    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    A plausible recipe, regrettable ingredient, and miscooking. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League does, in fact, offer attractive gameplay and storytelling. However, an obsession with the directionless open world and adherence to the legacy of the Arkham series are the elements that ultimately ruined the game.

    The War of Genesis: Remnants of Gray
    A game that will evoke the memories of 90s Korean gamers. The graphics, level design, and style may feel outdated or generic compared to current SRPGs, but it successfully captures the essence of the original storyline and settings. The key elements that fans will find cathartic are well implemented.

    Against the Storm
    A game that breaks the stereotype of having to perfect city construction. With a high-quality blend of simulation and roguelite elements, it feels like enjoying a single-player game campaign. Constructing cities in various ways each time and achieving goals provide a sense of accomplishment.

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
    The remarkable visuals, which have been the primary factor contributing to the success of the Avatar series, are also evident in the game. However, the game's visibility is among the lowest, and the overall gaming system doesn't appear to be particularly outstanding. The potential is high, but it doesn't seem to deliver the expected level of performance.

    Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
    The attempt to make significant changes from the previous title was successful. Visual and system upgrades transformed it into a rewarding fighting game, bringing a new vitality. While efforts were made to enhance the tutorial and controls, it's regrettable that they did not integrate well with the story.

    Roboquest
    Roboquest shows exceptional craftsmanship among high-speed shooter and roguelite genre games. While Easily enjoyable for anyone, the game is providing additional fun by adding depth to repetitive gameplay with various systems. However, the lack of unique and inventive fun exclusive to this game is somewhat disappointing.

    Super Mario RPG
    A game that faithfully reproduces the emotions and sentiment of the original released on the Super Famicom. For old fans, it is a source of great excitement. However, there is a slight sense of regret due to its close-to-remaster approach, leaving some longing for a more comprehensive remake tailored for old fans.

    Persona 5 Tactica
    Persona 5 Tactica is an SRPG that shines with adorable art, excellent music, and dazzling creativities. However, somewhat easy gameplay and shallow strategic depth fail to provide players with the engaging challenge they might be seeking. It could be a great experience for the fans of the Phantom Thieves but may not be as appealing to those of the SRPG genre.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    In granting players a bit of freedom, the campaign of this latest title has lost too much in return—perhaps even the reputation it had built up until now and the potential for the future. Fortunately, the refreshing zombie mode managed to somewhat heal the disappointment.

    SANABI
    A unique title depicting cyberpunk in a Korean style. Utilizing chain arms for wire action, which is not easily found in other 2D platformer games, and featuring a touching story that concludes in a single episode make it stand out. However, it's somewhat disappointing that the combat becomes more monotonous as the game progresses.

    Star Ocean: The Second Story R
    Star Ocean: The Second Story R splendidly decorates the sentiments of JRPGs from the '90s and '00s with a modern touch. The game boasts a compelling story, excellent music, and outstanding character design, with numerous party members and exploration elements adding depth to the game.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder
    Super Mario Wonder successfully elevated the already high standard of the side-scrolling platformer even further. The stage transformations brought by the Wonder Flowers are unpredictable, and consistently bring a smile to the player's face.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage
    The franchise's next installment arrives at a crucial point where it needs to pave a new path after the myth-based trilogy. While it successfully combines various systems from its predecessors, somehow the game seems remained at an ordinary level as its lack of new, interesting experiences.

    DAVE THE DIVER
    You can simply dive into the game wherever, especially away from your stuffy computer. And that, is already enough reason for purchasing NSW version of 'Dave the Diver'. Every contents have seamlessly adapted for the portable device, deliver same feel as they were originally meant to be.

    Alan Wake II
    Remedy's trademark intricate narrative has evolved even further, combining with survival horror-style action to deliver a more immersive experience than ever before. In particular, the expanded lore developed over the past 13 years adds a unique appeal. However, issues with subtitles and bugs seem to be promptly addressed post-launch, and I have high hopes for improvements in this regard.

    Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2
    While there are a few disappointing aspects as a character-based game, the concept of 'choice' with branching endings, challenging combat, and character relationships, coupled with the bleak world, makes it highly appealing and immersive. It's undeniably a gem worth not dismissing as 'just another furry-game' despite some shortcomings.

    Endless Dungeon
    If you want to enjoy the strategic aspects of tower-defense and the exhilaration of top-down shooter at the same time, Endless Dungeon would be the ultimate choice. However, it's also possible to be disappointed by some aspects that make you feel the depth of entire gameplay a bit shallow.

    Payday 3
    It has received high expectations from many fans, but it falls far short of surpassing the previous game that was created over the course of 10 years. Irrational matchmaking, lackluster content, and a UI that is unmatched in its inconvenience all raise concerns about the future of the Payday series itself.

    Trombone Champ
    An unconventional rhythm game that stands out from the ordinary. In 'Trombone Champ,' where you can discover hidden content by collecting various tokens through your performance.

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2
    If you can thought the previous games were 'Amazing', then you will most likely call this Spider-Man2 'Spectacular'. It is armed with unique elements while brilliantly continuing the systems from previous titles, thereby elevating its quality as an action game. What's more, its cinematic narrative is so immersive that it leaves you anticipating the next installment immediately after you reach the ending.
