Dragon Quest in the front, Resident Evil in the back.

Also known as the Leon S. Kennedy.

First up is the first release of February: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. I am currently working on Dragon Quest II from the 2D-HD release and am shocked at how the series has gone from absolute grindfest to ‘let’s make a fun game’. Don’t get me wrong, I often enjoy a grind; but after perfecting the series’ battle system in DQXI, it’s like the developers doubled-down on quality of life issues to make the games more accessible. I am here for this, by the way. The games have their charm, the monster designs are fun, and there is more emotional maturity contained in these games than a lot of other titles on the market.

Anyroad, DQVII Reimagined has a demo out. The title releases February 5th for PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Series X.

The next day has the release of Nioh 3 for PS5. The latest in a line of samurai-themed Soulslikes by Team Ninja, the Nioh series has focused more on combat than other games in the genre.

Ys X: Proud Nordics releases February 20th, and is Ys X with all the bells and whistles meant for the Switch version. It hits the PS5 and Switch 2.

And yeah there’s a new Resident Evil game closing out the month my house is going to bond over; cats and all.

Some other titles for this month:
Calamity Angels: Special Delivery (PS4/PS5/Switch) (2/17)
WiZmans World Re;Try (PS5/Switch) (2/19)
No Sleep for Kaname Date (PS5/Switch/Switch2) (2/26)

Re-releases:
Kemco RPG Selection 3 for the Switch (2/12)
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma for PS5 (2/13)
Tales of Berseria: Remastered (PS5/Switch) (2/27)
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties (PS5/Switch 2/XboX) (2/12)
