RPG Reviews
Superfans of the series might find something to love if they dig deep enough – but Konami’s Edens Zero, more than anything, is another grim reminder of the unrealized potential of anime-based video games.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Review
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an impressive synthesis of Assassin's Creed game design principles from across the series' history, ably blending the sprawling scope of later entries with the focus of the game's earlier eras.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Review
Chengdu-based developer Leenzee's debut game possesses an impressive world that's dazzling to behold and features solid gameplay systems, yet the state of its PC version on a technical level holds it back from greatness.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy Review
A perfectly serviceable dungeon crawler that leans a little on the bland side, but there's still enough here to satisfy people with a deep urge for dungeon crawling or anime slapstick.

No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files Review
To get the most out of No Sleep For Kaname Date, as a spin-off and an interquel, you need to align your expectations in advance. What it sacrifices in the typical mind-bending mystery, it makes up for with excellent comedy writing.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition Review
Aspyr breaths new life into Neverwinter Nights 2 with the release of their Enhanced Edition, bringing the CRPG classic to consoles for the first time and reviving its multiplayer, with the rest of the game feeling like a missed opportunity.

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut should've been an easy win, but a few baffling decisions hold it back.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon Review
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is wonderfully bleak and ambitious, though the experience is marred by a lack of polish that frustratingly still feels like early access.

Front Mission 3: Remake Review
Front Mission 3 is an excellent game about giant mechas battling out in a modernized geopolitical setting. If only the same could be said for Front Mission 3: Remake.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Review
Raidou Remastered is a charming remake of one of ATLUS' most experimental PS2 titles. It succeeds in preserving that legacy, even if it holds it back from true greatness.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Review
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a free form RPG that delivers in spades with its plethora of quality content, addictive gameplay, and all the enhancements over the first game.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma Review
The journey through Azuma is a journey packed with a mish-mash of boring dungeons and weak RPG progression tools, supported by a fun cast of characters and decent story.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 Review
CyberConnect2's finale to the Fuga trilogy, while still good, feels almost like an obligation.

MercurySteam's latest project holds a lot of promise, but death by a thousand cuts holds it back from true greatness.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade Review
At its best, Yasha's synergistic possibilities with various weapon abilities bring about intriguing bouts of experimentation - yet it isn't quite enough to rectify the mind-numbingly repetitiveness that plagues the entire game from top to bottom.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree Review
While Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a decent mix of search action and soulslike, it's rough around the edges and does not excel in any particular facet.

While Atomfall should be praised for its accessibility settings and innovative “Lead” system, a plethora of design shortcomings frustrate in this survival-RPG hybrid.

The First Berserker: Khazan Review
Neople and Nexon's Soulslike-inspired action RPG set in the DNF universe sadly misses the mark on many of its components with a dull color palette that masks its lovely art style, sluggish combat flow due to its restrictive stamina system, and just doesn't distinguish itself from its many contemporary competitors.
