Moebius is a great throwback to old-school, point-and-click adventure games, but it has plenty of unexciting puzzles and wasted potential

6 / 10.0 - The Escapists
Feb 13, 2015

Escaping prison should be more exciting than this. Strategizing is fun, but the amount of repetition gets tiresome

6.5 / 10.0 - Secret of Mana HD
Feb 19, 2018

Secret of Mana's retelling is full of highs and lows. The colorful world and boss battles still hold their allure, but the overall execution feels average (at best)

Pretty visuals can only get you far, however, and Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising doesn’t offer enough entertaining or unique content to keep it from being anything more than a passable RPG.
