RPG Fan's Reviews
Cupid Parasite is a lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyable otome VN for romantic comedy fans.
Mary Skelter Finale is an incredibly dense game. Dozens of unique gameplay mechanics, intriguing characters, and gigantic dungeons make up just a small portion of this gigantic dungeon crawler.
It's finally here and it was worth the wait.
Death's Gambit: Afterlife is a strong Soulslike action RPG with Metroidvania elements.
A decent entry in the Dark Pictures series that tries to iterate on the formula, with mixed results.
With improved performance, previously-paid DLC included, photo mode, and new content exclusive to the DX version, this is easily the best way to play Atelier Lydie & Suelle.
An outstanding remake with meaningful additions that will appeal to fans of the original and newcomers alike.
Kathy Rain: Director's Cut adds in some interesting additional content, but is fundamentally the same overall experience as its original release.
Marvel has a new champion in the video game realm, so make mine Guardians of the Galaxy.
Monster Crown has potential and some good ideas, but execution is lacking.
A fascinating idea with unfortunate execution set in a cute world.
I know this is beautiful — how bad could it be — but please avoid it at all costs, no matter how cheap it is on sale.
It's not a bad little game and it certainly has potential.
While Atelier Firis has a big heart and grand ambitions, it's held back by how 'stitched together' everything feels.
Crown Trick boldly combines turn-based RPG and roguelite gameplay to offer an addictive, thought-provoking experience that fans of either genre owe it to themselves to check out.
Samurai Warriors 5 is a breath of fresh air that breathes new life into the long-running series. The new coat of paint and new mechanics make the game fun to play and pleasant to look at.
I had a great time playing Xuan Yuan Sword 7 and can only hope that Western gamers will get the chance to experience more games in the series at some point. We’ve clearly been missing out on a compelling series if this entry is any indication! It might not have reinvented the action RPG wheel, but Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a well-rounded and incredibly solid take on the genre with a phenomenal story at its core.
Overall, Death’s Door is an enjoyable homage to 2D Zelda games with some additional quirky flair thrown in. It is a satisfying experience whose main drawback is its overall safeness, plus a lack of replayability. Some may also be turned off by the lack of extreme difficulty, which can be another source of replay value for many similar games. I would recommend Death’s Door to those looking for a nostalgia fix that won’t try your patience or just want to enjoy a memorable and contemplative audiovisual style.
An ambitious first game that stumbles occasionally but ultimately impresses with fun gameplay and extensive world-building.
It's a good game that takes inspiration from places you might not expect. For its specific blend of genres and its low price point, you can't do much better.
