The Good, the Bad, and the Undead is a strong first DLC showing for Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
Inscryption appears to be a very niche roguelite deck-building card game. But it turns into so much more. It’s a must play for anyone who is a fan of experimental videogame storytelling. Anyone remotely curious, who enjoys a great mystery, should also play without hesitation. This is the highest review score I’ve given in a while, and I wasn’t drawn to the base gameplay at all. Inscryption is a special game, and a wholly unique experience. It’s going to be remembered as a benchmark of videogame storytelling years from now. I could not be more shocked or impressed.
Black Panther - War for Wakanda is easily the strongest additional content for the game yet.
Cindered Shadows, while not a vital piece of DLC, is an entertaining side story that rewards Fire Emblem: Three Houses players patient enough to partake in it.
Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains is a solid traditional RPG remaster held back by a lackluster English translation.
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition is a misnomer since it downgrades a classic.
The Definitive Edition is certainly the strongest version of the game out there and offers one more gameplay mode to explore with local co-op, but it isn’t without its problems either. Given the anime and notable JRPG influences of the series, I hope that RWBY fans will one day get a stronger RPG-adjacent outing to play through. As it stands, RWBY: Grimm Eclipse is simply a game for fans to play in short, diversionary bursts. Playing for much longer can diminish the little bit of fun there is to be found.
A successor to the extremely unique action game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, The Lost Child is a decently average dungeon crawler that plays it almost too safe.
London Detective Mysteria is far from the worst otome out there, but I wouldn't call it one of the best either. Huge otome visual novel fans will likely get some enjoyment out of this title, but other gamers or those new to the genre might just find it tedious.
A quirkily flawed stepping stone in Final Fantasy history.
Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix is a serviceable SRPG that brings little new to the table but might satisfy an old-school itch.
Broken Pieces is a nostalgic mystery adventure that feels like it might be missing one or two components still.
Atlas Fallen is a decent open-world action RPG co-op or solo experience.
The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling is a compelling, albeit flawed, otome.
If you can overlook some flaws, Anuchard is a short and engaging, albeit simple, action RPG adventure.
God Wars: Future Past is overall an entertaining SRPG that doesn't stray too far away from its roots.
Garden of Seif: Curse of Gravehollow Peaks is a solid-albeit-short fantasy visual novel side story.
Despite some flaws, Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond is an enjoyably short(er) RPG experience with beautiful visuals and surprising depth.
Norn9: Last Era is a surprisingly strong otome fandisk outing despite its flaws.
Charade Maniacs is a prime example of quantity over quality, but there’s still the occasional good moment to uncover.
