Months after arriving on PlayStation 5, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach comes to PC with slight visual upgrades and a solid adaptation.

Its biggest drawback is its launch price, which is excessively high in some markets.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade remains one of the best games of its generation, and the Switch 2 port is highly competent, offering a great opportunity for those who haven’t played it yet or want to revisit the story of Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, and the fight to save the planet from Shinra and Sephiroth.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is probably the best remake/remaster of a classic game that Square Enix has made so far.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake blends classic elements with a few small conveniences to deliver the definitive version of two RPGs.

Resident Evil Requiem is easily one of the best games of 2026 and will certainly meet the immense expectations of fans, combining the best of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 Remake. I wish the game were a little bit longer, just to enjoy it a bit more, but that is really the only flaw I can find in it.

Saros is an evolution of Returnal in many ways, although it has abandoned the randomness of the previous game, which may disappoint some players.

It’s a pity that all the care dedicated to the visuals and battle system didn’t fully carry over to the adaptations just yet.
