I was deep in love with the Battle Network series from the Gameboy Advance, and was absolutely heartbroken and happy at the same time when the saga ended in the Cybeast finale. Enter Starforce, a 3D-styled Battle Network that just never clicked for me.

But soon came One Step From Eden. And all my memories and nostalgia came rushing back like a waterfall full force against my face. I love everything about this game: the music (100% chef's kiss!!!), the method of adquiring chips (well, cards in this case), and the bosses being literally every playable character but buffed to hell. Everything this game does honors the legacy of Battle Network and I couldn't be any more in love with it. Is it the best? Not by a long shot, it's not Megaman. But man, does it come close to it. And I'm fine with that being the case.
