Bringing the duology to a spectacular conclusion, wrapping up the arcs of Lloyd and KeA, and delivering a top-tier narrative, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure offers an adventure that—while perhaps appearing typical for a JRPG on the surface—will reveal itself to be pure gold to those willing to dive into both games.

Village in the Shade brings the best aspects of Yomawari to a new genre, while embracing the horror that was so well refined previously.

It’s a different kind of idea that more famous franchises should try. It was refreshing to see a lighthearted alternative in a saturated gaming market—a market that typically focuses solely on quick profits by leveraging well-known characters.

Dense, irregular, and unexpectedly intelligent, Steins;Gate Re:Boot deserves your attention if you’re unfamiliar with the series—though I’ll offer a personal recommendation: play the game first, then watch the anime.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen won me over with the freedom to turn an ordinary journey into an unpredictable adventure. The vocations make combat varied, the monsters invite experimentation, and the terrain plays a role in fights in a way few games manage to replicate. The elven village and a cyclops used as a bridge are precisely the kinds of memories that linger long after you’ve turned off the console.

Final Fantasy Resonance is a true “celebratory title” that not only honors and pays tribute to the classic era of Final Fantasy, but also brings the beloved story of Brave Exvius to life in a format that everyone can enjoy.

Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch left me feeling somewhat conflicted. While the idea of ​​leveraging the Nintendo Switch 2’s "Game Share" feature to craft an asymmetrical horror experience—reminiscent of games from the Wii U era—is quite creative, the execution fails to live up to that potential. With repetitive progression, overly harsh penalties for death, and an overall design that just didn’t quite hit the mark for me, the experience fell short.

2026 has been a good year for the Switch 2 in terms of more realistic racing games. The platform has shown that there is room for this style of title, and The Crew Motorfest has all the makings of a fun experience that will fill a gap in the console’s library: open-world racing games. There is plenty of content to enjoy, and as a live-service title, the game will continue to receive new additions in the coming months, offering players even more challenges.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival aptly incorporates the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice into its narrative—a foundation that also underpins some of the best horror games, such as Silent Hill 2, Signalis, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard, among many others. The most significant difference here, perhaps, is that at no point does the title attempt to convince us that Sunny is a person worth the effort (quite the opposite, in fact).

I must confess that, despite the hurdles and frustrations I often have with this genre, the game really won me over. It’s a unique title—the kind that stays on your mind even when you’re away from home, leaving you eager to jump back in the moment you return. From an artistic standpoint, everything is remarkably cohesive—the soundtrack, the environments, and the story—to such an extent that the lack of polish and the somewhat heavy controls don’t end up undermining the overall experience.

I conclude that my overall experience with Manairons was more negative than positive. It is a game full of potential, but one that lacks polish and shows little attention to detail.

It is truly great to revisit a period of one’s life through a game and realize that the work was genuinely good—not just a case of cheap nostalgia or pure sentimental appeal. This makes the final result all the more satisfying.

All the effort in the world is no guarantee of success. Sleepless nights, consistency, and dedication can often feel like a shot in the dark. Yet, seeing a project infused with such love—one that defies the metrics defining success—offers a heartening reminder that the world isn't reduced merely to a sequence of zeros and ones. Even with a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, how many projects were dead on arrival? How many stars burned out before reaching their full brilliance? We live in times where the obvious needs to be stated—loud and clear, preferably—so if this wild blend of Pikmin, rhythm game, and roguelite doesn't click with you, don't go around ranting about it. Not everything is about you or for you.

Although my experience with Dynasty Warriors is relatively recent, I found great appreciation in revisiting the title where (almost) everything began. Having experienced the Romance of the Three Kingdoms three times this year alone, I already hold the characters in high regard, and seeing them at their origins makes me appreciate the new entries even more. Here’s to another 25 years of fierce battles, larger-than-life characters, and strengthened dynasties!

Despite minor flaws, Village is an incredible experience that successfully rides the wave of the series' renaissance and expands beyond its comfort zone.

I don't know if I can recommend the game. It’s beautiful, and the music is charming—catchy and relaxing [...] But all things considered—due to how fast-paced it is and the control issues—I ultimately feel hesitant to recommend it, unfortunately, even though it is so visually polished.

Resident Evil 7 is more than just an excellent survival horror game: it is a reminder that the franchise can reinvent itself by returning to its roots.

Trails from Zero is a curious entry in the series that is bound to have both fans and detractors, but overall, it is one of Falcom's gems—a title that, even 16 years after its original PSP release, can still be enjoyed by everyone.

Earth Defense Force 5 for Nintendo Switch 2 is an interesting entrypoint in the franchise. The new edition brings some quality of life upgrades and shows very well the merits of the series, but may still be a little unintuitive to newbies.
