Phantasy Star Portable

The combat feels much more fluid with the manual control scheme, especially when using lasers on those bigger enemies. I've already sunk hours into clearing the forest areas, and the sci-fi setting keeps me hooked.

I was a bit worried about the difficulty curve, but after figuring out the new player-controlled combat system, I'm loving the freedom to dodge and strike with my souped-up sword. The sprawling forest levels are huge, and trying to carve through them without getting cornered is genuinely thrilling.

The combat feels much more fluid now that I'm directly controlling the attacks instead of just watching. Swinging a souped-up sword through a forest of enemies is incredibly satisfying, and the laser weapons pack a nice punch.
