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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

While the game does not fix any of the series’s flaws, such as QTEs and a low budget, it does maintain its high level of great characters and engaging dialog and plot, and adds fun escape room sequences to spice things up. Definitely deserves its place within the series.

If there was a Bestower of Peak story path, then it would have been about Team Asano’s making of this game. It is the best thing to ever come out from Square Enix since Rebirth’s 2024’s release and the definitive Octopath experience, even if the budget tries to get on the way sometimes.

While it might only be an iterative sequel there really isn’t much like it, and when it forgets this and tries to ape other shooters is when it loses some of its luster, but is otherwise an experience like no other.

Dispatch brings us back to the peak of narrative-driven games, where the story is shaped by your choices. It offers a captivating world and a legendary storyline with a high degree of artistic creativity and cinematic flair, featuring characters I truly enjoyed spending time with. The game is an experience you must try if you’re a fan of this genre.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on PS5 offers a strong experience despite its flaws. It blends unforgettable survival atmospheres with moments of tension that the player feels personally with every step inside the forbidden zone. It may not be the complete experience many dreamed of, but it remains a world worth entering for those whose curiosity outweighs their fear and who have the patience to endure its brutality.

Atelier Ryza was the most selling Atelier game for a reason, it strikes a good balance between the complex, yet streamlined alchemy systems and a combat that is so engaging. But now with a way richer content that is worth revisiting those games for.

Arc Raiders offers one of the most unique and innovative multiplayer experiences, despite being based on a familiar concept: extraction. The developers’ high caliber, being ex- DICE, is evident in the game’s stunning visual and audio design. If you're looking for a game with deep systems and intense challenges that ignite your excitement and curiosity, here it is.

Buy it for the documentary, stay for the games, which are pretty good especially if not playing online or competitively.

This package has the best HD2D art-style in the industry, offering a fascinating look into the games that gave birth to this beloved genre. While Dragon Quest I has little to offer beyond a padded nostalgic trip, the second game stands out as a timeless gem.

Hades II builds on the success of the first game in its own distinctive way. The changes aren’t just about featuring a female protagonist—the new additions and customization options add a tremendous strategic dimension to the gameplay, with a wealth of content that offers excellent replay value. As with the first game, Hades II is a strong contender for Game of the Year—and for me, it truly deserves that title.

It doesn’t get more ambitious, and a bit uneven, than this. A visual novel with an interesting premise and a great cast of characters that you can replay to get a huge number of permutations of scenarios and endings.

If you're a fan of Fallout and Western RPGs, this game is close to the pinnacle of that genre and is the legitimate and spiritual successor to Fallout New Vegas. A powerful experience with a deep story and relatable characters, with dire consequences for every choice and great freedom in every way. Xbox has done a brilliant job in delivering a premium first-party game that will satisfy RPG fans.

Battlefield 6 doesn’t introduce any major innovations to the series as a whole, but it successfully brings together everything that has made it stand out — from thrilling story missions to a multiplayer mode that never gets old, thanks to its variety of modes, expertly designed maps, and a destruction system with movie-like explosions. The result is a strong and highly welcome return for fans of war shooters, whether or not they’ve followed the series before.

The series prides itself on reinventing itself with each installment, and this is its biggest one so far. This has resulted in a faster, bloodier and more cinematic action game that sometimes feels more MGR Revengeance than Ninja Gaiden, especially in its boss fights, which honestly is a net improvement. There's still enough Ninja Gaiden DNA though, if you look close enough.
