RPG Fan's Reviews
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher builds on Monster Rancher 2's best aspects and represents the Ultraman universe well for a satisfying monster raising simulation experience.
Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is a good game whose small development team has big talent. The music alone is worth the price of admission. Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is an enjoyable, if challenging, 12-15 hour (closer to 20 if you do all the sidequests) romp for those willing to invest in thoroughly learning and experimenting with the play mechanics. Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is not for everyone, but if it sounds like your jam, you will love it.

With a great story, rewarding combat, and endearing characters, Fate/Samurai Remnant proves there is still room for single-player story-focused RPGs in a world where mobile gacha games dominate the market.
If Silent Hope's repetitive nature and lack of difficulty don't scare you and you are looking for a quick, addicting single player action RPG, that is pleasing to the eye and ear, look no further.
Phantom Liberty is a refreshingly tight and consistently gripping package with most of the most involving storytelling you will find in an RPG.
