RPG Fan's Reviews
Eredia is another RPG Maker game that falls far short in rising above mediocrity.
The must-skip hit of the winter.
Re: Hollow Fragment is an appropriate title for yet another shallow licensed game.
A visually appealing but ultimately trite series of references to much better games.
I entirely regret purchasing this game.
Kitaria Fables is an action RPG with a failed farming component. Hell, even the action RPG aspect is failed. The dialogue, while cute and child-like, goes on and on with more telling and less showing. On its surface, this looks like a fun kids game, but the punishing enemies and excessive text tell otherwise. I’m not sure who this is for. Actually, I’d say it’s for no one. In no way is this any fun. It felt like work from beginning to end, and I can’t even say that’s because I was doing any farming.
Fans of this archaic throwback to Wizardry dungeon crawling of old may enjoy the nostalgia captured here, but those craving story and more engaging gameplay best look elsewhere.
An utterly dissatisfying waste of a game.
Chinatown Detective Agency does some things right, but where it fails, it falls hard.
I know this is beautiful — how bad could it be — but please avoid it at all costs, no matter how cheap it is on sale.
Overdose is certainly the strongest and most improved version of Caligula Effect out there, but I still have a hard time recommending it.
Creeping Terror feels like your typical horror movie that one would watch to get a cheap, quick scare but proceed to forget about once it's over.
An uninspired sequel that feels like it was rushed out the door.
Alchemic Cutie is an adept of adorableness that's in need of an elixir to smooth out the bugs, improve tutorials, and make it that bit more manageable and engaging.
In short, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is a potentially incredible and enjoyable MMO that is ruined by archaic gameplay systems, poor monetization practices, and a total lack of content. Hopefully, in the future, a lot of these things will be fixed, but at launch, New Genesis is what it is: a game released in 2021 that’s stuck in bad practices from 2012.
There are better Grimm-esque fairy tales out there.
In this way, I would argue Left Alive is the purest survival game ever: if you can play to the end, you can survive anything.
Creating a "good" H.P Lovecraft game in 2018 is probably an impossible task, but Call of Cthulhu is a valiant effort.
Fallen Legion has some innovative ideas that shake up the action RPG formula a bit, but the lackluster execution fails to capitalize on its promise.
Amusing for a weekend, but that's about it.
