Life is Strange: Reunion takes a bold step by bringing Max and Chloe back together in a story that fully embraces the series’ legacy while delivering an emotionally grounded conclusion to their journey. With a more engaging narrative than its predecessor and a central relationship that carries the experience, the game hits where it matters most, even while struggling with technical issues and uneven side arcs. It’s not flawless, but it’s exactly the kind of return longtime fans were hoping for.

A faithful remake that preserves the essence of a horror classic, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly delivers a haunting atmosphere, strong psychological tension, and improved visuals and audio. However, its slow pacing, repetitive combat, and dated mechanics may not appeal to all players, especially those seeking a more dynamic experience.

A masterfully crafted roguelite, Hades II builds on its predecessor with refined combat, a compelling new protagonist, and an addictive gameplay loop that constantly rewards progression. While its narrative occasionally feels familiar, the game excels in pacing, variety, and presentation, standing out as one of the strongest entries in the genre.

A vast and immersive space adventure, Starfield offers strong exploration, solid gunplay, and a compelling sense of discovery on PS5, enhanced by meaningful improvements and added content. However, it is held back by repetitive side missions, limited enemy AI, and RPG systems that lack deeper refinement, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

An ambitious and content-rich open-world adventure, Crimson Desert stands out for its freedom, deep exploration, and dozens of hours of gameplay, but suffers from a weak narrative, underdeveloped characters, and inconsistencies in some mechanics and technical aspects.

Pragmata blends third-person shooting with a real-time hacking system that runs alongside combat, creating a solid and engaging gameplay loop. Enemy variety and boss fights stand out, while visuals are strong in Quality mode but less consistent in Performance. The story has an interesting premise but suffers from rushed pacing. In the end, the gameplay is the clear highlight.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition celebrates the classic platformer with a collection that brings together five versions of the original Rayman alongside extras focused on preserving the franchise’s history, including an interactive museum and a playable prototype. While it offers an interesting look behind the scenes of the game’s development, the package feels limited due to the lack of variety, as each version delivers nearly the same experience. The gameplay retains the challenging feel of its era, with rigid controls, though modern features like rewind help soften the difficulty. Overall, it works better as a historical celebration for fans than as a content-rich collection.

Sons of Sparta is an interesting attempt to adapt God of War into a 2D metroidvania-inspired format. The interconnected exploration of Laconia works well, and the relationship between Kratos and Deimos adds value to the narrative, revisiting the protagonist’s youth. However, inconsistent combat, predictable progression, and some polish issues prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Still, as a complementary chapter in Kratos’ story, it offers a curious perspective on his past.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando delivers a solid cooperative shooter, featuring consistent gunplay, class-based progression and an engaging skill tree that encourages different strategies between runs. Its open mission structure creates meaningful risk-reward decisions, while defense segments against large hordes keep the combat intense. Despite repetitive mission design, limited enemy variety and technically simple visuals, the game compensates with a steady pace, a strong soundtrack by John Carpenter and a cooperative experience that shines when played with friends.

Resident Evil Requiem stands out for its precise balance between survival horror and action, blending tension and combat with remarkable cohesion. Backed by a compelling narrative that dives deep into Umbrella’s origins, the game expands the franchise’s legacy with confidence. Grace delivers a strong and memorable debut, while Leon returns sharper than ever, reaffirming his place as one of the series’ most iconic heroes.

High On Life 2 delivers fast-paced FPS action wrapped in irreverent sci-fi comedy, with talking weapons, sharp satire, and a surprisingly fluid skate traversal system that keeps combat dynamic and stylish. The sequel expands on the original’s personality and creativity, offering vibrant visuals and memorable characters. However, performance issues on PlayStation 5, including frame rate drops and low internal resolution, hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Avowed is an RPG adventure that, surprisingly, manages to appeal to different types of players. It works for those who value charismatic characters and meaningful interactions, for those looking for intense combat filled with magic and build variety, and also for anyone who enjoys spending hours immersed in a richly crafted world. Precisely because it tries to embrace so much, it can feel somewhat superficial in certain aspects. Even so, it delivers a solid, engaging, and fun journey, carrying the level of quality you would expect from an experienced studio like Obsidian.

Reanimal goes far beyond being just an inspiration from The Little Nightmares. Developed by Tarsier Studios, the project shows a clear sense of identity and the confidence to explore new ideas. Instead of simply repeating mechanics that worked in the past, the studio expands its formula by introducing combat and building a brand new universe with its own tone and personality. The result is an experience that respects its roots while carving out a distinct path, with enough strength and originality to stand on its own and potentially grow into a franchise just as memorable as the one that inspired it.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is, above all, a celebration of what the series does best. The package strikes a smart balance between nostalgia and modernization, revisiting a key chapter in Kazuma Kiryu’s journey while expanding the universe with an original story that adds depth to one of the franchise’s most compelling antagonists. It’s not a revolutionary game, but it is a very welcome refinement of a formula that still works.

Nioh 3 proves that sequels can still bring fresh ideas to an established franchise. By introducing more open regions and meaningful side activities, the new soulslike retains the strengths of its predecessors while addressing their shortcomings. The result is a well-crafted narrative, unforgettable boss battles, and a wealth of content, all supported by a progression system that feels inviting to both newcomers and longtime fans.

Code Vein 2 expands on the ideas of the first game with more content, a stronger focus on dual combat, and a narrative built around multiple timelines. The story’s core concept is interesting, though characters and dialogue struggle to create emotional engagement. Combat remains methodical and strategic, working well in cooperative play and offering a good variety of builds, even if few boss fights stand out as truly memorable. Exploration is open and functional, but provides limited incentives beyond basic progression. Confusing interfaces, recurring technical issues, and visuals below expectations for the current generation hurt the overall experience. Overall, it is an above-average game that will please fans of the original Code Vein, but it fails to stand out in a competitive year due to its reliance on safe, unambitious formulas.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 tries to innovate with a co-op open world campaign and psychological elements but fails in almost every narrative aspect. The story is disjointed, relying heavily on hallucinations and aimless twists that disrespect the franchise’s legacy. The multiplayer is more solid, bringing some welcome improvements over BO6, with good maps and the return of fan-favorite mechanics. Zombies mode also stands out, offering a robust and fun experience. Still, it feels like an annual release that could have been just an expansion, especially with a weak campaign, aggressive monetization, and a lack of truly new content.

A.I.L.A is the new project from Pulsatrix Studios, creators of Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel, and marks a creative leap for the Brazilian studio. Blending psychological horror, sci-fi, and interactive storytelling, the game puts players in the role of Samuel, a beta tester trapped in simulations created by an AI. The experiences range from supernatural adventures to medieval settings, all while maintaining narrative cohesion. Highlights include the immersive sound design, well-crafted puzzles, and challenging boss battles.

With solid gameplay, intense combat, and strategic risk-reward decisions, ARC Raiders delivers an engaging experience whether playing solo or in a squad. While the narrative is shallow and the item management system needs refinement, the world-building, art direction, and soundtrack greatly enhance immersion. Each match offers high tension and memorable moments, making ARC Raiders one of the standout multiplayer titles of the year.

Little Nightmares 3 preserves the franchise’s eerie atmosphere and strong visual identity, delivering tense chase sequences and well‑designed cooperative puzzles. However, the lack of local co‑op, unstable matchmaking, and a growing sense of repetition hold the experience back. Its cinematic direction and detailed environments are impressive, though depth perception issues often impact platforming. It’s a solid entry, but one that falls short of bringing meaningful innovation to the series.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a loving tribute to the franchise’s classic era, bundling 11 nostalgic titles alongside a surprisingly rich interactive documentary. The historical context, visual archive, and new features like online play and fatality training elevate the package as a preservation effort. Unfortunately, input lag and online instability weaken the gameplay experience, especially in a genre where precision is everything. It’s a meaningful collection for fans and historians, but its technical issues hold it back from being a flawless victory.

Just Dance 2026 stays true to the series’ strengths: quick fun, a lively pop playlist, and improved motion-tracking that finally removes the need to hold your phone. The base tracklist is strong and varied, making it great for parties. Its weaknesses are familiar: little innovation, choreography aimed mostly at casual players, and the continued reliance on a subscription for more songs. Even so, it remains a joyful, accessible party game that delivers exactly the kind of easygoing fun fans expect.

Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland delivers an emotional and creative adventure driven by a heartfelt story about purpose, language, and grief. Its charming pixel art, engaging soundtrack, and surprisingly strong voice acting create a memorable atmosphere from start to finish. The downside lies in its very simple gameplay loop, focused mainly on walking, collecting words, and completing basic interactions, leaving a sense that deeper puzzles or mechanics could have enriched the experience. Even so, it remains a touching, humorous, and unique journey that stands out more for its heart than for the complexity of its systems.

Ninja Gaiden 4 doubles down on uncensored gore and a difficulty curve that punishes without pushing players away. Its campaign picks up where the previous entries left off, bringing back familiar faces while introducing new ones. PlatinumGames delivers a visceral hack-and-slash experience that works both for newcomers and for veterans who already understand the franchise’s punishing pace.

Absolum blends roguelike and beat’em up with charm and style. Addictive gameplay, layered combat, and gorgeous hand-drawn visuals shine, despite minor input and hitbox issues. With a standout soundtrack and local/online multiplayer, it's one of 2025’s indie highlights and hard to put down.

Borderlands 4 modernizes its formula with seamless zones, tight gunplay, and great co-op features. Sidequests and characters shine, but technical issues, UI annoyances, and a forgettable main villain hold it back. It’s fun, loud, and promising—just not the full evolution yet.

Dying Light: The Beast brings back the series' roots with a brutal, more focused adventure led by Kyle Crane. Parkour remains sharp, melee combat is weighty and satisfying, and the open world offers tense moments, especially at night. While the progression system feels recycled and some fights get repetitive, the experience is technically solid. A strong return for fans, though its price may be a barrier.

Battlefield 6 marks a triumphant return for the franchise, reviving large-scale destruction, tight teamplay, and intense firefights. The campaign serves as a cinematic tutorial but lacks emotional weight. Multiplayer is where the game shines, featuring well-designed maps, a balanced class system, and top-tier gunplay. With strong performance, impressive visuals, and a promising live-service roadmap, Battlefield 6 stands as the best entry in the series since BF4.

NBA 2K26 is the best entry in the franchise in years, delivering more realistic gameplay, well-structured modes, and a broadcast-level presentation. The new motion engine rewards skill and court awareness, while MyCareer, MyTeam, and MyNBA offer depth and variety. Its biggest flaw remains the aggressive monetization, with heavy reliance on Virtual Currency for progression. Still, for those seeking a technical and immersive basketball experience, there’s a lot to enjoy.

Midnight Murder Club embraces chaos with a creative and atmospheric concept: dark, trap-filled matches where light, sound, and improvisation decide who survives. The tension-filled gameplay, clever sound design, and proximity chat create unique, often hilarious moments—especially when played with friends. The guest pass system and affordable price make it easy to share the experience. However, the game struggles with long-term appeal. A single map, unbalanced game modes, and unreliable matchmaking limit its reach and replayability. Without friends, finding matches is difficult, and the lack of content quickly leads to repetition.

NHL 26 delivers the most refined hockey experience in the series to date, featuring technical gameplay, engaging modes, and top-tier presentation. The new ICE-Q 2.0 engine enhances realism across the board, while Be a Pro offers an immersive narrative journey and Ultimate Team introduces new strategic layers. It’s not the most accessible title at first, but it rewards dedication. Combining authenticity, depth, and intensity, NHL 26 stands out as one of the most complete sports simulations of the season.

Madden NFL 26 is the most solid entry in the franchise in years, delivering a TV-style presentation, more authentic gameplay, and a Franchise Mode that finally feels meaningful. The new QB DNA system and season-long player wear and tear add realism, while blocking and defense mechanics show clear improvements. However, old issues remain: sluggish menus, persistent bugs, inconsistent AI, and aggressive monetization in Ultimate Team. Lack of localization and unstable servers continue to hurt the experience, especially for Brazilian players.

Ghost of Yotei is a visually stunning game, with exciting and addictive gameplay, varied and challenging missions — improving on basically everything that was already pretty good in Ghost of Tsushima. To be perfect, though, I wish that Atsu was ruthless until the end of her journey instead of looking for some kind of redemption.

Silent Hill f… And this “f” stands for f... with your mind. An experience capable of generating anguish, tension, fear, disgust, contempt, sadness, disbelief. Emotion. Emotions. That mix of feelings that anyone who has ever played a chapter of this iconic videogame franchise knows pretty well. Silent Hill is back in a different way, but honoring the roots of what made it so memorable for so many people. Great story, great gameplay, great all-around game.

EA Sports FC 26 has everything it takes to enter the franchise’s “Hall of Fame” alongside classics like FIFA 14 and FIFA 17. The game delivers two incredible experiences for its respective audiences: authentic offline play and competitive online action, featuring the best gameplay since the series changed its name. It’s still not perfect — and probably never will be — but it feels like a championship-winning goal for a team that needed to deliver a response to its fans.

Sonic Crossworlds strikes a fine balance between fun and challenge, allowing each player to adjust the level of competitiveness according to their style, whether it’s racing casually or fighting for every corner in pursuit of victory. While it could offer more impactful rewards and a greater variety of car customization options, the game stands out as a vibrant kart arcade with colorful visuals, an engaging soundtrack, and races full of excitement.

Cronos: The New Dawn establishes Bloober Team in the survival horror genre with a 15-hour linear campaign set in devastated cities. Inspired by Dead Space, the game blends sci-fi, horror, and strategic gunplay. Despite FPS drops and slow texture loading, it delivers an immersive experience with strong atmosphere and an engaging narrative.

Hell is Us is a narrative-driven action-adventure game that focuses on exploration and investigation rather than guiding the player directly. Set in a war-torn land shaped by human cruelty, it offers a deep and symbolic journey filled with secrets and environmental storytelling. Strong art direction and a haunting soundtrack enhance the atmosphere. While combat is straightforward and bugs are present, the experience stands out for its originality and immersive world-building.

Gears of War Reloaded is a solid remaster that preserves the brutal and straightforward essence of the 2006 original. The linear campaign remains engaging, with guided storytelling, iconic characters, and heavy, cover-based combat. Visuals have been modernized with 4K resolution, HDR, 3D audio, and full DualSense integration. The multiplayer is fully featured, offering crossplay, cross-progression, and no microtransactions. While the AI shows its age, the pacing, weighty gameplay, and classic "more muscle, less brain" style make this version ideal for both longtime fans and newcomers.

EA Sports College Football 26 refines the series’ return with noticeable improvements to gameplay, Dynasty, and Road to Glory. Controls feel more responsive, animations are smoother, and the authentic college atmosphere shines through stadiums and traditions. Issues like conservative AI, slow menus, and lack of servers in some regions remain, but overall this is a solid and immersive step forward that reinforces confidence in the franchise’s future.

Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel set in early 1900s Sicily, delivering a cinematic story of power, honor, and betrayal. With stunning environments, a strong soundtrack, and immersive atmosphere, it captures the essence of the franchise, though its linear missions and repetitive gameplay may divide opinions. Still, it stands as a solid and engaging chapter for both longtime fans and newcomers.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater took one of the greatest games of all time and managed to raise it to an even higher level. It may not be for everyone, but it’s an outstanding experience. A true videogame masterpiece, with a refreshing new-gen touch that feels very welcome. More than twenty years later, we’re still in a dream.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 brings back two skateboarding classics with tight gameplay and solid performance on PS5. While unifying both games under one structure compromises THPS4’s original style, the experience remains fun and content-rich. The limited soundtrack is a letdown, but the spirit of virtual skateboarding is still alive.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers brings creative mechanics to the soulslike formula, offering dynamic combat, flexible customization, and a unique corruption system. While its core ideas show promise, the game struggles with uninspired bosses, confusing exploration, and technical limitations. It doesn't reach genre-defining heights but stands out by trying something different.

Ready or Not is a tense, strategy-focused tactical FPS where careful planning matters more than speed. It offers immersive, high-stakes missions and a strong sense of realism but struggles with clunky controls, a steep learning curve, and downgraded visuals on consoles. A rewarding yet demanding experience for patient players.

Rematch is an online football game focused on fast, intense matches with full player control, offering a fresh and fun experience for friends. Its dynamic gameplay and unique concept stand out, but frequent technical issues, lag, and bugs hold it back. A promising title that still feels unfinished.

With simple gameplay and a charming feline protagonist, it serves as an accessible entry point for newcomers to gaming. While its visuals and mechanics are limited, the emotional story makes it a memorable 5-hour experience.

Maestro is a creative, accessible, and immersive VR rhythm game that turns players into orchestra conductors. With excellent hand-tracking, precise haptics, a diverse musical selection (from Beethoven to Star Wars), and striking visuals, it stands out as one of the strongest rhythm titles on PS VR2. While the lack of Brazilian Portuguese localization hinders comprehension of menus and lore content, the gameplay remains intuitive and engaging. Ideal for music lovers and VR enthusiasts, Maestro delivers a joyful and polished conducting experience.

Badminton Time VR delivers a lighthearted and creative sports experience in virtual reality, offering arcade and realistic modes, entertaining minigames, and solid co-op matches with competent AI bots. While visually pleasant and occasionally engaging, the game is held back by technical flaws such as awkward camera angles, limited accessibility options, and poor matchmaking. With no support for Brazilian Portuguese and minimal online activity, its appeal is mostly for casual players looking for a fun, short-session game — ideally picked up during a sale.

Stellar Blade arrives on PC with an exemplary port, outperforming its PS5 counterpart in performance and responsiveness. With high frame rates, precise input timing, and solid optimization, it stands out in a market full of troubled PC launches. Combat is fluid and satisfying, level design encourages exploration, and the game runs smoothly even on non-cutting-edge setups. Minor FPS drops occur in open areas, and the story lacks depth, but overall, this is a highly competent and immersive action title — and a benchmark for future PC ports.

Forza Horizon 5 lands on PS5 as the most complete and technically refined version of the best racing game of the generation. With stunning visuals, full DualSense integration, and a massive open world, it offers instant fun and near-endless content. Performance on PS5 Pro is flawless, featuring ray tracing, smooth frame rates, and immersive haptics. However, the mandatory Microsoft account, clunky UI, and overly generous progression may frustrate some players. Still, this is an irresistible celebration of car culture — and a milestone in the new multiplatform gaming era.

Days Gone Remastered delivers the most technically polished version of the game, with significant improvements to lighting, frame rate stability, reflections, and DualSense support. Nights are now genuinely oppressive, and new modes offer modest replay value. However, character models remain untouched, the performance mode on standard PS5 shows reduced clarity compared to the PS4 backward-compatible version, and visual bugs persist. This remaster doesn’t reinvent the experience but is a solid update for fans — though it feels more like a symbolic gesture from Sony than a renewed commitment to the franchise.

Firebreak excels in its fast-paced and rewarding gameplay loop, visually rich environments, and seamless integration of lore. It also offers meaningful progression through difficulty tiers, modifiers, and kit customization. However, the game suffers from noticeable performance drops—especially at higher difficulties—and a limited amount of content at launch. Despite these issues, it delivers a compelling experience with strong cooperative mechanics and creative level design, making it a promising addition to Remedy’s catalog.

Death Stranding 2 is one of those works that makes us question what the role of a videogame really is. How this industry evolved to the level it’s at today. Hollywood-level cast, cinematic plot, deep and meaningful messages, unreal visuals and amazing gameplay… It’s the ultimate Hideo Kojima Game, and that’s saying something.

to a T embraces the absurd and unconventional in a charismatic narrative experience. In the format of positive social critique, the game hits the mark on some issues but falls short by being overly silly and simplistic.

Disturbing, Ratshaker is far from being just a mere pest control simulator. Despite being very short, the game draws players in through a deeply unsettling atmosphere and uncomfortable technical effects. A great choice for fans of unconventional horror.

Elden Ring: Nightreign delivers fast-paced, trio-only Expeditions through Limveld — with strategy and teamwork being key elements. Players explore, fight bosses, and face a final Nightlord in short, intense runs. Although fun and rewarding, the experience may be hurt because of it's clunky UI and poor coordination between players.

However, its dated gameplay, poor performance, and frequent bugs seriously hinder the experience. A love letter to longtime fans—but for newcomers, it may feel clunky, frustrating, and overshadowed by more modern RPGs.

Brutal, relentless, and deeply unsettling, Labyrinth of the Demon King is a hardcore experience inspired by PS1 classics. Its blurry, dark aesthetic shines with smooth, modernized gameplay, though it falters at times due to occasional lack of responsiveness.

The Precinct is a great sandbox with good ideas, a solid world structure, and a light but functional simulation of a police officer's life. Its campaign can feel repetitive after a while, but nothing that saving the city in varied ways can't fix. However, don't expect a GTA.

MotoGP 25 succeeds in making the series more accessible with well-balanced Arcade and Pro modes, refined physics, and improved career management. The sense of speed is excellent, but visuals remain limited and the online mode is nearly deserted. A safe step forward for veterans and the best entry point for newcomers—though the high price is hard to justify without an active multiplayer base.

Post Trauma is a fixed-camera survival horror game that blends classic design principles with modern execution. Drawing clear inspiration from Silent Hill and early Resident Evil titles, it emphasizes puzzle-solving, environmental storytelling, and psychological tension over action. The atmospheric level design, effective sound engineering, and detailed world-building elevate the experience, while its linear structure ensures narrative cohesion. Although it suffers from occasional visual glitches and a rudimentary combat system, Post Trauma stands out as a polished indie project that thoughtfully preserves and evolves the core tenets of the genre.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves marks SNK’s strong return to its classic franchise, blending modern mechanics like the REV System with legacy features such as S.P.G. The game offers deep yet accessible combat, varied single-player modes, and stylish visuals.

The Midnight Walk is a dark fantasy narrative adventure that blends emotional storytelling with handcrafted visuals and immersive mechanics. Playable on both PS5 and PS VR2, it features creative puzzles, a unique sound-based navigation system, and a chapter-based structure that keeps progression engaging. The standout companion Potboy adds charm and utility, while the spatial audio and DualSense integration elevate immersion. Lack of localization may limit accessibility for some, but this is one of 2025’s most distinct and heartfelt indie experiences.

At the same time that DOOM: The Dark Ages brings the series back to its roots, it also keeps innovating as the third part of the modern era of the franchise. It doesn't take a lot of risks, but adds a new combat dynamic with the shield, makes the story more impactful and delivers exactly what you'd expect of a DOOM experience. Even though it's a little bit slower and not so vertical as the last entries.

Featuring rising stars and a powerful Storylines: The Negro Leagues mode, it blends freshness with depth. While the price may deter casuals, it’s a complete and immersive package for baseball fans.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a faithful, fun, and surprisingly effective adventure. Machine Games succeeds by focusing on exploration, cinematic storytelling, and accessible puzzles rather than intense gunplay. The game impresses with iconic locations and an immersive soundtrack. Combat leans into stealth and melee, staying true to Indy’s scholarly nature. While pacing can slow down and puzzles feel overly simple, the experience remains authentic, offering around 20 hours of main story and up to 35 hours of total content. A journey that honors the legacy of the iconic hero and stands out in the genre.

Players follow the hero Arkantos in a campaign featuring 33 diverse missions, engaging with Greek, Egyptian, and Norse deities.

Overall, it offers a nostalgic and enjoyable experience for fans and newcomers alike.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows represents a new era for one of the most well-known and successful franchises in gaming history. Reaching adulthood in 2025, when it will celebrate 18 years since the first game, the series is more mature and complete than ever.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins offers a strategic and immersive evolution of the musou genre. The introduction of “Large Forces” in battles and “Assault” mechanics keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, preventing it from falling into monotony. The option to customize the protagonist and experiment with a wide array of weapons further enhances the experience, adding variety and depth. However, its impact on progression remains limited unless players invest time in fully exploring the available options.

Fairy Tail 2 is a good game. The JRPG meets expectations by being fun, charismatic, and delivering a product that fans will enjoy. On the other hand, don’t expect the title to blow your mind with excitement. It has technical issues and fails to engage an audience unfamiliar with Hiro Mashima's work.

BioWare made the right choice by delivering a Dragon Age game on a smaller scale while prioritizing quality.

Fans of Sword Art Online will certainly be pleased with the concept, which diverges from other games in the franchise. It's not hard to feel captivated by following the journey of beloved characters from the anime world, like Kirito and Asuna. On the other hand, don't expect a bed of roses with Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. The flaws are quite evident and might bother those looking for smooth and addictive gameplay.
