Nathan Lee's Reviews
Shadows of Valentia helps Gaiden gain relevance in this day and age by infusing it with some of the best parts of recent Fire Emblem games, even if some of Gaiden's outdated elements bring the game down.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception functions well as a visual novel. Unfortunately, the rest of the game suffers, with a battle system devoid of difficulty or punishment and an agonizingly slow start. Be prepared for hours of boredom before getting to the good parts.
This is your starter's RPG, a taste for anyone who is unfamiliar with the genre. For those that are familiar, this is a very standard RPG that is neither good nor bad.
Mario + Rabbids defies the stigma the Rabbids bring to the table and delivers a solid tactics-based game.
Monster Hunter Stories is a Monster Hunter game distilled down to a more simple level, but still retains what makes the games fun.
The marriage between the Warriors and Fire Emblem franchises has yielded one of the deepest and most engaging games the Warriors series has done to date.
Cyberdimension Neptunia is a decent action RPG, meant for the fans of the series to kick back and relax with.
The Longest Five Minutes has an interesting story premise and very good art that is marred by its lackluster gameplay.
You better be a hardcore fan of the series, or you won't find much to like in Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet.
Quality of life improvements over the already good Megadimension Neptunia VII make this the best Neptunia game to date.
This field trip to Luna Nova is more frustrating than fun, though fans of Little Witch Academia will likely find more enjoyment than others.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition shows its age when compared to recent Warriors games, but for Zelda fans, there is no better way to experience a Zelda crossover with your favourite characters.
Octopath Traveler is unapologetically old-school, and would not have been out of place if it had released back in the golden age of JRPGs.
Death end re;Quest's haunting atmosphere pairs up well with the dread-inducing story, making for a worthy experience.
The Princess Guide fails to execute on its good ideas, and the result is a game that feels like it was released before it had time to be raised properly.
Super Neptunia RPG feels like it was made by two teams with two objectives, and the result is a mediocre mess.
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists is a decent crossover game for the Atelier franchise, linking 20 years of the series together.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is Fire Emblem at the top of its game. Only a few games in my life have ruined my sleep schedule like Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Getting back home late after work, playing until I saw the sun rise, agonizing over in-game decisions, laughing and crying alongside the cast… this is what it means to truly fall in love with a game. Three Houses should be a part of any Switch owner’s library at some point. It has pretty much everything you could possibly want in a video game: good graphics, great music, an epic story and, of course, top-notch gameplay. Fire Emblem has a new, higher bar moving forward, and hopefully we’ll see this effort replicated for future titles.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions' deep battle system, light-hearted story, bright aesthetics, and catchy J-pop soundtrack are JRPG bliss.
Rune Factory 4 Special is a delightful and charming farming sim, even in a post-Stardew Valley world.
