Playing Cronos: The New Dawn is a memorable experience, not so much for its moments of pure terror, but for the way it immerses you in a devastated, abandoned, and, at the same time, dangerous world.

A return that isn't revolutionary, but confirms that Kirby and the Lost Land is still one of the most successful installments in the series. The graphical upgrade and new content don't transform the experience into something completely different, but they offer the perfect excuse to return to explore the meticulously crafted level design and the mind-blowing creativity of the Morphings.

Art of Vengeance is a title capable of redefining what a 2D action platformer can offer today. Lizardcube succeeds once again, blending technique, style, and pacing with a mastery that captivates both longtime nostalgics and those approaching the Oboro Clan for the first time.

Gradius Origins is a celebration, an act of love for an era when every token was a gamble between you—a clumsy kid—and the universe itself.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a love letter to 2D action platform games, fusing arcade heritage with modern solutions and a kick-ass mise-en-scene. Short but dense, the game manages to impress with inspired design gimmicks, fiery direction and two protagonists perfectly integrated into the gameplay. The challenge is not brutal at first, but those who want to go further will find bread (and katanas) for their teeth. A return in style for a legendary saga - and a damn promising taster in anticipation of the real Ninja Gaiden.

Unfinished Business isn't a disaster, but it's not something that will stick in the memory of RoboCop fans either. It's a conservative expansion, simply replicating on a smaller scale what worked in the base game, without adding enough personality to make it a must-buy.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is the perfect example of how a minor classic should be brought back to life: without distorting its identity, but updating it with intelligence, respect and a healthy dose of courage.

The combat system, with the Brave/Default dynamic, remains one of the most successful inventions of the genre, while the writing and the sekaikan manage to enhance even a story with initially familiar traits.

Street Fighter 6: Year 1-2 Fighters Edition arrives on Switch 2 with a surprisingly solid porting, keeping the 60fps fluidity intact and making the experience extremely enjoyable on the go. With all the characters from the first two seasons already included, and a truly convincing pad in hand experience, it proves to be a worthwhile purchase for those who want to train or have fun anywhere, albeit with a few technical stumbles in the World Tour and unsuccessful secondary features.

The fast and fluid gameplay, combined with a decent customization of the Mobile Suits and a large roster of mechs, constitutes the beating heart of a title capable of entertaining for hours. However, the sparse and fragmented narrative, aimed almost exclusively at long-time fans, and above all a frustrating and poorly calibrated lock-on system, significantly slow down the potential of the game.

At the moment, it seems more like a collection for nostalgics and collectors than a platform on which to build a new online scene, but Capcom has shown that it knows how to listen to the complaints of fans and who knows, maybe Capcom vs. SNK 2 could free itself from the chains of that wicked revision very soon .

Doom: The Dark Ages is an exciting evolution of the franchise, capable of surprising with its more structured narrative approach and gameplay innovations, without losing the brutal and metallic identity that has always distinguished the saga.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves isn't just a successful comeback: it's a love letter to long-time fans and, at the same time, a great entry point for newcomers. With deep yet accessible gameplay, inspired art direction and an avalanche of content for all modes, SNK signs off one of its most convincing works of the modern era. There's still the tightness of the online section and the weight of certain unpopular choices in the roster to be tested, but the heart is there, and beating fast. South Town is alive again.

Monolith Soft brings back one of Tetsuya Takahashi's most unique JRPGs, originally buried in the depths of Wii U. The absence of the GamePad is amply compensated for by new content and enhancements that refine both the pace of the confrontations and the narrative experience, making the adventure even more immersive. Living up to its name, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is the best way to lose yourself for countless hours among the wonders of Mira.

Rise of the Ronin on PC reconfirms the strengths pointed out when it arrived on PlayStation 5: a perhaps too clichéd open world structure is revived by a satisfying combat and progression system against the backdrop of a convincing and exciting narrative set during one of the most peculiar periods in Japanese history. The technical limitations encountered on the SONY console are thankfully a bad memory, and this unremarkable element makes this new incarnation the ideal choice for venturing into the Bakumatsu era.

Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most exciting games of recent years. It further polishes the winning intuitions of Monster Hunter World and grafts them into a living, changing open world to deliver a first-rate synaesthetic spectacle in the most successful instalment of the prestigious Capcom series. Repetitive by its very nature, but if the exquisite arcade action grabs you there's no escaping it.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is not perfect. It tries to make up for the dastardly mistakes made by the Sigma series, but it succeeds only partially and fails to replicate that perfect intensity that Tomonobu Itagaki managed to get right in 2008. It remains, however, the best version of the game currently available on modern systems, thanks in part to Unreal Engine 5, which enhances its aesthetics to excellent levels. It may not be entirely worthy of the Black suffix, but this Ninja Gaiden 2 still deserves your attention as you await the fourth chapter.

The rebirth of the Musou dynasty starts with Dynasty Warriors: Origins. A greater emphasis on duels against officers and bosses combines with better management of battlefield resources to give Tecmo Koei's armies a new soul. Not being able to directly impersonate its legendary heroes weighs a bit and the absence of a multiplayer mode almost feels like an affront, but nevertheless this is the restart the series needed.

There's a Shakespearean love story that has cursed a village, a wayward king waiting for the right opportunity to get rid of the crown, a fantasy world modelled on our own, and a story that has decisively influenced Japanese fiction: Dragon Quest III is an invaluable piece of history, and this remake is the best way to play it. Provided you are able to stomach a dose of antiquated mechanics.
