RPG Fan's Reviews
"Beach Episode" demonstrates both the staying power and versatility of the Freebird Games formula, both in terms of narrative pacing and evocative scenario.
Reynatis is a greatly flawed experience that is simultaneously scathing and vapid, gorgeous and murky, and fun and frustrating in practically every element.
Famicom Detective Club’s third entry will sate fans but isn’t compelling enough to bring in new players.
This roguelike heartily embraces trappings of piracy and life on the high seas that flips the traditional pirate ghost story on its head to offer more than appears at first glance.
Although it may not be perfect, Keylocker is an experience unlike many you will find in the genre.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon is a thoroughly robust, entertaining RPG adventure.
It may spread itself a little thin in pulling from so many influences, but Beyond Galaxyland offers a decent story, intriguing graphic design, and compelling combat dynamics.
Oracle of Seasons is a nostalgic game with all the ingredients of an excellent adventure game, but the core season-changing mechanic is not implemented well.
Wannabe detectives and lovers of the occult need to check out The Case of the Golden Idol. Just make sure to play the original PC release.
Castlevania Dominus Collection brings together three classics of the genre that are still worthwhile in a loving, complete package.
A brisk cooperative romp that feels like a sugar high that lasts just as long.
This revamp of The Answer improves the original experience, but that experience still mostly revolves around hours of dungeon crawling.
A quality combination of pixel-art, turn-based JRPG, and Metroidvania. A recipe for monster-collection success.
Celestia: Chain of Fate is a sizable and engaging romantic fantasy visual novel.
A trip down memory lane for some that excels in parts, but feels opaque for much of the journey.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War is an average mobile RPG adaptation of an enjoyable anime side story, bogged down by a horrible translation.
An unmissable exemplar of its genre and video game storytelling at its absolute finest.
No objections here! The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection are an incredible pair of games, and worthy spin-offs from the main series.
Date A Live: Ren Dystopia is an engaging visual novel that series fans will enjoy. What Date A Live fan wouldn’t want to experience hijinks with their favorite characters and meet a new one who could potentially become a favorite? The game is hollow without prior exposure to the Date A Live light novels, anime, and especially the Rio-Reincarnation visual novel (with all its included extras), so I recommend Ren Dystopia to established fans only.
Though Wasteland Remastered missed some opportunities to better cater to the current generation, the core product is likely worth exploring for fans of CRPGs and/or Fallout fans.
