My Recommendation for Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings

My Recommendation for Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings

Creative concept of entering paintings to explore new worlds

No English voices even though previous Atelier games included them

Charming and colorful anime art style

You won't find a sprawling narrative here like in most RPGs

Slice-of-life story and gameplay that's relaxing and laid-back

Graphics for environments aren't that great

Engaging gathering and crafting system with alchemy as the game's main focus

Not for people who hate repetitive busywork

Solid turn-based combat that's welcoming to beginners

Multiple endings that depend on your choices

Not for people who want more involved gameplay

Great English localization

Some reused art assets stick out

Unique concept of bending time to prevent World War III

Dark and mature storyline that grapples with grief and loss

My Recommendation for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

My Recommendation for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

Really good open world set in Hong Kong

Not worth it if you already played the original Sleeping Dogs

Great story that deals with plenty of gray moral issues

Unpolished

The Definitive Edition has all of the DLC included in one package

Feels too similar to other sandbox open world games

Well-implemented hand-to-hand combat with cool environmental finishing moves
