If you've played World of Warcraft at any point during its modern era, after it crossed the threshold from Classic to the MMO monster that is 'Retail WoW', you'll know it's not the social experience it once was.

I think Digimon Story: Time Stranger is secretly a PS2 era Shin Megami Tensei game. That's very much my taste in RPGs. Given this is sort-of a kid's game (OK, it's got a PEGI 12 rating because of 'bad language', 'in-game purchases', and - bafflingly - 'sex'), that is a pretty big surprise. I've come to this conclusion after sinking a good 50 hours into the game, and being taken on a surprisingly volatile journey as a result. The story is pretty guff, with a lot of shōnen-style anime filler injected into the meat to make it appear more succulent, but most of my emotive response has been to its design philosophy, its approach to dungeons, and some unbelievable pacing choices. I can close this game either loving it, or hating it. But, for the past two weeks, I've not been able to stop going back to it.
