In the end, Elsweyr is a worthy addition to the legacy of the Elder Scrolls Online world. The new necromancer class, the Sunspire trial, and the dragon hunts all have kept me playing for months after completing the main questline.
Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium is a landmark title in gaming that will hopefully set a new standard for quality game design and writing. Everything offered within feels like a work borne from passion and talent, but that latter part’s what has me worried. I would love for Disco Elysium to somehow plant...
Shenmue III
As the sequel to two beloved, revolutionary games, Shenmue III had a lot to live up to. Has time been kind to Yu Suzuki’s flagship series? Not necessarily. But more importantly, does Shenmue III care about the time that’s passed? Not really. And I think that’s the key thing about...
Like I’ve stated many times throughout this review, I am fairly uncomfortable offering final judgment on the opening chapter of a game that, to the best of my knowledge, may never have a proper conclusion. However, given that this team has made at least one high quality story (in my...
Sparklite
I don’t derive pleasure from admonishing Sparklite, especially when it expertly establishes a fun, lighthearted vibe, but in this era, games need to do more — and do it better. What especially perplexes me is that it’s labeled as having co-op gameplay, but the second player’s only ability is to...
Little Town Hero is far from a heroic quest for Game Freak. It’s an interesting concept for a game, and it does feel unique, but the monotonous pacing and poor cast of characters could never keep me in its world for long. While it’s nice to see Game Freak expand...
Capcom has gifted us more than just simple paid DLC with this massive expansion. The amount of fresh content packed into Iceborne amounts to a sequel for all intents and purposes, built on the original engine. The new locale is beautifully rendered, offering exciting new sights and sounds as you...
All in all, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout is a surprisingly personal game about growth and adventure existing simultaneously. I loved the plot reveals throughout the title, and had a blast creating things using alchemy throughout my time. Despite its flaws, this is a solid JRPG with...
A former RPGFan editor, Derek Heemsbergen, worked on this game. This relationship in no way influenced the reviewer’s opinion of this game or its final score.
Six years after its original release in the West, Ni no Kuni still stands strong among its peers. While I don’t believe there’s enough new material to truly warrant a repurchase, for any stalwart fan wanting to see its best form on a current gen platform or anyone playing it...
In conclusion, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition will not disappoint hardcore Digimon fans who want to enjoy both games on a portable console (assuming you get it on Switch). Getting both games in a package for a lower price compared to when they first released is a great deal....
The Outer Worlds is a triumph for Obsidian Entertainment and AA games in general. They set out to create a successor to New Vegas and succeeded on every conceivable level. Every mechanic I loved from that game, including the stunningly robust faction system, has been taken to new heights. Sure,...
