Little Goody Two Shoes boxart

Little Goody Two Shoes Review

Just in time for Halloween, Little Goody Two Shoes takes players on a macabre jaunt through a not-so-friendly forest.

Lords of the Fallen (2023) boxart

Lords of the Fallen Review

Lords of the Fallen has a well-crafted world, interesting stories, cool bosses, and plenty of player customization on offer. However, a frustrating dual-world mechanic holds back this RPG from achieving excellence.

Long Gone Days boxart

Long Gone Days Review

Long Gone Days is a project that’s been in the works for many years. With grating hand holding, but a decent story and grounded characters, Long Gone Days is a good choice for those interested in a narrative-focused RPG.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest - The Adventure of Dai boxart

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Review

A disappointing game adaptation for one of the best Dragon Quest spin-off series that possesses major structural and gameplay shortcomings.

Everhood boxart

Everhood Eternity Edition Review

Everhood just wasn’t as thought-provoking as the subtitle “An Ineffable Tale of the Inexpressible Divine Moments of Truth” might suggest. While I found some enjoyment in the later part of the game, it didn’t hit all the right notes for me.

Cyberpunk 2077 boxart

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Review

Phantom Liberty itself is an all-time great expansion, taking all of the best elements of Cyberpunk 2077 and cranking them all up to eleven.

Lies of P boxart

Lies of P Review

Despite its unique weapon system and generally friendlier structuring, Lies of P hews a little too closely to its inspirations to rise above feeling like something of an also-ran. But even also-rans can be polished, attractive, and exciting experiences in their own right.

Sea of Stars boxart

Sea of Stars Review

Sea of Stars presents a potent mix of combat systems bolstered by a charming story and gorgeous graphical presentation that captures the essence of the turn-based classics.

Starfield boxart

Starfield Review

Starfield is wider, wilder, and more ambitious than I expected - but also shows surprising restraint in many areas. More than the sum of its parts, it's the best game of this type Bethesda has delivered.

Virgo Vs The Zodiac boxart

Virgo Vs The Zodiac Review

Virgo Vs The Zodiac is quite unique, and for the most part is better for it. Personally, I don’t see how a game that lets you ride an alpaca and purge heretics could’ve gone wrong. But the combat and systems don't shake up much over time.

Baldur's Gate 3 boxart

Baldur's Gate 3 Review

Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph, offering an incredible level of scope, depth, and reactivity that only comes around in role-playing games a couple of times a generation.

Atlas Fallen boxart

Atlas Fallen Review

Atlas Fallen is an average action RPG with some interesting Momentum combat mechanics, a passable open-world, subpar presentation, and a disappointing narrative.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical boxart

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Review

While Stray Gods is subtitled The “Roleplaying” Musical, it plays much more akin to a visual novel or adventure game than what one might call an RPG, though the musical part still applies. The music is especially fun and some tracks definitely would have a place in theatre.

Jagged Alliance 3 boxart

Jagged Alliance 3 Review

Jagged Alliance 3 is an excellent game, merging squad-based tactics and classic computer-style roleplaying in an entertaining veneer of cheesy action movies.

by Adam Vitale on 16 July, 2023

Miasma Chronicles boxart

Miasma Chronicles Review

While Miasma Chronicles' combat stylings are compelling, an undercooked narrative riddled with cliches, weak characters, and some glitchy behaviors hold this tactical RPG from its potential.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 boxart

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 Review

These furry children can hold so much trauma. Again.

Star Trek: Resurgence boxart

Star Trek: Resurgence Review

Dramatic Labs' narrative-driven entry in the Star Trek canon is a rocky ride, but a welcome one.

Chained Echoes boxart

Chained Echoes Review

Many independent RPG creators are inspired by the classics, but few succeed in their genre aspirations in the same way that Mattias Linda has.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story boxart

The Mageseeker - A League of Legends Story Review

Mageseeker's gorgeous pixel art aesthetic and exciting action combat, paired with interesting mechanics, make this a game that even non-League of Legends fans should check out.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor boxart

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review

Expanded and improved in nearly every way from Fallen Order, Respawn's latest crack at Star Wars is one to remember

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty boxart

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Review

While it succeeds in its own right, Wo Long doesn't quite reach the same heights as Team Ninja's Nioh 1 and 2.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! boxart

Like a Dragon: Ishin! Review

Like a Dragon: Ishin turns back the clock to the Bakumatsu period in Japan and its new remake is an excellent revitalization of an already solid entry in the Like a Dragon / Yakuza series as it finally launches in the west for the first time at last.

by Josh Torres on 17 February, 2023

Wild Hearts boxart

Wild Hearts Review

Beyond its unacceptable technical issues, lies one of the most unique takes on the Hunting Action genre in years.

by James Galizio on 16 February, 2023

One Piece Odyssey boxart

One Piece Odyssey Review

One Piece Odyssey unfortunately fits the “it takes twenty hours to get good” shoe. I find it difficult to recommend it to those who aren’t already fans of the series, and not just because it’s a mostly bland RPG.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion boxart

Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII Reunion Review

After almost 15 years, the story of Zack Fair has escaped the confines of its UMD prison and has emerged as one of Square Enix's best remaster offerings that new and old fans of Final Fantasy VII need to experience.
