10 / 10 - Resident Evil 3
Mar 30, 2020

Another slam dunk remake from Capcom; one that is faithful while still feeling contemporary and exciting. This is a faster, tighter game than the remake of Resident Evil 2, with a cast of interesting characters and a better flow than the original.

A gorgeous fighting game even for those unfamiliar with the source material, with an easy to grasp but hard to master fighting system, and a solid RPG mode that can be played solo or in co-op. A solid recommendation to a wide range of audiences.

Still one of the best action games around, with a unique look and character, and the ability to play it on current gen systems is a welcome opportunity.

Feb 18, 2020

A frenetic shooter that might be short and with a cookie-cutter plot, but there's still nothing like it even 10 years later.

A great addition if you're really into the game's battle system and crave challenge, but otherwise a weak offering especially considering the asking price.

An enjoyable ride with enough diversity but this is still a series looking to reclaim its identity. The best NFS this generation but there is still room for improvement.

Is it a new genre of games? Perhaps, but it definitely succeeds in presenting polished and novel, even revolutionary, ideas even if the overall experience can drag on and feel monotonous at times due to uneven story and set-piece pacing.

An incredible achievement for its time and with the incredible makeover it has not lost its luster. It might be short by today's standards, but it's a dense and rich experience with a captivating charm.

It might not have the effect of 7 nor the love of 9, but this divisive entry is one of the most ambitious and important, and this release is a decent way to try it.

4.5 / 5.0 - Astral Chain
Sep 3, 2019

Minor technical issues and an underwhelming story aside, this is Platinum Games' most ambitious game to date, one that retains the developer satisfying combat system yet adds so much more.

A very polarizing game, that doesn't want you to love it despite your efforts. A lighthearted romp through some beautiful scenery coupled with some novel ideas, bogged down by a plethora of nuisances and annoyances.

A remarkably faithful adaptation of a fan-favorite anime, with a surprisingly tight and enjoyable battle system. The only letdown is the weak amount of content, but it can’t be denied that the limited budget went to the right place and favored quality over quantity.

4 / 5.0 - Judgment
Jun 30, 2019

While it might not be the best entry point to the world of Kamurocho, and neither is it a giant leap from the Yakuza series to someone who might be fatigued at this point, it still is a good entry to the bewitching world of Kamurocho with enough differences to make it feel unique.
