― One of the most interesting choices that came from adapting Overlord IV is that the series skipped an entire arc—two entire light novels worth of story. This left an odd gap between episodes seven and eight of that series—wh...

Reynatis Game Review
Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that stands on its own, but it has a rather shaky stance.
― Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that, to its credit, has a solid identity and visual aesthetic. A lot of comparisons have been drawn between it and Kingdom Hearts, and while they're not uncalled for, it's worth pointing out that about all Reynatis has in common with Kingdom Hearts is a teenaged prota...
