Ever since it initially showed up, it looked like it checked off all the right boxes to be a retro dream game. It has procedurally generated dungeons,Castlevania-esque inventory and map management, and absolutely gorgeous pixel art. Upon starting up the demo at PAX East, all of that was there.

And we’ll be good Thus closes another chapter of gaming, with one of the most exciting years of game releases yet. As we think back on the year, we are also remembering how, halfway through, we got Comments of the Week back as a regular feature.

Devil Survivoris easily my favoriteShin Megami Tenseispin-off franchise outsidePersona. The games so far have had great stories, a goodly amount of choice, and just the kind of tactical combat I like. But folks who can’t be bothered to play the games themselves now have an alternative:aDevil Survivor 2anime series. And it’s coming soon, too.
