Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Review
While the Vengeance re-release doesn't fundamentally change what Shin Megami Tensei V is, numerous adjustments and improvements allow SMTV to be the best version of itself.

Cryptmaster is a great idea, yet it stops just short of great execution

System Shock's remake is an enjoyable and well-made immersive sim that runs well on PlayStation 5, but the new gamepad control scheme leaves a lot to be desired.

Dread Delusion sets out to create a haunting open world, evoking RPGs of the past - and succeeds.

I was excited to see my country represented properly in a video game, and that did happen. Sadly the game itself isn’t worth a damn, it’s a classic style RPG but none of my choices matter and I can hardly make any of them. The only real redeeming quality is the art.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Review
While there is room to improve and some blemishes throughout, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has excellent presentation & nostalgic charm, and I cannot overstate enough how glad I am that it exists.

Neptunia Sisters vs. Sisters Switch Review
Neptunia Sisters vs. Sisters on Switch is a decent port if you're looking for Neptunia on the go, but there are much better home options available.

Persona 3 Reload is a fantastic remake of the game that set the course that the Persona franchise still follows today.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
The three games of the Apollo Justice "trilogy" are well worth the read, even if they aren't an ideal starting point for the series.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Review
With a fantastic premise that earns its dual protagonist direction in Ichiban & Kiryu, major combat system refinements, plethora of engaging side activities in its new beautiful Hawaii locale, and developments that enrich the Yakuza-era legacy, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of the best games RGG Studio has ever made.

Persona 5 Tactica delivers a solid tactical RPG, that lands just shy of greatness

Tales of Arise - Beyond The Dawn Review
Tales of Arise - Beyond The Dawn is conceptually an interesting epilogue, but stale questing and trite plotting leave me apathetic to this unexpected expansion.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Review
Although a solid entry, this title serves as an intermediary of Kiryu's actions between Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon so its endpoint is inherently predictable and as enjoyable as it is, the narrative is relatively thin in exchange for a wealth of side content to pad it out.

Front Mission 2: Remake Review
A rough localization and some familiarly frustrating RNG-related issues bog it down, but Front Mission 2: Remake is probably worth the headaches overall.
by Quinton O'Connor on 25 October, 2023
While Dark Envoy has some interesting class and skill systems, this CRPG's tedious encounter design, forgettable characters, sluggish narrative, and bevy of performance issues make it a difficult game to recommend.
by Adam Vitale on 23 October, 2023
Long Gone Days is a project that’s been in the works for many years. With grating hand holding, but a decent story and grounded characters, Long Gone Days is a good choice for those interested in a narrative-focused RPG.

Everhood Eternity Edition Review
Everhood just wasn’t as thought-provoking as the subtitle “An Ineffable Tale of the Inexpressible Divine Moments of Truth” might suggest. While I found some enjoyment in the later part of the game, it didn’t hit all the right notes for me.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Review
Phantom Liberty itself is an all-time great expansion, taking all of the best elements of Cyberpunk 2077 and cranking them all up to eleven.
by Alex Donaldson on 20 September, 2023
Despite its unique weapon system and generally friendlier structuring, Lies of P hews a little too closely to its inspirations to rise above feeling like something of an also-ran. But even also-rans can be polished, attractive, and exciting experiences in their own right.
by Josh Tolentino on 13 September, 2023
Sea of Stars presents a potent mix of combat systems bolstered by a charming story and gorgeous graphical presentation that captures the essence of the turn-based classics.
by Paul Shkreli on 06 September, 2023
Virgo Vs The Zodiac is quite unique, and for the most part is better for it. Personally, I don’t see how a game that lets you ride an alpaca and purge heretics could’ve gone wrong. But the combat and systems don't shake up much over time.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Review
While Stray Gods is subtitled The “Roleplaying” Musical, it plays much more akin to a visual novel or adventure game than what one might call an RPG, though the musical part still applies. The music is especially fun and some tracks definitely would have a place in theatre.

While there are admirable aspects about Arcadian Atlas on a conceptual level, several usability issues and an imbalanced gameplay experience merely makes it mediocre.
by Josh Torres on 27 July, 2023
Jagged Alliance 3 is an excellent game, merging squad-based tactics and classic computer-style roleplaying in an entertaining veneer of cheesy action movies.
by Adam Vitale on 16 July, 2023
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Review
Really more of a guardian angel, if you think about it.
