Playing Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition makes you realize how much this title deserves a remake, but instead, we have to settle for a simple remaster. The graphical overhaul is well done and does justice to a timeless classic despite some limitations due to the passage of time that the developers haven't addressed. The new additions don't fully justify the purchase for long-time fans, who will likely be driven by nostalgia. However, those who have never experienced the story of Jade and Pey’j now have no excuses.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a solid and fun JRPG, a good alternative to the main series. Its vibrant and colorful art style still holds up well. The game improves on its predecessor but inherits some limitations in side missions and exploration.

Monster Hunter Stories is a JRPG that, despite graphical and audio improvements, clearly shows its limitations as a nearly ten-year-old Nintendo 3DS game. Overlooking these limits, it's still a fun game that showcases the more Pokémon-like side of the series.

The debut work from this Latin American development team is extremely pleasant in its simplicity, with an enjoyable story, effective gameplay, and impactful art style. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is a good start for C2 Game Studio on consoles and a promising foundation for more ambitious goals.

EA Sports F1 24 feels like a transitional entry, awaiting something more significant hopefully next year. Codemasters' racing game features solid, fun gameplay and a revamped career mode, but some promising ideas fall short. The nearly unchanged game offering and overall sense of déjà vu make it hard to recommend to those who played the previous installment, yet die-hard fans might overlook these flaws.

The lack of a high-quality tennis video game was felt, and TopSpin 2K25 brings joy to fans with its excellent gameplay. Unfortunately, this excellence doesn't extend to other aspects, with technical and content offerings below today's standards. Hopefully, TopSpin 2K25 marks a new beginning for the series, with 2K Games addressing these issues in future installments.

Dragon’s Dogma II is the natural evolution of a saga that compromised due to technological limits over ten years ago. Now free of those limits, Capcom’s action/RPG presents itself in majestic form. Even if the story sometimes feels like a rehash of the first chapter, its amazing gameplay and vast open world make it a masterpiece.

WWE 2K24 lacks significant gameplay innovations and a technological revolution due to its cross-gen nature, but it feels like the definitive chapter after the series' reboot with 2K22. It’s the culmination of 40 years of Wrestlemania and what this entertainment sport can offer. With the largest roster ever for the series and many modes, some more successful than others, it can entertain all tastes for many hours.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is a window to a past centered on carefree, instant fun, but also a window to a present plagued by bugs and server issues. As things stand, it's worth buying only for singleplayer, where the collection showcases the best of what Pandemic's two games offered. Those interested in multiplayer might want to wait a few weeks, hoping Aspyr fixes the issues.

There's not much more to add about Cat and Ghostly Road except that it's a missed opportunity. Narratively and artistically, BOV's work is solid, but it's marred by gameplay situations that make progression less enjoyable.

Persona 3 Reload is the best way to relive the third chapter of Atlus' saga, despite narrative gaps that might be filled with future DLCs. The alignment with Persona 5 Royal has made it a pleasant and fun experience, with excellent art and music.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a perfect example of how to and how not to remaster a classic. Visually, Aspyr's work is commendable, but gameplay-wise, little has been done to modernize the original trilogy. This collection is only for nostalgia seekers, as younger players will likely struggle to enjoy it.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is mediocre and another unnecessary game-as-a-service. The interesting narrative premise is ruined by poor writing and annoying characters. The solid gunplay falls apart due to repetitive gameplay. It's a major disappointment from Rocksteady.
