RPG Fan's Reviews
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a game that fails to capitalize on its premise. Although the soundtrack and occasional moments of intrigue are commendable, they are overshadowed by poor character development, confusing plot choices, and a lack of polish. The technical issues, combined with the short length and unresolved storylines, make this entry feel rushed and incomplete.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles has a solid combat system let down by repetitive and boring dungeon design and a lack of depth in the town-building and character progression mechanics.
A landmark achievement in remaking a classic RPG where every change brings value to the experience, and none of the core essence of the original is lost in the transition.
The first Memories: Off game in English, but also the worst.
If you’re a fan of SRPGs and Arco flew under your radar, you owe it to yourself to correct that. It’s one of the better games I’ve played in that category in recent years, with a combat system that successfully tries something new, a setting that hasn’t been explored in any RPG I’m aware of, and a journey that leaves an impact in no small part thanks to the developers’ handling of its subject matter.
Card-en-Ciel spoofs so hard, it spoofs itself, and doesn’t have much left to give after that. There’s plenty of entertainment to be found in the game, but it comes at the cost of not having much to offer as a game experience. While hints of cleverness pop up here and there, they’re scant cover for the emptiness in Card-en-Ciel‘s soul.
Kingdom Hearts shines with its starry presentation and heartfelt narrative, delivering a cliché yet endearing story. The game truly excels with its outstanding gameplay, though some control issues can occasionally temper the experience.
Not a perfect remaster, but a worthy graphical upgrade of a fun horror romp with an enticing backstory.
Ys at its finest. A breathtaking action RPG featuring terrific combat and a rich narrative.
An iconic entry in the visual novel genre.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is another triumph for Nintendo, an essential game on the Switch, which is absolutely unmissable.
9 R.I.P. is a wonderful supernatural otome VN for those who don't mind a sprinkling of horror with their romance.
Despite odd technical issues, this is another quality Supermassive Games release, though it won't stand out from the herd.
This is Atlus's magnum opus; a truly epic fantasy adventure that excels in every conceivable aspect.
"Beach Episode" demonstrates both the staying power and versatility of the Freebird Games formula, both in terms of narrative pacing and evocative scenario.
Reynatis is a greatly flawed experience that is simultaneously scathing and vapid, gorgeous and murky, and fun and frustrating in practically every element.
Famicom Detective Club’s third entry will sate fans but isn’t compelling enough to bring in new players.
This roguelike heartily embraces trappings of piracy and life on the high seas that flips the traditional pirate ghost story on its head to offer more than appears at first glance.
Although it may not be perfect, Keylocker is an experience unlike many you will find in the genre.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon is a thoroughly robust, entertaining RPG adventure.
