RPG Fan's Reviews
Rune Factory 5 is loaded with fun, long-lasting content, and is difficult to put down even after the credits have rolled.
Fire Emblem Gaiden is full of great ideas, but they don't make up for the huge amount of boring or tedious maps.
Young Souls cleverly meshes beat-em-up and dungeon crawler elements to craft an experience that'll appeal to fans of either genre.
I expected Stranger of Paradise to be a game I had lots of qualms in recommending, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I want everyone to fall as deeply in love with it as I have.
A casual, charming RPG worth a few hours of your time.
EGGLIA Rebirth has a lot to offer, but also some poor design choices. Whether or not you can look past its weaknesses will mostly depend on your tolerance for mobile games.
Through its hilarity and romance, you can absolutely trust Variable Barricade to bring a smile to your face.
Chocobo GP does little new, and is trailing the pack compared to similar games. However, it brings Final Fantasy fan service to racing wonderfully and still remains a fun time, with a lot of potential growth via the planned Seasons.
If you can look past Cyberpunk's technical issues and the noise that has trailed it since its bungled beginnings, you'll find a gem of an RPG that's rife with promise and well worth your time.
An enjoyable, if flawed, classically-styled JRPG experience.
Elex II can be entertaining in all the wrong ways, but as a sequel, it's just more of the same.
Final Fantasy VI is an incredible classic RPG, and the pixel remaster is currently the definitive way to experience it.
Atelier Sophie 2 is an incredibly high quality and wonderfully crafted follow-up to the original, and one of the best Atelier games to date.
Elden Ring is a landmark title that I hope shapes the future of what this industry can do; maybe we can one day point at this time in 2022 and note that this is when gaming took a giant leap
If you want a deep adventure that's worth a lot of your time, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous delivers, but factors surrounding the game are troubling.
This is one of those sequels where the developers have really upped their game in just about every way, and even though I’ve now finished the main campaign, I still can’t wait to play more of it!
Maglam Lord is a entertaining, albeit simple, action RPG with a wonderful story and well-done VN elements.
There is fun to be had and lessons to be learned, but it is a true test of your patience and dedication.
The Forsaken Maiden is a gentle game that challenges JRPG narratives, but despite its unconventional appearance, it comfortably sticks to what works with its gameplay.
While no particular element of Rune Factory 4 Special stands out, the game sums to a better experience than its component parts.
