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.

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.

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

The Outbound Ghost is a bland and confusing game that is as boring as it is pretty.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Review
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes provides Fire Emblem: Three Houses fans with a compelling retelling of its story alongside its great cast of characters.

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.

Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden Review
Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden is an overall more streamlined experience than other entries. With the frequency of releases in the series compared to the number of improvements made, the cards are starting to wear a bit thin.

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness Review
Although it has some interesting ideas as a survival action RPG, Binary Star Falling into Darkness will primarily appeal to hardcore Made in Abyss fans and offer very little to newcomers.

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.

For a game that places so much weight on its cast and writing , Digimon Survive struggles to engage with poor characterization and weak storytelling.

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.

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright Review
RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is a game made by an aspiring designer who's currently a school-kid, or at least that’s the game’s premise. The focus of this game is largely on style, but it’s not entirely devoid of substance. It is however held back a little by some annoying controls and Kenta’s railroading.

Between an exceptionally well-written cast, a deeply satisfying combat system, and an amazing adventure that remarkably earns its very long run time, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a JRPG masterpiece.

Little Noah: Scion of Paradise Review
Cygames' roguelite action romp offers a compelling take on the genre, that's perfect for beginners to grit their teeth on.

Although it is more than 25 years old, Live A Live delights with charming narratives, solid gameplay, and a well-remastered presentation.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Review
While not quite perfect, Sunbreak confidently brings all of Monster Hunter Rise's best ideas to the next level.

AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative Review
As a follow-up to a 2019 cult classic adventure game, this surprise sequel is full of heart and blows past expectations.

Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga Review
Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga pulls from classics such as Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle to create a brand new IP that impresses and leaves us wanting more.

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II - The Sith Lords Switch Review
Much like Aspyr's port of the first game, this new Switch port of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords is perhaps the best way to play this RPG!
