Don Parsons's Reviews
The crowdfunded spiritual successor to the acclaimed Suikoden RPG series, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes marks the final work of Yoshitaka Murayama, who created the Suikoden Series, and led Eiyuden Chronicle's development.
Broken Roads is a cult classic in the making. It hearkens to the best parts of games like Fallout 2, and many other CRPGs of the '90s, and it fits right in alongside classic Fallout and the Wasteland games. It’s flawed in some areas, with bugs in spots, but it offers tremendous role-playing and storytelling that make it more than worth your time to spend upwards of thirty or more hours in post-apocalyptic Australia.
Millennia is an interesting, if flawed, take on the civilization-like experience that could be so much more with polish and time taken to it. It’s worth experiencing if you like these types of games, but it’s not going to revolutionize the genre, or dethrone Civilization anytime soon. With some polish and the right updates, it can get better, but for now it's a good, but flawed experience.
Frostpunk is a compelling experience with a smart and interesting take on the genre that might not have the emotional punch you were looking for.
Persona 5 manages to combine style and substance with the most refined gameplay the series has seen, with some smart writing that doesn't quite always hit the mark
Sym is a middling platformer with a wonderfully delivered message
Kholat is a welcome challenging and atmospheric take on the horror genre
Not A Hero is a well made game that skewers the political elements it takes aim at with some excellent game play to top it off.
Technobabylon is definitely worth your time if you are into adventure games, or cyberpunk
A tale of war, bigotry, friendship, and the human condition Valkyria Chronicles manages to combine a captivating story with a unique combat system!
Open a new adventure to Storytime – just don't expect to find many answers yet!
With great ambitions come great opportunities. Endless Legends doesn't quite make it but is a solid title.
