Star Ocean The Second Story R Review
Star Ocean: The Second Story R has brought a cult classic into a new era. It’s been thoughtfully retooled, but it’s still packed with all the heart and soul of the original. Graphically, it’s gorgeous, and the new quests and features range from fair to fabulous. It’s one of my favorite video games in even finer form.

Just in time for Halloween, Little Goody Two Shoes takes players on a macabre jaunt through a not-so-friendly forest.

Front Mission 2: Remake Review
A rough localization and some familiarly frustrating RNG-related issues bog it down, but Front Mission 2: Remake is probably worth the headaches overall.

![Dark Envoy boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/98640/hub/Dark-Envoy_Vert-Art_2.jpg)
While Dark Envoy has some interesting class and skill systems, this CRPG's tedious encounter design, forgettable characters, sluggish narrative, and bevy of performance issues make it a difficult game to recommend.

![Crymachina boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/130802/hub/Crymachina_Vert-Art.jpg)
Despite the narrative not fully coming together in the end, as well as some repetitive gameplay structure, Crymachina manages to be a compelling RPG. Regardless of its uneven nature and short duration, I think it may leave a lasting impression on me - at least a little bit.

![World of Horror boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/89950/hub/World-of-Horror_Vert-Art.jpg)
This turn-based horror RPG took its sweet time to full release, but it was well worth it with an addictive gameplay loop, a compelling battle system, and a stunningly beautiful visual aesthetic.

Detective Pikachu Returns Review
The case of Detective Pikachu has never been fully closed, but now Detective Pikachu Returns, this time to the Nintendo Switch. I enjoyed my time with Detective Pikachu Returns, nonetheless, Detective Pikachu Returns just isn’t a very good game.

![Lords of the Fallen (2023) boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/130608/hub/Lords-of-the-Fallen_Vert-Art-2023.jpg)
Lords of the Fallen has a well-crafted world, interesting stories, cool bosses, and plenty of player customization on offer. However, a frustrating dual-world mechanic holds back this RPG from achieving excellence.

![Long Gone Days boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/128865/hub/Long-Gone-Days_2023-Vert-Art.jpg)
Long Gone Days is a project that’s been in the works for many years. With grating hand holding, but a decent story and grounded characters, Long Gone Days is a good choice for those interested in a narrative-focused RPG.

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster Review
While this remaster might not be to the quality that the Baten Kaitos series deserves, it still is a lovely way to play and revisit these classics after so long.

![Fate/Samurai Remnant boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/126148/hub/Fate-Samurai-Remnant_Vert-Art_2023.jpg)
Fate/Samurai Remnant takes advantage of a new, grounded setting, a fresh cast of characters, and a gripping narrative to serve as both an approachable gateway to Fate for newbies and a potent fan service vehicle for veterans.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Review
A disappointing game adaptation for one of the best Dragon Quest spin-off series that possesses major structural and gameplay shortcomings.

![Everhood boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/95294/hub/Everhood_Vert-Art.jpg)
Everhood Eternity Edition Review
Everhood just wasn’t as thought-provoking as the subtitle “An Ineffable Tale of the Inexpressible Divine Moments of Truth” might suggest. While I found some enjoyment in the later part of the game, it didn’t hit all the right notes for me.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless Review
If you liked previous Disgaea games — grinding your levels up to max, performing increasingly higher damaging attacks, and seeing a mass of numbers fill your screen — Disgaea 7 continues that trend and amplifies it further.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Review
Phantom Liberty itself is an all-time great expansion, taking all of the best elements of Cyberpunk 2077 and cranking them all up to eleven.

![Rune Factory 3 Special boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/123012/hub/Rune-Factory-3-Special_Vert-Art.jpg)
Rune Factory 3 Special brings a fan favourite entry into the modern era relatively untouched, for better or worse.

![The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/113303/hub/The-Legend-of-Nayuta-Boundless-Trails_Vert-Art.jpg)
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails Review
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails invokes a feeling of an earlier era of Falcom in some of the best ways. With a charming presentation and commendable gameplay, this is a satisfying game and an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a light-hearted action RPG romp.

![Lies of P boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/125201/hub/Lies-of-P_Vert-Art-2023.jpg)
Despite its unique weapon system and generally friendlier structuring, Lies of P hews a little too closely to its inspirations to rise above feeling like something of an also-ran. But even also-rans can be polished, attractive, and exciting experiences in their own right.

![Fae Farm boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/129066/hub/Fae-Farm_Vert-Art.jpg)
Newcomer to the farming sim genre, Fae Farm, looks to shake things up with its quality of life improvements and unique twists, resulting in a lovely game.

![Sea of Stars boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/105413/hub/Sea-of-Stars_Vert-Art.jpg)
Sea of Stars presents a potent mix of combat systems bolstered by a charming story and gorgeous graphical presentation that captures the essence of the turn-based classics.

![Anonymous;Code boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/128935/hub/Anonymous-Code_Vert-Art.jpg)
Anonymous;Code managed to grab my attention in a way that other SciADV games weren’t able to, due to its captivating story and excellent pacing.

![Starfield boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/132017/hub/Starfield_Steam_Vert-Art.jpg)
Starfield is wider, wilder, and more ambitious than I expected - but also shows surprising restraint in many areas. More than the sum of its parts, it's the best game of this type Bethesda has delivered.

![Virgo Vs The Zodiac boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/113335/hub/Virgo-Versus-the-Zodiac_Vert-Art.jpg)
Virgo Vs The Zodiac is quite unique, and for the most part is better for it. Personally, I don’t see how a game that lets you ride an alpaca and purge heretics could’ve gone wrong. But the combat and systems don't shake up much over time.

![Baldur's Gate 3 boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/132016/hub/Baldurs-Gate-3_Steam_Vert-Art.jpg)
Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph, offering an incredible level of scope, depth, and reactivity that only comes around in role-playing games a couple of times a generation.

![Atlas Fallen boxart](https://images.rpgsite.net/image/da49c9a1/123313/hub/Atlas-Fallen_Vert-Art-2.jpg)
Atlas Fallen is an average action RPG with some interesting Momentum combat mechanics, a passable open-world, subpar presentation, and a disappointing narrative.
