Raidou 1 has really solid sense of style, nailing a supernatural detective TV show in its atmosphere, music, characters and designs. The story is fun and intriguing throughout, and at the end goes somewhere you might not expect it to. If nothing else, play an hour or two just to check out the vibe cause its seriously good.

The gameplay drags it down though. Combat is too simplistic and stiff, and your summoned demons can take forever to react to anything. The dungeons can be pretty slow, and filled with random encounters which made the combat become really tedious.

One of my favourite RPGs and games in general. SMT IV is incredibly fun, if pretty tough at the beginning of the game. The press turn system makes for fun combat pretty much all the time, with boss fights often being highlights that force you to be strategic with your demon fusions. The atmosphere is top tier thanks to the art direction and one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game. The characters and story are good too, Walter is a lot of fun and easily my favourite character from mainline SMT. He will end it thus, and you will remember it.
