I know there is a lot of cool games out now, but if you even remotely enjoy 16 bit JRPGs, I implore you to check out Chained Echoes.
This shit has everything: Mechas, eldrich gods, a complex multi-character narrative dripping with nuance and pathos, and did I say mecha?
I wouldn't spoil anything but there has been multiple times playing this game that I legit leaned forward going "Yoooooo?!" Because something crazy happened. This is one of those games that starts extremely simple and then keeps getting bigger and bigger as it goes.

It's crazy how it was all made by one guy too. I need to get back into it, but I was very impressed.
Combat system is also extremely fun, one of my favorites in a jrpg.

Really amazing game. The story blew me away and I loved the entire cast and their journeys. Really glad it popped off and the dev recently announced plans to return to the setting in some way down the line.

Best JRPG I've played in years, plus the mechanic where you get healed after every battle makes it so much better. Legit couldn't stop playing once I picked it up
