    It's the best ever in the history of remastered games. Not only the graphical performance but also the gameplay as a whole feel like a 2019 game. The new Resident Evil 2 offers the existing fans a great opportunity to re-experience the classic horror and shows the best part of the series to the new generation of gamers.

    At the end of God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla, I saw that Santa Monica Studios knew exactly how to end the story - Kratos, the aging hero, needed to step out of the shadows of his past and face the future.

    The concept of Shadow of the Colossus is unique and full of charm. The remastered version on PS4 is remarkable, which means it is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to try it, no matter whether you are an existing fan or a new player. However, Fumito Ueda's works are always a little bit cult, so it is also understandable if you may not get into this game.

    Starfield is a masterpiece that unites the creativity and experience that Bethesda has built up over the years. Even after hundreds of hours of play, there is still fresh content waiting to be discovered. Just as TESV and Fallout 4 still have players making modules and discussing details, I believe that ten years from now, there will still be a large number of players who will be travelling in the universe created by Starfield.

    Ninja Gaiden 4 feels like a pivotal point between the old and the new eras. Much like its dual protagonists, it refuses to abandon the legacy of Ryu Hayabusa the heart of the series while introducing the more modern and versatile Yakumo to draw in new players. The result is a game that remains deeply engaging, offering a near-peak action combat system that rewards mastery and precision. Even its flaws and frustrations feel distinctly, unmistakably Ninja Gaiden.

    Playground Games brings together the very best of car culture within the beautifully realized setting of Tokyo, allowing players in Forza Horizon 6 to trace the evolution of Japanese automakers through machines that feel like rolling works of art, while also catching a glimpse of the future of JDM culture itself.

    Creative Assembly successfully combines Three Kingdoms with Total War, and using the brand-new Romance Mode, bringing us to that chaos times. For those who love Three Kingdoms or Total War series, this is no-doubt a must-try game.

    Gears 5 has a solid single-player campaign which is full of interesting ideas and a brand new PVE mode. It might be a breakthrough for the franchise if it keeps providing high-quality multiplayer content in the future.

    Street Fighter 6 simplifies its gameplay systems without losing depth. It allows players to perform moves with just one button, providing a sense of freedom. It also features a replayable single-player mode that will attract casual gamers new to fighting games.

    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a surprisingly polished title—arguably one of the best Soulslikes in recent years outside of FromSoftware’s own works. Leenzee has thoroughly deconstructed and internalized the core philosophy behind Soulsborne-style interconnected map design, crafting a world with its own distinctive take on the genre. The combat system, centered around the "Xuyu" mechanic, stands out for its unique identity, offering both approachability and a high skill ceiling, while delivering a distinct visual and mechanical flair compared to its peers. While the game occasionally suffers from overambition and balance missteps in its early to mid-stages, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers still delivers an irreplaceable and rewarding experience, making the dozens of hours invested feel both worthwhile and memorable.

    Dead Cells looks like a simple old-school 2D platformer, but the core gameplay is modern and smart. The combat is fast, the gameplay style is various, and every time I start a new round would enjoy a different journey. This is a game that could easily cost you hundred of hours.

    Catherine Full Body adds new story and game modes, making the game more fun to play. The cutscenes give us a story that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the sokoban parts are interesting too.

    The overall performance of Age of Empires IV is very steady, retaining some of the classic design of the series, but also adding some improvements that speed up the pace of the game. The new documentary cutscene is an excellent attempt, and the fully evolved sound and graphics performance makes the battlefield more immersive.

    Metroid Dread follows in the footsteps of the previous games very well. Some of the "retro" design does not necessarily fit the habits of today's players, but for the huge fans of the Metroid series, this is a masterpiece not to be missed.

    Modern games are all about the player experience, but Octopath Traveler 2 isn't. If you change your mindset and take the time to experience it, you can feel the magic that keeps people hooked despite its awkwardness. It's like a thick adventure book, with exciting content no matter when you open it, and once you close it, you won't miss it too much. Octopath Traveler 2 is indeed a game that chooses its players, and I am happy to go back and forth with it.

    Lost Judgment tells an exciting legal and political story while also giving players a return to the experience of their campus life. The great martial arts actions and the rich world design make this work a classic that is even better than its prequel.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana continues the series' steady forward stride, refining an already well-established design while introducing new systems that genuinely refresh the experience. It delivers a layer of novelty that sets it apart from previous entries, without losing the strategic depth that defines the franchise.

    Iceborne is the greatest expansion in the Monster Hunter series of all time. New areas, monsters, and hunting mechanics make the game so fun and I can't stop playing it.

    I am not a huge fan of bloody violence, but I am still attracted by MK11's beautiful art style, great graphics, interesting game systems, and tons of game modes, including a very detailed teaching mode. No doubt it is the best of the whole series.

    Obviously, Celeste is a wonderful game, with a strong storyline which you rarely see in platform games. Fantastic level design and puzzle settings give players a feeling of freshness from the beginning to the end, and the large number of levels makes this game worth the price.

    The traditional multiplayer offers the most classic and satisfying shooting experience. The maps of Zombies mode is greatly expanded. Black Out makes a great progress for battle-royale games in terms of battles. Though Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn't make much difference compared with its prequel or other battle-royale games, it's still the best shooting game on earth.

    Apex Legends is a unique battle royale game focuses on the battle. The gameplay is much faster and intenser compared with PUBG or Fortnite. The biggest problem, for now, is lacking in content, but I believe it will be better when new maps or new weapons come out.

    Infinity Ward brings back the iconic and the most anticipated single-player campaign and it looks as great as the old Modern Warfare series despite the mediocre ending. The multi-player part is as neat as usual but the spec ops is too difficult to continue.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has done well within its existing framework, improving on the original Cyberpunk 2077 in a number of ways. The main story is seamlessly integrated into Night City, while the side quests offer more variety and choice than the original. The 2.0 update has improved several systems, addressing some of the issues with the original mechanics, improving the gameplay and giving players a more satisfying experience.

    Slay the Spire 2 can easily feel like a massive DLC expansion, and the current balance is still a bit rough. Even so, the framework and content already on display almost surpass what the original achieved. [Early Access Score = 90]

    Grounded 2 doesn't stray far from its predecessor, and in the crowded survival-crafting genre, it struggles to stand out. Still, for fans of the series, it offers just enough to be worth a look. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    No Rest for the Wicked is a game that truly deserves the label 'promising'. There is no denying the exceptional quality of its art and the quality of its action gameplay, but the negative experience caused by errors in numerical balance and system design completely undermine the excellent impression left by its other aspects. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    You can sense the real potential and exceptional quality of Manor Lords, but what's more common is the disappointment of the lack of content. It has a unique medieval atmosphere, a first-person perspective that can immerse players, and a distinctive 'backyard economy' system that combines the fun of building supply chains and managing labour in the production process. While warfare isn't at the heart of Manor Lords, it's done quite well and evokes a sense of familiarity with the Total War series. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    Soulmask is a game that integrates different gameplay elements within the survival crafting genre, offering a refreshing experience for someone like me who has grown tired of traditional survival crafting games. While it shares the slow and complex nature of the genre, the help of NPC tribesmen and customisable settings allow players to quickly immerse themselves in an addictive survival and exploration loop. You can experience almost all the core pleasures of survival crafting in this game. The current content is already rich enough to support long-term play for Survival Crafting enthusiasts, surpassing many similar games that have been in Early Access for years.

    Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is a successful attempt to bring Heroes of Might & Magic back to its roots, capturing the core appeal fans have been waiting for while taking a strong first step in Early Access. Inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic III, it modernizes exploration, progression, city building, and combat without losing the strategic depth and lasting sense of fun that made the series so memorable.

    Star Rupture strikes a smart balance between the sense of order found in factory builders and the constant pressure typical of survival games. It delivers the satisfaction of long-term planning and optimization, watching production lines run smoothly on their own, while periodic solar eruptions, shifting ecological cycles, and the threat of hostile swarms introduce a steady rhythm of exploration and combat.

    Palworld isn't perfect or complete yet. But its many flaws don't take away from the fun and success it offers. It mixes different game genres, giving players a new experience unlike traditional games. Palworld is likely to be a game remembered in history. [Early Access Provisional Score = 81]

    When it comes to character creation, life simulation, building, and interactive storytelling, Inzoi delivers everything The Sims 4 has to offer. Unfortunately, beyond that, the current version struggles to carve out a unique identity or introduce any meaningful innovations. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    Enshrouded is an ambitious open-world survival game. Its large world and freedom make it fun to explore. It has cool features like voxel building that work really well. But too much repetitive travel and dull combat can be frustrating, which doesn't match its great overall design. [Early Access Provisional Score = 78]
