Never played any of those.
From left to right:
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. Edgy cyborg cuts up other cyborgs. Renowned for its rather fancy ability to aim your cuts, a bangin' soundtrack and insane boss fights including a guy who unironically talks about memes and the greatest politician in gaming.
- Final Fantasy VII. Turn-based RPG starring spiky haired ecoterrorists and some of the best triangular titties you could find on the PS1.
- Ace Atorney. Adventure/visual novel starring a defense attorney who way oversteps his bounds when it comes to investigating crime, and also surrounds himself with questionably-aged girls. The source of the OBJECTION meme.
- Danganronpa. Visual novel where a dozen or so schoolkids are locked in a school where they will either spend the rest of their lives or murder one of their fellows and get away with it. The kids can vote on who did it: if they choose right the murderer is executed in a very messy and gruesome fashion, but if they get it wrong the murderer goes free and the rest gets killed.
- Nier Automata. Action game and sequel to the Drakengard series starring a blindfolded robot with a nice ass, who is sent to Earth to take it back for the glory of humanity. Directed by Yoko Taro, who is a fan of mindfuck plots and wearing this mask in public:
Yakuza: A several games long brawler series starring Kazuma Kiryu, a stone-faced man who beats up punks and goons with whatever he can get his hands on. When facing another stone-faced man they rip their shirts off to show off their elaborate back tattoos, then have a boss fight. Infamous for having its serious crime drama intercut with insane bullshit. Imagine a Scorsese movie co-written by 4chan. Because there's eight games in the main series alone and a single game can cost you 20-30 hours, playing through will take a LONG time and should not be done in one sitting.
Some Codexers love this series.
Persona: Spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series of dungeon crawlers, the Persona series features a bunch of high schoolers who need to balance school life, social life and fighting monsters in a shadow world parallel to our own. The fourth game has a repuation for being endlessly pushed, to the point where its music and a costume of the main character are in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. Easily the most anime of the bunch, whih is why it's at the end of the pipeline.
There, I have saved you hundreds of hours of weeb shit and hundreds of dollars worth of games. You're welcome.
