Like a Dragon: Ishin turns back the clock to the Bakumatsu period in Japan and its new remake is an excellent revitalization of an already solid entry in the Like a Dragon / Yakuza series as it finally launches in the west for the first time at last.

Beyond its unacceptable technical issues, lies one of the most unique takes on the Hunting Action genre in years.

One Piece Odyssey unfortunately fits the “it takes twenty hours to get good” shoe. I find it difficult to recommend it to those who aren’t already fans of the series, and not just because it’s a mostly bland RPG.

Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten Review
Monochrome Mobius is a solid first attempt at a JRPG from Aquaplus, but falters due to a number of plot, pacing and user interface concerns.

Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII Reunion Review
After almost 15 years, the story of Zack Fair has escaped the confines of its UMD prison and has emerged as one of Square Enix's best remaster offerings that new and old fans of Final Fantasy VII need to experience.

Front Mission 1st: Remake Review
Forever Entertainment's modern crack at a classic strategy RPG has its highs and lows, but I walk away from it feeling stoked for the Wanzer warfare remakes to come.

Despite a troubled road to release, Marvel's Midnight Suns is an excellent tactical RPG that delivers an awesome roster of heroes with a compelling battle system throughout its lengthy campaign.

Pentiment offers a thematically striking and ultimately optimistic experience that is as engaging as it is unique.

While Reborn is largely an excellent re-release of Tactics Ogre (again), many of its gameplay alterations give it new flaws that will have me making caveats in recommending it (again).

Star Ocean The Divine Force Review
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is developer tri-Ace's latest foray into the stars with this latest entry of their long-running science fiction RPG series, and after a rocky previous entry, this new game may have righted the ship towards a bright future.

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Review
Despite its rough edges, Asterigos is a solid action RPG with a satisfying story and competent combat.
by Adam Vitale on 27 October, 2022
Batora: Lost Haven is a boring RPG with tedious dialogue and lackluster level design, saved only by adequate combat, respectable art, and a mercifully short runtime.
by Adam Vitale on 27 October, 2022
Lost Eidolons offers a great strategic experience with thorough gameplay systems and mechanics, though its presentation and narrative fall just a bit flat.
by Scott White on 25 October, 2022
The Outbound Ghost is a bland and confusing game that is as boring as it is pretty.
by Bryan Vitale on 10 October, 2022
Despite its various shortcomings, The DioField Chronicle is a refreshing take on strategy RPGs with satisfying gameplay systems and bold narrative design.
by Adam Vitale on 01 October, 2022
While the combat to this Valkyrie Profile action RPG spin-off is top notch, the rest of the game ranges from mediocre to merely serviceable.
by Josh Torres on 28 September, 2022
Spiders Studio tackles a different sub-genre of RPG with Steelrising, going for a Souls-like experience this time around. While competent, it doesn't achieve much to stand out from the crowd.

SD Gundam Battle Alliance Review
Artdink's first Gundam game in a decade is surprisingly a challenge as a purely solo experience, and playing with others may make this action RPG shine despite its handful of flaws.
by Josh Torres on 24 August, 2022
Soul Hackers 2 is an adequate, experimental Megaten entry with some bright spots, but it doesn't quite come together as well as I hoped it would.
by Adam Vitale on 18 August, 2022
Although it is more than 25 years old, Live A Live delights with charming narratives, solid gameplay, and a well-remastered presentation.
by Paige Chamberlain on 21 July, 2022
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Review
While not quite perfect, Sunbreak confidently brings all of Monster Hunter Rise's best ideas to the next level.
by James Galizio on 29 June, 2022
Elex II is an initially promising but ultimately disappointing RPG that fails to be better than the original.
by Bryan Vitale on 30 May, 2022
The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Review
This high-budget FMV Japanese mystery adventure is an exceptional game in almost every way, but its tedious "gameplay" sections are its largest Achilles' heel.
by Josh Torres on 14 May, 2022
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review
Rising is a respectable introduction to the world of Eiyuden Chronicle, with great characters, writing, and art. However, the game structure and combat have a hard time standing on their own.
by Adam Vitale on 10 May, 2022
Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files Story Expansion DLC Review
Kaito's solo adventure is a thrilling side story to Lost Judgment and explores a new side to Yagami's sidekick with a new, compelling storyline.
