Western RPGs That Are Amazing (After A Rough Opening Few Hours)

The world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure focuses on the Joestar family for far too long. It is, after all, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so it makes sense that this titular adventure would follow Jonathan Joestar and his descendants. However, once you’ve caught up to Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable , you start to see that there’s more to the world of JoJo than just one family and a cursed bloodline. Josuke Higashikata , Part 4’s protagonist, starts to take a back seat while his pals and acquaintances step into a more central role. The growth of the initially shy Koichi Hirose into the confident and assertive young lad we see at the beginning of Part 5 is emblematic of that shift. Koichi is, arguably, more of a protagonist than Josuke ever was, with more of the traditional shounen story beats associated with him as opposed to the rest of the cast. This was where it became clear that the world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure deserved to be explored further, away from the Joestar family — and with Netflix’s Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan , we finally get just t

Every WRPG is their own entity and follows their own set of rules and some tend to have slower starts with tedious introductions as a result. While not every game can be a slam dunk from the beginning, some find their groove as the story progresses and the gameplay tight

The first sections of the game are pretty basic as far a WRPG shooters go with introducing the gameplay and characters, but it is still a bore and tends to drag for the first few hours. After a few more areas of the map open up and cooler guns unlock, the game starts to look more like the Borderlands fans have come to know and l

Bluepoint Games is the studio behind what is arguably the PlayStation 5’s crown jewel at launch, the highly-rated Demon’s Souls remake. Bluepoint has made a name for itself as one of the best studios when it comes to remastering and remaking games, having done so in the past with a number of other PlayStation titles. One of Bluepoint’s most-celebrated works is the Shadow of the Colossus remake, breathing new life into the PS2 classic by dramatically improving the visuals. Shadow of the Colossus has been given away as a free PS Plus game in the past, but for those that missed out on the opportunity, it would be nice to see it added to the PS Plus Collection on PS5 as w

The Rising Sun weighs in with a damage characteristic of 61, which again, is slightly worse than its master-tier cleaver counterpart making it a decent early-to-mid game option. This axe should be acquired if the player plans on becoming a true hero of Albion, although its augmentation, Righteous Violence, is quite niche and only works against a handful of truly evil enem

The Daichi’s augmentations enable its user to deal additional damage while imbuing attacks with electrical currents, not to mention, it also makes its user irresistibly beautiful. It is absolutely worth the dungeon crawl to acquire the Daichi and its damage cannot be effectively replicated by any other combination of weapons and augme

This selfish man sitting in the confessional booth is here not because he truly feels guilty, or sad, but because he wishes to escape the fate he has created for himself. He felt no empathy for the homeless man he swiftly worked to death, and he never thought twice about the servants he had in his charge. In fact, he didn’t even seem to care for his wife much; he just wanted a supermodel, because men are supposed to want these things. This man is the epitome of desire, using any means necessary to get what he wants, or what he should want — and the means here was c

While some legendary weapons are better than others, the ones listed here will ensure that the path towards becoming the most legendary hero Albion has ever witnessed will be met by the fiercest of steel or blanketed by a shroud of the deadliest arrows and bull

The first playthrough is always magical, but the subsequent playthroughs can be a real drag, especially in the first areas of the game. The initial quests are fun, but pale in comparison to what comes after the first few ho

The B.O.S.S. is an optional challenge that Team Snakemouth can take on in the Bee Kingdom. Players can replay any boss they previously fought, but the real challenge lies in completing the full boss rush or mini-boss r

The Wretcher’s Blade contains the same augment as the Maelstrom, meaning increased damage is done to lawful doers such as townsfolk and city guard. The biggest benefit of the Wretcher’s Blade is that is can be acquired almost instantly after farming some gold as a blacksmith in Bowerstone and taking the submarine to Knothole Isl

The Stand throws the bag of popcorn at the man and tells him; «You can see your destiny through a trivial, little thing.» The task is trivial, yes, but the stakes are high, and the popcorn is emblematic of everything this man is. He’s a corn magnate — as ridiculous as that is — and this symbol of his success is also the harbinger of his undoing. It feels to me like a postmodern Aesopica — Aesop’s Fables — and the untimely undoing of once humble, but often selfish characters within. When a goose lays golden eggs the owners slice it open in search of gold surely hidden inside, Hideo Kojima only to find nothing. This unrivalled greed has always been an undeniable sin, but it takes on a different flavour when under capital
