If you're bored with the constant 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:open-world slop of modern releases and want a more traditiona🔜l RPG, then look no further than Konami's classic RPGs in Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. These two titles are𒆙 masterclasses of the RPG genre and, unfortunately, have been under the radar for far too long.

This HD Remaster includes both the first two entries in the series, faithfully improving on the few flaws the oཧriginal titles had while leaving them chocked full of nostalgia. Both games are excellently crafted, and Suikoden I is a classic gem with a wonderful story that is now better than ever. Meanwhile, Suikoden II is an emotional heart twister that has an unforgettable story, and it still stands as one of the best JRPGs around.

Coming from the wonderful NecroDancer series, Rift of the NecroDancer takes the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:rhythm game genre into a new direction. With a Guitar Hero-like setup, you will hit notes to the rhythm. However, 𝐆the notes aren't regular notes; they are instead enemies. Each enemy moves along the track in a different way to add a layer of technical complexity to beating a song, as you don't just need to have good rhythm but also know how each enemy behaves.
