A ten for one of the best games in history. An eight and a half scoring only what this game is supposed to be as a remake of The Last of Us released 10 years ago. If it is your first approach to the saga, getting to this game directly on PS5 should be a unique experience. If you arrive from PS3 without having played the remastering you will notice a good jump. But if you come from PS4 and, especially from PS4 Pro, the change is not going to be so exaggerated.

Fun, challenging, and varied. This is how I would define WarioWare: Get It Together!, Nintendo's new title for the hybrid console.

The camera works, the combat is fluid and brutal, Yakumo is a competent protagonist who doesn't pale in comparison to Ryu, and the technical aspects are up to par. It has some flaws, of course. The on-rails sections become repetitive, the difficulty can be frustrating instead of challenging at certain moments, and the amount of techniques is overwhelming at first. But these are minor complaints in the overall context.
