RPG Fan's Reviews
This is your starter's RPG, a taste for anyone who is unfamiliar with the genre. For those that are familiar, this is a very standard RPG that is neither good nor bad.
MidBoss struggles to be an engaging experience.
Dream Daddy is a sharp and humorous visual novel that unfortunately erases the notion of queerness from male-male relationships.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception functions well as a visual novel. Unfortunately, the rest of the game suffers, with a battle system devoid of difficulty or punishment and an agonizingly slow start. Be prepared for hours of boredom before getting to the good parts.
A mesmerizing world with equally enchanting allies, but feels like an interactive hiccup.
This is not the Persona you're looking for, but battles are a blast.
The video game equivalent of a summer popcorn movie.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a superb RPG. Regardless of how you feel about the original, the new job system and overall gameplay tweaks ensure that this remaster is a worthy addition to your catalogue.
If you're looking for a game that harks back to the NES Final Fantasy games, then look no further.
The distilled quintessence of everything you love about the Harvest Moon games.
Ever Oasis is a competent blend of simulation and action RPG that revels in its celebration of nature's bounty.
A slow but solid start to the series that should please fans of the movies.
Under Pressure provides more of the same with plenty of room for improvement.
A must-buy for Diablo II Necromancer fans, still worth it for anyone else.
An enjoyable, light jaunt that is best played while Netflix binging.
River City: Knights of Justice has the potential to be a quick and dirty fantasy brawl, but instead it ends up a tedious exercise in frustration.
Episode Prompto is fun to play, and it's nice to see the character fleshed out even more; however, the script is far too cheesy and suffers from such bad pacing that it's hard to recommend it to anyone but Prompto fans.
An expertly crafted story for those looking for substance and introspection.
Shadows of Valentia helps Gaiden gain relevance in this day and age by infusing it with some of the best parts of recent Fire Emblem games, even if some of Gaiden's outdated elements bring the game down.
2064: Read Only Memories isn't just a gorgeous homage to Japanese-style adventure games of the late 1980s and early 1990s, it's inclusive, positive, and heartwarming.
