RPG Fan's Reviews
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.
While breaking all of the typical conventions of the genre, Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk somehow manages to stay true to the spirit of a JRPG. Although it's held back by repetitive combat and some disturbing cutscenes, the game has a lot to offer for hard-core fans of turn-based, dungeon exploration games, especially those with a darker sense of humor.
A capable introduction and healthy foundation.
A worthy flagbearer.
Metal Max Xeno lacks just about all of the characteristics that made the series interesting to begin with.
A great Sierra-style mystery game. Very enjoyable despite the lack of some major point-and-click gameplay features.
An enjoyable but extraordinarily safe follow-up that carries the torch for this beloved strategy RPG series into the next generation.
Heaven Will Be Mine is the no-bones-about-it queer Mobile Suit Gundam we've always wanted.
428: Shibuya Scramble's Western release is a miracle. Don't sleep on it.
If you haven’t played Undertale, do it. It’s a masterpiece.
Perseverance: Part 1 feels like a rushed endeavor. It's unpolished and the characters do not feel entirely fleshed out. Yet there is just enough potential that when the game ends on a cliffhanger, I find myself slightly interested in the next part of the story.
