Looks like SEGA might not have released 80 games a year like they used to, but what they have released has been well received... dunno is that good?

Not only can I afford to buy more of their games per year, I actually want too. So yeah!

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is a bargain for all newcomers, especially at its $29.99 dollar price point. You will spend dozens of hours fiddling in huge SRPG battles. Thanks to the PlayStation 4 hardware, the game runs a lot smoother than the PlayStation 3 original. SEGA’s Canvas graphical engine also gets a even better picture due to it running at 1080p. Its also nice to see SEGA include all the DLC that was sold separately when the game originally released.

All in all, this is still Football Manager, and if you are a soccer enthusiast, this is your game: if you missed the last two, three editions of the game, you should grab this one.
