Only recommended for those who read this review and still want to buy the game anyway.

Conception II overrelies on eccentricity to mask its unexciting game mechanics.

A game that will resonate with you and make you nostalgic for something that you might not even remember forgetting.

If you enjoy the sort of puzzles found in Myst, then you'll feel right at home in the clever, exploration-focused world of Ether One.

The content is fantastic, though the timing between episodes holds the game back.

Shin Megami Tensei for iOS not only serves as a virtual history lesson for this amazing series, but is still one of the more unique old-school JRPGs you will play. I definitely recommend checking this game out.

Worth the cost of entry for any Final Fantasy fan.

Yet another charming, low-stress Atelier title that provides a good respite from the melodrama of its RPG peers.

If you like Jane Austen, purchase this immediately.

Two steps forward and one step back for this incredibly challenging and rewarding experience.

Some people may view Doggins as a lovely piece of childlike art-gaming. Others may view Doggins as a pretentious piece of "hipster" art-gaming.

If you hate South Park, you won't like this. If you're in the middle or love the show, this is the RPG for you.

Although Episode 2 struggles in terms of pacing, a strong Act 2 to this brief entry makes for a worthwhile venture.

Erica Reed is an engaging character: flawed but good-hearted, and learning as she goes along — much like the game named for her. This was a trip I'm glad I went on, and one I advise any fan of adventure games to take for a spin.

For visual novel and turn-based RPG lovers.

Lightning Returns is a game that tries so hard to reinvent itself that it loses some of what made its forebearers special. For every step the game takes forward in an effort to innovate, it takes two back by failing on another (usually technical) level.

One of the best visual novels available in English, despite some hiccups.

The content is fantastic, though the timing between episodes holds the game back.

A messy, bland RPG that might attract some for its nostalgic powers.

An experience I advise no one to miss.

A classic adventure story built on a solid table-top RPG framework.

One of the most cognitive, strategic gaming experiences available now.

Worth checking out if you're a fan of darkly twisted JRPGs like Shadow Hearts.

Despite its shortcomings, Shivah is a worthwhile exploration into religion and one's convictions.

A worthy contender to Diablo and Torchlight as the premium hack 'n' slash experience.

This isn't the next big JRPG, but it'll certainly take you a long time to complete.

At its core, Gomo is best suited for young adventurers who lack the experience to take on badder aliens and higher ransoms.

A decent RPG that could have been great.
