues a year and a half after the events of Trails of Cold Steel II.
The story centers around the main protagonist, Rean Schwarzer, now a military professor, his students, and his military school friends from the prior games. While training a new Class VII, Rean receives orders from the Imperial Government to resolve a number of conflicts that have begun popping up over Erebonia. As he sets out with his new students to resolve the issue, he is joined by his old classmates. Together, the group embarks on their journey of discovery as they not only attempt to get to the bottom of these strange happenings, but also learn more about each other along the way.
The Legend of Heroes games are characterized by their rich and beautifully executed story, which continues throughout all of the games. Trails of Cold Steel III is no exception in this; every character is well-developed and many hold positions in each of the games, growing alongside the main narrative.
There is a pretty hefty recap at the beginning, but there are still elements left out; if this bothers you, be sure to check out I and II first. Trails of Cold Steel III is another game that uses a turn-based combat system for each of the battles, which primarily unfold through a series of menus, and is fairly typical in the execution.
Part of the well-renowned and developmentally inspiring Dragon Quest series that helped set the groundwork for JRPGs as we know them, comes the the most recent addition, Dragon Quest XI. DQ XI, despite being part of a long-running series, is a completely standalone experience that hosts a brand new cast of characters and an independent narrative. The story takes place in the world of Erdrea, beginning as the kingdom of Dundrasil is invaded by a horde of terrible monsters.
