After 84 years, I finally finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. For me, it was a slow burn that got better the further I progressed through the game.
Story was enjoyable scifi anime, art was beautiful. RTS bits were fun but didn't get enough love: difficulty was tuned too easy (I achieved S rank on every mission and I'm bad at video games) and some of the mechanics were superfluous.
Next in catching up with Vanillaware, Unicorn Overlord!
@driph Unicorn Overlord is a great game, I just made a post about it

Vanillaware and ATLUS combine for a fantasy SRPG that game out of nowhere and blew me away. this game is GORGEOUS and a definite contender for best looking game of the year. I played on my Switch OLED and it looked amazing. performance was flawless even with a lot going on
I enjoyed the story, there are some great characters, and the gameplay was so addictive. the only downer for me was I played it so much I got burnt out and never finished it (this always happens when I play an RPG with a big cast of playable characters as I always try and level them all up instead of picking favorites. it's totally a me issue and not a reflection of the games quality)
in typical fashion for ATLUS, this games production values are off the charts. everything is polished to a mirror shine. flawless
