Nusakana
As has been stated, this game is an excellent example of what skilled designers can do with RPG Maker. This game is of excellent quality, potentially rivaling a number of big-name-studio RPGs.
You control a character who is visiting the island nation of Nusakana for one year.
Aside from that, the story depends on what you choose to do. There are quests that can be carried out, people to befriend (and perhaps even a girl to fall for), monsters to fight, items to cook or forge, and huge mysteries to solve.

Nusakana is an entirely non-linear and pretty much open world RPG with an insanely good bossa nova-ish soundtrack, made completely with custom assets and with tons of content & replay value, all in an extremely ambitious RPG Maker project that looks nothing like you’d expect out of a RPG Maker game. In this game, our silent protagonist finds himself in the exotic island of Nusakana for a year long vacation, where he connects with the peculiar culture of its inhabitants, encounters all kinds of bizarre creatures and beings and discovers the mysteries of the island with the help of a load of different cute fish girls.

LEGRAND LEGACY: Tale of the Fatebounds
LEGRAND LEGACY: Tales of the Fatebounds is a wasted potential, but overall still comes out as decent and enjoyable experience made by developers who listen to the community.
RATING: 6/10.
I’ll start off with what I dislike:
-
Sub-par narrative. - WARNING spoiler potential
The game started off nicely. Party members were interesting with their own distinct personalities, backgrounds, and personal issues. Along the way, they found themselves in disagreements, having trust issues, while they needed to face trials to test their “worth”. With this scenario, you would expect each character to have a personal development throughout the game, right? BUT THE GAME SAYS HELL NO. You are going to see this pattern very often: At first, let’s be friends! - A moment later, fck you I don’t trust you! - And then a moment later, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, my bad - aaand a moment later, fck you all I’m done with this shit!. Some party member have either bipolar disorder, or they are just a bunch of idiots who do not learn from their mistakes.

My review on this game, POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
Story: 6/10
The story was interesting, big war going on, chosen ones coming together to put a stop to it. Characters developing overtime as experience shape them up to be the heroes fate chose them to be. Sadly that is not really seen here. The story is interesting and the concept is cool but without developing characters to push the story to be interesting I found myself being beyond bored with the story. I love fantasy elements in RPGs and a in depth story to boot. However, I just couldn’t get behind the characters in the story because of the constant issues that kept arising throughout the journey. The plot empathizes that the Fatebound must work together and share a common purpose yet whenever there is a secret behind each character (which of course there is), the whole party loses their focus and doubts everything over and over. Even after finishing the trials that test the party to find common ground and work together, the characters in this party is purely glass and shatters at the mention of a “secret.” The concept of the story was really cool and could have been expanded upon but I just got bored, sometimes it picks up and gets interesting but then oh no this guy was secretly super evil “How could you not tell us?.”

The music is relaxing and the rythm mechanic is really challenging (at least for me).
Buuuut i havent found a quit option… would be nice, if it could be added at the menu.

Slow living with Princess
As a big fan of adventure and fantasy games. anime, and web/light novels, this game is totally my wet dream lol and no, I have neither read the novel nor watched the anime, and I haven’t finished the entire story YET ;) wink
With a bit of isekai vibe (I don’t even know why I get it from this game), you start your new life in game as a adventure and a drug dealer or a pharmacist as a kids friendly term. Though you can pretty much sell everything and anything in your apothecary, like sometimes your customers will come and rob you off the egg you’ve been saving to make eggs and bacon…

Huge fan of the manga and now the anime. Very fun RPG that is reminiscent of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. You gather herbs and other resources as well as fight monsters in dungeons in order to obtain supplies for crafting and potion making which you will need to sell in the character’s personal store.
For an early access game, there is a LOT of content. Took me 27 Hours to complete all available main quests and side quests. Was also able to complete a majority of the wishlists for the other characters with the exception of some items which are too rare to obtain. Also only missing 1 achievement, but I did not want to grind a few more hours when I essentially finished all the available storyline quests.

Rune Factory 4 Special
The Peak of Farming RPG Game
Having played the game for countless hours in 3DS and the Switch, RF 4S is easily the best in the series and is the best RPG Farming sim out there, rivaling even Stardew Valley and easily outclassing the series this game is based on: Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.
Besides as a Farming sim, the game is a great JRPG with nice and fluid combat, there are several weapon type which has different gameplay each such as short sword which is decently fast and will have 100% of your shield effect but it’s range is limited or dual knife which is extremely fast and have lots of DPS but the range is very short and you cannot have the shield benefit at all, my fav is great sword since it has a lot of damage and great reach but it’s slow and only have 50% of the shield effect, but you can use other weapon skill while benefiting the greatsword’s range and damage, yes you can use different weapon skill even if you’re not equiping the corresponding weapon but you’ll get double the MP cost penalty which is annoying early on but once you have lots of food to restore your MP it is not a big deal.

Written review below!
I was a bit iffy going into this one. Harvest Moon type games have always been a bit hit or miss for me, but with Rune Factory 5 coming out soon, I figured I’d give this one a shot.
Gameplay
Despite the simple graphics here - RF4S is a bit of a beast in terms of content. Not only is there the farming stuff, but you’ve got dungeon exploring, this extensive crafting system, a large map to explore, and a dating and marriage system on top of that. Up front, it seemed like I would get lost in all of this, but the game actually does a really good job easing you into it through its request system.

Anime Play Life: Unlimited
I won’t recommend this game at all, I do admit it has a lot of potential, but in the state its in right now I won’t recommend it. \
-
You don’t get a tutorial on the controls and how they work.
-
The clothing are clipping
-
VERY limited character costumization options.
-
Alot of weird advertising about a “Special version” download which is nowhere to be found at all.
-
No character facial expressions, such as smile, shock, suprised or happy.

I think there is a lot of potential for this game but how it stands right now, it is not very good. The character customization was bare bones and I had to back out of character customization and reenter just to get the menus to go away so i could hit continue. Once in the game, there was no prompt to let you know what button was used for interacting. I hit numerous buttons and clicked multiple times and still could not interact with anything. Until the game advances, worth the money.

Islet Online
Still playing yes, Game, itself is fascinating where you can hunt animals, for food an raw materials, you can even flood the world at one point, PVP is option too. I haven’t tried it yet. I did have events like bunnies bunnies everywhere…not bunny to drop. If you get that.(died by kamikaze bunny) believe for one exception you could build towering mazes and mazes,
I did see castles and cathereadals somewhere people are building amazing structures.
You can upload your latest creation to steam where they showcase it,

This review is for the current version of the game(2/7/16)
What is Islet Online? Islet Online is a creative open world sandbox, similar to Minecraft. This game features an experience system that allows you to level up in pretty much everything like jumping, crafting, fighting and much more. These can directly effect your play experience, for example, you may be able to eventually jump up to 4 times in the air. It actually reminds me of McMMO from the old Minecraft Bukkit days….

Get Rich or Die Gaming
I got this game in a bundle before, so I was not as irritated as some people who paid full price.
It has a number of bugs in it - one causes the game to crash. It is pretty short (under 10 minutes), art is okay, the whole thing is kind of something you would have seen on Newgrounds before.
The best part of the game was the business dude conversations which ended up making me laugh.
I don’t recommend buying it, instead just go watch the 5 min let’s play of it.

Shattered Hourglass
My take on Shattered Hourglass.
I have played this game 6-8 times since the first version. I never tire of it. I have played all endings which are based on your choices and Karma points. I have always enjoyed this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes a game with so many ways to play it. The optional dungeons are tough but, the rewards are great. One game, I put over 200 hours into it. So, 15-20 hours is just getting warmed up.
Depending on the path you chose, you may meet different characters and also experience gameplay that is only available during that particular path.

I’ve been playing this game since late 2014.I have played through all paths and grew quite fond of the Karma system!
It’s on my top 3 RPG Games of all times!
I definitely love Neutral path and the way my choices play out in the end.
PS: Zulwhern is a creep and Juliet just predictable, but Duran and Mio are my go to.
This was the first game that really made me see my choices being important. Being able to choose my own path and handle consequences, both story wise and mechanically wise, were a gamechanger for me.

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION
Game has gotten lot better in these past few years. those of you who haven’t played this game yet, I would definitely recommend them to play it especially the windows edition if you have a good pc to back graphics (better than ps4).
PROS:
Game has good story, good challenges, lots of exploration and lots of content.
CONS:
Rarely crashes sometimes (so save frequently), bad camera angle during fights sometimes.

I actually dont recommend this game, i went through the pain of playing this game because i really liked the story…
Even though the story is not finished and prematurely closed because of the cancellation of many DLC’s i consider that its a really cool one if you actually follow the order.
It is interesting how you start playing as the most powerful character in the story and then finish it as just a simple pawn (a kingsglaive)
The music is really really good, its terribly underrated but so far one of the greatest ost’s ever
