Experiencing PRAGMATA: No way worth more than $40
You're paying for graphics; and a somewhat good story. That's it.

Experiencing Tales of Arise: 'Arising' From A Dream About Lunar (from Working Designs/GameArts)
Wow. What a slog that was.

Experiencing Bravely Default II: As A Fan, It Hits You "Right In The Soft Bits".
Not a Bravely Default game. Call it anything else and it's fine.
D+
Experiencing Bloodstained: Let's Just Call It "MegaMetroidVania".
When beauty truly is only skin deep.
B+
Experiencing Adol Trek: Deep Ys Nine (IX). (Read On, It Will Make Sense)
A step back from VIII, but not a bad experience.
B
Experiencing 13 Sentinels - Aegis Rim: A beautiful, limited game.
A compelling story at a not-so-compelling price.
C
Experiencing Trails of Cold Steel IV: Mechanically brilliant, but failed to take risks with the characters.
Mechanically brilliant, but too "safe" and lacking in voice acting.
B-
Bravely Second: I never realized just how short this was.
I couldn't understand why so many of the series' fans didn't like Second (and still don't).
C+
Bravely Default: Good story, unique engine, mashed like Play-Doh instead of sculpted to fine art.
Unique for its time. Frustrating at points.
