The game isn’t without fault — greater variety in characters and levels along with more meaningful customization would be welcome — but most of the issues are minor in comparison to how much fun the game is to play.
With the lack of direction, the difficulty spikes, and the time it takes to upgrade skills and equipment, Rival Showdown is an exercise in frustration more than anything else.
For those looking to get into cRPGs, and even for those just searching for a great RPG, Divinity: Original Sin II is heartily recommended.
Nihon Falcom’s charm permeates throughout and its incredibly easy to get attached to Morimiya City and its residents.
The game plays to its strengths and mitigates its weaknesses well, providing an enjoyable experience that feels more involving as the timer ticks along.
Plenty of experimental RPGs failed miserably in the attempt, but Radiant Historia is one of the success stories.
Monster Hunter: World proves that Capcom is still king of this jungle.
This isn’t a game to play primarily for its story, considering that several others with whom I discussed the happenings could barely remember anything substantive, but actually playing through the dungeons was enjoyable.
A complete failure to make the setting interesting, insipid progression, and mediocre gameplay make for a thoroughly underwhelming experience, with the primary appeal being to fans of the franchise who simply want to see the characters extol the unshown virtues of fictional VRMMORPGs.
A couple of additions are nice, but the original game is easy to play via digital sources today and delivers mostly the same experience.
While notably simpler than The Ilvard Insurrection, Zwei: The Arges Adventure still manages to hold its own as a short, enjoyable RPG experience.
Backed up by modern technology, Lost Sphear offers a thoroughly engaging take on the classic RPG formula.
Overall, Demon Gaze II is still a strong and enjoyable dungeon crawler, albeit not without some flaws.
Miitopia isn't going to turn heads, nor grab the hardcore RPGamer crowd, but it's a fun little romp for those who want a much more compact and simple RPG experience.
Ni no Kuni II offers a fully immersive world, and takes players on a wholesome and fun adventure that is sure to appeal to the inner child in everyone.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is a celebration of the series, as well as a mindblowing finale to Kazuma and Haruka’s story.
While I would have preferred direct sequels or have the changes be more substantial and better-paced, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon is still a great swan song to mainline Pokémon games on the 3DS.
Minit is a rare exception of a game that leaves players wanting more, yet actually has the perfect length for its design.
Regalia certainly has a lot going for it, particularly in its audio and visual presentation, but its generic battles and some minor control and UI issues prevent the Royal Edition from truly ruling the realm.
While there may be a few interesting ideas in the story, it’s not worth suffering through the dungeons and needlessly verbose scenes to experience them.
