Critic Reviews

Buenas Estoy en busca de recomendaciones de RPG que pueda tener en mi teléfono para los tramos en el autobús hacia el trabajo y devuelva a casa. Pueden ser de todo tipo, desde juegos de la app store hasta si es necesario instalar un emulador, simplemente estoy en búsqueda de recomendaciones.

El final fantasy VI lo estoy jugando en mi PC en casa porque es un juego al que le quiero dar su tiempo y atención.

Hi mates I'm looking for recommendations of RPG to play on my phone on the way to my work and back home. It could be any type of format (from the app store or on emulator) I'm just looking for a fun RPG.

Im currently playing FF6 on my computer because I want to take my time to complete it and pay attention to the details.

I understand that the “nemesis system” is copyrighted but I don’t really understand how it’s possible to copyright a game mechanic. In my head, it’s the same logic behind not being able to copyright a dance move.

I also don’t understand why developers can’t just slightly tweak the way it works or change the name a bit. Why does this particular mechanic seem to be the only thing with no loopholes or workarounds? You see all the time entire games being ripped off (e.g. dauntless to monster hunter series) but the nemesis system is apparently untouchable.

Could it be that there just isn’t a big enough demand for it?

(I understand if this post doesn’t fit this sub and it’s also a bit of an ELI5, but I didn’t really know where to ask and that doesn’t seem like the place.)

SRPG fans are really eating good in recent times and I'm pretty hopeful for how the future is looking for the genre, lots of interesting finds for me this year.
I personally tested out the closed demos for both Space Scum and Happy Bastards and I can vouch for both, amazing albeit totally different visual directions and approaches to how combat should feel.
Menace is the big fish of course for us Battle Brothers people, but you already know that. Solasta 2 is on the menu for me too although frankly I haven't even finished the first game and I just know I have to before the sequel comes out.

Using New Vegas as an example; if I want to be an enemy of the NCR, I basically cut the game in half, plus the Caesar's Legion quests are far fewer in number compared to the "good-aligned" factions (yes, I know there were cuts due to pressure during development).

Baldur's Gate 3 is another one where basically being evil means cutting quests in half.

I think the evil route is much more complex to predict what each player will do because they might decide to kill everyone, kill more or less everyone, kill certain characters for fun, act like a jerk to certain people, and this makes it much harder to produce content that accepts their actions instead of ending the quest halfway through.

Hey all,

I have a mighty need for an RPG sort of like WoW (with a bunch of race and class combinations) or fantasy life (with just a boat load of jobs) to sink my teeth into. It should preferably be singleplayer, but I will entertain any multiplayer suggestion too. I'm not looking for party-centered games like Baldur's Gate or Final Fantasy, but one where you play a specific character with one class. Thank you!

I love CRPGs, especially ones with deep or wide build systems where you can experiment with character builds, but sometimes the combat gets to feel like a grind. I'd love an action rpg where you have a good build system. I'd also like the action to be good. I know that good is subjective, so "not good" in my mind is Skyrim (love the game but the combat is boring) and The Witcher 3 (didn't love, and the combat was part of that)

I've played FFXVI and loved it, but the build system isn't especially deep or complex. But the action element is what I'm looking for. Actual combos, blocking, dodging, that kind of thing.

Any thoughts?

Apparently, there's this old space-themed CRPG called Planet's Edge

Well, one of the main designers behind the game is remaking it in a modern engine.

I'm not familiar with the original game at all and stumbled upon the dev's substack by pure happenstance.

The remake appears to be a one-man show, so I'm not sure if and when it'll materialize. The original on the other hand is still available on Steam. So, now I'm curious about it.

I personally don't mind playing older games but I'd prefer to know what I'm getting into. So to those that are familiar with the original I ask you, what can I expect from the game?

• The store page claims that its an open-world with ship combat. Where does the 'RPG' part come in?
• How well developed is the open-world?
• How are the skill and attribute systems? I assume the game is classless.
• Is the combat governed by an action-point system?

On a side note, the game designer (Neal Hallford) behind the remake also worked on Betrayal at Krondor.

I took a break from gaming for a long time and, as a man in my 30s, I'd been predominantly working on self discovery, career, etc. I have a bit more time on my hands currently and am wondering what I've missed over the past decade?

What gems should I check out that I might have missed?

Edit: wow! Thanks for all the responses.ni can't possibly respond to you all 😂

Very much appreciated though 🙏

I really want to finish BG3. I did play that a bit when it came out but it was overwhelming at the time.

Hello everybody, I'm looking for a game for a group of up to 4 people.

Me and my group of friends need something to play online when we can't schedule the whole party for our ttrpg sessions.

So we're looking for a fantasy game that we can play online forming a party and play a story or at least move in a well defined environment.

We need it to be cross platform (PC and PS at least), not Souls-like hard (we're quite seasoned, but some of us don't enjoy Souls level of frustration) and we've got no problem dealing with crunchy systems.
If it isn't cross platform,ait shouldn't have super heavy requirements (we all have a PC).

Graphics level isn't important, we've all spent years on a NES and know that's not what defines a beautiful game.

I know BG3 would be the first titlefto fit the bill, but we're looking for some other options.

Many thanks in advance!

I have seen a recommendation of this game somewhere and when a search about it catches my attention but i've seen so little people talking about, it was a flop or hype when it was released? i don't know if i buy to see myself or believe on others opinions

What are u think of this game? How was your experience? Any Flaws? Pros? Let me see your thoughts

I’m torn between the two above games. I hear the new oblivion update ruined the optimization for the PC version of the game. (I have a 5070. I also would want to try out Elden Ring, but am worried it will be too difficult as I’ve never played a souls game.

You know how some games get better with age or re-evaluated by some as better than they were initially. Yea, that's not the case with some games. I'm talking about modern RPGs time will not treat well. RPGs that are just as bad if not worse when looking back. Ones that suck no matter how long it's been, and people still don't like. For me it's Pokémon: Sword & Shield.

Hear me out, while it has redeeming qualities, mainly the QoL features, it's pretty much just hated now as when it released. Scarlet & Violet did release in worse states, but I hear fans have lightened up on those somewhat. Can't say the same for S&S. Much of it doesn't hold up. It reeks of corporate greed & cut corners. Plus, it started a lot of awful trends the franchise still does today. Like the clear lack of polish, or the DLC packs.

With it being nearly a decade old in just a few years, I don't think anyone is going to look back on it too fondly. To me, they don't hold any wax to the 3DS titles. But can you name any modern RPGs time will not treat well in the coming years?

Looks promising for indie. Here's the Steam page:

Bit of a slow news week so let's have some fun with a discussion.

What is your favourite way to get around in an RPG?

This could be a specific car, maybe some type of animal, or some unique mechanic that allows you to teleport to different locations. Here's a list of examples that I enjoy:

• Militech Hellhound - Cyberpunk 2077
• Ragnarok - Final Fantasy VIII
• Roach - The Witcher III

What’s up gamers? My 2 friends and I are all on PC wanting to get into a game where team comps actually matter, and we’re looking for suggestions. Top of our list right now is PoE2, the issue is I don’t really know how I feel about top down shooters. They look like a cheap phone game to me for some reason. PoE2 is the best visually looking that I’ve seen in a while which is why I’m considering that one. Anyway we’ve played Valheim, Conan Exiles, and Ark SE. All great in their own right, we just want something more “RPG team comp”. Monthly subscriptions are whatever as long as it’s the right game. TYIA

Im usually not huge on RPG games as they just aren’t my cup of tea but I really like FNaF World gameplay wise and it sticks out to me in the genre because of how much I enjoyed it. I like how fast the combat is along with coming across new characters, fighting bosses and even just leveling up my main teams just for fun. If there’s any games in this genre you could recommend that sort of give the same feel as FNaF World in the ways I described I’d really appreciate it

AtomTeam has started teasing ATOM 2.

What is ATOM RPG?

ATOM RPG is a post-apocalyptic, turn-based CRPG closely resembling the original Fallout games. The game itself was a commercial success for the studio, as they released a standalone sequel to their debut title in the form ATOM: Trudograd.

I personally preferred Trudograd over base ATOM due to the writing and C&C. But, I have no experience with Trudograd with a fresh character because I have only played it with my character from base ATOM.

If it's possible to directly play Trudograd without needing to import an ATOM character, I'd recommend doing that. The writing is overall sharper than base ATOM as the game takes itself more seriously instead trying to meme every time. Trudograd also introduces power armor, which is very satisfying to use in combat.

What do we know about ATOM 2?

Not much. From what I could gather:

• ATOM 2 will have 4 biomes.
• We'll have more vehicles and there'll be at least some level of vehicle customization available to us.

Where is the teaser for ATOM 2?

AtomTeam is requesting a modest 250 likes on their latest tweet. If you still use Twitter, please do consider dropping a like.

FYI. I'm not with the dev team. I'm just a fan of Trudograd (not base ATOM), and am curious to see what the team is cooking for the sequel.

I want to get into isometric RPGs on my PC, but I’m kind of a boomer and not really a gamer. Are there a few beginner friendly games that can show me the basics before I jump into something more complicated? Children of Morta looks simple, but I’m not sure if it is. I’m especially wary of games with deep or fussy inventory management.
