This is the beginning of a new era for Atlus RPGs. Over the course of the 87 hours it took us to complete this adventure, we experienced amazing combats, explored a beautiful world and enjoyed the freedom that Studio Zero has given us players with the Archetypes. Additionally, the game immersed us in an epic story with multiple plot twists and a strong political message of unity, freedom, and understanding that we hope will resonate as strongly with you as it did with us.

The original MGS3 still is a masterpiece of design and storytelling. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater adds a few quality of life improvements and polishes the gameplay a bit more while paying close attention to the original, presenting it to a new audience.

This is a game that focuses on adaptation and teamwork in short but action-packed matches. Thanks to the vast experience of Hidetaka Miyazaki's studio, it draws on different playstyles to achieve a synergy that gives the title—despite belonging to the Elden Ring universe—a lot of personality.

After 32 years, many find it very difficult to innovate. However, id Software has managed to introduce new mechanics and design improvements to its old formula, opting for a first-person action-adventure approach. The studio has opted to return to its roots, abandoning multiplayer mode.

An ambitious modernization that undeniably preserves the essence of the 2006 classic while introducing visual, gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. Thanks to this —and despite even inheriting the original's flaws—Bethesda and Virtuos have delivered a smoother experience with a great set of accessibility options for new players.

We are facing a title that will undoubtedly be the roadmap for future SNK games and will be the best fighting game of 2025.

Despite the positive aspects, it's worth noting that the game starring Majima—despite having original mechanics—draws heavily from the previous installment. But one thing we're sure of is that this isn't the last time we'll see Shimano's crazy dog.

After a five-year wait, you can rest easy, because Resident Evil Requiem—especially in terms of gameplay—is everything a fan of the Capcom saga could hope for. It offers equal parts action and horror, cinematic cutscenes with outstanding direction, and—despite a few minor flaws—plenty of surprises. Furthermore, the franchise's DNA remains intact in every corner of the game, and those who enjoy exploring every last file will find a highly polished story in this installment, brimming with clues about what lies ahead. But for now, we can only say that Resident Evil Requiem is undoubtedly one of the must-have games of 2026.

9 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 6
May 14, 2026

Forza Horizon 6 is the quintessential arcade racing game. This is thanks to its accessibility, extensive customization options, and above all, its sheer fun. The recreation of Japan stands out for its visual fidelity in some of the environments and the variety of surfaces it offers for different driving disciplines. The inclusion of community creation tools and the integration of online modes—in addition to all the single-player content—extend the game's lifespan, not to mention all the time that can be spent creating tracks and customizing cars.

8.8 / 10.0 - Lumines Arise
Nov 11, 2025

Not only feels as good as Tetris Effect, but the design and graphical direction feels as if it were made exclusively for the game originally. Arise is a musical and sensory journey as a whole, but it also has the magic of classic arcade games.

A great addition to the catalog of fighting game compilations from the genre's golden age. This collection gives players the opportunity to rediscover lesser-known titles—or some forgotten due to their low popularity—along with acclaimed classics.

Perfectly reproduces the universe and the dynamics between the characters, which thanks to the excellent voice acting and musical atmosphere complement each other perfectly to make the player feel like they are in one of the films of the classic trilogy. Unfortunately, the game has some flaws, but despite this it is a game that you should definitely play and despite not having as much action as others in the genre, it has managed to quench our thirst for adventure that the lack of a new Uncharted has left.

8.5 / 10.0 - Shadow Labyrinth
Aug 14, 2025

An ambitious—even daring—game that dares to reinvent an icon like Pac-Man in the Metroidvania genre. It strikes a remarkable balance by reimagining classic elements within a dark science fiction universe but has some noticeable visual flaws, sprawling and often confusing areas, and a slow pace of progression. Despite this, the title offers great boss battles, an outstanding soundtrack, and solid level design.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties together form a great game that tells a well-rounded story, showcasing not only Kiryu's more human side but also Mine's darker side. Thanks to the new content, Mine's character has a deeper development, solidifying her status as one of the best villains in the series. Additionally, it features a wide selection of minigames and new missions and story arcs not present in the original version. However, just as the third installment marked a turning point for the franchise, its reimagining has revealed a possible stagnation or fatigue with the formula.

8.5 / 10.0 - Romeo is a Dead Man
Feb 10, 2026

Romeo is a Dead Man isn't without technical flaws, such as a slow start and visibility issues with the field of view, but these are offset by the originality of its structure and the richness of its side content. As is their custom, Grasshopper Manufacture steers clear of contemporary industry clichés to deliver a product that goes against the grain, offering a wide variety of visual styles and solid combat mechanics—which, while simple, provide a satisfying experience for those seeking something unconventional.

Capcom continues to show deep respect for the Blue Bomber's legacy, giving fans the chance to play all seven titles in this trilogy with all the exclusive extras from the Japanese versions, including online play and quality-of-life improvements at a very attractive price compared to the current value of DS cartridges as collector's items. While these games reflect the fatigue the series experienced in the early 2000s, they are also remembered for their story and Geo's evolution as a character. So, if you're a Mega Man fan and never got the chance to play the Star Force saga, now's the perfect time to experience the story of Geo and Omega-Xis.

8.5 / 10.0 - Replaced
Apr 29, 2026

Replaced stands out for its immersive pixel art visuals and a story with profound social commentary on capitalism and technological ethics. While Sad Cat Studios' debut game offers fluid combat and a memorable cinematic atmosphere that emotionally connects with the player, the experience is marred by imprecise platforming controls, balance issues in encounters, and an uneven distribution of checkpoints. Nevertheless, its solid artistic and sound design compensates for these minor mechanical flaws, delivering an artistic and thematic proposition that distinguishes itself within the 2.5D action genre.

While the story of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army may feel far removed from the depth of Shin Megami Tensei's complex plots, or its characters lack the charisma and development of Persona's, its strange twists and pace—chaotic but memorable—make Raidou Kuzunoha XIV's adventure worth a chance.

Even 30 years after their debut, the first two games in the Gensō Suikoden franchise, with only a handful of superficial improvements, haven't let the passage of time dull them. While this isn't a perfect collection, it is the definitive way to re-experience and preserve two of the Japanese RPG gems that were lost to time.

This is a game that demands a time investment of around 100 hours to fully complete. Its greatest strength lies in its robust combat system and—for those most familiar with the franchise—in its ability to tie up loose ends from story arcs begun two decades ago. However, what is a strength for some players is, for others, a hindrance to the experience due to its complex story, which, while attempting to be more accessible through glossaries and summaries, still presents a considerable barrier to entry due to the density of its backstory. Despite all this, the characters and story are so well-written that it has left us wanting to learn more about the past adventures of this group of protagonists.
