RPG Fan's Reviews
Still a great game, worth playing if you haven't played the series and enjoy the genre.
While it struggles to figure out which audience it actually wants to appeal to, World of Final Fantasy Maxima is an enjoyable spinoff with a wealth of gameplay content.
Fallout 76 is an underwhelming and disappointing mess, but may have the potential for greatness if Bethesda chooses to support it long-term.
The busiest gamers who can't dive deep may find a pearl in shallow waters.
One of the most charming and heartbreaking games I've played.
One of, if not the best mystery adventures released to date.
If you want more Ace Attorney, Spirit of Justice will keep you entertained for hours on end!
Unfortunately, with no story to speak of, the relatively small playlist, and the overall mediocre gameplay, it's a hard recommendation otherwise. When Atlus decides to make Persona 1/2 Dancing or the future Persona 6 Dancing, they might want to consider changing the gameplay and adding a story mode like they had the first time around.
I'll always want the mainline games, and I don't see myself continually coming back to Let's Go like I have done the standard entries, but as a gateway for newer, younger players, I can't think of anything more perfect that Let's Go. I can't wait to see the smiles on kids' faces as they start up their first ever Pokémon adventure.
A staple steampunk fantasy RPG that has learned well from its predecessors.
God Wars: Future Past is overall an entertaining SRPG that doesn't stray too far away from its roots.
The Council continues to be unabashedly unpredictable in its twists and turns, but Episode Four's character developments leave much to be desired. Its Social Influence system remains a fun mechanic, but an "overpowered" Louis renders the skill tree mostly moot.
Creating a "good" H.P Lovecraft game in 2018 is probably an impossible task, but Call of Cthulhu is a valiant effort.
A brilliantly unique experience later soddened with unusual game design decisions.
For the most part, this is the same game released fifteen years ago, but with HD graphics. While this game feels and plays like a true classic, players will likely wish the remake went a bit further with its changes, especially when it comes to the controls and sound quality.
I'm glad I played Seeker, Slayer, Survivor. This is an adequate DLC for an already phenomenal game.
Death Mark is a genuinely scary experience that would be stronger if it didn't feel obliged to fall back on out-of-place cheesecake shots.
If Origins left you unsure about the series' new direction as an action RPG, Odyssey will make you a believer.
The Greater Good's balanced gameplay was lovely, but that's not enough to cut the mustard. An edgier plot with dynamic storytelling featuring boldly designed and engagingly deep characters would have elevated this merely serviceable game into something worth recommending.
If you're looking forward to Shenmue III, this is the perfect time to brush up on the series.
