RPG Fan's Reviews
If you can look past Cyberpunk's technical issues and the noise that has trailed it since its bungled beginnings, you'll find a gem of an RPG that's rife with promise and well worth your time.
An enjoyable, if flawed, classically-styled JRPG experience.
Elex II can be entertaining in all the wrong ways, but as a sequel, it's just more of the same.
Final Fantasy VI is an incredible classic RPG, and the pixel remaster is currently the definitive way to experience it.
Atelier Sophie 2 is an incredibly high quality and wonderfully crafted follow-up to the original, and one of the best Atelier games to date.
Elden Ring is a landmark title that I hope shapes the future of what this industry can do; maybe we can one day point at this time in 2022 and note that this is when gaming took a giant leap
If you want a deep adventure that's worth a lot of your time, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous delivers, but factors surrounding the game are troubling.
This is one of those sequels where the developers have really upped their game in just about every way, and even though I’ve now finished the main campaign, I still can’t wait to play more of it!
Maglam Lord is a entertaining, albeit simple, action RPG with a wonderful story and well-done VN elements.
There is fun to be had and lessons to be learned, but it is a true test of your patience and dedication.
The Forsaken Maiden is a gentle game that challenges JRPG narratives, but despite its unconventional appearance, it comfortably sticks to what works with its gameplay.
While no particular element of Rune Factory 4 Special stands out, the game sums to a better experience than its component parts.
There are sparks of greatness all throughout Moonglow Bay but are almost all buried beneath a mountain of technical issues.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a welcomingly new take on the franchise, designed precisely for getting lost in.
The combat system of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light works great, but it's let down by frustrating maps and poorly presented information.
A decent kinetic otome visual novel for the Switch.
Fans of adventure games, RPGs, and philosophy should book a trip to The Forgotten City ASAP, but they need to prepare to lose themselves once they arrive.
think The Sundew is worth a go if you’re looking for a distraction, but expect a fleeting bit of entertainment with some confusing caveats. Considering that this title was obviously a labor of love from one person, at the end of the day, I enjoyed my time with The Sundew overall and am looking forward to seeing what future works may come from this promising developer.
Nobody Saves the World provides a large toybox and an enjoyable world in which to play with it. The Forms at the center of its gameplay feel significantly different from one another and are all exciting to use once you get a handle on them. Thanks to the shareable abilities, you can also experiment with endless combinations of moves. The main story makes for a satisfying and entertaining 20-ish hours with some challenges still left over to complete. At the end of the day, everybody is somebody, even if you’re Nobody.
An enjoyable game that left me wanting more.
