After nearly two weeks and 64 hours of gameplay, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake is now complete. There’s no doubt in my mind. This IS my Game of the Year. Castlevania, Final Fantasy Resonance, Fire Emblem - they’re all going to have to play for 2nd place.

Today marks one week since Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake came out! I’m ~40 hours in and halfway through Chapter 6. So many scenes being retold in 3D are epic in so many ways. Estelle’s arc in this chapter in particular exemplifies her being one of the greatest heroines.

020

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Trails 2nd Chapter Remake continues to impress me with how both faithful to the OG it is, while cinematically expanding so many scenes. I had finished Chapter 4; seeing Estelle reunite with one particular person in her past had me tear up quite a bit.

Peak jRPG gaming. We’re eating well, my friends.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake is everything I’d hope it’d be so far. 18 hours in and I’m still as hooked as I was with the OG! THIS is how a remake should be.

020

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

That marks the ending of Tokyo Xanadu! Decent action jRPG goodness with a fun Nihom Falcom/highschool story. English dubbing would’ve been a great addition as well. Regardless, a nice breath of fresh air before jRPG greatness coming in 4 days!

This marks the final, TRULY final end of Octopath Traveler 0! Nearly 80 hours from start to finish, with all quests done. The story was fairly lackluster, but decent gameplay overall and GREAT music and graphics! Solid 8.5/10 game.

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Finishing up the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake demo from Gungho! So many great moments and around 10 HOURS of gameplay, yet September 17th cannot come fast enough. Now these are remakes done right!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Octopath Traveler 0 has been a slow burn for me. The music, graphics, and gameplay are stellar - peak Octopath to be sure! The story is probably the weakest of the three games. I think I got spoiled by Octopath 2; that entry fired in all cylinders, a true 10/10.

020

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

That marks the end of Pragmata! Excellent story, where it occurs, and excellent gameplay as well. Really enjoyed this one! Loved that it required thorough concentration whenever fighting enemies.

This was one of the worst jRPGs I’ve played in the last 5 years, for a LOT of reasons. I think this’d be worth replaying, and maybe streaming, to see if a lot of these issues I had were resolved with this newer version.

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Mina the Hollower is now complete! Aaaand…yeah, feeling pretty “hollow” after this ending. Regardless, interesting melding of Link’s Awakening, a sprinkle of Castlevania, and a bit too much Souls-like.

020

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

That’s the end of Yakuza Kiwami 1! The whole time I was playing, I kept thinking, “man, I really miss the jRPG mechanics of 7 & 8!” Still, the story was fun and interesting. The combat was fun, although a lot of the bosses were straight up BS.

What an absolutely stellar game 8-Bit Adventures 2 was! My second 10/10 game I played this year. @CriticalGamesAU knocked this one out the damn park. The story and character development just kept getting better and better. And they nailed the landing! So very happy with this!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

And that marks the end of RE4 Remake. What a f***ing masterpiece. What a game, I am SO glad I finally got into this series, just so I can experience this game.

030

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

And that’s a wrap on Ball X Pit! Surprisingly addictive gameplay, with the building of the town aspect surprisingly compelling. That’s especially impressive for me, as that kind of thing is something I don’t usually like.

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Everybody is (rightfully) excited about today’s NintendoDirect. Don’t sleep on the Star Fox 64 remake having its demo release! It plays so damn smooth; I felt like my 14 year old self breakin’ world records again…!

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

A- NintendoDirect showing; I’m a huge RPG fan, so this direct seems like it was geared for me. My favs: ⚔️Final Fantasy Resonance ⚔️Xenoblade Genesis 🌳The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake ⚔️Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave ⚔️Tales of Eternia Remastered

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

My predictions: 🟢Challenges being added to the NSO, Zelda 40th Anniversary/Ocarina of Time Remake 🟡Mario Kart World DLC, new 3D Mario reveal 🔴GTA VI, Chrono Trigger remaster

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Not counting the upcoming NintendoDIRECT, of what was shown in the last three shows, I’m most excited for: 🧛Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse 👓Persona 4 Revival 🧟‍♀️Resident Evil Veronica 🧪Persona 6 😇Halo: Campaign Evolved

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

That marks the true ending with Leon’s 2nd Run completed! Man, what an incredible game Resident Evil 2 Remake is. So glad I finally got to enjoy this one!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I’m about two hours or so into 8-Bit Adventures 2, and holy CRAP this game is GOOD. It feels like an old school NES Final Fantasy game, but with instructions, tutorials, and explanations all throughout. I love the character designs too!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

And that’s a wrap on Resident Evil 2 Remake: Claire’s run through. I’ll be doing Leon’s B run through next. Game is just too good NOT to see his side of the story!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Now playing for the first time: Resident Evil 2 (Remake) And after beating RE3 Remake, I think I understand why people were pissed at that title versus RE2R. This is just absolute peak horror gaming. I cannot believe how excellent everything is.

020

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Happy 40th Dragon Quest Anniversary! Excited to see what SquareEnix will reveal during their short livestream on what is coming next for the series. Hoping for a new mainline title!

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

That’s a wrap on Resident Evil 3 Remake, the FIRST game in the series I’d ever beaten! I’ll have to check out the OG at some point, but holy hell this was good. And Jill is gorgeous!

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Now playing for the first time: Resident Evil 3 Remake. I’m three hours in and I think this’ll be the 1ST RE game that I’ll have beaten. I’m hoping with this being a shorter game, it’ll motivate me to try RE2 and RE4 again, then finally to RE7 thru 9.

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

I've now beaten 25 games so far in 2026. How is this year faring? Shown here are the four best games that I've played through. And this is pretty crazy since Trails 2nd Chapter Remake comes out later this year, along with the new Fire Emblem, Star Fox 64 remake, and more.

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

After roughly 25 hours or so, I’ve beaten Quartet! And I really thought it was … you’ll just have to wait for my review on my YouTube channel!

010

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I’ve been both under the weather and preparing for a trip to NYC next week, so my review of Quartet will be a bit delayed. Been enjoying my time with it!

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

And after 50 hours, Hades II is now complete! Makes a TON of sense why this game is the highest rated game on Metacritic for 2025. Probably my game of the year, at least until September…!

InfernoFox Gaming @infernofoxgaming.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

This was a slow burn (pun…intended?), but I finally beat Doom the Dark Ages! Good game overall, although the story itself was mild nonsense. And that’s okay, since I don’t play Doom games for the story. Probably the weakest of the last three, but still a solid 8/10.
