While it loses some of the allure of Returnal, this game aims to attract players by smoothing out the learning curve.

A new IP is always a welcome event, especially from Capcom, and plot aside the first 75% of the game is a delight, albeit one low on challenge. Too bad that the last stage and the story put a damper on the whole affair, but only slightly.

Some improvements and some regression make for an enjoyable albeit flawed experience and the first entry eventually wins out.

The game has one of the best and most varied open worlds, but that’s pretty much the only thing I truly enjoyed from everything it throws at you in the hope that something eventually clicks, it even barely holds itself together on the PS5 Pro with the lack of polish on that version.

Great graphics and varied areas and challenges make up for a fun if uneven experience.

A remaster bundle is always appreciated especially when it's made with care. A good version of an ok game that charms and engages but also bores in equal measures.

For newcomers, this version of Wonder stands as the definitive way to experience the game, bringing together all its improvements in a more complete package. For returning players, the decision is more nuanced, hinging on whether the added content—particularly the emphasis on multiplayer—offers enough to justify the upgrade. While the game itself remains a polished and highly enjoyable experience, its release also highlights a broader missed opportunity for Nintendo to prioritize fresh, original titles during the Switch 2 launch window.

Fatal Frame II Crimson Butterfly Remake improved a lot on the gameplay, but almost forgot about the optimization, causing what could have been a legendary horror experience to be held back quite a bit by its technical problems.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 is a confident spin-off thay crafted a great monster hunter experience with a twist! And an unforgettable JRPG game.

Styx: Blades of Greed offers a literal classic stealth adventure, with expanded level design and gameplay mechanics, yet it struggles significantly in its story, mission structure, and both main and secondary characters.

While it can get repetitive and grindy, and there are some technical faults and some quality of life shortcomings, the game manages to push through due to its charm, creativity, and freedom.

I have always held Tales of Berseria in high regard for embracing a gritty tone while maintaining the core Tales essence. Now, I praise it once again for delivering the strongest remaster among the Tales remastered projects.

Part Resident Evil 4, part RE2 and 7 and even 5, presenting the best the series has ever offered (and sometimes the worst), with enough new or enhanced elements to make it also feel fresh. After 6 and Village's limp amalgamation of both gameplay types, this game finally nails it, for better or for worse.

A slightly better value of a good game in search of its identity.

The game that saved the series, or at least rebirthed it taking the series back to its root while simultaneously modernizing it, now in great shape on a portable console with all extra content included.

High On Life 2 is better and stronger than the first installment in every aspect except performance, which suffered slightly. The world design, weapons, and dialogues are at their peak. The game’s world is vibrant, lively, and full of humorous details, and since it’s larger in scale, the enjoyment is doubled. Fans of the first game should not miss this sequel.

Despite Avowed’s flaws and the lack of depth in most of its RPG systems, the PS5 version is the best edition of the game in terms of technical polish and the level of additions introduced over time. At a price of just $50, it’s a game worth experiencing for its beautiful world and a story that delivers Obsidian’s signature style in a modern way. While not the strongest title in the developer’s catalog, it remains enjoyable in several aspects, including its characters, narrative, and combat.

You can fill a review listing the changes and additions, which I have, but in the end this is a more casual friendly entry while still sticking largely to the formula of its predecessor. While it’s debatable whether it’s a step forward, it definitely is a more appealing proposition.

Spooky, surreal setting and co-op might be enough for some, but the gameplay is neither engaging nor frictionless, and there’s little new here to justify how limp it plays.

Nioh 3 is bigger, better and knows exactly what it wants. A better version of the previous 2 games that not only improved upon them, but to create the best combat in Team Ninja’s history and that exploration aspect they added was the icing on the cake.

A remake that reshapes the original without losing it’s essence, a balance that Dragon Quest VII Reimagined managed to achieve that deserves the title of being a modern classic masterpiece

Code Vein 2 is almost everything I wanted from a sequel. It sheds the Dark Souls skin of the first game and takes a bold step toward becoming a bigger, more confident Code Vein. Unfortunately, that ambition comes at a cost, as the game sacrifices the distinctive art style that defined the original in favor of a more generic tone.

The Buster Sword that once severed the relationship between Nintendo and Square Enix is now used to mend it, delivering one of the most impressive ports on Switch 2 and finally making this masterpiece playable natively on the go.

Kotama and the Academy Citadel rewards your exploration just like what a good metroidvania is about, with an exciting combat that just makes you want to keep going.

Both this game and The Hundred Line can be called some of the most ambitious visual novel games, but for different reasons. Here we have an expertly told non-linear story, set in a well built world, that while not flawless, succeeds in achieving its lofty goals.

Code Violet was such a depressing experience, nothing works in this game and even when it does, it wasn’t even interesting to keep me going.

Reviewing a series that barely changes and doesn’t need to is still a task that requires a lot of time even if the results are predictable, which mirrors this entry in that while predictable and even the bare minimum is still a great and lengthy experience.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is Marvel’s best Beat Em Up title, even when the visuals are not on par with the publisher’s other titles such as Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and Shredder’s Revenge.
