I write RPG, Metroidvania, and Zelda-like adventure reviews for PlayStation, Switch, and Steam, and occasionally share my travel photos.

@BoTalksGames XG looks nice!

Is Pillars of Dust worth your time? A solid retro RPG, but not quite a classic. My review is free to read: https://t.co/FZlHMCJr8z (free to read)

@rpgfancom BN was listening to fans. Visually, this game has aged very well. I hope they keep it pretty much the same, maybe some subtle polish. Great gameplay too, maybe just a few QoL, but otherwise, this game's a blast.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@GeraruTaru So it includes characters from FF6, 7, 8, and 9.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@Stealth40k Sounds promising, we'll see.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@Atlus_West Great game, glad Nintendo-only gamers can finally enjoy it too.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@NintendoAmerica I've been happy with my Switch so far, but this may very well be my reason to take the plunge with the S2 next year.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@Atlus_West Metaphor ReFantazio is an absolute gem, previously only on PlayStation and Xbox, glad Nintendo-only gamers will finally get to experience it.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@Blimcote @BandaiNamcoUS One game at a time.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@BandaiNamcoUS Looks like BN has been listening to fans lately. Not much even needs to be changed, maybe some QoL additions, slight updates. But the PS1 version, visually, has aged very well so shouldn't take much.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@PlayStation So, Cloud and Squall will be in the game? Battles look to have potential, but how about the world? Hope it's fun to explore, a large part of what makes a great RPG is the world building and exploration but can't tell anything from this video.

Not all PS1 & PS2 Final Fantasies are created equal. I ranked all 6 offline entries: https://t.co/OWpfDsJG7u (free to read) #FinalFantasy #SquareEnix #PS1 #PS2

@TaylorsShelf These games are archaic versions of SH2, people would struggle even more. Personally, I enjoyed SH2.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@TaylorsShelf They are dungeon crawlers, sure, but with some modern QoL they might still be fun, and I wouldn't be shocked if some light social sim stuff was thrown in.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@CultureCrave Never liked the controls for SoC; hopefully, they are better for this one. Looks promising.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@BandaiNamcoUS How about a scarlet nexus 2???

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

@YachtClubGames Looks interesting.

[Carl Dexter @CarlDwrites]

Scarlet Nexus had a brilliant, fast-paced battle system, but the story hurt the game's overall appeal. What other games would you say are like this?: https://t.co/S8UN9L3v8L (free to read) #JRPG #BandaiNamco #Gaming

I spent most of my childhood avoiding people, but the more I traveled, the harder that became.
