An Echo of an Elusive Age of Good RPGs
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was released for Windows and the PS4 in 2018. This eleventh installment of the series comes at a time when many faithful fans of RPGs, or so I’m told, have begun to lose hope in the perennial publishers from the golden age of the genre. I have always enjoyed RPGs, spending most of my time in the Final Fantasy series. The only other Dragon Quest game that I have played was the first in the series, receiving it for free in the late 80s/early 90s from some type of giveaway (I think it was either Nintendo Power magazine or through a cereal company promotion). I am no expert, but am hopeful for the future of the series after playing this one. It seems that Square Enix hasn’t completely destroyed …

Tobe's Vertical Adventure Review comment
Darn, I was kind of hoping my experience with the game was the result of using an Xbox 360 controller with the horrible mushroom-style d-pad. Looks like it IS actually a problem with the game's implementation of input, and not the input device at fault.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Review comment
The problem with dialog in Japanese games is the fact that Weebs demand LITERAL translations, instead of idiomatic localizations, like we got in the glory days of Ted Woolsey. The stilted exchanges we see in modern Japanese games are the way they are because that's how Japanese people speak. We should be glad that the original Japanese character names were Nipponized Western names, otherwise we'd be stuck with (more) Europan characters with Japanese names.

Firewatch Review comment
You choose various responses to make on the walkie-talkie to your fellow lookout lady, which then leads you to various areas on the map to explore, and which triggers various events. You explore areas and search for items, investigating and discovering various things. There really aren't any puzzles per se. But I am hesitant to label it a Visual Novel, seems more involved to me.

I'm kind of fuzzy on the gameplay section here. Do you do anything besides walk around and talk on the walkie-talkie? Are there any puzzles? We might have to reclassify this thing as a Visual Novel.

Looking at your backlog, I recommend you try Legend of Grimrock next. It's a different type of RPG than the ones you've been playing a lot lately, plus you need a change of pace from all the action games you're playing right now.

I don't see any reviews... This is most distressing!

You need to start rating some games you DON'T like. You're currently ranked as more generous than Chris!
