RPG Site's Reviews
The Outer Worlds 2 is one step forward, one step back, and sometimes one step to the side in an enjoyable RPG whose commentary on consumerism bleeds into the game's own position.
With its grand return to Kalos, Gamefreak has delivered a Pokemon game like no other.
NIS America aims to deliver the definitive version of Disgaea 7 for the franchise's Nintendo Switch 2 debut, but it should've been a bit better.
Built with the current generation of hardware in mind at last, this new Digimon Story entry triumphs in fully realizing the vibrant liveliness of the Digital World as it brings along a wealth of solid systems and mechanics to not only make it one of the best Digimon games ever, but just a damn good game in general.
Hades II is a triumph in every way, and the degree to which the studio has built on the original makes it feel like we have gotten two sequels in one.
For players who grew up loving '90s anime or those fascinated by experimental mechanics in RPGs, Wander Stars is worth experiencing. It may not fully deliver on the limitless potential of words, but when it hits, it feels as satisfying as the perfect sentence – or punch - landing exactly where it should.
Lost Soul Aside wore on me pretty quickly, with its repetitive arena-to-arena flow, characters I never spent enough time to care about or what happened to them, and unpolished issues and quirks. Sometimes being "cool" just doesn't cut it.
Final Fantasy Tactics is back in this brand new remaster that not only refines the experience for a modern palette, but also makes one of the best SRPGs out there easy for players to enjoy again.
Not just a remake for fans of the original, but an excellent starting point for newcomers to both RPGs and the Trails series itself.
Despite an interesting premise and top-notch presentation, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree only manages to be an average roguelike action RPG, failing to elevate itself beyond the ordinary.
Despite some missed potential and a frustratingly poor localization, Shuten Order lands with such a tremendous note that it's worth experiencing. What it lacks in cohesion, it makes up for in spirit.
At best, Varlet is a boring command-based RPG with social sim elements. At worst, Varlet is a fundamentally broken game.
Grand Bazaar has made a grand return, even if some elements have become unfocused in the transition to HD.
OFF represents pure, unfiltered artistic expression, and while I can't fully piece the puzzle together, the process of trying is rewarding.
2 1/2 years after its original launch, Wild Hearts has found a second life on Nintendo Switch 2
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is wonderfully bleak and ambitious, though the experience is marred by a lack of polish that frustratingly still feels like early access.
Superfans of the series might find something to love if they dig deep enough – but Konami's Edens Zero, more than anything, is another grim reminder of the unrealized potential of anime-based video games.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an impressive synthesis of Assassin's Creed game design principles from across the series' history, ably blending the sprawling scope of later entries with the focus of the game's earlier eras.
Chengu-based developer Leenzee's debut game possesses an impressive world that's dazzling to behold and features solid gameplay systems, yet the state of its PC version on a technical level holds it back from greatness.
A perfectly serviceable dungeon crawler that leans a little on the bland side, but there's still enough here to satisfy people with a deep urge for dungeon crawling or anime slapstick.
