You can feel the XCOM DNA in Bit Reactor's debut title, Star Wars Zero Company, but its cast of rogues is the special sauce that helps it shine, despite a somewhat lackluster story and unfortunate performance issues.
Brigandine Abyss had the potential to be great, but it is held back by some issues that make it a disappointing follow-up to its predecessor.
Steins;Gate Re:Boot is the best version of the classic story, even with some caveats.
Beast of Reincarnation is a bold new title from Game Freak that liberally takes inspiration from a handful of other games, including Pokémon, but manages to twist it all into something charmingly unique.
Blue Reflection Quartet offers tremendous value and a great way to start the series, but some parts of the collection leave a lot to be desired.
Culdcept BEGINS is an excellent deckbuilder/board-game hybrid that cured me of my deckbuilder fatigue.
Relink's major expansion is highly impressive, but it's important to set expectations of what it brings; it doesn't completely revamp the game from top to bottom, but it builds upon the endgame of Cygames' action RPG with many new quests, characters, and systems to power-up your roster once more.
Gothic 1 Remake faithfully reconstructs a cult classic RPG from a team that clearly respected the original, and feels like a game from a bygone era largely for the better.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a solid, but sometimes disappointing, transition into action-RPGs for Square Enix's HD-2D series.
A vastly improved battle system buoys what is otherwise a polarizing conclusion to the Utawarerumono franchise.
What appears at first to be a return to game design from eras past evolves into something truly special.
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is an engrossing tale of espionage intrigue with superb writing and roleplaying mechanics, all wrapped up in a compelling reflection on the role of media in government and society at large.
While this turn-based RPG has some significant downfalls, developer Ikinagames punches above their weight as Starbites provides satisfying character building mechanics and a fun combat system making it a simple, yet solid RPG.
Crimson Desert is a flawed but breathtaking, annoying yet fantastic, game of excess that has managed to infuriate and delight me in almost equal measure.
For our Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta review, we cover how it feels on Switch 1/2 and also how this new version compares with the original game on PS Vita, PS4, and PC.
Capcom's Pragmata is a truly inventive & surprisingly emotional take on the sci-fi shooter, and another tremendous outing in the company's ongoing hot streak.
Much sooner than we expected, here's our thoughts on the full Switch 2 release of Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
New features for older games in an easy-to-access package make this a must purchase.
Etrange Overlord is a short and sweet RPG that doesn't overstay its welcome, and hits all the right notes in its relatively short runtime.
Greedfall: The Dying World fails to live up to the potential showcased by its flawed but ambitious predecessor, resulting in a wearisome experience that is merely 'okay'.
