RPG Fan's Reviews
The Outer Worlds is a complex, compact sci-fi RPG that should be any spacer's first choice, especially when it is bundled with DLC and quality-of-life upgrades on modern consoles and PC.
A passionate love letter to traditional RPGs, pro wrestling, and upturned toy boxes.
Episode 2 shows consequences starting to develop from previous decisions, but whether you'll remember them is still waiting until next time.
A heartfelt story that demonstrates the positive impact online relationships and communities can have on people. A must-play.
Amped-up level design and non-linearity in how to approach missions elevate this strategic title in ways not seen in its forebearers.
Trouble Comes Twice is a wonderful slice-of-life visual novel.
A competent and enjoyable board game port for PC.
For those who can stomach its depictions of a young boy's tortured life (and mostly generic gameplay), Omori offers some of the most unforgettable moments you can find in a narratively ambitious indie RPG.
Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is an incredibly memorable visual novel boasting an amusing interactive musical experience.
Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains is a solid traditional RPG remaster held back by a lackluster English translation.
It's an okay start to the series, but with how little there is in Episode 1, more is needed to find out if the right decisions were made.
A legendary, ancient series is back and better than ever with more firepower and personality than Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Daniel Craig rolled into one.
Radiant Tale is an enjoyably dazzling fantasy otome VN.
Arcadian Atlas is a solid, concise SRPG crafted with a lot of heart.
24 Killers manages to succeed in carrying on the legacy of Love-de-Lic by carving out a unique identity and improving upon the more frustrating aspects of its inspiration. A must-play for any fan of experimental RPGs and quirky adventure games.
The narrative and translation leave a lot to be desired, but the cute aesthetic and core gameplay are enough to make it worth trying out if you enjoy tactical RPGs.
LISA: Definitive Edition takes all the good and bad of the original game, improves on it, and makes it more accessible for a new generation of people to experience.
Darkest Dungeon 2 brilliant, stunning, and an absolute blast to play, an exceptional evolution from the first game.
No faults can bring down an amazing story told in a unique way, serving as an example for storytelling-focused games moving forward.
A charming art style, modern UI, and many quality of life improvements make this the best way to experience the origin of the Atelier series.
