Arcante Review

Arcante Review

Arcante revisits the first-person, party-based fantasy RPGs of the ’80s and ’90s. Does it revitalise this niche genre, or does its ambition fall short?

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Review

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Review

Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio returns to Hyrule for a second time, this entry acting as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Though some things have changed, there’s still a very familiar feeling.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a game made up of equal parts rice farming and trouncing baddies. Is it fertile enough ground for a satisfying experience to take root or will players only reap the withered husks of disappointment?

Ikenfell Review

Ikenfell Review

Ikenfell is a game for those who love magic and whimsy. However, if it could conjure up a better combat system that would be fantastic.

Cyberpunk 2077 Review

Cyberpunk 2077 Review

Cyberpunk 2077 was easily one of this year’s most anticipated titles and has managed to just sneak into 2020. Considering all of the issues the game has, it might have been better if it didn’t.

Empire of Sin Review

Empire of Sin Review

This roaring twenties role playing game combines diplomacy, strategy, and fluid combat. But is it the bee’s knees or does this ambitious attempt come up short?

Chronos: Before the Ashes Review

Chronos: Before the Ashes Review

Chronos: Before the Ashes is an action RPG in which players need to traverse a labyrinth by solving puzzles and killing enemies in order to face a dragon. While some games feature heroes growing older, this one handles the aging process rather differently.

Monster Strike Review

Monster Strike Review

Some strikes are big hits, and others are misses. It all depends on the game being played. So what happens when you add a ton of monsters to the mixi? Will it be a swing and a miss, or a ten-pin slam?

Cthulhu Saves Christmas Switch Review

Cthulhu Saves Christmas Switch Review

Christmas might be a month away, but that didn’t stop Zeboyd Games from dropping Cthulhu Saves Christmas for Nintendo Switch. The game is a holly jolly time, but will its few shortcomings be the coal in RPGamer’s presents?

Ghost of a Tale Review

Ghost of a Tale Review

Ghost of a Tale is an ambitious outing that explores an imaginative new world while eschewing combat. Is the tale of a tiny mouse among an army of rats worth checking out?

Torchlight III Review

Torchlight III Review

Torchlight III is a game of simple pleasures and going for one more dungeon can be very addicting. With an easy-going tone and accessible to all, the game is best enjoyed in short bursts.
