Coming into this review, I knew Outward: Definitive Edition is fun and challenging for even veteran RPG players. I knew I’d enjoy the concept and level of detail that went into the game, having played a little bit of it through Steam. Outward: Definitive Edition was released on Nintendo Switch

Kingdom Come Deliverance is a medieval RPG game created and published by Warhorse Studios and co-published by Deep Silver, Kingdom Come Deliverance was first released in 2018 and this new version the Royal Edition, is the base release for the Nintendo Switch which comes with all the past DLC to

Super Mario RPG The Legend of the Seven Stars was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996. A whopping 27 years later, the beloved turn-based classic returns exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, with the much more succinct title, Super Mario RPG. This isn’t a straight-up re-release though, it’s

With a delay in release time, Tunic has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch. Hearing favourable comments on the title, I have always been eager to give it a go, but, as more and more games vie for my attention, I didn’t see an opportunity to play Tunic

My first foray into the Trails universe was in late 2022 with the remaster of Trails from Zero. This long-running series has only recently started making waves outside of Japan with titles never before released to the West being ported over. Now, all of that has led to a clash

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg may not be a new gaming concept, but the charm and cuteness delivered here has inexplicably drawn me in. Developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo, they have brought Atelier Marie, the first-ever game in the Atelier series, to the West. The

Remember way back in the day, chilling out after school and indulging in a lovely little action-JRPG? There was an indescribable feeling of wonderment during the first playthrough and a desire to experience them for the first time over and over again. The devs at Three Rings, working alongside publisher,

The title of this game “Lost Epic” is truly all you’ll need to bring when it comes to expectations. Everything that is epic about this game is lost in a very middling affair. I’m not saying this is a bad game nor am I saying it is a good game.

Octopath Traveler 2 is now available after a smashing success back in 2018 when Octopath Traveler first came out, and Square Enix has done it yet again with the sequel. It is available on Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4 and 5, but sadly, Xbox fans will be missing out this

Mythology & folklore, times of magical beasts, and Gods among men. Dark times and unknown forces are tainting the villages around Midgard. The Nordic Gods no longer wander the Midgard Plains. With no Gods left or Odin’s guardians remaining in Midgard, the protection of the Elder Tree has dissipated. It

When I first started playing HEROish, I immediately thought ‘this is a single-player MOBA game’, but it is much more than that. HEROish also has aspects of tower defense and deckbuilding. This is the debut title for developers and publishers Sunblink and it’s a great game to debut with. Starting

Eat up to beat up is the essence of the new Nintendo Switch title, Harvestella, from veteran JRPG publisher, Square Enix. The fusion of action RPG and the farm sim trend seems like a promising concept, but there’s definitely room to grow, as was my experience with Harvestella. Your character

Published by Lightning Games and developed by ThinkingStars, ANNO: Mutationem is a cyberpunk-themed, action adventure RPG game that mixes 2D characters sprites with 3D environments. Already released on PlayStation 4|5 and PC earlier this year and receiving very positive feedback from players and critics, this action-packed, 2D side-scroller is now

If ever a games developer had a name to describe their games so thoroughly, Monolith Soft has this in spades with its latest monolith of a game. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, announced at the start of 2022, has dropped just a few short months later, and it is arguably the most

I would bet that every gamer has at least one blind spot in terms of influential games that they have either missed or just never got around to playing. Maybe, it’s several games you missed, multiple protagonists that you never got a chance to connect with. In the case of

In a distant but not so unrealistic future, society lives and functions through a virtual world where games take the forefront of public interaction. ‘Gamedec’ by Anshar Studios, thrusts you into the world of a Gamedec, the name given to an online detective in this cyberpunk dystopian world. After choosing

Ah, High School, surviving those days was hard enough but after playing ‘Kraken Academy’ it really puts things in perspective. Developers ‘Happy Broccoli Games’ have created a very unique narrative-driven adventure that doesn’t seem to shy away from the wild side. Originally released on PC in 2021, this indie extravaganza

I never played the original version of ‘Disco Elysium’ but dear god, I wish I had got onto this gem earlier. This top-down, Noir styled RPG developed and published by ZA/UM is back with TLC improvements for its avid and dedicated fan base. Coming with new dialogue, voice acting, and

Alchemy. It’s never really touched on in video games. The main magic in games is usually that of chaos or healing. However, the team at Galdra Studios brings us a modern fantasy visual novel called Arcadia Fallen. Arcadia Fallen was initially released on steam in November 2021 but has now

Heaven Dust 2 is an adventure-puzzle-action combo rolled into one, made by One Gruel Studio and Indienovam, and is a great love letter to classic horror survival games such as Resident Evil, which I was all about. The players will take the role of Steve after surviving the events of

Earlier this year, the small yet incredibly talented team from Acid Nerve released a wonderfully weird game named Death’s Door. With backing from Devolver Digital as their publisher, it was in very good hands from the beginning, and now Nintendo Switch owners get a chance to play this top-down, action-adventure

Gundam and mecha anime have never really been my thing. I’ve always preferred Shounen. However, Zoids was one of my favorite anime growing up, so I thought I’d give Super Robot Wars 30 a chance. If you are not from Japan you may have never heard of Super Robot Wars.

There is a certain something about simplicity that can take you by surprise when you least expect it. It may appear bland at first but the beauty of the subject can also flourish under those same conditions. Enter Dungeon Encounters, a raw and pure form of a JRPG made by

It’s no secret that I really enjoyed The Outer Worlds. Back when it was released, I played it from the moment I got home from work, right up until I went to bed. I was meant to be reviewing one of the Call of Duty games. Needless to say, when

Hades is a roguelike action dungeon crawler made by Supergiant Games, and winner of 50+ GOTY awards for 2020, and is finally making its way to release on the Xbox and Playstation platforms. Players are placed in the role of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape

In my entire gaming history, I never thought I would have to explain to someone else how to manipulate time with a talking frog. Now I have piqued your interest, let me tell you more about the new age JRPG that has captivated my heart. Cris Tails, published by Modus

For a game series that is older than I am, spanning over three decades of game entries, I’m only now dipping my toes in the wonderful world of Ys. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, is a 3rd person, action RPG, single-player experience developed by legendary developers, Nihon Falcom, with help from

The ’20s have finally rolled around again so it’s the perfect time to bust out the tailored suits and Jazz music. Unfortunately, most of us have been stuck inside since the start of 2020. A minor setback, but it has definitely hampered our ability to go out and start an

Developed by Dead Drop Studios LLC, ‘Outbreak: Endless Nightmares’ is the sixth installment to the Outbreak series which is a rogue-like horror game that supports single-player and split-screen co-op and pays homage to classic horror games such as the likes of Resident Evil.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne originally debuted on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, followed by a director’s cut (Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax) in 2004, to which that version of the game was made available to NTSC (American) and PAL (European) audiences. 18 years on from its original release,
