Phantasy Star IV is one of those classic RPGs that still holds up—especially with this arranged version tweaking some of the original mechanics. You start as Chaz, a rookie bounty hunter who gets dragged into way bigger problems than he signed up for. The story kicks off with some eerie bio-monster attacks, and before long, you're assembling a crew of weirdos (my favorite’s the cyborg with a grudge) to save Motavia.

The combat’s snappy for a 16-bit RPG—your party can combo attacks together, and the sprite animations still look great. The arranged version smooths out some of the grind, so you spend less time wandering caves and more time digging into the surprisingly dark story. Also, the soundtrack? Absolute bangers.

It’s the last mainline Phantasy Star game, and you can tell they threw everything into it. Just don’t get too attached to some of your party members.
