A charming and varied version of one the most addictive puzzlers around, and an ok remaster of the best entry in the series.

This still a great game in its presentation and gameplay and wealth of content and a great choice for newcomers, but for existing owners the Aftermath expansion might seem a bit light in content compared to the asking price.

A game that is both alluring and infuriating at the same time, brimming with energy and creativity and bogged down with finicky controls and a busy interface. As a remaster it doesn't go enough, but for those willing to put up with its shortcoming it offers some of the most epic and innovative moments in any game.

7 / 10 - Sakura Wars

The plot and battle system might be simplistic, but it does its job in giving the game a driving force. This is an overall engrossing experience and the closest thing to playing an anime.

A game that makes up for its relatively low budget by having a lot of soul and an enchanting world coupled with an engaging battle system. A clear improvement over the Secret of Mana remake.

Even with it being merely more of the same, the same in question is still one of the best designed and most satisfying puzzle games

Taken as a new game based on the PS1 Classic, building and improving on some of its aspects while drastically changing others, this is a beautiful game with a great battle system and some of the best character development ever, but its structure falters somewhat at times.

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.

An easily digestible romp that, while not as fulfilling as Ace Attorney, nevertheless is a delight to experience.

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.

The best version of what is still considered one of the best in its genre, with some welcome added features.

The game is currently in its best state ever in terms of balance and character variety and player expression, and is still supported and played, thus making this package an incredible value for money for anyone interested in the game.

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.

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.

A polished 2D platformer rich in content and ideas, and show the developer capable of iterating on what they started earlier in their career.

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.
