Had no chance of living up to the hype, but is an okay RPG. Suffers from empty sandbox, illusion of choice, and rather poor AI pathfinding, behavior. Nice tech eyecandy, too many side gigs.

A surprisingly pleasant and fresh immersive sim experience. Great preservation effort with non-invasive enhancements, a good way to experience the game for the first time, or return again.

The last Tales Of title to have Co-Op, the most fleshed-out PS3-era title. Memorable cast that consists primarily of "old people", fugitive anti-government outcasts, even more so than in Vesperia.

An all-around solid Tales Of experience, good for Co-Op, convenient QoL. A snappy battle system, and a good variety of character classes to pick from, with a decent roster, area variety.

Aesthetically pleasing and cute. Strong artstyle, memorable soundtrack, satisfying gameplay, and a good variety of level themes. Gimmick stages can be frustrating, overall fair, with freebies to help.

A type of Digimon game that I've been waiting since Digimon World 2003. Delightful presentation, a decent soundtrack, an impressive roster. Too many sewer levels early on, with more variety later.

There's a difference between a homage and a copy. Predictable writing paired with a story that's too familiar tilt this towards the latter. Sandbox is a beautiful backdrop, yet as empty as ever.

A good way to experience Croc for those that missed out or struggled with controls. Crocipedia is a great example of media preservation. Melted AI-upscaled textures is the blemish, toggleable to OG.

A way to buy a new digital copy of the game at an affordable price. Emulated, not a native PC port. Visually inferior to enhancement-based emulation solutions or a Nightdive-style native port.

For the best experience, 2 friends in VC are recommended. Cruel to newcomers due to the time limit, addicting by having an established combat lifted from the main entry. Same PC performance too.
