With a nostalgic DNA, The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails remaster should please Falcom's longtime fans, but newer fans might not adjust to the "loop" and restrictions from the original release.

As a celebration of the series' 40th anniversary, Super Bomberman R 2 leaves an empty feeling, seeming like a simple patch or DLC of its predecessor and that there is still room for evolution in the series. However, the game offers a solid multiplayer experience, especially in local mode, showing once again that this is the franchise's greatest strength.

Avatar The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance is a pile of shallow ideas implemented in a simplistic and clumsy way. The narrative and visuals make little use of the rich base material, the exploration is bland and the combat system is an insult. In the end, a big disappointment.

Everhood: Eternity Edition brings intense rhythm challenges, good electronic music, a surrealist story and lots of psychedelia. Fortunately, difficulty options help make this trip more accessible to those who want the dreamlike experience without suffering (too much) with the required reflexes. It may not be for everyone, but its peculiarities will surely appeal to the target audience.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is an excellent homage to the past and a well-realized title in its own merits. Evoking elements that made the franchise a huge success and marrying them with several of the improvements made in recent games, it is a great game and it has a beautiful approach to telling the story of one of the most intriguing characters in the franchise: Basim.

NASCAR Arcade Rush is exactly what it promises, delivering a simplified and casual racing game without any specialized complications or the like. Using colors in a charming visuals, it offers a light and simple gameplay, perfect for lazy afternoons, but far from the sophistication that many motorsport fans expect.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is another excellent chapter in a franchise full of them. Mixing a great musou combat with a rich and exceptionally developed story, a well-established mythology and very well built characters, the title is easily one of the most welcome and surprising games of 2023.

Pizza Possum delivers on its promises as the arcade looting chaos is a lot of fun. This game is a well-made arcade feast that's even better for those who want to steal food as a couple in co-op mode. However, like all delicious and ephemeral food, it leaves you wanting more.

Baldur's Gate 3 has reached the pinnacle of RPG games. With an engaging turn-based combat system, rewarding exploration, and some of the best narrative and character development, Baldur's Gate 3 is one of those games that we'll remember for many years to come.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps and Beans 2 is a tribute to fans of Bud and Terence, whose nostalgia and references to the famous duo provide the necessary quality to conquer a space among indie games focused on the retro pixel art style. The unique characteristics full of humor, associated with the dynamics between protagonists and antagonists, is the difference that signals the game's extravagant personality.

MythForce had everything to please an entire generation that grew up falling in love with the peculiar aesthetics of adventurous animations from the 1980s and 1990s, but unfortunately the inspirations remained only in the concept. As soon as the game starts, it only presents us with a generic roguelite journey devoid of any emotion.

Despite not delivering what it promised and sounding like a step backwards after so many new experiences developed by Experience, Mon-Yu still manages to deliver the core experience and entertain fans familiar with the genre.

The Crew Motorfest is a great addition to the franchise, but it's also a title that may disappoint some fans, especially those who continued playing its predecessor for so long. Although the game is full of fun activities, the focus on multiplayer may leave many unwilling to follow the continuous evolution that will come in the coming months and years.

Separate Ways is a great expansion, bringing an additional campaign to one of the best titles of 2023. In addition to completely reinventing the mode from the PS2 era, the DLC brings new features to the gameplay and manages to deliver a complete package when we take the base game into account.

If we look at The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition as a game dedicated to the famous characters that made their mark decades ago, it certainly owes a lot because it takes little advantage of its qualities beyond the visuals. As a roguelike shooter that mixes comedy, cuteness and gratuitous violence, however, there is a lot of fun here for fans of the genre.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the footsteps of its predecessor and delivers an excellent mystery worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and an unstable look, however, its best qualities lie in the way the investigation is conducted and in the twists and turns that only good stories in this genre can provide.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a good game adapting an anime, but a relatively shallow Action RPG. Although there is a lot of content here (especially if you are a fan of the franchise), the game only recreates the anime's narrative, the combat is too simple and its most unique mode ends up tiring due to its repetitiveness.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case follows the footsteps of its predecessor and delivers an excellent mystery worthy of the author's best works. With simple mechanics and an unstable look, however, its best qualities lie in the way the investigation is conducted and in the twists and turns that only good stories in this genre can provide.

EA Sports FC 24 is a beautiful new look for a classic that has been evolving for decades and establishing itself as the main sports simulator on the market. With even better gameplay, more intuitive menus and modes that allow you to get to the field as quickly as possible, this is ultimate proof that the name change doesn't matter - the quality remains the same.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, when combined with update 2.0, brings a series of new features and adjustments to the original game. Some of its worst technical problems are resolved, adding new narrative layers, improving problematic systems and, finally, taking the game to the level we expected at launch.

Days of Doom is a fun mix between roguelite and tactical RPG that keeps you entertained largely due to its simplicity. Although the game manages to capture the feeling of wanting to play just one more run, its simplicity also ends up limiting the time you can enjoy it.

After almost 25 since their original releases, Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles finally brings two good RPGs from the PS1 and PS2 that were exclusive to Japan to modern consoles. Although they are not unmissable games, both bring several unique elements that make them very fun and will captivate fans of the genre who have never played them.

Mortal Kombat 1 has fun gameplay with several combo route options thanks to Kameos. However, Invasions mode gets boring quickly and the final arc of Story mode doesn't please either. Character customization should have been better after what we've seen in other NetherRealm Studios games and the absence of the Krypt is notable.

NBA 2K24 is, at the same time, an incredible basketball simulator at its best on the court and a game plagued by its excessive effort to sell microtransactions to players. While all modes deliver a lot of content, their success largely depends on your tolerance for someone trying to sell you something all the time.

Lies of P combines elements from Soulsborne games, adds some of its own ideas and puts it all in a very well-set version of a dark world, inspired by one of the most recognizable stories in classic literature. Some of its combat mechanics may take a little more time to get used to, but that doesn't take away from Lies of P its merits of being one of the best Soulslikes released recently.

WrestleQuest is a fun tribute to one of the most important eras of wrestling. Its narrative and combat have good ideas and fun execution, yet it fails to reach a higher level thanks to some frustrating design choices that make the game excessively repetitive.

A competent visual novel, with an engaging story and unique artstyle, ANONYMOUS;CODE delivers a solid experience, even if, in some aspects, implement already known story beats from past SciADV titles.

Firewall Ultra is a simple game, with few modes at launch and a very long matchmaking. Furthermore, the gameplay barely explores the capabilities of VR. With the promised support, Firewall Ultra may be better in the future, but it's difficult to recommend it at the moment.
