If there’s one lesson Another Eden: Begins has taught me yet again, it’s that no matter how much a game boasts about having major industry names attached to it, that pedigree doesn’t necessarily translate into a good experience. Its story is so shallow that the most positive thing I can say is that an offline version now exists for posterity, preserving the game long after the original gacha version inevitably shuts down.
Playing through STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT as someone who has never really read or played the original or the ELITE re-release was a great experience from beginning to end. While there are some frustrations with a lack of subtitles on images and the text crunch, I feel like I now understand just why people hold this game in such high regard. Once those issues I've mentioned have been ironed out, I can safely say this could be perfect for those looking to learn more about Rintaro and his journey.
Rhythm Heaven Groove is a fantastic return for the series, delivering over 100 delightful rhythm games alongside plenty of extras and secrets to discover. While it misses a few features from previous entries and its presentation can feel lacking at times, it’s still an easy recommendation for rhythm game fans.
The Adventures of Elliot: Millennium Tales is perhaps the answer to a potential scenario of "What if Square Enix took charge and created a top-down Zelda experience"? I don't mean that in a negative way - quite the contrary, in fact! This is a game that holds its own unique charm that I feel only Team Asano could do, and it re-kindled a sense of nostalgia that I probably haven't felt in more than a decade. If this means we will see more of HD-2D in other genres, or if this opens the door for new remakes, then I'm all in for it.
Neverness to Everness is a gacha game that really has the potential to position itself amid the sea of currently available games. There are a lot of small issues that keep it from unleashing its full potential, but the development team seems keen on fixing them.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a cute experience that I had a lot of fun playing. While some stages do have some rather obtuse solutions to their puzzles, it's still a cute and fun experience that I enjoyed from start to finish.
Fandisks are very hit-or-miss for me, with some of them being great, serving as a nice sequel title, and others that seem like they were made just to deliver the romance the original game practically didn't have. And unfortunately, Birushana: Winds of Fate falls into that second category. Even if you played the original, I'd still advise you to wait for a sale, unless you really, really want to revisit this story and see Shanao finally finding true love.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a lovingly crafted package that preserves the charm of the original games while adding meaningful quality-of-life improvements and long-lost content. While some design choices and minor presentation issues remain, the collection delivers a fun experience that is well worth it for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Pokémon Pokopia has shattered pretty much all the expectations I had of this game, and it deserves every praise it can get. This is precisely the type of game that, even if you boot it up for just a few short minutes, I guarantee you there will always be something that can be done, and before you notice, it's been half an hour, and you're still engrossed in it. Whether that time be spent looking for artifacts, decorating your islands, or even meeting new Pokémon, there's something for everyone to enjoy here.
Though I think it's good to finally have Hakuoki SSL translated officially in the west... after playing it so much, I ended up concluding that the game shouldn't have left its coffin on the Vita. Even though this alternate universe is really fun, I find it hard to ignore the fact its minigames are not, which gets to the point of not making me recommend this game.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive version of Ys X: Nordics. If you haven't purchased the game yet, I highly recommended that you get it, as it introduces new content that adds more to the game. But therein lies the problem: the extra content is so minimal and so optional that there is practically no reason for you to buy it otherwise, unless you want a version made for the Switch 2.

Dear me, I was… is a short experience that heavily relies on your ability to connect emotionally with the protagonist. The game does a great job with its storytelling, and while I wasn't able to connect with it as much as I would've liked, I do acknowledge how impactful this story could be for those who are able to connect with the protagonist.
Super Bomberman Collection finally brings these classic titles to multiple modern platforms. Although the emulation of the titles suffers from slight input latency and lacks any sort of online functionality outside GameShare, this is a fantastic grab for both enthusiasts who have been wanting to re-experience the series as they remember it and for newbies who have always wanted to see these amazing games but lacked the console to do so.
Compared to other ports I've seen, if Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade on Switch 2 is a sign of what we can expect from Square Enix in 2026, then I'll be very happy. Unlike certain ports that won't be mentioned, this version of Final Fantasy VII Remake was clearly made with a lot of love and care, bringing an experience incredibly close to the PS4 version. And all this at a very affordable price, considering that the price of games in 2026 is exceeding the $70 mark. However, it's a relatively difficult game to recommend, unless you've never played it before, as none of the features on Switch 2 are “exclusive” to the platform, which doesn't make it stand out that much. But if you need a portable way to experience the beginning of this trilogy's story, then you can purchase it with no worries. Just make sure you have enough space.

As my first Amulit game, I actually liked Neon Clash -Echoes of the Lost, but when compared to other otome games I've played... well, it ends up not being as good as I expected. Don't get me wrong, this is a very well-made title by Voltage's Amulit, with great character designs and a story that manages to be full of plot twists. Still, I can't quite call this an otome game, but rather a more traditional visual novel with a romance subplot. And that's the point I end up making. The romance is left for the end, I thought it was also lacking in relation to the Extras, and the translation has its flaws, not to mention the horrible font. But if you're looking for a story full of action, then I can recommend this game.

I certainly didn't expect to say this, but after playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, I must say I'm very impressed with how much love and care this game received. I don't like to fuel the rivalry that many people say SEGA and Nintendo still have, but if I had to choose between this game and Mario Kart World, it wouldn't even be a competition.

While I can understand that licensed Warriors games seek a very specific audience, I still think One Piece Warriors 4 is a very mediocre game in both cases: as a musou game that is fun to play, and as a good One Piece experience, especially for novice audiences who probably won't be able to enjoy it at all, and will instead just be lost in figuring out its story. Furthermore, it is a 2020 game that unfortunately does not stand out among the sea of Warriors games that Koei Tecmo has in its portfolio. Because the Warriors franchise has so many titles, it needs something to stand out, and unfortunately, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is not able to stand out. Therefore, I cannot recommend this game unless you find it at a steep discount.

Mistonia's Hope: The Lost Delight is a beautiful otome game, but one that values plot suspense over romance. The way the routes are structured makes you want to know even more, and the art and voice acting are wonderful, with perhaps the only problem I had being how easy it is for the game to overload you with information and not have a way to review it outside of the dictionary. Unfortunately, the translation also has some small issues, but if you are able to correct the errors in your head, as I did, what awaits you is a plot full of unexpected twists, and maybe even a little kiss scene at the end of it all.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake masterfully modernizes two timeless RPGs with the gorgeous HD-2D art style. Significant story changes, wonderful quality-of-life improvements, and flawless performance on Nintendo Switch 2 make this a must-play game for any fan of the genre. Without a doubt, this is the definitive way to experience the Erdrick Trilogy for both newcomers and longtime fans alike.
Lost Soul Aside lives up to its name. It’s a very beautiful action game with that ambitious indie‑game charm, though it clearly suffered from its long development cycle—perhaps for reasons beyond the developers’ control. If you’re looking for a story that will tug at your heartstrings, you’ll be a bit disappointed, because the plot here is honestly just okay at best. Perhaps its biggest flaw comes from Sony's attempt at pricing it as a AAA title, which it definitely doesn't live up to that.
