Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse boxart

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse Review

The second Paranormasight installment tones down a bit of the horror elements relative to its predecessor in exchange for being a more involved puzzle-solving game, and more importantly, it is still a great time.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined boxart

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Review

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined succeeds at streamlining a lengthy adventure at the expense of player discovery and friction, leading to a version that feels like Diet Dragon Quest VII.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension Review

Mega Dimension adds more to Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but doesn't necessarily make the game much better.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered Review

Romancing SaGa is not for everyone, but if it hooks you, it may hook you *hard*.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian boxart

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian Review

If you're a longtime fan, Atelier Resleriana has your favourite characters come together for another game. For people not familiar with the series, there's not a lot here to hook you.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Review

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake got me to reflect on what parts of the original Dragon Quest I I found special, and it manages to elevate Dragon Quest II into one of my new favorite games in the series.

Demonschool boxart

Demonschool Review

Demonschool is clearly inspired by the horror hits of the early aughts, yet it produces a thrilling strategy game that stands on its own two devilish hooves.

Stray Children boxart

Stray Children Review

Stray Children is basically everything I wanted from a successor to Moon, and the people at Onion Games are some of the brightest creative voices in the business.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless boxart

Disgaea 7 Complete Review

NIS America aims to deliver the definitive version of Disgaea 7 for the franchise's Nintendo Switch 2 debut, but it should've been a bit better.

Drova: Forsaken Kin boxart

Drova: Forsaken Kin Review

Drova is a punishing RPG experience that understands the value of friction, though uneven writing prevents it from being a true must-play.

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 boxart

Hades II Review

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.

Wander Stars boxart

Wander Stars Review

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.

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 boxart

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.

Shuten Order boxart

Shuten Order Review

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.

Varlet boxart

Varlet Review

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

OFF Review

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

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy boxart

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.
