I had a solid time with My Hero Academia: All’s Justice. It captures the spirit of the series, delivers flashy and strategic combat, and gives fans a chance to relive some of the most intense moments of the final arc. It feels like a celebration of everything that makes My Hero Academia special.
Even with those issues, I can’t ignore how much Code Vein 2 improves on its predecessor. The deeper focus on storytelling, the ambitious time travel premise, expanded combat options, and enhanced customisation all make it feel like a true evolution rather than a safe sequel. For me, this is the game I wanted the original to be.
It’s the kind of game that lingers in your mind after you put the controller down. You’ll think about its ending. You’ll debate what it all meant. And you might even feel the urge to go back in, either alone or with a friend, to see what you missed the first time. For fans of Little Nightmares, Limbo, or tightly crafted horror experiences that don’t overstay their welcome, Reanimal is absolutely worth your time. It’s short, sharp, and deeply unsettling in all the right ways.
It’s a visual novel that rewards patience, encourages replaying, and tells a story that lingers after the screen fades to black. If you’re a fan of narrative-driven games, even if otome titles aren’t usually your thing, this is one that’s worth checking out.
In the end, Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch 2 feels like the definitive version of an already beloved game. The core experience remains as comforting and charming as ever. The visual and performance upgrades make it nicer to return to, and the free 3.0 update adds enough new content to justify rebuilding old routines.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake has re-envisioned the classic game, delivering a much expanded upon but faithful adaptation of the Midgar portion of the Final Fantasy 7 story. Providing brand new twists and turns to the narrative and plenty of great character development. It’s likely still years away, but I truly can’t wait to see what Square Enix have in store for us in the next entry in this multi part remake of one of the greatest games of all time.
This is a long game, but it earns its length. It respects your time, rewards your curiosity, and offers enough depth to keep things interesting from start to finish. If you’re an Octopath fan who skipped Champions of the Continent, this is an excellent way to experience its world in a far more complete form. And if you’re new to the series, Octopath Traveler 0 is a surprisingly strong entry point, offering a rich, memorable adventure that lingers long after the credits roll.
By the time the credits rolled, I felt genuinely satisfied. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is not just a good sequel, it’s a confident continuation of the series that respects its roots while pushing forward. It’s gorgeous, atmospheric, mechanically rich, and filled with moments that reminded me why I fell in love with Metroid in the first place. After eighteen years, the wait could have easily ended in disappointment. Instead, Prime 4 proves that some things really are worth waiting for.
For newcomers like me, this collection feels like the ideal entry point into the Stories subseries. It captures the spirit of Monster Hunter while confidently carving out its own identity. If Monster Hunter Stories 3 is set to build on what these two games established, then the future of the series looks incredibly promising.
If you’re an existing player of these games, you’ll need to judge for yourself if the newly added content is worth a new purchase, as the DX versions of the games don’t come with an upgrade path and require a whole new purchase. But for newcomers like me, this Deluxe Pack is an ideal entry point. It showcases what makes the Atelier series special while delivering a cohesive, well paced experience from start to finish. Ryza’s journey is one of growth, friendship, and discovery, and it’s absolutely worth taking.
If you grew up on mystery games from the DS era or have a soft spot for slow-burning, story-driven investigations, this is an easy recommendation. Detective Instinct isn’t trying to reinvent the genre. Instead, it focuses on doing the fundamentals well, and in that respect, it delivers a compelling, memorable mystery.
Kirby Air Riders is not trying to be the next Mario Kart, and that is its greatest strength. It is weird, chaotic, sometimes frustrating, and incredibly fun once you meet it on its own terms. As a long delayed sequel, it delivers far more than I expected. It feels good to see this series finally get another chance, and even better to see it make the most of it.
If you already love Warriors style games, this is a solid entry. If you are a Zelda fan who wants more insight into the era leading into Tears of the Kingdom, this is worth your time. I had more fun with it than I expected, and it gave me a fresh angle on a world I thought I already knew.
If you love building sims or want something with more strategy than the usual management games, Anno 117 is worth your time. For me, it was a great introduction to the series and a smooth step into a more complex style of city building. It challenged me, taught me and kept me coming back. I am glad I gave it a chance.
This collection preserves the history of Dragon Quest while making it easier to appreciate for modern audiences. It gives new players a smooth entry point and longtime fans a chance to revisit the originals with fresh eyes. Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake celebrates the past without getting trapped in it. It respects what made these games timeless and adds enough new content to make the journey feel renewed.
If you missed it the first time, this remaster is a great way to experience it. If you played it on PS3, the improvements make it worth revisiting. Tales of Xillia was a standout in 2013, and on PS5 it proves that good characters and good ideas never really get old.
Possessor(s) is one of those games that sticks with you more for its moment-to-moment experience than for its overall plot. The story’s corporate-villain angle is serviceable but nothing new, what makes it special are the characters, the world, and the combat. Luca and Rhem’s journey from reluctant partners to something resembling mutual understanding gives the story its heart. The fast, stylish action and demanding boss fights give it its soul.
After some time with Jurassic World Evolution 3, I came away genuinely impressed. It’s not a radical reinvention, but rather a confident evolution of the formula Frontier has been refining for years. The new breeding and juvenile systems give the simulation a sense of life and continuity it was previously missing, and the improved creative tools and locales make building and customising parks more fun than ever.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is exactly the kind of comeback I wanted to see. It honors the series’ brutal legacy while confidently trying something new. The collaboration with PlatinumGames gives the combat a fluid, cinematic energy that makes every fight feel alive.
If you’re hunting for something atmospheric to play this Halloween that won’t eat your entire weekend, Little Nightmares III is absolutely worth your time. It might not keep you up all night, but it’ll definitely make you hesitate before turning off the lights.
