Ryu Hayabusa returns with a good remaster operation, maintaining the intense and brutal combat system of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. The difficulty is more accessible and the new graphics made in Unreale Engine 5 are great, but there are still historical issues like the camera and some content missing compared to Sigma 2.

Sniper Elite: Resistance disappoints with a derivative, lackluster campaign devoid of innovation, despite the solid sniping gameplay still holding up and the overall longevity. The dated graphics are also a drawback, while the new Propaganda Challenge mode will appeal to more skilled players.

8 / 10.0 - Infinity Nikki
Dec 12, 2024

Infinity Nikki surprises with its vastness and style, offering a relaxing and beautiful open world with plenty to do. The grinding and currency system are the price to pay for a free game of this size, but they do not overshadow a unique free-to-play experience.
