I discovered the first experimental gameplays of Blue Protocol in 2019, that was at the moment I just finished the Aincrad arc of Sword Art Online, and it was litterally what I was waiting for a MMO.
After some years, Blue Protocol was published, but only in Japan, so most of players had to use a VPN to play. But honestly, this was such an amazing experience. This game looked so fresh, the musics were so catchy, the gameplay was so brilliant, simple but addictive, it was a really enjoyable beginning.
A part of MMO players were complaining about the lack of content, of difficulty, and honestly, they were right. This game had an enormous potentiel, but devs were'nt in position to offer truly innovative content, or at least content that would meet the expectations of experienced players.
In conclusion, the game didn't even rechead the rest of the world and closed his doors in January 2025. What a shame to see a beautiful new game, that I was personnaly waiting since the first ever video I saw of it in 2019, closing after being reserved for Japan while a whole community in the world was waiting for it.
Tencent bought the rights to remake the game but with their own perspective, with the name of Star Resonance, it looks promising, but it is not Blue Protocol, the Blue Protocol that we played.
Let's continue to remember Blue Protocol as the colorful MMO that had everything to satisfy thousands, even millions of players with enjoyable hours spent with friends, whether fighting or exploring the world of Regnas, and not as this game wasted by Bandai Namco and Amazon who made questionable decisions to ultimately waste its potential.
Let's keep the memory of Blue Protocol alive until, one day I hope, we revive it for good.

Wizardry V: Heart of the MaelstromDespite the defeat of Trebor, Werdna, and L'kbreth, dark times once again threaten the kingdom of Llylgamyn. So once again a party of adventurers must venture forth to vanquish the evil.
Wizardry V represents a complete revision of the gaming system used in the first four installments, with larger mazes, new spells and character classes, and an expanded system for combatting and interacting with creatures. It is also the first game in the series that allows, but does not require characters imported from a previous scenario.Action Fantasy Drama
Forbidden Siren 2Forbidden Siren 2 is the second installment in the Siren series.
The game tells the story of several characters who become trapped on Yamijima Island, an island off the coast of mainland Japan. On August 3, 1976, an underwater cable was cut, and all power to the island was lost. During the subsequent blackout, all of the islanders disappeared and the island became deserted. Twenty-nine years later, in 2005, a magazine editor called Mamoru Itsuki is visiting the island to conduct research for an article when the ferry he and a small group of other passengers are on capsizes, after it is hit by a red tidal wave. Shortly after his arrival, a group of soldiers crash land on the island after their helicopter has engine troubles. They must all find ways to survive the island's "monsters", the shibito.
The game is played through several character perspectives, each with his or her own strengths and weaknesses, through an overlapping timeline of the fateful night that alternates between the present and the past. The story can unfold in different ways with, in many cases, two or more different versions of a level, which will have slightly different objectives than the original. If the player is thorough and plays through these optional versions, the story and characters may develop even further than beforeHorror Survival
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy...
The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences.
Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.Action Fantasy Horror
