RPG Fan's Reviews
A flawed Paper Mario-like with potential.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an engaging turn-based take on the MH series with plenty to do and a heartfelt narrative.
Pokémon Pokopia scratches the creature collection itch in a new social and town-building simulation context, proving that Pokémon is one of the most versatile franchises in the medium.
Etrange Overlord is a brave departure for its developers, and is worth playing, even if it's not destined to be regarded as a classic.
Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights is an entertainingly sweet otome.
Scott Pilgrim EX is at its strongest when it dotes on (and lets you beat up) gaming’s past.
Code Vein II can be both fun and frustrating in equal measure.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment gives players a lot of options for approaching its gameplay, but with some notable exclusions in the playable character department.
If you have been eagerly anticipating a worthy successor to Disco Elysium, Esoteric Ebb does a respectable job filling that void while offering some of its own fresh ideas.
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.
