#TheAdventuresofElliot platinum is done! Really enjoyed the story and character work here. Thought most side quests were well written and worth doing. Combat is a fun time too. Did think the story was a tad long by the end and areas got repetitive. But a solid time. Score: 8.3/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#007FirstLight platinum is done! Excellent story here showing how a young Bond earned his number. Looks great and the different routes throughout were cool. But has pacing issues and the combat wasn't my favorite. Still a great time though. Score: 7.7/10

#YakuzaKiwami3 & #DarkTies platinum is done! Had a surprisingly great time with this one thanks to the really well done side content for both. And the Dark Ties story was quite neat. Makes me excited for how they remake Yakuza 4 eventually. Score: 8.2/10.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#Starbites platinum is done! Had a really good time here. Great story and characters, hope to see more eventually. Combat is also solid. But a handful of small issues which stop it from being great. And a weird trophy list for a jrpg. But a very solid time overall. Score: 7.8/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

Yeah, today sucked. Really hate to see the beginning of the end for physical games. Even with all the games I'm excited for in early 2027 this will overshadow them knowing this will be the last disc copy I'll likely get of Atelier, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, and Persona. Just sucks.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

So excited for this. One of my favorite games of 2026 so far. I did not expect Code Vein 2 story DLC so a welcome surprise. Now to relearn how to play the game once the DLC drops.

[Bandai Namco US @BandaiNamcoUS]

A dark reflection of a world that could have been.
CODE VEIN II Mask of Idris is coming soon.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#LegoBatmanLegacyoftheDarkKnight platinum is done! Had a fun time with the story here. Combines aspects of various Batman lore to make a really fun time. But gosh was I bored going through collectables. Just such a grind to do. So was glad to finish it off. Score: 7/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

It's probably such a blessing in disguise that Gust doesn't have any sort of merch shop with Atelier shirts and whatnot like Trails has. Don't want to think about the amount I'd spend to grab some shirts with the main crew of the different series on them.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

Been using @GameFly for years and discovered so many great games and series I never would have tried otherwise. Such a great service.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

@StarqueenSonea Should also check out the SAO Progressive novels if you haven't. Really fun Aincrad retelling.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#Directive8020 platinum is done! Had a good time with it. Fun story, good performances, great visuals and deaths. But also felt the cast was too large for a story this short. Stealth sections were annoying. Still no fast forward or scene skip. But still had fun. Score: 7.3/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#Saros platinum is done! Had a good time with this one. The combat was quite fun and there are enough QOL features to make it pretty accessible. Performances are solid too with a fun story. Some grindy trophies for plat but not bad. Score: 7.5/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

#NelkeandtheLegendaryAlchemists platinum is done! Had a really good time with this seeing all the pre-Ryza alchemists interact and Nelke's story was fun too. City building was neat once it clicked. Give me the pre-Arland games now! Lovely celebration of Atelier. Score: 7.6/10

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

@LouiseG42270678 I always just assumed Remake was the title since it's about Sephiroth remaking the events of the original game by messing with the timeline along with Cloud and friends defeating the Whispers. So a remake in our IRL sense and within the context of the game world.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

@StarqueenSonea I'm so excited for it. Especially since I've played Marie, Arland, Dusk, Mysterious, and currently Nelke all after Yumia. My hype has never been higher.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

@JRPGJungle Now just need Cold Steel 1 and 2 on PS5! Hopefully those are next.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

@JRPGJungle If we get an announcement for Caligula Effect 3 for 2027 as well it'll make next year even better than it's already shaping up to be. Or an Overdose version of CE2. That'd be neat as well.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

I'm also just assuming Karia will be in March and FF7 will be in April, and Veronica somewhere amongst them.

[Nick Pell @Ndpkid]

The idea that 2027 is already stacked with Stranger Than Heaven, P4 Revival, RE: Veronica, Atelier Karia, and FF7 Revelation in the first 4 months is wild, but also the fact that we'll hopefully get Trails Beyond the Horizon 2 at some point and/or Sky 3rd Chapter. Cannot wait.
