Deiland Review

Deiland Review

In a world of laughter, a world of tears, a young man deals with his hopes and fears. There’s much for him to share, so that all may be aware, Planet Deiland is not so small.

Outriders Review

Outriders Review

Outriders blends the depth of RPGs with the intensity of shooters. Yet, this hybrid lacks something groundbreaking in order to be a serious contender in either genre.

NieR Replicant Review

NieR Replicant Review

It’s been over a decade, but western gamers have finally been given a chance to play the Replicant incarnation of NieR. More than that, this remaster features enough new content to make an already good game even better.

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards Review

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards Review

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards aims to further showcase the exploits of its interesting title character. RPGamer sees if the game successfully transitions the series from comic book to hack-and-slash RPG.

Biomutant Review

Biomutant Review

Experiment 101 promised an ambitious experience with its debut RPG Biomutant. However, did all the ambitions the game boasted prior to release make it into the final cut? Or is the experience plagued by broken dreams and technical issues galore?

Monster Hunter Rise Review

Monster Hunter Rise Review

The newest Monster Hunter attempts to impress the world with a fresh setting and new mechanics. Our reviewer spent nearly 80 hours with the game to find out if it rises to the occasion.

Poison Control Review

Poison Control Review

A stellar soundtrack and deeper-than-expected story try their hardest, but clunky gameplay and repetitive visuals mire Poison Control closer to mediocrity. These two sides balance out in an average but flawed outing from Nippon Ichi.

Bravely Default II Review

Bravely Default II Review

A totally new cast arrives in the third game in the Bravely series. Attempting to recapture the nostalgia of a bygone era, it defaults to some tropes while being largely successful in updating a classic job system.

Citizens Unite! Earth x Space Review

Citizens Unite! Earth x Space Review

Fun character designs and competent combat may be enough for a satisfactory single experience. However, doubling that up without any substantial bells and whistles makes the whole thing less appealing.

Black Legend Review

Black Legend Review

Players lead a group of mercenaries in turn-based battles to save the foggy city of Grant. Based on 17th-century European folklore, Black Legend includes an original set of classes, enemies, and sidequests.

Everhood Review

Everhood Review

Everhood doesn’t rein back on the similarities shared by other well-known indie titles. Despite that, the game delivers on its promise of being an unconventional RPG where players better “expect the unexpected.”

Hero Bank Review

Hero Bank Review

In a world of 1s and 0s, where the virtual is sold at a premium while the mundane is dirt-cheap, we all need something real. Something like professional wrestling. At least, that’s what one game producer thought, and who are we to argue with a technical knock-out?
