RPG Fan's Reviews
Not a game I can recommend, but a laudable attempt at building on a beloved world with a tone shift.
Myst is an evergreen classic that deserves your attention and patience.
Town of Zoz is a beautiful game with a big heart that is sadly too frustrating, buggy, and shallow in its mechanics to recommend.
The Adventures of Elliot transcends its minor limitations with gorgeous settings, addictive gameplay, and ends as a magical experience destined for a place in the hearts of RPGFan readers everywhere.
Fun but with a few flaws that might be deal-breakers to certain Pokémaniacs.
Birushana: Winds of Fate is a follow-up otome VN that largely delivers.
An intelligently designed action RPG that will scratch the itch to explore and fight big baddies.
One of the most emotionally devastating games I've ever played, rendered in a world worth every second spent exploring it. I only wish I didn't have to leave, but then again, saying goodbye is the point.
Coffee Talk Tokyo is a pure, comforting delight for both new and returning players.
The Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is the definitive way to play the trilogy, yet with no upgrade path or save transfers, people who own the games already should wait for a sale.
Ultimately, Galaxy Princess Zorana’s compelling gameplay loop and high replayabilty is worth its steep learning curve.
Starbites delivers tight, nostalgic tactical combat, but a thin story, and sometimes banal world hold this JRPG back.
Traysia is terrible game that should have stayed buried in obscurity.
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is simultaneously too beholden to the structure and design established by Disco Elysium, yet fails to capture the same sense of immersion and authentic representation of humanity that made its predecessor so special.
Nitro Gen Omega delivers a tactical challenge that captures the pure joy of a Saturday morning cartoon, even if its bland narrative and brutal difficulty prevent it from becoming a true classic.
Vultures - Scavengers of Death is a worthwhile genre-blending experiment with solid mechanics and strong atmosphere let down by significant technical issues and slavish devotion to its inspirations.
A journey that you never knew you needed, but one that you will be glad to have taken, once the fear subsides.
Beyond its expansions and years of patching, Pillars of Eternity remains fundamentally the same game. I still hold it and its sequel in equal regard, for very different reasons.
A breezy romp through the afterlife that’s never as funny or as sad as it could be but may possess you all the same.
Death by Scrolling is a functional game. It controls well, is feature complete, and is mostly bug-free, but it lacks the spark needed to make it truly compelling. Recent updates have added new content and breathed some life into the experience, but the core remaining so bare still makes it a difficult game to recommend, unless you’re specifically looking for a stripped-down, low-commitment take on the genre.
