Outriders: Worldslayer certainly aims to set up the future of expansion content for Outriders, but while the improvements to skills and gear are sound, even fantastic at times, the core content loop is simply not enough.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is certainly a better go-around that the previous effort by Omega Force. While it adapts the Three Houses storyline in an alternative way, with great results of borrowing a lot of key systems, the lack of variety in the mission objectives, reused locations, and disa
