Combat and socially agonised teens impress in Persona 4 Revival, the RPG that series director Kazuhisa Wada feels a "duty" to make
Look, before you say it, I know. Persona 4 Golden is held up by some as one of the best and most important RPGs ever. After all, it was the series' Final Fantasy 7 moment, where many of the mechanical and thematic threads of the earlier games finally knitted together and became something greater than their parts. You step into the shoes of Yu Narukami, a Japanese transfer student freshly arrived in Inaba. There, you use your limited time to make friends, study for your exams, and dive into a metaphysical dimension to turn-based battle the literal manifestations of your friends and rivals' twisted perceptions of themselves. Its story and characters particularly celebrated for their honest and painful looks inward at the parts of ourselves best left unseen. I’m a fraud for not having played it yet, with that sin only compounded by having had it in my Steam family sharing library for years. I have no excuse. I’ll face the shame-filled shadow version of myself, eventually. Read more

Experience A "First Taste" Of The Ninja Gaiden-Inspired Platformer 'Eclipse Blade' With This Epic New Steam Demo
Yari-lly should play it! The last year was a great one for fans of '90s ninja-themed action games, with Game Kitchen's excellent Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Lizardcube's Shinobi: Art of Vengeance doing a superb job of paying tribute to their respective franchises.
