Valkyria Chronicles 4 Review
After a decade of waiting for a return to home consoles, Valkyria Chronicles 4 brings its unique art style and combat back to the big screen. The strategy is certainly up to snuff but the story struggles to match the excellence of the original.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country Review
The promised expansion for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has arrived, taking both fans and new players a chance to go back 500 years before the main game’s events. Torna ~ The Golden Country does a fine job of providing a mature tale and fresh combat that will satisfy both.
Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut Switch Impression
Wasteland 2 is now available on Nintendo Switch. Its Director’s Cut has been available on console for a few years now, but there’s a lot to appreciate about being able to play it on Nintendo’s hybrid system.
In Memoriam: Select Works by Michael A. Cunningham
RPGamer continues its tribute to Michael A. Cunningham, this time with a rewind to some of his best works. Included are interviews, podcasts, and other contributions he’s made across the gaming community.
Backloggin’ the Year – August 2018 Edition
Another month has passed, and Sam is once again behind on her posting schedule. Let’s see what games she knocked out of her backlog in the month of August.
Adventure Corner: Distress
In this installment, Sam Wachter plays a horror visual novel called Distress, and recognizes that she wants to rewatch Strange Days. Given she isn’t a fan of horror, why does she do these things to herself?
Adventure Corner: Punch Line
RPGamer’s Adventure Corner returns to take a look at another title not usually within our coverage but of potential interest to readers. This edition looks at Zero Escape creator Kataro Uchikoshi’s Punch Line, an adventure visual novel that originally started out as an anime series.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Import Review
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 concludes the Joker line of Dragon Quest Monsters games in Japan. It offers new quality of life and gameplay options to a well-established series formula.
In Memoriam: Tributes to Michael A. Cunningham
Late last month, our longtime Editor-in-Chief Michael A. Cunningham sadly passed away. In the first of our planned tributes to Macstorm, we share some of the messages and memories from the staff here at RPGamer as well as from others who had the pleasure of interacting with him.
Limited Run Games Interview
An interview as enlightening as it is overdue, RPGamer sits down to talk with the co-founders of Limited Run Games about the company’s process and future plans. Douglas Bogart and Josh Fairhurst talk numbers, deciding which games to work on, and dream projects they wish they could get their hands on.
City of the Shroud Impression
City of the Shroud is an episodic title where player decisions will influence the direction of the game. At the moment, however, the core of the game makes it a bit difficult to stick with for the time needed for those influences to be felt.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age Review
After an extended absence, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age brings one of the genre’s premier series back to western audiences. Pull up your comfy chair, because this epic JRPG doesn’t do things by half measures.
Episode Mac – Q&A Quest
Q&A Quest gathers several staff members together to honor our late Editor in Chief. We remember him the only way we know how: funny stories and random tangents.
Phantom Doctrine Review
For a game based on espionage, the Cold War is certainly a fitting setting and one that Phantom Doctrine happily jumps into. It’s not as simple as East vs. West, however, with plenty of threads that need to be untangled.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass Review
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a quirky, emotional game. Isn’t it time someone made a sub-genre to describe RPGs inspired by Earthbound, so reviewers wouldn’t always namedrop Earthbound? In this one, you can be a bear!
Yakuza Kiwami 2 Review
The Dragon of Dojima is back once again to play arcade games, run hostess clubs, and bash thugs with varying implements. Kiryu even gets a love interest in Kiwami 2, but who cares about that when there are tigers to fight!
Rainbow Skies Review
Contrary to common belief, in Rainbow Skies characters fight much better immediately after devouring huge helpings of food. This is just one of many interesting things that will be experienced in the world of Lunah.
Banner Saga 3 Review
It was the best of times and the worst of times. Sam Wachter has finished the Banner Saga trilogy. She cried like a baby, threw the controller a few times, and watched all her favourites die.
Metal Max Xeno Impression
In the heavy, grim, metal, dark future of humanity, the only thing a guy can trust is his tank. So get the sand out of those treads and apply it to yourself, because you’ll need all the grit you can muster to survive.
