Depending on your level of patience, this can feel like an 8-bit Minecraft with a massive amount of steps or like typing using a controller on your PS4 forever. Unfortunately, it’s abundantly clear that RPG Maker MV was made for the PC when it comes to using the controller. Naturally, a tutorial that would teach everything RPG Maker MV has to offer would be hours long luckily, the game cut it short, making only the core concepts a necessary lesson. She’s asked you to take something to a neighbor, but there are small hiccups along the way that you’ll need to overcome, such as making an NPC walk. There’s graciously a tutorial right up front, but it’s gameified in such an adorable way where you perform mechanic-teaching tasks for your mother. RPG Maker MV is, perhaps unsurprisingly, charming from the word go.

With its deep customization options and massive library of items, the console version of RPG Maker MV is sure to excite those creative minds without a PC.

Touted as perhaps the most accessible program to make games, as creators don’t even really need to know coding to make their masterpieces come to life, RPG Maker MV originally received a 9/10 rating on Steam for its seemingly limitless options and ease of use. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m generally not drawn to sandbox games, and RPG Maker MV, a legitimate program and not a game, honestly requires you to have some sort of idea coming into it in the same way sandbox games demand boundless creativity. Originally released on PC back in 2015, the console versions have graced Switch and PS4 players can those who have played these critically acclaimed titles create their own on their PS4s?

That’s right - these titles that have all received 10/10 ratings on Steam (save for Corpse Party) were created with the famous franchise, with the eighth one, RPG Maker MV, being one of the highest rated of them all. These incredibly important indie games and more have one key component in common: RPG Maker. So easy to use, a (VERY patient) child could do it!
