We haven’t seen a great Mega Man title in years and to be honest it saddens us to say that. However, back when Mega Man had his name written all over the billboards one of the titles that stood out to many was Mega Man Legends. Legends stars MegaMan Volnutt, a young archeologist who searches ruins for Quantum Refractors, which are known to be a main source of energy for his city. Trouble eventually erupted as the Bonne pirates and Reaverbots invade the town in search for hidden treasure to become rich. Now Volnutt must put an end this annoyance before it escalates.

What made Mega Man Legends such a hit to many fans of the franchise was that it took a very different approach from the more traditional style we know and love, and throws you into a 3D world full of action packed fun. It featured many gameplay styles such as lock on targeting, which eventually became the norm for future titles such as Ocarina of time. The game felt very versatile as you could run around freely, collecting items from the shop, while interacting with characters in certain ways would actually have an impact not only on the pricing of items but the story as well.

Tales has surely made its mark on the world as one of the more prominent role playing titles that also manage to fully incorporate action elements to provide a fresh feel. For many years the Tales franchise stuck to a more linear based system which felt more traditional in the RPG sense, but as the industry evolved around it so too did the gameplay. In Tales of Berseria, the world itself is fused with the same world from Tales of Zestiria and due to a violent disease that spread across the nation, it turned the residents into Daemons. Now with a new threat in front of them the Exorcists, who are soldiers from Abbey, must now band together to rid of these creatures and restore peace to the Kingdom.

Tales of Berseria feels a lot like its predecessors in terms of art style and skits, but what’s changed is in the battle approach. The Soul Gauge now takes precedence over the classic style of previous Tales titles, and allows players to hold up to five souls which can then be used to engage a powerfully unique attack known as Break Soul if you have enough souls. With its versatility in battle along with a very colorful and rich environment for players to travel in, Tales of Berseria is one Tales title you don’t want to sleep on.

Berserk Musou has been on plenty of our top ten gaming lists recently partly in due to the fact that well, it’s Berserk. Guts is on a mission to kill and he’ll stop at nothing to ensure he gets his retribution. Guts had been a part of the distinguished Band of Hawks, but it was when he realized he had been betrayed by the one he trusted most that he was torn to pieces and now felt determined to change that. Things went over the edge however when God Hand and his cronies came into the picture and took the one he loved away from him, which now turned Guts into a ravaging beast.

The gameplay is fierce and blood pumping, full of non-stop thrills at every corner and pair that with wicked cutscenes to really seal the deal. We did a review on Berserk and the Band of the Hawk which you can check out in our gaming section, so if you’d like to know more about it in detail be sure to check it out!

Sora has now become a name that people remember almost immediately and recognize what franchise he came from. His character proved to be a powerful one in Kingdom Hearts, not just in his ability to fend off enemies and protect his close friends, but more so in his innocence and ability to stand up for what he believes in. Kingdom Hearts throws players into a fusion style universe that introduces popular Disney characters such as Donald Duck, as you team up with them with your powerful Keyblade in hand to defeat the evil Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and seal the door to Kingdom Hearts.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the one title from Konami that still resonates in the hearts of many to this day, with its over the top action paired with a ton of exploration to keep you occupied for hours on end. As you control Alucard, the main protagonist of the series, you run around the castle in search for clues and to come to terms with Maria and Richter. Due to this game’s popularity over the years, it became known as a sleeper hit and arguably the best Castlevania title of all time.

Symphony of the Night incorporated a very Super Metroid type feel, which eventually became known as Metroidvania, a term coined to the franchise because it resembled the very back and forth feel of the Metroid series, as you explored the many stages in search for items and clues to help develop the story. There’s just an enormous amount of things to do in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night that it all feels so in your face and yet, that very same adrenaline rush is what keeps you hooked for hours.

As you travel around the vast landscape in search for rare items you’ll come across huge intimidating creatures who will try to block your path, but with your team to your side hunting these monsters never felt more stimulating. Monster Hunter Generations is Capcom’s popular monster hunting title that takes players on a crazy wild adventure, as you hunt various types of monsters and complete objectives along the way.

The major selling point of Monster Hunter Generations is certainly in its gameplay, because there’s no other game out there that truly creates this feeling of immersion as you’re completely surrounded by mammoth creatures and you need to rely on your wits to get the job done efficiently. Monster Hunter Generations really involves a lot of teamwork to progress, so if anything it helps players understand different roles that they can play, but moreso help us understand that as a collective we can accomplish more in the end.

Final Fantasy has become a household name for more than a decade now, and still continues to shine brightly across the globe. With every new title comes a new gripping story to come along with it, and in the case of Final Fantasy XV the story made sure to leave its mark.

A lot of the action just spews out the minute you turn on the game because right away you’re thrown right into the deep end, and you must fend for yourself as you learn the ropes of the game’s mechanics. Once you’ve devoted enough time to understanding how everything works, the game takes you on a wild ride that has you riding on chocobos, driving around in your snazzy Regalia to travel to the next objective, or just hacking and slashing your way through enemies as you make your way to the boss. It’s non-stop action at every corner, tied with a splendid story that will not only captivate you but surely make you appreciate Square Enix’s genius when it comes to narrative.
