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.

There have been a good chunk of high profile action RPGs recently and Remnant II triumphs them when it comes to providing a fulfilling RPG experience.

Jagged Alliance 3 is an excellent game, merging squad-based tactics and classic computer-style roleplaying in an entertaining veneer of cheesy action movies.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg Review
This remake of the very first game, now titled Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, is both an opportunity for new fans and old to see where it all began. Like the original, it has a pretty small scope, however, it is a mostly relaxing experience.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Review
While Trails into Reverie does serve as a strong epilogue to multiple in-game story arcs, it also spends a significant amount of time spinning its wheels.

Final Fantasy XVI is a confident game with amazing combat, an earnest narrative, and unbridled spectacle. Faults in pacing, RPG depth, quest design, and all those other nagging criticisms be damned - this game is special.

While Miasma Chronicles' combat stylings are compelling, an undercooked narrative riddled with cliches, weak characters, and some glitchy behaviors hold this tactical RPG from its potential.

Serviceable action combat can't salvage a disappointing narrative and trivial open world.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 Review
These furry children can hold so much trauma. Again.

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord Review
It’s hard to tell who, exactly, Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord is for.

Dramatic Labs' narrative-driven entry in the Star Trek canon is a rocky ride, but a welcome one.

Many independent RPG creators are inspired by the classics, but few succeed in their genre aspirations in the same way that Mattias Linda has.

The Mageseeker - A League of Legends Story Review
Mageseeker's gorgeous pixel art aesthetic and exciting action combat, paired with interesting mechanics, make this a game that even non-League of Legends fans should check out.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review
Expanded and improved in nearly every way from Fallen Order, Respawn's latest crack at Star Wars is one to remember
by James Galizio on 26 April, 2023
FuRyu returns with another RPG that tries to evoke the nostalgia of the classics of yesteryear, but Trinity Trigger's good music and character art cannot salvage a dull RPG that is middling at best, and broken at worst.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End and the Secret Key Review
Atelier Ryza 3 is a great conclusion to a great trilogy, bringing back our beloved characters for one last adventure.

Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters Review
Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters is a Neptunia fan's dream, but an otherwise unremarkable outing for anyone else.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Review
While it succeeds in its own right, Wo Long doesn't quite reach the same heights as Team Ninja's Nioh 1 and 2.

Octopath Traveler II is the rare sequel that manages to improve on the original without changing too much, finding success by expanding and polishing.

Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society Review
Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society is an admirable follow-up to Labyrinth of Refrain, with polished gameplay systems, an intriguing storyline, and a lengthy runtime.
by Adam Vitale on 18 February, 2023
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.
by James Galizio on 16 February, 2023
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.
