The top-down RPG revival (Chained Echoes, Octopath Traveller II etc)

I played the demo of Octo II and it was fun. Not enough to tell yet but some strong FFVII vibes. I hear Chained Echoes is similar to Chrono Trigger?

I wish they'd just re-release Chrono in some form - either just rolling it out on console or a full remake. I think there's some sort of legal reason it can't be, but it's ridiculous at this stage.

I'd heard good things about "Weird West" (not to be confused with "Evil West"), the top-down supernatural western action RPG. They just released a "definitive" edition, which is on sale for $20 for the PS4 version, but upgradable for free to PS5 (the standalone PS5 edition is full-price at twice that amount, though it's anyone's guess why you'd buy that version).

That game does sound pretty cool: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/weird-west-review
