People felt that the over-reliance on tutorials and the main characters, who boasted rather odd personalities, felt like a step down from the previous games in the series. MostXenoblade Chroniclesfans still had a blast with the second mainline entry and considered it to be a worthy entry in the series despite its faults.

However, the improved combat and simple yet engaging kingdom management ensure thatRevenant Kingdomwould be a blast to play for players willing to forgive its faults.The cel-shaded art stylestill looks great and will compel most people to stick with this title till the very end.
One of the biggest pain points ofOctopath Travelerwas its narrative structure, with other party members being forgotten in tales where only a single character could be seen at all times before battles and boss fights brought back the entire cast of heroes out of nowhere. It was hard to adjust to, and the sequel made major strides to make the stories less formulaic for each character.
While this confusing narrative design may be hard for fans to adjust to, the excellent combat and amazing visuals ensure thatOctopath Travelerwill still be a joy to play for many fans. What makes things better is the HD-2D art style that looks breathtaking to this day, even if the bloom may be a bit too much for many.
The World Ends With Youis one of the best action JRPGs on the Nintendo DS that made the most of the dual screen to let players enjoy one of the most innovative combat systems on this handheld. The sequel failed to innovate in this department but it is still a blast to play through in many ways.
Thecombat inNEO: The World Ends With Youis action-packedand the cel-shaded art style felt like a natural evolution of the 2D visuals from the first game.

An indie role-playing game that pays homage to the golden age of JRPGs, many fans were wowed bySea of Stars' presentation. The visuals were out of this world and the music had a fantastical edge to it that fans fell in love with in no time.
In many ways,the presentation ofSea of Starshelped many players ignore the cliches of the plot and a battle system that wasn’t all that stimulating. Some players will find these faults hard to overlook, while others won’t mind focusing onSea of Stars' strengths and they get immersed in this wonderful title.
The prospect of playing a newPaper Marioenticed many fans, withThe Origami Kingenticing many people with its visuals that fans were familiar with. However, once players spent more hours in this game, they realized that the experience could be a bit too shallow at times.
The combat system was too easy and didn’t feature a ton of depth, while certain character designs felt phoned-in. These were valid complaints but didn’t stop many people from having a blast with a newPaper Mariogame regardless of its faults.
Pokemonis one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time that players can’t get enough of. Despite its quality issues in recent times, fans can’t get enough of the classic monster-catching gameplay as they beat every gym leader in a certain area and establish themselves as the best Pokemon Trainer of all time.
This is why many people playedPokemon Scarlet & Violetdespite its egregious bugs. The implementation of an open world was something fans wanted for a long time, even if the lack of level scaling meant that players still had to follow a fairly linear path to beat every gym. These faults may be too much for some people to handle, but hardcorePokemonfans still loveScarlet & Violetand can’t get enough of catching every single Pokemon to fill up the Pokedex in this title.
