RPG Fan's Reviews
A much more realistic take on the Elder Scrolls formula which will delight some fans of that series while frustrating others.
Amusing for a weekend, but that's about it.
A lovely debut title that makes me wonder what Quiet Bay Studio will come up with next.
A truly unique adventure, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is not that far from sweeter waters.
A novel, thematic conceit is the most interesting element of this repetitive experience; the rest is weighed down by crybaby characters and vague, unsatisfying gameplay objectives. Atelier is overdue for a revamp.
Batman: The Enemy Within is an excellent Telltale Games title in story and execution, but probably won't change the hearts or minds of players who want more choice efficacy in their adventure games.
The 25th Ward has a few cool ideas, yet they're almost always held back by outdated ignorance and rampant misogyny, turning what could have been a powerful avant-garde adventure game into a frustratingly juvenile monument to phallocentrism.
For those of you with strong attachments to the 80s, Crossing Souls is a sure cure for your nostalgia; for those without, Crossing Souls simply feels like a game that's trying too hard.
A sweet, whimsical adventure in a faraway land you'll love getting lost in.
If you can get your hands on a Super NES Classic, you may be better off playing the original instead.
Yakuza 6 keeps the focus on what's important and also shows a lot of great potential for what's to come next.
An explosive finale to the broiling wartime drama set up by Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds.
The must-skip hit of the winter.
A hidden co-op gem for action RPG fans.
In the wake of Labyrinth, The Eden of Grisaia is somehow able to end the series on a positive note, but it is still a disappointingly mixed experience in the grand scheme of things.
Worth playing, but you'll want a walkthrough.
Labyrinth might slake the thirst of players coming straight from Fruit, but it ultimately fails to live up to the standards set by its predecessor.
With a little bit more polish, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT could be great, but as it is now it's a huge disappointment.
Monster Hunter: World is a remarkable game. It's a rich, worthwhile experience that you'll sink hundreds and hundreds of hours into thanks to incredibly fun multiplayer and engaging gameplay. The new additions and simplified mechanics couple well with the buttery smooth combat, making the game accessible and enjoyable to both new and returning players. By breaking the traditional Monster Hunter mold, World successfully thrusts the global status of the series from beyond the niche and into the mainstream.
Quite possibly the best beat 'em up RPG hybrid out there to date.
