Super Mario RPG is a remake of the original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, which was released on the SNES in 1996, and has since become a bit of a cult classic. Though I don’t personally have nostalgia for the original game, I’m a big fan of both role-playing games and Mario, so I was excited to try this updated version.

Chained Echoes is a solidly decent game that you should play if you’ve already played all of the better games out there.

Sea of Stars is available on a variety of platforms. Is this new JRPG worthy of your time? Is it (perhaps) the best game of 2023?

It’s extremely rare for me that I can play a game for over 120 hours and still feel like I’ve got plenty more to accomplish with it, but that’s the way I feel about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, an all-around fantastic open-world adventure that can be enjoyed by just about anyone.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the first game released on the Switch and is still regarded as one of the console’s top games. With its sequel coming later this year, I finally played through the now six-year-old Zelda title.

I was a huge fan of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, so I had high hopes for this next entry in the series. Unfortunately, it fell quite a bit short of my expectations in one key area.
