Edge Of Eternity
First of all I would like to say that I am really enjoying this game and would definitely recommend it, I haven’t found a turn based RPG in absolutely ages that I have really enjoyed and usually end up going back to old favourites like FF7.
There are a lot of really good things about this game and I am very surprised that a small team has made a game of such quality, I am 27 hours into it now and I haven’t really encountered any bugs that I am aware of. Nino Kuni 2 was made by a big team and 2 years after it’s release the bugs have not been fixed and at certain points the game is unplayable. No such issues with this game, there are a few small moments where I have experienced a very minor amount of lag but that could just be down to me having everything set to maximum settings to play the game in the best possible quality.

Let’s keep this short.
The size of the studio, technical qualities of the game or the budged are completely IRRELEVANT to the negative score.
What is arguably the most important part of a RPG?
Story and characters.
Decent characters (some are actually damn good), absolutely UNSATISFYING story.
A lot of great ideas are introduced, none are explored. AT ALL.
There are so many cut corners that you could build another whole table with them.
All the interesting stuff is thrown away to prop up the most cookie cutter, bland, generic, uninspired part of any story.

Dragonborne
This game is quite literally a classic gameboy RPG.
It feels like it was made when the gameboy had just came out.
This is both good and bad, and as such I’d recommend caution when buying it.
So if you loved the old gameboy RPGs, as in the very first ones, and want to check out something nostalgic then hit this up.

I really wanted to like this, but it just isn’t for me. I’m two hours in and while the game isn’t bad by any means it’s just…dull. I’m having a very hard time convincing myself to keep going.
There’s a lot of moving boulder puzzles and fetch quests to find multiple items like dragon scales to enter a cave or golden dragons. There are also fetch quests like finding a cat that ran into a forest or bringing a guy and sandwich to receive an item, that when combined with other fetch quest items, will help you to advance. I got a raft this way.

Space Fox Kimi
Fun little JRPG in a futuristic setting with some entertaining features like the ship to ship combat, skills tied to your weapon, different solutions for some of the quests and more. In case you are worried when you see some anthropomorphic girls in a JRPG from a dev that sounds Asion, that this is another one of “those games”, I can put your mind at ease: This is family friendly game made by a Canadian company. Highly recommended, even at full price.

Strangers of the Power 3
So, i started with Strangers of the Power 2, went to the first one and than found the 3rd. It is amazing how the art has changed so much, for the better in my opinion from the very beginning til now. I was able to make it through the entire game and defeat the final boss in 4 hours. But I am following the creator in case he creates more works of art. Well done!

Strangers of the Power 3: A very vanilla RPG with little to no character development/plot
Strangers of the Power 3 is a RPG with turn based combat that lacks the depth to make you care for the characters in its world with what feels like a very rushed story.

Alum
** Το παιχνίδι ολοκληρώθηκε ** (For English scroll down)
Στα θετικά η φωνή του κύριου χαρακτήρα, είναι αρκετά συγκινητικό σε κάποια σημεία, πετυχημένο χιούμορ σε κάποιους διαλόγους.
Ετοιμαστείτε να πεθάνετε αρκετές φορές (σώζετε τακτικά).
Πλούσια φαντασία του σεναριογράφου αλλά δύσκολοι γρίφοι (ειδικά το κεφάλαιο 7 το «έβγαλα» όλο με οδηγό).
Δεν μου άρεσε που είχε κάποιες «επιτηδευμένες πινελιές δυσκολίας» τις οποίες δεν περιμένεις και αναρωτιέσαι τι πρέπει να κάνεις.
Νομίζω ότι πρώτη φορά σε adventure κολλάω τόσο πολύ στο να προχωρήσω (με αρνητικό τρόπο) όταν το παιχνίδι σου προσφέρει τόσα λίγα items.

Alum reminds me of my impressions of The Chronicles of Narnia. When a teenager, I was quite excited about the series until I read some critics. Then my reaction was like, “What?! This wonderful lion, Aslan, is no more than old boring Jesus? Oh no!” However, Alum’s creators aren’t as subtle as C. S. Lewis; their approach is more like that of Superbook.
You play as a member of religiously driven anarcho-primitivist gang of those who use terror as a way to convince people and would destroy the city’s central heating system just to make people “think out of a box” and “understand things wider” (?!). The Rogations (that’s their name, but it probably should be The Rogues) blame their contemporaries (modern people) that they live in industrialized society and can no longer be guided by “faith” as it were in the Middle Ages; if so, Middle Ages should be returned artificially. Does it remind you some, so to say, not very good people (from the real world)?!
