recapturing my childhood in a super fresh way. this game has the juice

SIGNALIS is an outstanding title in terms of mood and content within an already-mature genre, developed using a fairly oldschool approach in terms of design with an unparalleled sense of style and a complex, compelling narrative. If you enjoyed Silent Hill and the original runs of Resident Evil, SIGNALIS is probably for you. If you enjoyed SIGNALIS and haven't played those titles, they are probably for you. If you haven't played any of those but enjoyed BLAME! or BIOMEGA or really thought you'd fare better than the crew of the Event Horizon, SIGNALIS is probably for you.

Also the score is great. Give Cicada Sirens and 1000 Eyes a listen.

One of the earliest killer titles in the SRPG genre, Tactics Ogre Reborn is perhaps the best this title has ever been. While I'd always have told you this game is 100% worth playing, it is now deeply engaging and challenging in really strategic ways, compared to just embiggening numbers or heaping enemies on you.
The game was always fun, but it has become more deeply and engrossingly fun. Rescue missions are actually a challenge, making the characters you rescue often very worth the effort.

Overall the art is fantastic, but the spritework being smoothed in rescaling does not do it any favours. It's a shame.
