I’ll start this review from the very beginning — literally. The first Dragon Quest game I ever played was Dragon Quest V (mobile) back in 2023. Unfortunately, I never finished it because I lost my phone. So now, in 2026, I decided to finally play and beat the entire franchise… starting from the beginning. Was it a good start? Honestly, yes. I haven’t played that many RPGs to say this with absolute authority, but my experience was mostly enjoyable — except for the almost...

And here we are with another review. Christmas is approaching, and today we’re reviewing a game that it’s set on the Holidays: Hotel Dusk.
