RPG Fan's Reviews
Mary Skelter Finale is an incredibly dense game. Dozens of unique gameplay mechanics, intriguing characters, and gigantic dungeons make up just a small portion of this gigantic dungeon crawler.
It's finally here and it was worth the wait.
Death's Gambit: Afterlife is a strong Soulslike action RPG with Metroidvania elements.
A decent entry in the Dark Pictures series that tries to iterate on the formula, with mixed results.
With improved performance, previously-paid DLC included, photo mode, and new content exclusive to the DX version, this is easily the best way to play Atelier Lydie & Suelle.
An outstanding remake with meaningful additions that will appeal to fans of the original and newcomers alike.
Kathy Rain: Director's Cut adds in some interesting additional content, but is fundamentally the same overall experience as its original release.
Marvel has a new champion in the video game realm, so make mine Guardians of the Galaxy.
Monster Crown has potential and some good ideas, but execution is lacking.
A fascinating idea with unfortunate execution set in a cute world.
I know this is beautiful — how bad could it be — but please avoid it at all costs, no matter how cheap it is on sale.
It's not a bad little game and it certainly has potential.
While Atelier Firis has a big heart and grand ambitions, it's held back by how 'stitched together' everything feels.
Crown Trick boldly combines turn-based RPG and roguelite gameplay to offer an addictive, thought-provoking experience that fans of either genre owe it to themselves to check out.
Samurai Warriors 5 is a breath of fresh air that breathes new life into the long-running series. The new coat of paint and new mechanics make the game fun to play and pleasant to look at.
I had a great time playing Xuan Yuan Sword 7 and can only hope that Western gamers will get the chance to experience more games in the series at some point. We’ve clearly been missing out on a compelling series if this entry is any indication! It might not have reinvented the action RPG wheel, but Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a well-rounded and incredibly solid take on the genre with a phenomenal story at its core.
Overall, Death’s Door is an enjoyable homage to 2D Zelda games with some additional quirky flair thrown in. It is a satisfying experience whose main drawback is its overall safeness, plus a lack of replayability. Some may also be turned off by the lack of extreme difficulty, which can be another source of replay value for many similar games. I would recommend Death’s Door to those looking for a nostalgia fix that won’t try your patience or just want to enjoy a memorable and contemplative audiovisual style.
An ambitious first game that stumbles occasionally but ultimately impresses with fun gameplay and extensive world-building.
It's a good game that takes inspiration from places you might not expect. For its specific blend of genres and its low price point, you can't do much better.
A fitting finale to a phenomenal trilogy, Impostor Factory explores life with depth and accessibility that respects the audience.
