It's fun! A little chaotic, but that's part of the charm. Didn't like the music so much but at the same time I found it catchy. My one complaint would be that the characters felt the same, but maybe that was me not going too deep into the customization mechanics. Fun, for sure but I myself would wait for a sale.
Honestly, I might not even try whatever they make next. This was so overhyped that it was never going to fulfill expectations (at least for me). Not a bad game at all, and the soundtrack is almost perfection, but everything else I just thought it was alright. Game fell apart after Act 1 for me and had to force myself to finish it. I don't think it makes my top 20 of JRPGs In any case, I know it was a complete success and I'm in the minority, so kudos to the team. I think I'll go back to Shadow Hearts. 🤣
I've been waiting for Veilguard! Didn't start any long game because of it. I have no nostalgia nor love for Origins and 2 and Inquisition are some of my favorite games so I think I'll enjoy it.
I've only got an Xbox this generation so I haven't had the chance to play the series before that. I finished the first game once. Honestly, I think it was my least favorite of the bunch. 😅
That's good to know my man! Really hope you like them. We sometimes share the same taste in stuff (like Assassin's Creed) but sometimes not at all, haha. I had to force myself to finish E33 ONCE. 🤣
I'll still play it though. I chose a character whose story is like 20 hours. That's a f#cking lot for ONE story. Then there's characters with stories that are like 1 hours only. Those are kinda fun.
I'm in the last chapter (and dungeon) of Raidou Remastered, so maybe I'll finish that one today.
After talking with @Kaloudz I'm also playing Dynasty Warriors 9 🤣 which... Yeah isn't really good, but I want to do some stories. I'm in a Three Kingdoms mood.

Re: 007 First Light Gets Massive Gameplay Deep Dive, Hits Xbox In March 2026
I don't think I've ever watched a Bond movie. At least not in full.
Still, if it looks good, I'll be interested. The PS2 games were fun.
Re: Talking Point: Next Month Is A Big One For Xbox Game Studios, And We're Here For It
@BAMozzy
Probably because:
A) This is an Xbox site. Just like when you go to read the news on Push Square and you don't know if the games release on other consoles or not.
B) The three games will be on Game Pass, which most Xbox users have.
I agree that is a good month for gaming in general though. Although of course that is subjective to personal taste.

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In September 2025
@Decimateh
Not for me, I didn't really like the first one. But I hope you enjoy it!
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In September 2025
Nothing for me but that's fine. I'll be clearing some of my neverending backlog.
Re: These 30+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (September 1-5)
Not much for me here, only the VS-like game. But I don't mind. Game Pass has been good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 30-31)
Dragon Age The Veilguard which I'm enjoying quite a lot. Solid game so far.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Addition In August 2025?
It's between The Rogue Prince of Persia and Dragon Age.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Xbox At Tokyo Game Show Next Month?
More JRPGs, but maybe not the big ones. The smaller ones that usually skip Xbox.

Re: Five Ubisoft Games Acquired By Atari, All Set To Be Re-Released On Xbox
Always wanted to play Cold Fear and never did. So that's cool.
I Am Alive was reaaaally cool on paper, and really interesting on practice. I think it could have been great with a few tweaks and QoL stuff.
Re: Helldivers 2 Has No Xbox Reviews Yet, So Here's What The Players Are Saying So Far
Ugly as sin made me laugh. 🤣
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Is One Of The Highest-Rated Xbox Games Of 2025
This game looks amazing. Honestly this was the kind of art style I wanted for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound.
Re: Indie Dev Frustrated Over Hollow Knight: Silksong Reveal, Delays New Game Because Of It
Sucks because I don't care about Silksong but I wanted this one. But it does makes sense I guess.
Re: Two Huge Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (August 26-28)
I've been waiting for Veilguard! Didn't start any long game because of it. I have no nostalgia nor love for Origins and 2 and Inquisition are some of my favorite games so I think I'll enjoy it.
Re: Ubisoft Announces Surprise Free DLC For Assassin's Creed Mirage On Xbox Game Pass
I'm not the biggest fan of Mirage, but I'm still an AC fan. And if it's free... Hell yeah, I'm playing it.
Re: Talking Point: Has This Week's ROG Xbox Ally News Sold You On The New Handheld?
I'm not part of the demographic for this. I prefer a big screen to play on.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 23-24)
Rogue Prince of Persia which is as good as it looks.
And I'm playing Warriors Orochi 1 on my PS3 for some nostalgia.
Re: Poll: With 'Reloaded' On The Horizon, How Many Times Have You Completed Gears Of War 1?
I've only got an Xbox this generation so I haven't had the chance to play the series before that.
I finished the first game once. Honestly, I think it was my least favorite of the bunch. 😅
Re: The New LEGO Batman Looks Like A Spiritual Successor To The Arkham Games
I never cared too much about the LEGO games and I didn't like the Arkham games at all, but this one looks really good.
Re: Roundup: All The Big Reveals From Xbox's Second Gamescom 2025 Livestream
Hotel Barcelona and Denshattack are the ones I'm interested in.
Re: Three Xbox Game Pass Titles Revealed During Second Gamescom Broadcast
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor for me. Let's goooo.
Re: Five Xbox Game Pass Titles Revealed During First Gamescom Broadcast
@Kaloudz
Nothing too crazy... Or maybe I'm just sucking at it. 🤣
Re: Five Xbox Game Pass Titles Revealed During First Gamescom Broadcast
Playing Rogue Prince of Persia right now. Really fun so far!
Re: Surprise! The Rogue Prince Of Persia Is Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@fbnaulin
It's like 4 hours long according to HowLongToBeat, although that's probably the early access version. This one might be a bit longer.
Re: Surprise! The Rogue Prince Of Persia Is Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
@G1lbo
It just means (generally) that once you die you start from the beginning being more powerful than last time.
Normally the aren't that long.
Re: Surprise! The Rogue Prince Of Persia Is Available Today On Xbox Game Pass
I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Looks amazing. Gonna try it once I'm at home.
Re: Square Enix's Triangle Strategy Is Shadow Dropping Today On Xbox
It's the best time to be an Xbox player.
Re: Four More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (August 19-20)
Persona 4 Golden is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time. I'm one of the few people that think vanilla is better, but it's still an amazing game.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025
@FraserG
Noooooo. 😭
It looks so good. Well, here's hoping it comes later!
Thanks!
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025
@FraserG
So... Absolum doesn't say Xbox at the end???
Please tell me it comes to Xbox. 🙏🏻
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025
First person soulslike sounds like the worst possible combination for me personally. 🤣
There's quite a few interesting stuff. That He-Man one looks really cool!
Re: Former PS3 Exclusive 'Tales of Xillia' Is Getting Remastered For Xbox Series X|S
Never could get into this series, but I'll try again someday.
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 19-28)
Dragon Age! Let's goooooo. I've been waiting for that one.
Re: Xbox & PlayStation Reveal Full List Of Halo Content Coming To Helldivers 2
Imagine telling someone this a few years ago.
"Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!"
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Europe's Best-Selling New Game Of 2025 So Far
Never doubted Shadows would sell well, but I'm still glad to see it.
Haters gonna hate as usual.
Re: Shemnue 3 To Make Xbox Debut With 'Enhanced' Version For Series X|S
Might buy it just to support this. Here's hoping we get 4 someday and the story finally finishes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 16-17)
@Kaloudz
That's good to know my man! Really hope you like them. We sometimes share the same taste in stuff (like Assassin's Creed) but sometimes not at all, haha. I had to force myself to finish E33 ONCE. 🤣
So I'm really interested to know your opinion.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 16-17)
@Kaloudz
I installed 8. 😂
I'll still play it though. I chose a character whose story is like 20 hours. That's a f#cking lot for ONE story. Then there's characters with stories that are like 1 hours only. Those are kinda fun.
Re: Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Late August 2025
Nothing for me here. Sea of Stars wasn't my cup of tea at all so this is fine for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 16-17)
I'm in the last chapter (and dungeon) of Raidou Remastered, so maybe I'll finish that one today.
After talking with @Kaloudz I'm also playing Dynasty Warriors 9 🤣 which... Yeah isn't really good, but I want to do some stories. I'm in a Three Kingdoms mood.
Re: Talking Point: Will The ROG Xbox Ally Be Your First 'Handheld Gaming PC'?
I have zero interest in handheld. I have a pretty good TV, so I like to use it.
Re: Sengoku Dynasty Brings Its Open World Survival RPG To Xbox Next Week
Already preordered this one just for the setting. Hope it has some upgrades over Medieval.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Black Myth: Wukong On Xbox Next Week?
Never liked the look of it, to be honest. Not for me.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Still Not Convinced By 'Dangerous' Xbox Game Pass Model
No one forces the devs to put their games on Game Pass. And when they do, they don't do it for free.
This is a nothing burguer.
Re: PUBG Getting Free Current-Gen Upgrade, Xbox One Version Going Offline This November
@Kaloudz
It's like me before and after when I try to lose weight after the Holidays. 🤣
Re: Impressive Open World RPG Crimson Desert Now Coming To Xbox In Q1 2026
I really want this one. But I think this doesn't surprise anyone.
Re: Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live Showcase: Date, Start Times & What To Expect
I'll try to watch this one live. Most of the times I don't really care about the stuff but the anticipation and vibe it's kind of fun.
Re: Brutal Action-RPG 'Hell Is Us' Gets Free Xbox Series X|S Demo Today
@InsertTape
That would take quite a bit of time, unfortunately.
But don't worry, next time I see an article on a game I'm not interested I'll make sure you know! 👍🏻
Re: Brutal Action-RPG 'Hell Is Us' Gets Free Xbox Series X|S Demo Today
@InsertTape
You're welcome. Happy to be of help. 😃
