The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Review
The first title of the Crossbell duology is finally landing in the west. Is it worth exploring this unique province’s stories? Signs absolutely point to yes.
Jack Move Review
Jack Move is a cyberpunk RPG that is reminiscent of pixel JRPGs and the ’80s. While its short adventure and soundscape are enjoyable, a clichéd story fails to stand out.
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Review
Exploring connections and dealing with gut-punching disasters are at the core I Was a Teenage Exocolonist experience. This card-based narrative adventure brings emotion in spades as it tells a touching story about life.
Metal Max Xeno: Reborn Review
Metal Max Xeno: Reborn claims to provide an open-world sandbox of vehicular mayhem. Unfortunately, technical problems and confounding gameplay changes undermine the campy charm of this post-apocalyptic series.
Salt and Sacrifice Review
Ska Studios returns with its follow-up to action RPG Salt and Sanctuary. Though the game largely treads familiar ground, it features an unnecessary innovation that feels shoehorned in.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review
Monolith Soft returns with another title in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 certainly doesn’t disappoint as the studio takes full advance of both its ambition and maturity.
Digimon Survive Review
Digimon Survive blends visual novel adventure with strategic combat. Though it’s exploration and sporadic battles fail to impress, strong art and a superb story help raise it up.
Dusk Diver 2 Review
Dusk Diver 2 is an anime-inspired action RPG that has some addicting elements. However, its lack of combat variety and meandering story don’t pack a big punch.
Live A Live Review
Square Enix’s Live A Live melds various gameplay and storytelling elements across a variety of scenarios. With its new remake giving it the chance to acquaint itself with modern audiences, the game proves to have stood the test of time.
Soul Hackers 2 Review
Soul Hackers 2 is a great spin-off to Shin Megami Tensei. While the game isn’t as ambitious or long, it is a friendly starting point to the franchise.
Bear and Breakfast Review
In Bear and Breakfast players take on the role of a cute entrepreneurial bear and run multiple bed and breakfasts. Why would humans trust an ursine running a resort? Because he makes the experience bear-able.
Citizen Sleeper Review
Citizen Sleeper takes players to the final frontier, aboard the embattled ring station Erlin’s Eye. What awaits is a difficult and rewarding space adventure fans of dystopian sci-fi will want to check out.
Fallen Angel Review
Fallen Angel puts its best wing forward with engaging boss battles and enjoyable exploration. Unfortunately, this Switch port suffers from performance issues that prevent it from greatness.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Review
Monster Hunter Rise, RPGamer’s 2021 Game of the Year, has gotten a big expansion. Sunbreak does a fine job of further elevating the game.
Souldiers Review
After a rocky launch, the team behind Souldiers has, ahem, soldiered on. What awaits new players is an outstanding example of a Metroidvania action RPG, albeit not for the faint of heart.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Review
Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio once again links up with Nintendo’s Fire Emblem. Full utilisation of the depth available in the gameplay and a host of fun new character interactions make the second crossover a success.
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Review
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin provides a darkly grim new vision of the original Final Fantasy. Powerful action gameplay and a purely chaotic storyline await.
The Hand of Merlin Review
Arthurian legends adaptations have to find a way to showcase something unique to stand out. The Hand of Merlin uses otherworldly sci-fi enemies, alien horror, and a killer soundtrack to provide an entertaining tactical roguelite.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Switch Review
A few months after the first entry landed on the Switch, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords does the same. The game is regrettably glitchy, but fans of Star Wars and RPGs will still find it worth their time.
