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

Despite its various shortcomings, The DioField Chronicle is a refreshing take on strategy RPGs with satisfying gameplay systems and bold narrative design.

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.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Review
Western fans of The Legend of Heroes can finally officially experience this amazing lynchpin entry of the series and how the Special Support Section came together!

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.
by James Galizio on 23 July, 2022
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.
by Cullen Black on 22 June, 2022
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!
by Scott White on 13 June, 2022
Coromon is a game filled with potential but past sinking sands and perplexing puzzles it starts to fall flat. The shake-ups do let Coromon stand on its own and create an enjoyable experience, but it could’ve evolved to be something a little more.
by Paige Chamberlain on 07 June, 2022
Elex II is an initially promising but ultimately disappointing RPG that fails to be better than the original.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Review
This high-budget FMV Japanese mystery adventure is an exceptional game in almost every way, but its tedious "gameplay" sections are its largest Achilles' heel.
by Josh Torres on 14 May, 2022
Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden Review
The Forsaken Maiden is too similar to its predecessor to declare it as being significantly improved, with the greater difference lying largely in its narrative. It is a complementary experience that fans of the first are likely to enjoy just as much.
by Paige Chamberlain on 14 May, 2022
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review
Rising is a respectable introduction to the world of Eiyuden Chronicle, with great characters, writing, and art. However, the game structure and combat have a hard time standing on their own.
by Adam Vitale on 10 May, 2022
Despite its unique narrative and intriguing premise, Weird West is often a frustrating experience that is difficult to enjoy playing.
by Bryan Vitale on 08 May, 2022
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Switch Review
Vanillaware has handled 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim's Switch port with the utmost care and, with some of the changes, may even be better than the PS4 version. If you love RPGs, have an affinity for excellent stories, are in the mood for some good brain exercise, or just looking for a nice 30-hour experience in gaming, look no further than 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
