Lost Eidolons offers a great strategic experience with thorough gameplay systems and mechanics, though its presentation and narrative fall just a bit flat.

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.

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Review
Despite its rough edges, Asterigos is a solid action RPG with a satisfying story and competent combat.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
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.

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

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

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 Review
These furry children can hold so much trauma. Again.
by James Galizio on 29 May, 2023
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.
by Adam Vitale on 18 June, 2023
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.
by Cullen Black on 21 June, 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
While there are admirable aspects about Arcadian Atlas on a conceptual level, several usability issues and an imbalanced gameplay experience merely makes it mediocre.

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.
by Paige Chamberlain on 09 August, 2023
Atlas Fallen is an average action RPG with some interesting Momentum combat mechanics, a passable open-world, subpar presentation, and a disappointing narrative.
