RPG Fan's Reviews
Despite some flaws, Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond is an enjoyably short(er) RPG experience with beautiful visuals and surprising depth.
While it doesn't quite soar the heavens like its predecessor, Stormblood is ultimately a solid addition to Final Fantasy XIV, with plenty to see, loads to do, and lots of little improvements to make the whole experience better.
I enjoyed doing my taxes more than I enjoyed playing this game.
Dragon Quest XI S easily earns its title as the definitive edition of an amazing traditional JRPG.
Suited for those with a sense of humor who enjoy the idea of poking fun at just about anyone on a pedestal.
In spite of a few flaws, this game's delightful charm totally won me over.
Planet Stronghold 2 is a nuanced, well-crafted sci-fi RPG/visual novel hybrid that offers a lot of choice and replayability.
The huge effort and perceived budget that went into this game shows, and Sakura Wars makes a triumphant return after a 14-year retirement.
An exciting remake that recalls a sense of fun by injecting the right amount of "new" into what made the original a classic.
Persona 5 Royal is possibly the best enhanced port ever made, and it helps that the original material is still as amazing as ever. This is a must play for RPG fans.
The game has potential, but its execution is muddled.
A refreshing re-imagining of the beginning of Final Fantasy VII, Remake is at times wonderful but at others audacious, and I'm here for the ride.
An exemplar of how several complex systems can work seamlessly together.
The main story, while intriguing, may leave you wanting more; battles and music are definitely where patch 5.2 shines brightest.
A welcome addition to the fighting game genre that makes the wait for Relink that little bit easier.
Between the minigames, side quests, substories, idol simulator, and main story, Yakuza 5 offers a truly stunning value for your money.
Langrisser I & II are solid SRPGs for those looking for a well-rounded, old-school challenge.
Aside from its diversity and occasional cute character moments, Half Past Fate is largely forgettable.
Fans of this archaic throwback to Wizardry dungeon crawling of old may enjoy the nostalgia captured here, but those craving story and more engaging gameplay best look elsewhere.
Harebrained Schemes' BattleTech expertly captures the attrition, desperation, and destruction that is so present in the materials and literature of the larger BattleTech property. The RPG elements regarding your team are strong, the tactical gameplay is excellent, and the 'Mechs are spectacular.
