Uploaded March 2022 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Since the release of Demon Souls in 2009, developers FromSoftware haven’t really changed up the formula much , and that’s absolutely fine.
Being the massive Souls fan that I am, I would buy any Soulsy title that these developers pump out, no questions asked.
But then the announcement for Elden Ring came. We were getting an open world style Souls game, with worldbuilding by Georg R.R. Martin. And that was it. That’s all it took to make Elden Ring my most anticipated game of the year. And I’m not the only one.
Yes, it’s a masterpiece. Yes, it will probably win GOTY, and yes, you should buy it….. Unless you’re not a fan of the genre. Watch this review to find out why!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the Ultimate JRPG. When you think about it, it really is. There is a complete focus on absolutely everything that makes the genre so great. Story, Characters, Exploration, world design, music, combat, growth mechanics. You name it, Xenoblade 3 goes all out. With such an incredible track record, I can’t deny that the Xeno series is up there with my favorite series of all time. Xenogears, Xenosaga, Xenoblade, they are all incredible JRPGs, in their own ways. If you’re a fan of JRPGs, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the reason why you’re a fan of JRPGs.

![Baldurs Gate 3 - Review [An RPG Masterpiece!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FzpRjZXBdpQ/mqdefault.jpg "Baldurs Gate 3 - Review [An RPG Masterpiece!]
Baldur’s gate 3! The hype for this one was huge. It has been 23 years since the last mainline Baldur’s gate title, which is obviously, a really long time for series fans to wait. The game did things a little bit differently in terms of its release. The first portion of the game was in Early Release for nearly three years, and this allowed Larian studios to make the best product possible. This decision, certainly paid off, because Baldur’s gate 3 full release is absolutely sensational, and I would be surprised if it doesn’t take out the 2023 RPG of the year award.
There is so much about this game that is completely ‘next level’, going far beyond what other games of the genre have done in the past. Baldurs ate 3 is new bar, not only for CRPGs, but also story focused, decision based video games in general.
• While the game is not for EVERYONE, I have a feeling that most of you, are going to fall in love with it, just like I did.
• Before we get into the review, if you liked this video, it would help me out a lot of hit that like button and sub for more RPG content coming soon. And, hit that superthanks if you would like to support the channel.

Final Fantasy 3! The one that got away. It took 31 years for the original FF3 to leave Japan. Last year, in the year 2021, was the FIRST time gamers outside of Japan were able to experience a version based on the original NES game.

![Metaphor ReFantazio - Review [JRPG of the year?]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HW_evTKnvRQ/mqdefault.jpg "Metaphor ReFantazio - Review [JRPG of the year?]
There has been massive hype this year surrounding Metaphor: Re-Fantazio.
This is the first title developed by Studio Zero, which is a subsidiary studio at Atlus, made up of key members of past Persona and Shin Megami Tensei
projects. While Metaphor Re-Fantazio is a brand new IP, it still feels a lot like it’s part of the Persona series, in its combat, social systems and time constraints. Essentially, the game is what you’d get if the Persona series graduated from high school, and entered a fantasy world, and I’m all for it!
And I’m not the only one, because the game sold over 1 million copies in its first day, which is insane.
It’s easy to see why though, as Metaphor is an incredibly solid turn-based JRPG experience, with many fans putting it in GOTY contention. Is it worthy of that claim? Watch this review and find out!

Top 100 JRPGs of all time! Number 90: Digital Devil Saga
The JRPG genre has been evolving for around 40 years now. It has seen its share of ups and downs, but right now, its arguably in the best place that it has ever been. Since the early 80s, we’ve seen the releases of 1000s of JRPGs, or JRPG style titles, from hundreds of different developers, but it goes without saying that not all of them are created equally.
This series is going to look at the very best JRPGs ever made, or at least, my favorite. This is my personal top 100 JRPGs of all time! I’m certain my top 100 will be different to yours, so let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Is something too high? Is something too low, what do you think? 💬

In 2016, Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness was released, and its reception was not so great. Most critics didn’t like it, and many fans were left disappointed, believing that it spelt the end for this long running JRPG series. Fortunately, this was not the case. In October of 2022, Star Ocean 6: The Divine Force was released. The series lived to see another day, and I was all for it.
Now, I’ve now played through the entire series, as part of my Star Ocean Sessions series, and wow, what a ride. The series has had its ups and downs, but I can, without hesitation, say that the Divine Force is up there with the best this series has to offer.

The Final Fantasy series has come a long way over the past 35 years, but the same can be said about Final Fantasy 1. This release provides the traditional FF1 experience, with a fresh coat of paint, which is important, since the outdated presentation and brutal mechanics of the original isn’t something too many modern games would choose to play.
This latest series of Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are just the perfect way to experience these classics, from arguably the most important JRPG series of all time.
