Devil Survivor is the kind of spinoff that keeps the core gameplay, unlike Pissona.
It's Majin Tensei with Persona characters.
I don't know if Majin Tensei 1 and 2 should be put on the list, because i haven't finished them.
I've also never finished
...If, because it's impossible to get a game over; dying will just change your stand/persona into something different (and shittier if you die too fast).
In other news, the Alone in the Dark remake doesn't seem particularly woke (at least for the 20 minutes i played it before uninstalling) but it's plain, ugly and janky.
The original was the game that Resident Evil ripped off; you were, like the title says, alone in the dark, inside a mansion full of monsters and traps which would insta-kill you, and you had to solve puzzles and fight to survive.
The story in the game was provided exclusively by notes and diaries containing explanations about what happened in the house.
The new gayme still has the diaries and notes, but it also wants to be a
cInEmAtIc ExPeRiEnCe, meaning that now Derceto is some sort of psychiatric clinic full of plain, ugly characters to talk to in plain, ugly cutscenes.
After some linear exploration in plain, ugly locations, you will be whisked away in linear, plain and ugly Silent Hill-ish segments in which you will engage in janky combat against the most uninspired, lazily put together monsters i've seen in years, that are about as scary as Peerod in his Care Bears' pajamas.
Did i mention that everything about this game is plain and ugly? Because it really is.
It's basically like playing Silent Hill Downpour again. Or sleeping with the ultra-ugly, unwashed version of Jodie Comer they put in it.
Maybe i will play the game again for the story in the future, but right now i'm downloading Callisto Protocol.
Even if it's total shite like everyone says, at least the monsters look sufficiently scary/repulsive.
