RPGamer's Reviews
For what is supposed to be the next step forward for Pokémon, Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! feels like it has taken a few steps back.
While Dancing in Moonlight feels like half a game, the half it presents is quite good.
While its release rounds out the trio of games that have more focus on the moving and grooving than on good old turn-based combat, all the choreography in the world can’t make the game a satisfying product.
The Long Journey Home never attempts to make its journey particularly thrilling, but the deliberate pacing combines well with its risk-versus-reward elements and the simple enjoyment of travelling the stars.
The game may not manage to surpass what has come before, but, if nothing else, it does manage to hold its own and provide series fans with another fun chapter in the series.
Despite a grueling second half and an incomplete ending, the overall experience is enjoyable; everything it does right more than makes up for a few missteps.
Simply put, Mercenaries Wings is strategy RPG comfort food for any RPGamers hungry for a fix.
Labyrinth of Refrain will not disappoint those looking for a thorough first-person dungeon grind.
Thronebreaker gives those into the card game a good opportunity to test their skills and earn a few new cards and bonuses, while also offering an interesting way for those more into the narrative side of The Witcher the chance to enjoy more time in the world, though it never manages to portray the best of either element.
Outside of the stealth and action segments, none of the game is out and out bad, but a lot of it comes off as more middling than a success.
There are plenty of hack and slash titles available, and this one doesn’t stand out in any particularly positive way.
Hyakki Castle promises an interesting premise but can deliver on little else besides some pretty loading screen concept art.
If Kadokawa Games was hoping to kindle interest in future Metal Max titles in western audiences, Metal Max Xeno is not the game to get that particular job done.
While the art, animation, and sprite work all look better than ever, the game does not update any of the old, outdated mechanics that newer entries have fixed over the years.
Though it still suffers from some familiar issues, The World Ends with You remains an easy recommendation for new and returning players alike with its excellent character development and very appealing sense of style.
While never achieving the “great” part of its title, the game at least isn’t too far from hitting the “good” part.
Stardew Valley is an excellent game that let me quietly relax and enjoyably lose myself in for hours on end.
Cosmic Star Heroine is far more than a simple send-up of some of the genre’s most beloved classics.
Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption couldn’t get everything absolutely perfect, but no game ever really does. Instead, it got a whole lot of things just right, which was enough to counterbalance most issues.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is tasked with recapturing the magic of the first and return the series to a firm footing. In this it mostly succeeds, with exceptionally engaging strategic combat that is a considerable improvement over the original incarnation.
