Octopath Traveler 0 has a lot to it. The "main" parts of the story, primarily the antagonists discussed here, are some of the best in the series and will keep people invested along with the Animal Crossing-like charm you get from restoring Wishvale, but once you get past it, it's all really just... there, and getting to its real, yet satisfying ending will take some effort. The end result is a huge game that definitely boasts more value than it's $50 asking price.

Kirby Air Riders is one of the deepest arcade racing experiences on the Switch 2 and gives you a lot of content for $70. Masahiro Sakurai’s determination to have everything here without any DLC coming later means you get served so much game you’ll be playing this game for years, still unlocking collectibles and mastering the gameplay.

Demonschool is a great strategy-RPG that clearly takes a lot of notes from its influences such as the Devil Summoner series, though admittedly it lacks a bit of the gameplay depth that those games have with regards to character stats. However, what Demonschool lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in its visual style, entertaining dialogue, and satisfying combat.

This review should have been in over a week ago, but some odd circumstances, which I mentioned in my review-in-progress, kept that from happening. The good news is that the team at Enhance/Monstars were finally able to reproduce the issue I was having and figure out how to fix it. The better news is, if they’re willing to go to that effort for a bug that I would be pretty confident in saying only I have ever managed to trigger in gameplay, is a great sign for how much they care about what they’re making.
