As some of you might've noticed, I've updated curator lists with some new game releases over the past year or two. There's a bunch of new lists for various game series, and they've been rearranged.

Unfortunately, you still have to write a review for each title to be able to list it. As a result, you might've noticed that most of the new reviews are not very meaningful and fall under the information category. Realistically, with my limited free time, I can't possibly play or even try most of the games. And sometimes I can only go by the Switch ports.

As a side effect, your activity feed has been spammed, but I have no control over that. At least Valve is limiting it to the last five reviews now. Also of note, is that some curator tools are currently broken, such as the tag filter editor, but at least they let me to remove some irrelevant generic tags. Still, the state of Steam Curator system has been neglected for years, so what can you do?

If you need some recommendations, Trails got a bunch of great localized releases recently

As well as Atlus pushing a bunch of megami tensei titles

Hello, long time no announcements.

I hope you stayed safe and had lots of time to play JRPGs in the past year working from home.

There's been quite a few big releases in the meantime, and quite a few delays for hotly anticipated titles as well, so let's look at the more prominent changes in Steam catalogue.

There's been quite a list of smaller and/or indie titles as well, but Steam limitations for announcement are already kicking in, limiting the number of embeds. Feel free to browse the curator page for recent reviews.
