RPG Fan's Reviews
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's high points are among the series's best, but its lows, spanning across both bugs and design choices, are too egregious to ignore.
Minstrel Song remains a great JRPG, but it is harder to justify sinking time into it given the choice overload players face in this era.
Those invested in the series who haven't played this will find the best way to play it, while those with cursory interest may be left wanting.
Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants is the definitive collection of two vexing-yet-solid action RPGs.

It’s half decent... literally.
For the right players, Harvestella is a game of the year (or even generation) contender. Everyone else might be left wondering what they are missing.
Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon is only worth playing if you haven't already experienced the base game.
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon builds on the legacy of its predecessors with better features, a sweeping and comprehensive storyline, and a sense of cohesion rarely found in the roguelike genre.
In some respects, Once Again is a stronger storytelling experience than a gaming one, but both the heartfelt core message and its artistic presentation will surely resonate with some.
A beautiful and heartfelt historical fiction with heavy themes of religion, purpose, and the influence we have on others over time.
Pirated Code: Admin Edition is yet another solid title in both the Switch’s and Steam’s impressive visual novel lineups, and I’m glad that it’ll be coming to Xbox and PlayStation platforms, too, so that more people hopefully get the chance to try it out. It is a charming, touching sci-fi story with surprising depth and unlockable content, even with its shorter length. You might end up playing it in its entirety in a single day, but it will be an enjoyable day if the story resonates with you!
Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder is a hauntingly powerful visual novel experience.
Titan Station is a brief yet enjoyable immersive sci-fi graphic adventure.
Hilariously creative yet will also push the boundaries of what others find palatable.
A few improvements and some stellar battle scenarios in the second Mario + Rabbids make it a Mario party worth attending.
La Pucelle: Ragnarok offers plenty of tactical depth and whimsical charm while serving as a great look back at Nippon Ichi Software's history before Disgaea.
An excellent snack-sized title for fans of Shakespeare, magical girls, or JRPGs in general.
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a return to greatness thanks to a new and exciting spin on the action RPG combat the series is known for, the endearing dual protagonists, and a solid story that manages to dodge the pitfalls of its predecessors.
Shadows Over Loathing absolutely refines the formula of the Loathing series and serves as a more accessible but still clever alternative to older humorous adventure games.
