Divinity: Original Sin Review
Successfully funded Kickstarter campaigns can bring out the best and worst in man. Larian Studios aimed to be more divine than sinful in delivering on its promises, and maybe the original sin here is that publishers won’t fund traditional-style computer RPGs anymore.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Xbox 360 Review
We may have asked for better boss fights, but its doubtful anyone wanted tablet gimmicks or an English language audio commentary recorded by French Canadians. RPGamers can’t win them all, even by the year 2027. Put on your trench coat and find a conspiracy…again.
Inazuma Eleven GO Review
Nintendo of Europe timed the release of Inazuma Eleven GO to coincide nicely with this summer’s World Cup, but which provided the better version of the beautiful game? When it comes to bog-standard real-world physics against a setting where the ball can be turned into a boomerang surely there’s only one winner.
Battle Princess of Arcadias Review
CRASH. BANG. BOOM. SMACK. CRUNCH. Ayiyiiyiyiyiyi! ZORK! KA-POW! BIFF! BAP! POW! Well then, now that this review has been beaten into shape, it’s time to see how Princess Plume faired against the dreaded, diabolical, and dazzling Lady Marshmallow: Crusher of Dreams, Xena enthusiast, and lover of the Batusi.
Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland Review
When something is a Plus, it’s not a port, a remake, or a remaster. It’s an older game synthesized with materials like more playable characters, new assignments, and the always useful magic points. Gust’s goal was to craft something more fun than the original, but there’s always the risk of creating a Broken Item.
Atelier Marie, Elie, & Anis: Soyokaze no Dengon Import Review
The Atelier series is as long and varied as any big name lineage of games can be. With so many titles over so many years, it’s always interesting to see how things have changed. Alchemy is an ever-changing discipline, and the mix of ingredients is never the same twice, after all.
Grinsia Review
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo, it works when it wants toooo. Doo doo doo doo, my game goes crash bang boom.
Borderlands 2 Vita Review
When you take one of the best RPGs from 2012 and shrink it down to a handheld, there’s a lot that could happen. Thankfully, all of the best parts of Borderlands 2 made the transition.
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Review
It takes an intrepid group of explorers to delve deep into an unexplored labyrinth, especially when they have to haul away freshly severed creature parts to craft better gear. The cast of this game might look young, but clearly has had great practice stifling the gag reflex. Fresh body parts for your backpack, yay!
Mind Zero Review
What is the mind? Is it just a system of impulses or is it something tangible? In this case, it’s very much the latter.
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness Retroview
Some series are able to flit between genres successfully. Arc the Lad did not prove to be one of them, and this game helps explain why the series hasn’t been seen in a long time.
Always Sometimes Monsters Review
You’re reading RPGamer and you come across a review of Vagabond Dog’s first game, Always Sometimes Monsters. You’ve seen a few screenshots and heard a little about how the game delights in forcing you to make difficult choices. What do you do?
Agarest: Generations of War Review
If simply tossing many hours at a game is all that is necessary to deem it worthwhile, Agarest certainly qualifies.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II Review
Borgovia’s one man army is back to vanquish the hordes of dangerous creatures commonplace in the country. But don’t forget to credit his ghostly companion, Lady Katarina will let you know if she’s being underappreciated.
Bound by Flame Review
Spiders has quickly established itself as one of the more prolific RPG developers around. But has the speed of release affected the quality of its first PS4 entry?
Probably.
Boot Hill Heroes Review
Cowgirls and Indians, mixed up with despicable outlaws gunning for every law-abiding citizen. The Western is an uncommon setting for an RPG, but this game shows it can work with a little effort.
The lawman is on his way.
Transistor Review
Supergiant Games has finally launched its second game, Transistor, in the hopes of recapturing the magic of its debut title. There’s a lot to love about Transistor, and it does a lot of things really well.
Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars Review
Struggling to find good party members? Why not create your own? At least you won’t be waiting years for these progeny to be ready.
Arc the Lad III Retroview
In a world rent asunder and struggling to recapture its former glory, Hunters are needed to keep things from getting too bad. Welcome to the life of one, and get ready to do a lot of jobs in the name of public order – along with sillier reasons.
