RPG Site's Reviews
This is a great compilation of two breezy and iconic representations of anime-styled fantasy JRPGs in the 1990s.
AI Limit is a pretty good, but overly safe, futuristic soulslike marred with some minor technical issues.
Promise Mascot Agency offers the most unrealistic power fantasy for today's day and age; owning and running a successful business
While Atomfall should be praised for its accessibility settings and innovative "Lead" system, a plethora of design shortcomings frustrate in this survival-RPG hybrid.
Neople and Nexon's Soulslike-inspired action RPG set in the DNF universe sadly misses the mark on many of its components with a dull color palette that masks its lovely art style, sluggish combat flow due to its restrictive stamina system, and just doesn't distinguish itself from its many contemporary competitors.
This well deserved remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X makes it easier than ever to appreciate one of the best open-world RPGs out there.
While the combat system has its flaws and the gameplay doesn't innovate much within the open-world genre, Atelier Yumia is a fantastic starting point for newcomers to the Atelier franchise.
Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars brings the classic pair of PSX-era titles to modern consoles in a delightful package.
The strangest game I have ever played in my entire life is equal parts fascinating, frustrating, and complicated.
Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero can scratch that SPRG itch if you have it, but it is unlikely to be intriguing to those without an interest in the genre.
Monster Hunter Wilds has all the potential to become the best game in the franchise's history, even if it's not quite there yet.
Goro Majima's swashbuckling adventure is a ton of fun to play with some of the series' most thrilling beat 'em up combat and compelling side distractions, despite its messy main narrative.
Avowed is a well-written and cohesive fantasy escape that thoughtfully ramps from modest to grandiose, though small bits of uneven execution slightly detract from an otherwise impressive experience.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a dense numbers-driven RPG and a remarkable improvement from its predecessor, with an immersive 15th century setting, satisfying role-playing, and impressive cinematic chops.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 manages to improve in some areas while stumbling a bit in others, but still manages to deliver an exciting tale; here is our review.
A solid search-action game coupled with an incredible musical score makes for an easy recommendation.
Taking the long-running hack n' slash series into a fully-fledged action RPG experience, developer Omega Force has revived this series revolving around the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a stunning fashion at the cost of scaling back what it used to offer before.
Over fifteen years since an initial release, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a lovingly executed refresh of a series classic.
At its core, Freedom Wars is still very much the same game as the PlayStation Vita original, warts and all. It has the same frustrating pacing, the same story that while conceptually interesting maybe doesn't fully deliver on that promise in practice. As fun as the high-speed action combat can be, it's still very limited in what you can actually do; and the scope of missions and the areas they take place in certainly betray the game's history as a handheld title from a decade prior. Still, even if it was merely a time capsule - I'd still be glad that Freedom Wars got to be remembered. It's a real treat, then, that this remaster has done an admirable job to polish up a game that for many Vita fanatics was the high point of the system's life. I can't say that Freedom Wars: Remastered is worth playing for those who never had the chance to play the original, but it would be nice if this wasn't the last we see of the world inside the Panopticon.
With Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, Falcom had a chance to deliver the definitive version of a classic, but the end result is just a good portable version of a fantastic game. Newcomers to the game or those who have only played modern Ys games should absolutely get Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, but I can't help but feel disappointed with what could've been. I'll still be replaying Ys: The Oath in Felghana through this new release on PS5 and Switch, but hopefully Falcom handles a potential future Memoire release better.
