Digimon Story: Time Stranger Review
Built with the current generation of hardware in mind at last, this new Digimon Story entry triumphs in fully realizing the vibrant liveliness of the Digital World as it brings along a wealth of solid systems and mechanics to not only make it one of the best Digimon games ever, but just a damn good game in general.

Hades II is a triumph in every way, and the degree to which the studio has built on the original makes it feel like we have gotten two sequels in one.

For players who grew up loving ’90s anime or those fascinated by experimental mechanics in RPGs, Wander Stars is worth experiencing. It may not fully deliver on the limitless potential of words, but when it hits, it feels as satisfying as the perfect sentence – or punch - landing exactly where it should.

Lost Soul Aside wore on me pretty quickly, with its repetitive arena-to-arena flow, characters I never spent enough time to care about or what happened to them, and unpolished issues and quirks. Sometimes being "cool" just doesn’t cut it.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Review
Not just a remake for fans of the original, but an excellent starting point for newcomers to both RPGs and the Trails series itself.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree Review
Despite an interesting premise and top-notch presentation, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree only manages to be an average roguelike action RPG, failing to elevate itself beyond the ordinary.

Despite some missed potential and a frustratingly poor localization, Shuten Order lands with such a tremendous note that it's worth experiencing. What it lacks in cohesion, it makes up for in spirit.

At best, Varlet is a boring command-based RPG with social sim elements. At worst, Varlet is a fundamentally broken game.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Review
Grand Bazaar has made a grand return, even if some elements have become unfocused in the transition to HD.

OFF represents pure, unfiltered artistic expression, and while I can’t fully piece the puzzle together, the process of trying is rewarding.

2 1/2 years after its original launch, Wild Hearts has found a second life on Nintendo Switch 2

Superfans of the series might find something to love if they dig deep enough – but Konami’s Edens Zero, more than anything, is another grim reminder of the unrealized potential of anime-based video games.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Review
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an impressive synthesis of Assassin's Creed game design principles from across the series' history, ably blending the sprawling scope of later entries with the focus of the game's earlier eras.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Review
Chengdu-based developer Leenzee's debut game possesses an impressive world that's dazzling to behold and features solid gameplay systems, yet the state of its PC version on a technical level holds it back from greatness.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy Review
A perfectly serviceable dungeon crawler that leans a little on the bland side, but there's still enough here to satisfy people with a deep urge for dungeon crawling or anime slapstick.
by Junior Miyai on 26 July, 2025
No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files Review
To get the most out of No Sleep For Kaname Date, as a spin-off and an interquel, you need to align your expectations in advance. What it sacrifices in the typical mind-bending mystery, it makes up for with excellent comedy writing.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition Review
Aspyr breaths new life into Neverwinter Nights 2 with the release of their Enhanced Edition, bringing the CRPG classic to consoles for the first time and reviving its multiplayer, with the rest of the game feeling like a missed opportunity.

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut Nintendo Switch 2 Review
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut should've been an easy win, but a few baffling decisions hold it back.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Review
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is wonderfully bleak and ambitious, though the experience is marred by a lack of polish that frustratingly still feels like early access.
by Bryan Vitale on 09 July, 2025
Front Mission 3: Remake Review
Front Mission 3 is an excellent game about giant mechas battling out in a modernized geopolitical setting. If only the same could be said for Front Mission 3: Remake.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Review
Raidou Remastered is a charming remake of one of ATLUS' most experimental PS2 titles. It succeeds in preserving that legacy, even if it holds it back from true greatness.

Round8 Studio's expansion to Lies of P takes an already great game, and makes it truly something special.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Nintendo Switch 2 Review
After nearly 3 long years, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are finally in the state they should've been all along.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Review
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a free form RPG that delivers in spades with its plethora of quality content, addictive gameplay, and all the enhancements over the first game.
