RPG Site's Reviews
If you are looking for a JRPG that encapsulates the summer vacation experience, this one may very well be for you.
An endearing vignette in the Life is Strange universe that shows what the series is like when it's at its best.
The weird need to reinvent itself onto a competitive format has damaged this newest Gundam game every step of the way.
Ys VIII on Switch manages to offer the best handheld version of the game, but it comes with its own fair share of problems that hold it back.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition lives up to its moniker, and makes a compelling argument for both fans and newcomers of the game to pick it up. It's a welcome addition to the Switch's library, though anyone that already had their fill elsewhere shouldn't feel the need to upgrade.
This dungeon crawler takes heavy influence from Shin Megami Tensei but mostly feels like a poor imitation.
Vampyr is ambitious for sure, but with ambition comes risk, and unfortunately, here it provides very little in the way of rewards.
Riddled with extremely tedious design decisions and frustrating technical hiccups, not even a believing heart can save this trainwreck.
Nepenthe is basically a a fever dream you had as a kid. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you.
As it stands, I still believe this is a must for those that wish to have a bit more from the game, but those who do not already own Elder Scrolls Online would perhaps be more suited to wait for a sale or perhaps a friend or two to experience the game with.
A vibrant and visually stunning rogue-like that boasts an exhilarating combat system and an immensely enjoyable shopkeeping mechanic.
A little more approachable but still a fantastic dungeon crawling experience.
With three more episodes to come, it wasn't a surprise to discover that The Council: Episode 2 - Hide and Seek was more transitionary by design. It has its fair share of minor revelations to make, but, continuing to be hampered by the same technical issues, it's important the next episode needs to up the ante and correct some missteps before my interest in the whole spectacle falls apart.
With its bland story and uninteresting characters, this is a series that is in a dire need of a substantive reboot.
More than enough new ideas have been thrown at The Council to make it stand out from the crowd, and, while flaws are clearly evident in the three hours that you will spend with this first episode, it makes for a promising start for what is left to come.
Steins;Gate 0 adds a lot of characters to the mix this time around, but perhaps the characters that it adds aren't used to their full potential.
With clever gameplay refinements, strong mechanics, and a smartly integrated narrative, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is one of the genre's best.
A masterfully crafted game ported to near perfection.
This grim and stressful city-building survival management game is well worth your time.
It's pound for pound the best the series has been, illuminating all of its strong points in a more robust and better-looking package. While a few of these changes won't be everyone's cup of tea, fans will appreciate the added interactivity and quality of life improvements. I just have a hard time recommending this if you already beat the original Megadimension VII.
