    This is a charming game that receives a well-deserved remaster, not just visually but also in gameplay and new additions that enhance the original experience. For those looking for a challenging JRPG with unique characters and a demanding combat system, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is the right choice.

    This is another necessary port for PC Gamers, the large number of levels and hours of entertainment are the strong point here. Unfortunately we will need a powerful GPU to get the most out of it visually, which at the same time is unnecessary. The gaming experience with the DualSense on PC is out of this world.

    Days Gone Remastered is a great example of how some games deserve a second chance. With improved graphics, new accessibility options, and additional game modes, it delivers the definitive experience. While the upgrades are notable, it’s still a good choice for those who haven’t played it yet or want to give it another shot.

    Throne and Liberty meets expectations by combining aspects from other games with its own special style. It's unique because we get to create a character with any class to play as we like. From level 1 to 30, the experience is excellent but the "End Game" stuff promise something good but we never know. On the other hand the learning curve can be overwhelming, but NCSoft has achieved something positive, and i hope that players will adapt to this game or we will stop hearing about it in 2 weeks.

    Forza Horizon 6 is fun and well-optimized. It is the perfect escape to explore and unwind from other games, but Playground Games played it safe, as it lacked that major graphical leap we saw from Forza Horizon 4 to 5 to fully take advantage of current platforms. It is very entertaining with plenty of content, but it leaves the feeling that it could have delivered a much more impactful experience in Japan with all those new activities and stunning scenery.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is what you can expect from a remake that rescues a gem of traditional psychological horror. As a representative of the genre, it keeps the player in constant tension through both its unsettling soundtrack and the grim atmosphere of a rural Japanese village. Its dark plot and the ability to guide the protagonist's sister carry a deep emotional component. Although it is locked at 30fps, it graphically improves all its aspects with great results.

    Nioh 3 refines its formula with a dual combat style system—Samurai and Ninja—that adds a new strategic layer while improving upon established mechanics. The action shifts to 'Open Fields,' offering larger maps packed with activities. Ultimately, it is an improved experience, though its steep difficulty remains a high barrier for newcomers.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a step forward in the evolution of the Musou genre, which had become somewhat stagnant. Greater emphasis is placed on storytelling and character interactions, though the protagonist feels rather bland. Gameplay-wise, it introduces tactical RPG elements to refresh the formula and delivers more dynamic and visually engaging combat. While there is room for improvement, it is highly enjoyable.

    Persona 3 Reload is a remake that fits surprisingly well on the Switch 2. It’s a solid choice for owners of the console and longtime Atlus fans. While most of its visual quality is intact, the framerate is locked at 30fps in both modes — a strange decision that’s sure to spark debate. Aside from that, it’s a strong port overall but fans will definitely miss the Episode Aegis expansion.

    Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds doesn’t reinvent the wheel for the genre, but it puts its own spin on things with dimension-hopping tracks and deep customization for both vehicles and abilities. There’s plenty of content to enjoy, especially with friends, and the charming cast pulls from both Sonic and other Sega franchises. It sticks to what works, but it does so well enough to make it highly recommended.

    Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is the perfect example of how to properly bring two timeless classics back to life. With modernized mechanics, a beautifully reorchestrated soundtrack, and a stunning visual style that pays homage to old-school JRPGs, it’s a faithful yet fresh experience. While the stories still reflect the era they were born in, the new additions make this remake an absolute must-buy for fans of the genre.

    Grounded proposes to be a survival title with an interesting twist, being set in a miniature world in the backyard of a house. It is a more accessible game than others in the genre on a vast hostile map, although with some design problems. It's good to start if we want to venture into this type of games and even more so now on PS5.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii takes the franchise into new waters, putting players in command of a pirate ship and crew, blending beat 'em up action with naval combat. It retains the signature mature and irreverent style that fans love. While it feels somewhat toned down, possibly due to being a spin-off, it still offers an entertaining experience.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a compilation that we haven't received in a long time. Highly recommended for fans of the old school and those neophytes who want to know these games. The gallery mode will keep you hours reviewing material never seen before.

    Crisis Core Reunion is one of the few remasters that really takes advantage of the new work that has been put into it. It is not only a new work at the graphic level, but also at the playable level and improvements in the quality of life of the game. It is still an old game but it can be given a chance thanks to its enhancements.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice is a faithful adaptation of the source material that plays it safe within the fighting genre. It delivers exciting gameplay, a decent character roster, and a semi-open world mode—with all that entails. However, given some issues regarding story pacing and fighter balance, it remains to be seen how well it will hold up over time.

    Yakuza Kiwami for Nintendo Switch 2 has been updated so fans can enjoy one of its best versions yet. The game runs smoothly in both handheld and docked modes, delivering one of the finest action experiences in the genre. While there’s still room for improvement, the ability to play it on the go gives it an extra edge that makes it even more enjoyable.

    Atlus brings us back a JRPG classic like Persona 3 Reload with new improvements and amazing graphics. It is essentially the same story, some plots are adapted with better character development and changes here and there. The gameplay that was introduced in Persona 5 is back and works very well. It is a much more dynamic game than the original 2006 title and just as entertaining.

    Tales of Xillia is a well-deserved remaster that brings back one of the most beloved action RPGs of its time, now with substantial upgrades. Despite a few minor areas that could use improvement and a noticeable touch of AI implementation, it remains an engaging experience that keeps players hooked right up to the final credits.

    Splatoon 3 is the definitive title of the series since it improves remarkably in comparison to its predecessors. It feels somewhat continuous but manages to keep some things dynamic with its improved gameplay. It is a game that everyone can play in co-op mode without the need to know the previous games.

    Tales of Symphonia Remastered remains one of the best titles in the "Tales of" series to this day. Although the passing of the years hasn't forgiven it, it's still a game with a story full of interesting twists and a good battle system. As a remaster it is only limited to the graphical facelift, but it is forgiven for what it offers by itself.

    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a classic game, considered one of the best RPGs of all time. It improves on its predecessor in many aspects, although its graphics have aged a lot. It will hook you with its plot and the decisions that we can make.

    Don't let its silly appearance fool you, but Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a game that offers a lot. Unlike other strategy games, this one offers more freedom in combat. The scenarios were further expanded and some of their mechanics were improved. You can give it a try even if it doesn't have a multiplayer mode.

The remaster includes several enhancements, such as improved frame rates, adjustments for HD screens, and practical tweaks. For those who didn’t get a chance to play it before, this is an excellent opportunity.

    Despite its charming chibi aesthetic, Echoes of Wisdom is the best version of The Legend of Zelda yet. Despite some changes in the mechanics, I think Nintendo's first adventure turned out very well. We must recognize it for what it is: a game in which we had to replace our beloved Link.

    Mastering curves and gravity in Redout 2 is quite a challenge on its futuristic tracks. The game has a fairly decent level of customization and hundreds of challenges. It can be played online but it does not have local multiplayer.

    WWE 2K23 feels pretty good with at least the two modes available to try. Slingshot technology makes the experience totally different. WarGames mode gives the game quite a fresh air where players can enjoy the challenges either single player or multiplayer. The graphics have been improved compared to the previous ones and we finally have a good optimization, better times when loading the screen without leaving aside an improved mechanic that makes us enjoy every wrestler.
