January has marked a strong start to the year with significant releases, such as the console version of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, a new installment in the acclaimed JRPG series. Additionally, the sequel to the excellent Citizen Sleeper, titled Starward Vector, has made its debut. The month also brought a wealth of intriguing indie titles worth keeping an eye on, including the Advance Wars-inspired Warside, the innovative Heart of the Machine, and most notably, the tactical game Those Who Rule.
