    Ultimately, there are many issues with The Caligula Effect: Overdose. There were many things in the game that I truly wanted to like, but unfortunately they do not save it from being a poor title. In its entirety, The Caligula Effect: Overdose is an underwhelming and mediocre experience from beginning to end.

    The Caligula Effect: Overdose has one good idea, and it squanders it with a bunch of other terrible choices.

For the adults that played Persona 1/2 (dual) you'll enjoy this title however I recommend you play this on the ps4 or pc as the switch version suffers in the framerate department.… Full Review »

A lot of JRPGs are complicated, cumbersome, and require a lot of grinding before you can progress further. The combat system here is easy to pick up on, the leveling system is streamlined, and the item menu navigation is easy to understand. Add to that the intriguing story, the amazing music, and the outstanding voice acting and you got yourself a solid JRPG. Fans and newcomers alike should really consider adding this to their collection.… Full Review »
