Sword and Fairy 6 is a PS4 port of a nearly four year old PC game and I believe it is the first title in the series to make it to the West. It’s effectively a JRPG but it originates from China. The game plays how you expect but with […]

2 From Fordesoft, which from the credits seems effectively like a one man team but with a bit of help here and there, comes Emerald Shores on PS4 (and cross buy with Vita and PS3). A platformer influenced by 8/16-bit classics but with added RPG elements sounds interesting but unfortunately it […]
Emerald Shores – PS4 Review
Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is a new RPG/management game for PS4. You’re the new principal at a school for wannabe heroes and you’re in charge of everything from building upgrades, equipment crafting, which missions to attend to, what classes the students become and who graduates. You get to name […]
Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story – PS4 Review
Divinity: Original Sin 2 came out on PC a year ago but an enhanced version has just been released on PS4 called Divinty: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition. The incredibly well received old-school style, isometric RPG has been reworked to function with a controller and it’s really, really good. […]
Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition – PS4 Review
The third and final chapter of The Banner Saga has been released, allowing those who have taken up the journey in the first two games to finish the story. If you haven’t then, although you can start with this third release and there is a recap on the menu, I […]
The Banner Saga 3 – PS4 Review
2 Vampyr, the latest effort by Parisian coders Don’t Nod (or DONTNOD depending on who is writing it) who are most celebrated for Life is Strange but are more fondly known by us at least for Remember Me, is an interesting game. I know that’s an odd thing to lead with in a review but think […]
Vampyr – PS4 Review
I reviewed the PS4 release of The Witch and the Hundred Knight a couple of years ago. It had the strong visual and audio design you’d expect from a Nippon Ichi title, but with a real time action RPG engine instead of the tactical style fans of Disgaea were used […]
The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 – PS4 Review
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has just come out on the PS4, an ambitious open world RPG with similarities to both the Elder Scrolls and The Witcher. To make such a large game with Kickstarter backing is quite a brave move, but how close have Czech developer Warhorse Studios come to toppling […]
Kingdom Come: Deliverance – PS4 Review
I have to admit to having not played the original Demon Gaze. I have however reviewed multiple Experience Inc. developed RPGs on the Vita (here, here and here if you’re interested) so do have a decent frame of reference. Although in many ways it felt familiar I was surprised by […]
Demon Gaze II – PS4 Review
1 RPG’s brings to mind hundred hour epics with men in armour and women in corsets, with sprawling towns, movie quality cutscenes and plots that go on for hours. Cat Quest has none of these, but it does have cats, lots of cats. It would be easy to write Cat Quest off as a joke, […]
Cat Quest – PS4 Review
6 2014’s The Stick of Truth was a great game. Aside from being a credible turn-based RPG, it was also like you were playing the cartoon. The look was perfect and it was a welcome way to delve back into South Park’s world which we’d not visited thanks to other shows […]
South Park: The Fractured But Whole – PS4 Review
Battle Chasers Nightwar is a crowdfunded game based on the comic of the same name. I doubt I’m alone in not knowing anything about the comic but apparently this was well respected. The game then has been created by the same person behind the comic and is a perfect jumping on […]
