    In general, Vaas Insanity is not very playable. After experiencing the limited content, what is waiting for the players is the monotonous content that will no longer attract them. Considering that the next two DLCs will also use the "Roguelite" mode, it is a bit worrying. Of course, only from the experience of the first round of play, the quality of this DLC is actually good. The expressiveness of the scene and the design of some levels are very imaginative. For players who want to know more about the story behind Far Cry 3 or are interested in the villain "Vaas", this DLC is still worth playing.

    It is no exaggeration that Shin Megami Tensei V is one of the most fun turn-based RPGs on the market. Unique and numerous demons are available for collection; the turn-based system that needs to develop strategies for weaknesses is fun and playable; the large, complex and sufficiently substantial maze is also very exciting to explore. But there is no doubt that this game is not suitable for some players. If you are not interested in traditional turn-based RPG, it will be difficult to find fun in this game. The above advantages will instantly become unbearable for players.

    Moncage tells an unforgettable story with creative "optical illusion" splicing and artistic narrative. In the exquisitely designed world of cubes, the change of color tone and angle adds a lot of fancy to the splicing. Instead of using words, the game lets the narrative do its work with the layout of the scene, the interaction of objects and the photos scattered in the corners. When players are getting closer to the truth, they will find that the gameplay has been further expanded, and the final true ending is even more impressive.

    Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a reset without sincerity, the picture has been significantly improved compared with the original version, but the poor modeling, behind-the-times operation methods, and many BUGs are a constant detriment to the experience. Almost all of the enjoyment I got from the game stemmed from the gameplay of the original itself.

    With rich content, exquisite details and a unique detective theme, Fate seeker 2 creates a back-to-basics experience. In the game, you can experience the high degree of freedom of old martial arts games, feel the immersive experience through the large amount of quests and interactive elements in CRPGs, and become a detective in the investigation and questioning sessions.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl contain a variety of classic designs, enough to make people feel the charm of the Pokemon series. For players who have never been involved in the Pokemon series, it is a good entry game. However, from the perspective of long-time fans of the series, the current form of this work is undoubtedly unqualified and disappointing.

    Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is the first attempt by Riot Games to make LOL more like a role-playing game. Although some of the torturous designs at the UI and enemy distribution significantly reduced my experience, the final quality of the game was quite acceptable, and the story around Ruined King was well complemented. If the developer can follow up in time to solve some annoying problems, I think the game experience will be improved to the next level.

    SaGa Frontier is as perplexing today as it was when it was released in 1998. No part of this game is welcoming. In no way does it try to help you figure it out. In fact, more often than not, it seems to actively try to get you killed by offering you opportunities you really just should not take on. Nonetheless, you'll be hard-pressed to find many RPGs that are so enthralling from a combat and mechanical perspective, that suck you in with a myriad of questions about more than just story, and ultimately compel you to do it again and again.

    There is no doubt that It Takes Two is one of the best two-person cooperative games in recent years.

    Although the gameplay of the original Demon's Souls isn't out of date in 2020, Bluepoint still did a perfect remake job. It's not only because the remake version looks like a next-gen blockbuster, but also because it plays more smoothly than before.
