A perfectly sized, engaging mystery that fans of the Judgment series will love.
Cuteness is about all Aka has going for it.
Anthem is a painfully average RPG from a developer that is capable of so much more.
I don’t regret my stay in Providence Oaks, but like most vacations, I wish I had gotten to do more in the short time I had with the game. If you’re looking for a slice-of-life experience in a peaceful lake town and you don’t mind some bumps along the road, Lake might just be up your alley. If you want a narrative game with replay value where your choices affect the story, this vacation might leave you a little wanting.
I walked away from Backbone puzzled about the ending, and in truth, I was a little disappointed. The game kind of squandered the excellent setup it spent hours developing, but because the setup is so good, I don’t feel totally let down. I still enjoyed my time in this dystopian Vancouver populated by animals, and I would almost certainly play a sequel if one were ever developed. But there’s the rub. Backbone feels like it needs a sequel. The story just doesn’t feel complete right now, and given that the game is pretty short (you can probably beat it in about 5-7 hours), it’s hard for me to enthusiastically recommend it. If you’re still interested despite the issues I’ve outlined, make sure you’re prepared for an abrupt conclusion. If you’re on the fence, well… maybe wait for a sale.
Take a trip down memory lane, but be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride.
Cat Quest is a good, short RPG that any cat lover will enjoy; just don't go into it looking for anything more than cute kitties and tons of feline puns.
It’s a little rough around the edges, but Swansong can still satisfy your craving for a vampire narrative RPG set in the World of Darkness.
Despite a few quibbles and an endgame that doesn’t hit quite as hard as I hoped, I enjoyed Chicken Police – Paint it RED! The characters are kind of the star of the show, and the fantastic writing and voice acting compliment the noir-style visuals. If you’re looking for a classic detective story with a unique twist, then you might be interested in the adventures of the legendary Chicken Police. Overall, it’s a clucking good time!
Burning Shores feels more like a side story than an epilogue, but it’s still a fun adventure with a wonderful new ally and some memorable moments.
We Are OFK is a wonderful debut in both the video game and pop music scenes.
A perfectly proportioned adventure in a colorful land where you are the only one who can solve the mystery of the end of the world.
A modern version of the SNES classic, Super Mario RPG for Switch is a fun and nostalgic experience.
While it doesn't quite soar the heavens like its predecessor, Stormblood is ultimately a solid addition to Final Fantasy XIV, with plenty to see, loads to do, and lots of little improvements to make the whole experience better.
If Origins left you unsure about the series' new direction as an action RPG, Odyssey will make you a believer.
Though short, Tacoma is a great narrative adventure, especially for fans of sci-fi.
With the Void storyline getting a little long in the tooth, Growing Light finally wraps things up and prepares players for the upcoming Dawntrail.
The immersive vampire RPG you never knew you needed.
If you can get past the heavy-handedness with which Detroit: Become Human approaches some of its story, you'll find that it is possibly Quantic Dream's best effort yet.
Though the main story is slow to ramp up in intensity, the stage is set for a dramatic conclusion in patch 6.5 — and you’ll have plenty of side content to keep you busy in the meantime.
