RPG Fan's Reviews
NieR: Automata takes what was great about NieR and adds some fantastic action gameplay on top of it.
A dense and impenetrable creature-management simulation that relishes in gut-punching the player every time they make progress.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin offers only minor tweaks to serious gameplay issues of the original game. Nonetheless, it still remains a wholly enjoyable online experience, just don't expect much from the singleplayer experience.
Although brief, the game's flow meanders as sluggishly as its central characters.
Nioh nails the combat and sense of danger, but things get repetitive fast and I'm hungry for new challenges.
Tales of Berseria still has that same old Tales of feel, but it brings some much needed revitalisation to the series.
Not a bad game, but impossible to recommend to anybody.
Final Chapter Prologue is a great game for series veterans, but it's severely lacking in content compared to previous collections.
Steins;Gate 0 would be excellent if it was about one-fifth of its length, but its constant missteps make it difficult to recommend to any but the most ardent Steins;Gate fans.
A technically inferior version of the original Atelier Shallie, but its narrative additions are worth seeking out for hardcore fans.
Good for contemplating the line between security surveillance and invasion of privacy.
Not Daedalic's best.
This is the kind of game that makes you happy Kickstarter is a thing.
The Little Acre is all too fleeting an experience, but it's adorable, sweet, and full of potential.
An inspired entry to the venerable series.
A worthy flagbearer.
Skip it unless you're a diehard Sword Art Online fan.
NIS fans should definitely check this one out, while general SRPG fans may enjoy its quirky spin on battle.
Ember is a great gateway game for newcomers to the genre, but not for anyone looking for a game with actual substance.
Filled with quirkiness, wonder, and exploration, Burly Men at Sea is certainly a niche game targeted more towards children and adults who want to be kids again. Not everyone will find it a pleasant journey, but I suspect more will be surprised by its charm than not — even if it does not last.
