RPG Fan's Reviews
A capable introduction and healthy foundation.
A worthy flagbearer.
Metal Max Xeno lacks just about all of the characteristics that made the series interesting to begin with.
A great Sierra-style mystery game. Very enjoyable despite the lack of some major point-and-click gameplay features.
An enjoyable but extraordinarily safe follow-up that carries the torch for this beloved strategy RPG series into the next generation.
Heaven Will Be Mine is the no-bones-about-it queer Mobile Suit Gundam we've always wanted.
428: Shibuya Scramble's Western release is a miracle. Don't sleep on it.
If you haven’t played Undertale, do it. It’s a masterpiece.
Perseverance: Part 1 feels like a rushed endeavor. It's unpolished and the characters do not feel entirely fleshed out. Yet there is just enough potential that when the game ends on a cliffhanger, I find myself slightly interested in the next part of the story.
CrossCode is one of the most endearing and fun action RPGs I've ever played, though it's not without its frustrations.
Torna is that rare piece of DLC that has the potential to surpass the original.
Octopath Traveler is unapologetically old-school, and would not have been out of place if it had released back in the golden age of JRPGs.
A lackluster roguelike in a sea of high quality.
Mary Skelter: Nightmares varies nicely from your typical turn-based JRPG. With a darker atmosphere than most games, the art and music is really what defines it. If you can overlook some of the repetitive combat and dialogue, this game has a lot to offer and provides an overall great experience.
Delving into these beautiful dungeons, while repetitive, can be rewarding if players have the skill. Barring that, they will at least learn that a problem can be solved by throwing enough money at it and buying a better sword.
Major plot revelations and tense confrontations highlight what may be the most controversial episode of The Council yet.
The most refined and fun Yakuza experience to date, though you may feel a bit left out if you skipped the original.
DQXI is a fantastically fun romp through a gorgeous world that delivers on its promise of an epic, if conventional, JRPG adventure.
A great historical narrative for a difficult time period.
Charming beyond its flaws, players (especially young ones) will have fun adventuring with their dragon and learn that compassion, understanding, and good food can make the world a better place!
