Aside from nostalgia, part of the appeal of the point-and-click genre in general for me is how it helps me relax and put me at ease at night after a long day-similar to an easygoing bedside novel. Don't get me wrong that doesn't mean it's dull or that I hate it. This 2003 point-and-click adventure game isn't blowing my mind, but its Switch port is helping me fall asleep at night. While I spend time playing all sorts of games every week, there's one that I realized I've been consistently booting up every night: Syberia. | Twitter: Syberia (Switch Port) - Matt Espineli, Editor I've got maybe one or two dungeons left to conquer before I finish my adventure, but all I want to do is see more Persona-fied Fire Emblem characters and test my might against them in battle.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE pulls from the SMT spin-off Persona, but in this case, the "personas" are Fire Emblem heroes from throughout the series' history. I'm not well-versed in Japanese idol culture (the basis of the game's plot), but I am a massive fan of the two series that combine for this adventure: Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem. I missed out on this crossover RPG's original Wii U release, but I'm happy to get another chance to play it on Switch. ![]() And if you're playing the same games from previous weeks, that's fine too!
