Lapis x Labyrinth - Big Money, Big Prizes, I Love It! (Jimpressions)
Lapis x Labyrinth is a sheer joy to play. Rarely does one find a game so hellbent on encouraging and rewarding the player with endlessly positive audiovisual feedback.
All the thrill of a casino with none of the evil, this NIS hackyslashy fun fest is well worth checking out.

It's nice to see there are, in fact, good games out there. And hey, from the guys who did Disgaea?! I'm on board with this!
<i>"Arse-achingly precious jewels."</i> - <b>Jim Skulling (2019)</b> I do like the stackable tag-team vibe this game is going for. I also don't think I've seen a recent commercial title that has such as unashamed arcade look and feel. It's been a while since we've seen one, right? I'll admit I've not been looking all that hard.
What is this sense of Pride and Accomplishment that doesn't involve a loot box?
This game looks adorable. It looks like it would be perfect for handheld Switch, but I don't have one. I might get it on PS4, though.
Is this the second happy Jimpression in a row? What is gaming coming to...
Right? Exactly what I was thinking. 😆 (Well, close enough to 2 in a row. Sonic racing was in the middle there but even that one wasn't awful. My god there were almost 3 positive Jimpressions in a row. 😮)
This satisfying (reward you for everything) loop is why Nippon/Nisa is probably my favorite developer. Disgaea 5 was so fun, and they just consistantly want to make you feel good for playing. Wanna grind? Grind some levels in this weapon world ... every floor you beat makes the weapon stronger and you get great gear. Nisa has its shit together
This makes me super wish Jim had played Disgaea (the PC version is rather cheap and a delight to play) and Disgaea 5 just came out (each game is self contained so there's no barrier to entry)
