Maybe that Silent Hill 2 remake is in good hands after all? - Layers of Fear Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re like me and haven’t touched the Layers of Fear series up to this point. Like a lot of horror-heads, I was extremely worried when I heard the news that the long-rumored Silent Hill 2 remake would be developed by Bloober Team, a Polish developer of smaller indie horror games. It didn’t help that the only Bloober Team game I’d played up to that point was the studio’s

It's free, but at what cost? Strange Hill is a cool adventure thriller with too many ads

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.

Attention Atelier fans! This cozy crafting RPG is a must-play

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

Why not start 2024 like it's 1994 with this great-looking SNES-style retro RPG?

Another January means another new year. The future's great and all, but do you ever wish that you could step back into the past? Well, we can't help with that, but we can recommend a game that might just give you that warm and fuzzy feeling you felt popping a new RPG cartridge into your Super Nintendo! Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk is a new retro RPG launching on PC next week. Created by solo indie developer Fred Brown, it's intended to be the beginning of a series. But as you can probably guess from watching that trailer, this game is heavily inspired by classic RPGs of the SNES and Game Boy era, such as

A tense sci-fi walking simulator that you can finish in one sitting - Fort Solis Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.

Turnip Boy returns to break the law again in this adorable roguelite action game

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a surprise sensation when it launched in 2021. Who knew that it could be so much fun playing as a cute little vegetable guy who just loves committing federal felony? The Zelda-style adventure gameplay didn't hurt matters either. Well, a few years have passed, but it seems our heart-healthy hero still has a taste for being a bad guy. His latest adventure is titled

Moonlight Blade might scratch your mobile MMO itch

SHOULD I PLAY MOONLIGHT BLADE? Eh, you could do worse, but you could also probably do better. If you’re desperate for a power-grind, free-to-play MMO to play on your phone, Moonlight Blade is a totally solid if unimpressive option. With a setting in historical China and a focus that expands beyond just combat, this is much better than other recent mobile MMOs, but it’s not likely to keep you engaged long-term unless your phone is your only gaming platform.

TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #6: Final Fantasy XVI - the next step for gaming’s greatest series

I realize that headline might be a little provocative. Gaming’s greatest series? Really? Well, yes. For my money, at least, no single franchise has had a larger impact on my personal life in video games than Final Fantasy. The original game introduced me to Japanese RPGs. Final Fantasy VI taught me how much a video game story could affect me. Final Fantasy XIV is probably the best MMORPG ever made.

The drama of pro wrestling meets the adventure of classic JRPGs in WrestleQuest

Wrestling and role-playing might seem like a strange combo for the uninitiated, but these are actually two great tastes that go great together! OH YEAH, BROTHER! If you need proof, just check out WrestleQuest, the colorful new RPG from developer Mega Cat Studios. You can see some footage of WrestleQuest above, but it basically casts players as an action figure going on a journey to become the best of the best through turn-based wrestling matches.

With some technical improvements, Knightingale could be one of the best mobile JRPGs ever

Square Enix has spent the past few years rebuilding a lot of its old-school credibility with a bunch of high-quality pixel-art games using what that publisher calls "HD-2D" visuals. Think stuff like Octopath Traveler, where it's using pixel visuals that would feel at home on the Super Nintendo, but with a level of quality that classic hardware couldn't possibly pull off. It's a wonder that more other publishers and developers haven't tried to follow Square's example, which is why I was immediately interested in Knightingale, a gacha game with JRPG aesthetics and an absolutely beautiful look being created by NetEase. And while the first closed beta for Knightingale definitely has some very big technical issues, I'm impressed and cautiously optimistic with the actual game here.

Zenless Zone Zero is like Persona!? [Reaction and Evaluation]

This is truly surprising. I'm not a huge admirer of MiHoYo and their work, but reaching out to players that are specifically enamored with Persona and it's atmosphere in terms of bonding, gameplay, and music / story is a refreshing change of pace that hopefully result in fresh new concepts from other developers willing to reach out. It's difficult to suppose it wouldn't, given that the game has already gathered over 10 million pre-registered users in several months, and has undoubtedly risen even higher since its recent showcase and announcement. Don't forget to

Nier: Automata is crossing over with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, so I should probably check it out

I’ve never played Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, but Nier: Automata just might be my favorite video game of all time. It’s got everything I want in games: awesome battles, an emotional story, and an incredibly loveable cast of characters. I’m always happy to spend more time with characters like 2B, and that’s why the upcoming Goddess of Victory: NIKKE x NieR:Automata crossover event has me curious. I don’t know exactly what the collaboration will involve, but I do know that 2B, A2, and a few other characters will be visiting NIKKE’s world. In the trailer, you can see one of my favorite Nier: Automata characters, Pascal, holding a Lunar Tear. If they were looking for a way to tug at my heartstrings, they found it.

A great anime adaptation inside a subpar gacha game - DanMachi Battle Chronicle Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY DANMACHI BATTLE CHRONICLE? Only play it if you really like DanMachi. DanMachi Battle Chronicle is a visually stunning gacha game based on the popular light novel/manga/anime series DanMachi or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? in its full English title. The game features a well-made story backed by great voice acting and cutscenes, but it falls short with everything else: repetitive gameplay, slow progression, limited content, and a poorly designed shop.

WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

Lovecraft plus Metroidvania should be a killer combo, but this game has some big problems

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it unless you’re a superfan of anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft or you’re dying for a Metroidvania. The Last Case of Benedict Fox follows a demon-possessed detective who has the ability to jump into the memories of the dead. Using these powers, he’s attempting to find out the dark truth behind what happened to his father, a man heavily involved in occult rituals. It’s a great setup, but the experience is quickly dragged down by clunky controls and frustrating level design.
