RPG Fan's Reviews
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.
Rune Factory 4 Special is a delightful and charming farming sim, even in a post-Stardew Valley world.
A successor to the extremely unique action game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, The Lost Child is a decently average dungeon crawler that plays it almost too safe.
Cindered Shadows, while not a vital piece of DLC, is an entertaining side story that rewards Fire Emblem: Three Houses players patient enough to partake in it.
With Yakuza 4, we start to see the modern vision of the series take shape, while also serving as an enjoyable entry on its own!
No one should play this. Whatever your genre or thematic preference, there are assuredly several better options.
Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix is a serviceable SRPG that brings little new to the table but might satisfy an old-school itch.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions' deep battle system, light-hearted story, bright aesthetics, and catchy J-pop soundtrack are JRPG bliss.
Despite occasionally feeling dated, Yakuza 3 still offers a fun experience for fans of the series.
A fun strategy RPG that offers something for everyone but lacks an enjoyable story, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics assumes players are fans of the original movie, which is absolutely required viewing to get the most out of this game.
An incredibly addictive gameplay experience that ropes you in, dazzling you with its unique world and storytelling, that you will quickly lose sleep over.
Mythic Ocean is a very cool game. I enjoyed my time with it, and people looking for an engaging visual novel with an open-world feel and relaxed pace will like this one. I wish I had more to say about Mythic Ocean, but I really don’t, because it’s a solid game that doesn’t really do anything wrong. There is a demo available on Steam, so visual novel fans should definitely give it a whirl.
If you're looking to dive into a world and have the time to spare, Iceborne expands on an already massively satisfying experience.
Cthulhu Saves Christmas is a stocking stuffer you'll want to open!
I completed this game three times and I'm still left hungry and unsatisfied.
Don't let first impressions deter you away from Cross Rays, as you will be delightfully surprised at the amount of content and eye-candy it possesses.
Heroland has charming character art, hilarious dialogue, and a unique premise. Unfortunately, its style can't make up for its repetitive, monotonous gameplay and unwieldy length.
At times brutally difficult, and others frustratingly random, SaGa Scarlet Grace: Ambitions takes some big risks to ensure it's highly satisfying and incredibly rewarding to play through.
An utterly delightful game.
