Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a lesson learned from all the work done adapting popular series into musou games. It not only draws from its predecessor, but also makes good choices considering the best aspects introduced in these productions in recent years.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza Kiwami
Nov 12, 2025

The original Yakuza Kiwami port for the Switch achieved good results given its hardware limitations, but the superiority of this native Switch 2 version is undeniable. Players will find a great experience worthy of the PlayStation 2 classic, but of course, if you haven't upgraded yet, the previous version is also great.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza Kiwami 2
Nov 12, 2025

Yakuza Kiwami 2 makes me believe in ports of the entire series on the Switch due to the use of the current graphics engine, even though this entire multiplatform expansion of the series after being stuck for several years in exclusivity with PlayStation seems like a dream. I believe that the more people who have access to it [the series], the better, and this game is a very good release in the franchise overall, considering its importance in laying the groundwork for titles released later.

I don't think my experience with this game was bad, but I was disappointed compared to previous titles. Still, my feelings are a bit conflicted, considering the positive surprise presented by the new gameplay segments focused on Escape Rooms. These are good moments, but they don't enhance the narrative as a whole, which in my opinion has always been AI's greatest strength.

If you're a fan of fighting games, Guilty Gear -Strive- is a great choice for Nintendo's little hybrid monster. It shows the power of excellent optimization combined with an already great game. With the additional content included, everything gets even better, but the lack of crossplay can get in the way.
