RPG Fan's Reviews

Aug 1, 2021

My time with Osteoblasts was a mixture of confusion, frustration, intrigue, challenge, and laughing at the absurdity of what was going on or what I was battling with. While I had fun in some instances, I spent much of my time sighing as I missed yet another attack that would extend battle for another minute or so. There is a lot to like in the game, but it feels like it’s laser-targeted at the crowd who enjoys wandering around dungeons in a masochistic rage. As someone who isn’t the biggest fan of dungeon RPGs, Osteoblasts didn’t quite click with me. That said, despite being a game about skeletons, it certainly has a lot of heart.

A huge step down from the first game. Only for the most die-hard retro fans.

An interesting concept that needs a little bit more work to make a compelling game.

Aside from its diversity and occasional cute character moments, Half Past Fate is largely forgettable.

"The whole affair felt either rushed or like a product borne from a lack of experience."

...since the enemies grow stronger as I grow stronger, these miniscule increases in stats only keep me afloat, and never add anything interesting to how I approach enemies.

An unfortunate failure to launch that suffers under the weight of its well-intended gameplay.

Aug 21, 2019

I'm frustrated because I wanted to like Oninaki a lot more than I do. It's absolutely not a bad game; rather, it's yet another "serviceable" outing from Tokyo RPG Factory, who continue to try their hardest.

Tardy's uncomfortable sci-fi atmosphere and beautiful pixel visuals are the biggest successes for this otherwise by-the-numbers adventure game.

Style without substance, State of Mind never pushes the boundaries of its genre stereotypes.

The very definition of mediocre, Shining Resonance Refrain fails to stand out from the crowd in another packed year of RPGs.

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.

If you can get your hands on a Super NES Classic, you may be better off playing the original instead.

Probably best reserved for the most diehard fans, but even they should enter with caution.

The clumsiest Atelier title since Rorona, Atelier Firis lacks the heart, soul, and polish of its predecessors.

Fans of Suda51 may find something to love, but The Silver Case is a mess whose flaws far outweigh its strengths.

It�s far from great, but sometimes just being good really is good enough.

Tokyo Babel could've been so much better, but it tries so hard to be epic only to result in an overlong and boring narrative.

Magical Eyes isn't the worst visual novel on Steam by far, but there's plenty more out there that are more deserving of your time.
