    Mario Tennis Aces
    Mario Tennis Aces is a thrillingly magic tennis game which feels like a combat game because of the energy gauge management and K.O. rule. Its features are easy to learn but hard to master, and it's friendly to both newcomers and experienced players. What's more, it's extremely fun when you play with friends. The biggest issue of the game is that it's lacking in the variety of multiplayer gameplay while the Online Tournament is the only valuable multiplayer mode. What's more, the competition might be too intense for newcomers.

    Total War: Three Kingdoms - Mandate of Heaven
    For the first time, there is a game that focus on a special time before the three kingdoms, it's another forgettable yet crucial history. This DLC reveals the falling of Han dynasty for whoever interested in digging deep in the history.

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection - Halo 3: ODST
    Compared with the elite Spartan, although the adventures written by ODST in mortal bodies are a bit less legendary, there are more human emotions that players can resonate in the game.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem
    A Plague Tale: Requiem tells a thrilling and bizarre tale of a plague through bold performances and stunning scenes. But its lack of important gameplay such as combat and puzzle solving, the work has not reached a higher level in my mind.

    Avowed
    Avowed is a solid title, though its appearance leans towards the conventional. It doesn't introduce particularly innovative mechanics or standout concepts, but it consistently delivers quality gameplay across all aspects-story, combat, and exploration-ranging from decent to excellent, without any major flaws. If you're a fan of traditional sword-and-magic (with a hint of firearms) settings, immersive storytelling, and the freedom to shape your own destiny, particularly in the style of Obsidian's atmospheric narratives, Avowed is definitely worth a look.

    INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road
    INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road benefits enormously from its abundance of modes and sheer volume of content, and the unfinished pieces still in progress even add a sense of future promise. But each mode shows its cracks once you spend enough time with it, and the core mechanics may not have the depth needed to keep players engaged after dozens of hours.

    Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
    Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a fantastic remastered game that's greatly enhanced in terms of graphics, UI, and gameplay.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes another step forward on its unique path. It can be seen as an enhanced version of the original, with many of its life-simulation designs still providing a strong sense of immersion. The game offers plenty of freedom, allowing you to approach tasks in different ways. The swordplay system remains the main source of enjoyment throughout the game. However, the lack of clear direction in many quests, combined with some frustrating design choices, can be a challenge for players trying to get into the game and truly appreciate it.

    The Banner Saga 3
    In a despairing atmosphere, the story of The Banner Saga finally meets its end. Your choice matters, and every move of the battle matters, so choose carefully. It has some issues in some ways, but overall, The Banner Saga has become an important part of the SLG family, with its very unique art style and strategy design.

    Ghost of Tsushima
    The beautiful sightseeing, intense samurai combat, and fascinating side-missions of Ghost of Tsushima are appealing for me. But the dull and repetitive open-world makes the exploration experience boring.

    Fate Seeker II
    With rich content, exquisite details and a unique detective theme, Fate seeker 2 creates a back-to-basics experience. In the game, you can experience the high degree of freedom of old martial arts games, feel the immersive experience through the large amount of quests and interactive elements in CRPGs, and become a detective in the investigation and questioning sessions.

    FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE
    Once you've played Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake, it becomes clear why the original is still regarded as the series' finest entry. After receiving modern updates, this already classic story reaches new heights in atmosphere and immersion, while the multiple playthrough and multiple ending structure, combined with the chapter select feature, allows players to gain a deeper understanding of the narrative with as little repetition as possible.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    For fans of Japanese RPGs, the changes and trade offs in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection are largely welcome. Its combat and progression systems offer impressive depth and strategy, making the moment you finally overcome a powerful enemy feel especially rewarding. At the same time, its fairly straightforward story and solid world exploration keep the experience relaxed and enjoyable as you go about stealing eggs and completing quests.

    Moncage
    Moncage tells an unforgettable story with creative "optical illusion" splicing and artistic narrative. In the exquisitely designed world of cubes, the change of color tone and angle adds a lot of fancy to the splicing. Instead of using words, the game lets the narrative do its work with the layout of the scene, the interaction of objects and the photos scattered in the corners. When players are getting closer to the truth, they will find that the gameplay has been further expanded, and the final true ending is even more impressive.

    Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
    Whether you like it or not, Ace Combat 7 is the only choice you have if you want to play an air-battle game these years. And frankly speaking, it does a good job, although some shortcomings should have been avoided.

    Fate Seeker II
    While Fate Seeker stayed on a steady course within the traditional wuxia open-world genre, Fate Seeker 2 undoubtedly takes a more unconventional approach. The smooth 4K graphics on PS5 and a more immersive gameplay atmosphere provide an opportunity to rediscover Fate Seeker 2. After all, in recent years, it might be considered one of the best wuxia games out there.

    Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key
    Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the pinnacle of the series and possibly one of the best Atelier games ever made. Its revolutionary open-world changes not only greatly improve the core gameplay experience, but also fill in the previously empty spaces of the game. The alchemy system in this game has also gained greater freedom due to the open world and key system. If you are a veteran of the series, you can easily skip the early game tutorial. New players can also gradually experience the joy of progressing and becoming stronger through the alchemy process.

    The Medium
    The Medium is one of the best quality horror games in recent years. This game learns many essences of "Silent Hill", and tells a suspenseful story with its own pace.

    Lords of the Fallen
    Lords of the Fallen is probably the closest game to the Dark Souls series. Its unique world-switching mechanic, resurrection upon death, and bonfire-building features show the development team's deep understanding of Souls game design.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma might just mark a fresh new beginning for the series. While it doesn't break much new ground, it approaches farming, building, management, and romance with genuine care and delivers each of them as well as it possibly can.

    Persona 3 Reload
    For JRPG fans, Persona 3 Reload is a great way to start the year. It has more independent episodes in the story than the original and uses more cinematic scenes with lots of CGs. The new daily activities on the artificial island and other improvements make the 70-80 hours of school life more enjoyable and well thought out. Although the Tartarus dungeon is much better than before, it is still too close to the original game, which means that its repetitive nature remains.

    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is remarkably hard to fault, to the point where it feels like a blueprint for what a modern Dragon Quest should be. The story has been significantly streamlined, with many narrative beats rewritten more coherently, allowing an already solid tale to feel refreshed. Meanwhile, its combat and world exploration benefit from extensive quality-of-life improvements, adding a wealth of convenient features that make the overall experience notably comfortable to play.

    Eastward
    Excellent pixel art, profound plot and deep story background, as well as the complementation of puzzle solving and combat, make Eastward an excellent work worth experiencing.

    Kingdom Hearts III
    There is no doubt that Kingdom Hearts III will make long term fans moved or even cry. As for those new to the franchise, I believe they also can be satisfied because of tons of classic Disney elements and solid combat system, even though they could barely understand the main story.

    Tales of Arise
    Tales of Arise achieved steady progress under the traditional JRPG framework. With a solid plot and refreshing battle, a very good JRPG experience has been created for players. Although the overall quality is very high, the game still has some problems in character creation and story logic, which prevents it from reaching the peak of the JRPG category.

    Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian
    Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian follows the series’ established path while refining systems that were already well-received in past entries. Its combat and alchemy are among the stronger aspects of the series, and though exploration feels fairly standard, details like the tracking function noticeably improve the experience. For longtime fans, the chance to reunite with many familiar faces may be its greatest strength.

    Slay the Spire 2
    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
    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
    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.

    Manor Lords
    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
    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 and Magic: Olden Era
    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.

    StarRupture
    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
    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]

    inZOI
    When it comes to character creation, life simulation, building, and interactive storytelling, Inzoi delivers everything The Sims 4 has to offer.

    Enshrouded
    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]
