Yakuza Kiwami on Switch offers a competent handheld experience despite visual cutbacks, and the addition of licensed music in the West is welcome.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Review
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a lovely remake of one of Square's legacy titles and may be the best entry into the series for newcomers to dip their toes.

While Card-en-Ciel's gameplay is a strong point, everything else about the game leaves a lot to be desired.

Ys X: Nordics' excellent and refreshing combat stylings are diluted by tedious exploration, uneven visual presentation, and a ho-hum story.

Astlibra Gaiden: Cave of Phantom Mist Review
Astlibra's DLC is an excellent addition to the fantastic title, however, it's hard to recommend as a standalone title for players who have never played the original.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Review
Zelda's first turn as the star of the show sees her given some truly exciting and thought-provoking gameplay systems that bring glorious Breath of the Wild vibes to a 2D Zelda game - but missed opportunities also offer up small frustrations.

Reynatis takes inspiration from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, but results in a messy & forgettable experience.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Review
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection revives a pair of underappreciated Ace Attorney spin-offs on modern platforms, and shows that the view from the prosecutorial side of the justice system is surprisingly familiar, if no less enjoyable for it.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Isekai Chronicles Review
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Isekai Chronicles strives to retell a chunk of Rimuru’s story, but does so through this medium to limited success.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club Review
More than just a blast from the past, Emio fully revitalizes the Famicom Detective Club series, making it better than ever before.

This new installment in the gunpla action RPG series is like watching an old friend rebound from tough times; it may not be as great as its mainline predecessors in some regards, but it is a solid course correction from the last few dire entries.

Gestalt: Steam and Cinder Review
If you like action platformers, you’ll love Gestalt: Steam and Cinder. It’s a shorter affair, to be sure, but it explodes with love for the genre with a world and story that is both equal parts fun and tense to explore.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak Review
Despite my issues with some of the characters, Almata, and the underlying Xipha system, I still enjoyed my time at Calvard, seeing old friends and meeting new ones, and I am eager to return to one of my favorite long-form fictional works.

Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- Review
Something once thought unthinkable, the official English release of one of Type-Moon's most revered works is simply incredible and is the closest example of what a modern AAA visual novel would entail.

Monster Hunter Stories Switch Review
Monster Hunter Stories' Switch port brings quality of life changes, improved graphics, and improvements to one of the 3DS's late life gems.

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.

Witch on the Holy Night Review
Kinoko Nasu's very first work in English for the second time.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Switch Review
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a good re-release of a good game, and adjustments made only improve upon it in small but substantial ways. It's an easy recommendation for general audiences and RPG fans. Now, where's my Luigi in Waffle Kingdom RPG?
by Adam Vitale on 21 May, 2024
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.

Megaton Musashi W: Wired Review
Level-5's giant robot action RPG is one of the most fully-featured games in the modern era with a compelling story, fun gameplay, and loads of in-depth customization systems that makes this hidden gem, unexpectedly, one of the best games of the year so far.
by Josh Torres on 05 May, 2024
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.

SaGa Emerald Beyond is a bold celebration of the series' past and present, warts and all.

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.

The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered Review
I'm not sure what to feel about The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered. I don’t really mind the game's minimalist approach to narrative, but the dungeon design, repetitive battles, and difficulty walls I hit made it hard to press on.
