Nioh 3 evolves the series' formula with semi-open world maps and an even deeper and more dynamic combat system, maintaining challenging and highly satisfying encounters.

The Casting of Frank Stone is an excellent addition to the Dead by Daylight universe, offering an engaging and tightly tied narrative, full of references for fans of the original game. The focus on story and decisions creates an immersive and cinematic experience, with well-crafted psychological horror elements. However, the easy puzzles and skill tests can be disappointing for players looking for a greater challenge.

However, there are some issues, such as the single-player bots being quite difficult to control. Furthermore, the game was clearly designed for five players, so many levels become unnecessarily long and difficult with fewer players.

Exciting, fun and energetic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a true celebration of the franchise and the beat 'em up format itself. The game combines a story typical of the super sentai morning shows of the 1990s, great gameplay and a stunning aesthetic, even if it loses a bit of pace in the shooting and combat passages with the zords.
