After Tales of Arise marked Tales’ 17th Main entry (these main entries are complemented by a nearly uncountable number of remasters, and ports), the Tales series has established itself as one of the biggest JRPG franchises around. Now, it is as good a time as any, to reminiscence about the series, and what better…
Tales of Arise’s stunning commercial success (1 million copies sold in 7 days), assures that the series will continue into the future (yay!). So far (I am writing the game’s official review for the site), Arise, is by far, the best Tales game that I have played since Tales of Vesperia. That said, Namco clearly…
While most of the focus of the recent PlayStation 5 game showcase has gone to titles like God of War: Ragnarok, and Spider Man 2. As an open-world action RPG fan, Forspoken, Square Enix’s newest PS5 exclusive title, has me nearly as excited about its prospects as God of War: Ragnarok itself. The Final Fantasy…
The Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s portable (console) hybrid, is one of the most popular video gaming machines on the market. Launched in 2017, the Nintendo Switch quickly became a best seller, and naturally, it has featured a high number of PlayStation 3/ Xbox 360 ports in its gaming catalogue. Today, we are rating the top five…
Tonight (or tomorrow morning) those of us who pre-ordered Tales of Arise should be able to download, or pick up a copy of the game at stores. It is currently holding an 87 Metacritic rating, thus it might be the best Tales game since Tales of Vesperia. Knowing this, there is no better Thursday to…
What a pleasant surprise Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning has been for me. I missed the original release in (2012). At that point, I was fully invested in Skyrim (would be all the way until the The Witcher 3 launched), and Kingdom of Amalur flew under my radar. Thankfully, The Nintendo Switch has been the perfect…
This was a tough list to compile. The reason for that is that when you search for Nintendo 64 “RPGs” you only get two hits on Metacritic.com. Simply put, the N64 did not have many traditional RPGs released on the U.S. and you could (quite literally) count them on one hand…even if it was missing…
Hironobu Sakaguchi might have released his final (no pun intended) game in Apple Arcade’s Fantasian. “I am Nearing the End of My Video Game Development Career” According to a recent Washington Post Interview, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Creator of Final Fantasy (and other great RPGs) feels that Fantasian could be his final game. Sakaguchi is fond of…
The Sega Dreamcast was not necessarily known for its wide library of great RPGs. Perhaps, this (the DC’s small RPG library) was due to a short lived life cycle, and to Sony’s dominance in that genre. Still, Sega’s final machine did have some real gems, and we have taken up the task of listing the…
The Record of Lodoss War: Advent of Cardice was a strange title for me. I purchased it went it first came out, but I was about 16 years old then, and was disappointed by its graphics, the fact that it didn’t play like the J-RPGs that I had become accustomed to playing, and the allure…
