The weird need to reinvent itself onto a competitive format has damaged this newest Gundam game every step of the way.
Frustrating shortcomings in its abundant cutscenes and gameplay make this the weakest entry in the Valkyria series yet.
Neptune and her friends return for yet another spin-off in the Neptunia series; their dive into the world of Vtubers is a dull and unremarkable experience unfortunately.
Tokyo RPG Factory's newest game has a lot of great ideas on paper, but never manages to fully realize them.
Frustratingly repetitive gameplay makes this a disappointing follow-up to last year's action RPG by Gust.
A disappointing game adaptation for one of the best Dragon Quest spin-off series that possesses major structural and gameplay shortcomings.

A short hack n' slash that's disappointingly average at best despite glimpses of a better game underneath it.
Although it has some interesting ideas as a survival action RPG, Binary Star Falling into Darkness will primarily appeal to hardcore Made in Abyss fans and offer very little to newcomers.

Boasting a compelling battle system, this RPG has a few missteps in its ambition to expand the genre in creative ways.
Fumbling between technical issues and stilted writing, this action RPG has the potential to be great... in future installments.
Although a solid entry, this title serves as an intermediary of Kiryu's actions between Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon so its endpoint is inherently predictable and as enjoyable as it is, the narrative is relatively thin in exchange for a wealth of side content to pad it out.
While the combat to this Valkyrie Profile action RPG spin-off is top notch, the rest of the game ranges from mediocre to merely serviceable.
