Although it doesn’t deliver builds as customizable or animations as spectacular as Engage, Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave still offers some of the best combat in the franchise. Combined with captivating characters, a narrative that truly holds your attention, highly varied maps, and an outstanding soundtrack, it’s easy to see why Fortune’s Weave has become a favorite Fire Emblem entry for so many people—including me. After more than 100 hours of gameplay, I still want more, and I think that says a lot about how much I enjoyed the experience. Now it’s just a matter of hoping the likely DLC really comes to fruition, because after all this I’m definitely not ready to leave this universe behind.

After so many years, Total War: Warhammer III reaches its conclusion with an expansion that truly feels like an event. For me, Lords of the End Times closes out one of the most ambitious trilogies ever created—not only by Creative Assembly, but in the entire history of the industry. Here’s to another thousand hours of gameplay in this wonderful franchise.

Star Wars Zero Company is a cinematic and engaging gateway into the tactical genre, capable of captivating those who seek a grand narrative in the Star Wars universe, even if they’ve never been interested in this type of game before. However, the lack of depth in its builds, difficulty balancing issues, and the scarcity of endgame content prevent it from reaching the level of the genre’s giants, despite coming very close.

If you’re looking for a pure rhythm game that’s lighthearted and truly challenges you to feel the music instead of just reacting to visual cues, Rhythm Heaven Groove delivers exactly what it promises. Even if it’s not the pinnacle of the franchise, it remains a feast for fans of the genre.

Cygames has delivered a product that will be very well received by longtime fans of the franchise, those who joined in Relink, and new players hopping in with the DLC. The level of gameplay quality, the spectacle of the fights and animations, the satisfying grind, and the content that delivers dozens and dozens of highly entertaining hours make Granblue Fantasy: Relink and Endless Ragnarok an easy recommendation on my part.

Ultimately, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 is a great game set in this universe I am so passionate about. The quality of its gameplay, story, and presentation delivers a really enjoyable experience. However, personally, the major downgrade in the audio department left a considerable wound in my little fan heart.
