RPG Fan's Reviews
Tales of Berseria is still a high point of the series and the genre with its excellent storytelling, but the baffling decision to port a game that is readily available on modern platforms is puzzling.
Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive edition of a stellar action RPG, but those who’ve already experienced Adol and Karja's adventures might not find enough here to justify a return trip.
If you value creativity over polish in your Souls-likes, Another Crab's Treasure is an easy recommendation.
Fans of the first will feel right at home on the shores of The Mermaid's Curse as it cements the Paranormasight formula.
Angeline Era is a successful experiment in how action RPGs might have evolved in the 3rd dimension, lacking a driving narrative but delivering an engaging gameplay experience from start to finish.
Under the Island nails the exploration and puzzle solving side of the Zelda formula, but lacks the narrative hooks or tight combat encounters players might expect.
If you believe strategy RPGs had their heyday around the turn of the last millenium, Disciples: Domination offers hours of tactical combat and unit tinkering.
REANIMAL creatively and seriously explores... something about humans.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is the biggest misfire in RGG Studio history, filled with baffling and offensive decisions that genuinely makes me worried about the future direction of the franchise.
A roguelite strategy RPG if ever there was one, and chock-full of off-putting and/or cute kitties.
Nioh 3 hits hard where it counts and stumbles in the spaces between.

Hermit and Pig knows what it wants to say, and it delivers that poignant message between bouts of silliness and self-depricating jokes that strike the perfect vibe for turbulent times.
Cassette Boy brings neat ideas and some unfortunate baggage from its closest inspirations, leaving an experience that is novel yet underrealized.
If this game lands for you, it will be an immense success!
The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon wonderfully sets the stage for a phenomenal conclusion.
War never changes. Fallout 76 does.
Tales of Xillia Remastered brings the original to new and returning audiences with welcomed convenience features, even if some classic features are still a bit cumbersome.
The remnants of Telltale are back in full force with a superhero workplace comedy that's up there with the late studio's best, despite a few stumbles along the way.
Rue Valley excels in brief snippets, but forces players through long spans of laborious exploration.
