Is Dragon Quest VII Too Easy? Is Nioh 3 Too Hard?

from The Besties · host Russ Frushtick, Justin McElroy, Chris Plante, Griffin McElroy

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined makes one of the longest, most ambitious RPGs into something more manageable: a swashbuckling sprint through a book of fractured fairy tales. Whether or not you like that change of temp likely depends on your history with the series. Meanwhile, Nioh 3’s first boss is the skill check from hell. Why would game designers build a wall between the player and the fun? Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?
