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.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
