Dragon Quest Heroes II
(Apr. 25 – PS4)
Dynasty Warriors has a formula that seems to work with just about anything, so it’s no surprise when you see other companies use their secret sauce on their own franchises. Dragon Quest Heroes brought a new, exciting way to experience Square Enix’s classic franchise and that game is getting a sequel on the PS4 later this year. Unfortunately for Vita owners in North America, the handheld version is exclusive to Japan, as is the PS3 version.
However, if you do have a PS4 and are looking for a game to hold your attention, this is definitely going to be a good option. You’ll explore open battlefields, slay countless Slimes, collect weapons, and even join some friends in action. It’s very different from Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy VII Remake, but that’s a good thing. It’s easier to wait for those when you’re not being reminded of mechanics and visuals that keep bringing the pain of their far releases to the front of your mind.
