Great month. Already pre-ordered FF7R2 and VF5 on PC. Plan to get Stone of Madness, Spidey 2, Tails of Iron 2, and Cats of Mona Lisa eventually. Hyper Light Breaker once it's 1.0 (but maybe I'll still buy in Early Access for support). Possibly Eternal Strands.

I agree. I praised Capcom for taking a risk to make a game like this. Same for Ubi with the Prince of Persia Metroidvania (although that seems to have gone bad for them, sadly). It definitely did give a little of the same "feels like the good ol' days" vibe. Hopefully at least a couple publicly traded AAA companies still continue to make games like this occasionally.

@MigGui: Tropes aren't racist, as they show no bias, hatred, or fear towards/against the referenced race. They're just tropes. They are essentially neutral by nature, but used to easily identify something most people associate with. Again, no bias, hatred, or fear.

So no, a turban and scimitar is not a racist depiction of someone from the middle east. Racially-coded? Sure. Racist? No.

It's no different than the racially-coded AMERICAN HERO variety of buff white blonde guy. Which, gee, Metal Slug has and people don't seem to complain.

Props Jordan for keeping it real. 7 sounds about right from about 6 reviews I have read/watched.

@spookydave: A few 8s and 9s I read/heard gave such broad and shallow praise, while actually nitpicking a lot of other things.

Dang, i can't wait to play this. Unfortunately, there's...quite a few games ahead of it on my to-play list. :(

But, but...the square jaw and too much action!

How can it be their attempt at an "honest" and "authentic" DA game when it strays so far from the first 2 games?

@xgalacticax: How can you trust them to make a good new ME?

@RSM-HQ: your opinion vs theirs. Neither is right.
