RPG Fan's Reviews
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.
CrossCode is one of the most endearing and fun action RPGs I've ever played, though it's not without its frustrations.
Torna is that rare piece of DLC that has the potential to surpass the original.
Octopath Traveler is unapologetically old-school, and would not have been out of place if it had released back in the golden age of JRPGs.
A lackluster roguelike in a sea of high quality.
Mary Skelter: Nightmares varies nicely from your typical turn-based JRPG. With a darker atmosphere than most games, the art and music is really what defines it. If you can overlook some of the repetitive combat and dialogue, this game has a lot to offer and provides an overall great experience.
