Early Review“This is a great compilation of two breezy and iconic representations of anime-styled fantasy JRPGs in the 1990s.”

Early Review“Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars brings the classic pair of PSX-era titles to modern consoles in a delightful package.”

Early Review“Over fifteen years since an initial release, Tales of Graces f Remastered is a lovingly executed refresh of a series classic.”

Launch Window“Enotria: The Last Song, is ultimately another serviceable entry in the genre that can be embraced by Soulslike fans with a colorful aesthetic and original storyline. The clunky combat should annoy me more, but the game’s commitment to the bit won me over by the end. It may not always sing, but Enotria: The Last Song deserves credit for at least being able to carry a tune.”

Launch Window“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Isekai Chronicles strives to retell a chunk of Rimuru’s story, but does so through this medium to limited success. A relatively static presentation and repetitive combat system make this a difficult entry point for series newcomers, while fans of the series may question some of the design choices as missed opportunities to fully translate Rimuru’s adventure from page to screen.”

Early Review“Just in time for Halloween, Little Goody Two Shoes takes players on a macabre jaunt through a not-so-friendly forest.”
“A solid narrative is propelled by a likeable cast, a stable combat system, and charming presentation that comes together nicely in a short game that does not overstay its welcome.”

Late Review“While some gamers will find themselves engrossed with monster hunting, others will find themselves frustrated by how Metal Max Xeno: Reborn is still unable to get things right, even after being fully reconstructed. A campy sense of humor can only carry a game so far. Unfortunately, this second chance at life is inexplicably held back by the same quality issues that plagued its progenitor.”

Late Review“While not all of the elements gel together to make a fully cohesive experience, RPG Time: The Legend of Wright details a fascinatingly unique story about the limitless imagination of children, asking players to remember when they were children themselves filling pages with ink and adventure.”

Late Review“Saviors of Sapphire Wings is an accessible foray into dungeon-crawling that emphasizes gameplay over stat or party management while mostly avoiding the usual pitfalls of difficulty spikes.”
2/24/2021
Late Review“Kowloon High-School Chronicle, a story about hunting for lost relics, is a relic in its own right. The comparisons to both older and modern Persona games are inevitable, but there is much more here under the surface. Kowloon High-School Chronicle is certainly a historical oddity, but its zany storytelling and confluence of disparate genres makes this trip back to high school worth it.”
12/16/2020
Early Review“The game provides a solid if unoriginal strategy RPG experience on the Nintendo Switch for series veterans and newcomers alike.”
11/14/2020
Launch Window“Unfortunately, the game underserves both the source material and players on the Switch. While fans of the Seven Knights mobile game may enjoy this title, there are scores of more fulfilling experiences available on the console.”
10/22/2020
Launch Window“Fans of visual novels and zombie-anime moe comedies will be satisfied, while stricter dungeon-crawling enthusiasts may find much more satisfying treasure elsewhere.”
