Dragon Star Varnir Review
Dragon Star Varnir has an interesting combat system yet tells an unbalanced tale. The root of the problem for this adequate turn-based JRPG is lacking a proper balance between presentation and substance.

Monster Harvest Review
Monster Harvest is a game that needs more time on the vine to ripen into something enjoyable. Between a bevy of glitches and a lack of genre-staple features, RPGamers would be best served waiting before digging in.
Tales of Arise Review

Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa Review
Action RPG Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa is all about examining choices and consequences. While the approach is welcome, its other elements fail to offer the necessary support for it to pay off.

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny Review
Disgaea is back, and it’s the same as ever. Mostly. The trademark min-maxing options to create a seriously buff squad return, but players will need to decide whether a game that plays itself is what they’re looking for.
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights Review
Despite a story premise that sounds a bit familiar and derivative, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Kinghts proves to be a Metroidvania that is able to stand proudly on its own feet.

There’s a new entry in the rare dedicated sports RPG sub-genre. Pocket Trap’s Dodgeball Academia offers a flashy Saturday morning cartoon take on the sport.

The Vale: Shadow of the Crown Review

Wildermyth Review
A tale as old as time, a turn-based tactical RPG with more hits than misses. Wildermyth’s great combat ideas do outweigh some story pacing issues and is worth a look.

The full release of action roguelite Dreamscaper is finally here. Afterburner Studios has cultivated a strong gameplay loop that grabs players with its melancholic but immersive atmosphere.
Chernobylite Review

Scarlet Nexus sees players joining future humanity’s forces and using special powers to fight against the monstrous Others. For a new IP, Bandai Namco has a winner on its hands.

What happens when all of the color in the world has been removed? Has the world lost its hope and joy? In Chicory: A Colorful Tale it’s up to a sweet lil’ pup to use her magical paintbrush and restore beautiful color into the world. Bust out your paints, colored pencils, and relax your way through one of the kindest games on the market.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition Review
Commander Shepard’s tale gets another opportunity to be told. Though Mass Effect 2’s clunky combat and the presence of old glitches hold it back a bit, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a great remaster of the original trilogy.
Tainted Grail: Conquest Review
Tainted Grail: Conquest is a roguelite deckbuilder that combines its gameplay loop with a multi-layered story. The slow and steady approach wins out and makes the game well worth a look.
