5 BEST Games To Get Ready To Go Back To School
We’re at the end of August, and that means that people are going back to school if they aren’t there already. While most people think of going back to school as a horrible occurrence, it doesn’t have to be all bad! There are plenty of video games out there with prominent school settings, and many of them are great. Here we’re going to list off 5 of the best games to play that have school as a prominent aspect of the game.
Persona
When it comes to games set in a school, it’s hard to not immediately think of the Persona series. The games bring you a loveable cast of characters that you get spend a lot of time with, and that includes being in school with them and taking classes. The Persona series mercifully cuts out the boring bits and keeps things moving when it comes to the actual school aspect, making this an easy inclusion on this list. You’ll instead be more engrossed in the fantastic RPG gameplay and character interactions, which are spread throughout dozens of hours of gameplay.
Danganronpa
The next entry on the list takes things in a decidedly darker direction, with the Danganronpa series having what is basically the last school you would ever want to go to. Hope’s Peak Academy rounds up the most talented kids around, and then locks them inside a school and tasks them with killing each other without getting caught. A trial then follows, and if the killer is found then they are killed in a gruesome, disturbing fashion. So yeah… this should get you back in the school mood spirit!
South Park
The two recent South Park games have been some of the finest licensed games we’ve ever played, and each one of course has a prominent school setting. While you have much more freedom in these games and go many other places than just school, the characters themselves are still students and school is a very big part of their life. It just so happens that they’re also involved in some hilarious hijinks involving nazi zombies and lots of fart jokes.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
This game is the most recent release on our list, with Fire Emblem: Three Houses recently launching exclusively for Switch. While it offers more of the beloved SRPG gameplay that fans have come to expect, what really won many over is its prominent school setting. In fact, many people are calling the game the Harry Potter game they’ve always wanted, as it features a campus similar to Hogwarts filled with interesting characters and locations for you to explore. Doing well in school requires a lot of deep thinking, and Three Houses will also make you do just that.
Bully
The final game on our list is a classic from Rockstar Games called Bully, which is an action-adventure game set in a fictional town of Bullworth. The game has you controlling a student as he tries to rise through the ranks of the school system. Seeing as the game is open-world, it allows players to explore more than just the game’s school. Still, you’re tasked with taking down the school’s bullies and attending class, so the school aspect of the game is very prominent. While the game launched all the way back in 2006, there have been rumors that the game could be getting a sequel at some point.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
