Yakuza Kiwami 3 looks and feels modern, with more agile combat and an extra chapter in Dark Ties that shines thanks to its cinematics and the style of Mine. However, the remake comes at a cost. A cleaner atmosphere, recycled minigames, mandatory activities that disrupt pacing, and a new style so strong that it reduces the challenge. It also features cuts and casting choices that feel distracting. It is a great package, but an uneven one. For veterans, some rewrites may feel heavy. For newcomers, it is the most accessible route.

It stands as the best way to play this masterpiece within the Nintendo ecosystem.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 stands as a surprisingly solid port. Midgar looks spectacular thanks to its lighting, and the package includes Episode INTERmission.

Even so, the combat excels, the story shines, and the docked mode maintains strong stability.

Code Vein II is not the definitive soulslike, but it effectively adopts the genre’s mechanics and difficulty to present players with a challenge that feels worth overcoming.

Its campaign shines through emotional moments and brilliant psychological sequences, even if the villain and ending fall short.

Treyarch delivers a lot in a short timeframe, but the inconsistent polish exposes the rush of the annual release cycle.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the best musou set in Hyrule to date. Its combat is varied, fluid, and spectacular, featuring unique characters and mechanics inspired by Tears of the Kingdom. The story, though familiar, feels epic, and the performance on Switch 2 is flawless. It is an ambitious spin off that manages to honor the main saga without losing its own identity. An essential experience for Zelda fans.

Once Upon a Katamari is pure charm. Bandai Namco succeeds in reviving the absurd magic of the classic with polished gameplay, humor filled levels, and a vibrant artistic direction.
