Tales of Eternia Remastered successfully brings Bandai Namco's classic JRPG into the modern era, offering newcomers an ideal entry point to a 2000s gem. Driven by a charming narrative across the twin worlds of Inferia and Celestia, the adventure shines thanks to a dynamic 2D real-time combat system that has aged remarkably well. Thanks to a clean visual overhaul at 60 fps and crucial QOL additions (such as destination markers, adjustable encounter rates, and speed options) the frustrating friction of classic retrogaming is effectively smoothed out, delivering a deeply entertaining and polished classic.

Ratatan captures the undeniable charm, vibrant art style, and catchy rhythm of its spiritual predecessor, Patapon, offering a delightful audiovisual experience for fans of the cult classic. However, the game struggles under the weight of excessive simplifications, including a superficial roguelike card system, stripped-down unit customization, and underwhelming mechanics. Compounded by technical hiccups, such as progress-halting boss crashes, and an unpolished multiplayer mode, this games feels more like a missed opportunity than a triumphant return. While the potential is certainly there, the rhythm needs some serious fine-tuning before it can truly shine.

Mewgenics is an incredibly deep, bizarre, and addictive tactical RPG that manages to turn genetic experimentation, turn-based combat, and roguelite progression into an irresistible formula. Its enormous variety of builds, interactions, and unexpected situations makes every run feel different, while its unmistakable personality keeps the experience constantly entertaining. The PS5 version also translates the complex interface surprisingly well to a controller, making this one of those rare games capable of making hours disappear without you even noticing.

Beyond that, it’s also a great game for spending a few relaxing hours.

Mixtape is a short, heartfelt and stylistically powerful narrative adventure that captures the essence of adolescence without reducing it to mere nostalgia. The way it weaves together music, memory and personal growth is the true heart of the experience, even more so than its mini-games or interactive structure.

As far as the pure gameplay part is concerned, however, it could have been done much better.
