Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection from Digital Eclipse should've shipped in a better state, but it has seen some improvements post-launch. The documentary kontent is fantastic, but the poor online experience and some emulation issues hold it back. My review: www.patreon.com/posts/mortal...

Own the OG on everything digitally and physically, but I'm glad I bought it on GOG as well a few months ago.

Great read (as usual). Triangle Strategy is one of Square Enix's best games in a long time with an incredible soundtrack.
Been sitting on this one for a bit, so wanted to put it out as we build to the release of Octopath Traveler 0. Three years on, I talked to the devs of Triangle Strategy on how the game impacted the HD-2D series, and the strategy RPG revolution www.inverse.com/gaming/trian...
Triangle Strategy Devs On Creating a ‘Mature’ Story for One of the Decade's Best RPGs
Three years and a million sold copies later, the developers of Triangle Strategy reflect on the strategy RPGs legacy, and what it means for HD-2D games.
