5 Forgotten JRPGs Worth Playing Today
You know how sometimes a game just takes over everything, and it feels like nothing else is even happening? That’s happened to a few games I really love. When bigger titles came out around the same time, they kinda got lost in the shuffle, and people didn’t really notice them at first. But honestly, it’s not just that.

Open-World Games Where You’re Secretly The Villain
Ideally, games should make you feel like the hero. But these games cleverly hide the fact that you’re actually the bad guy. They do this in various ways – sometimes by simplifying the story and characters, and other times by keeping you focused on other goals so you don’t realize what’s really happening.
