Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection succeeds at what it sets out to achieve with a collection, albeit it doesn't add anything exciting.
Scarlet Nexus succeeds in offering an interesting story and characters to establish its roots as an exciting new action RPG despite the overly anime aesthetics that are felt in its story as well.
Samurai Warriors 5 not only reinvents the franchise's wheel, but it also sets out a formula that should give the Warriors series fresh energy.
Psychonauts 2 will be remembered as one of the best sequels. It's an amazing adventure game with a great presentation and well-designed levels.
Life is Strange: True Colors is defined by well-written characters and a great presentation, but the plot suffers from a sluggish pace and a weak ending.
A new benchmark has been set for the franchise with Tales of Arise, demonstrating how refinement and dedication can raise a game to the level of its rivals.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a relaxing game with fantastic visual direction and fluid gameplay. It is a remnant of the past with modern touches in many ways.

The quality and enjoyment level of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania are decided by how much you enjoy the series, but one thing is certain: there will be no shortage of content.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles appears to be an attempt to satisfy series enthusiasts. To some extent, it is approachable and entertaining, but the story is mainly a rehash with no fresh content, and the versus mode, although enjoyable, could benefit from a broader character roster.
House of Ashes is the best entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology. It has taken its predecessor's weaknesses and offered an overall balanced experience this time around.
Fatal Frame was once a one-of-a-kind option in the realm of survival horror games, but that has long since gone. Maiden of Black Water is a modernized version that prioritizes graphics above quality and suffers as a result. It takes a lot more than a basic clean-up to make it work, but there's no denying it can be entertaining under the proper conditions.
Shin Megami Tensei V is a finely built JRPG with a flawless game design that stumbles in its story execution but makes up for it with its gameplay brilliance.
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker condenses the charm and specialization of the series DNA into a single expansion that will be regarded as one of the finest Final Fantasy storylines.
Rune Factory 4 Special was my first introduction to this series, which combines the farming simulation elements of Harvest Moon with a traditional action RPG, and suffice it to say, I greatly like it, despite its flaws.
Sifu is a must-have game for anyone who enjoys martial arts. It has a solid combat system, but its main disadvantage is a steep learning curve.
With Elden Ring, From Software has once again demonstrated why they are the masters of creating a brand new world with complex lore, engaging combat, and satisfying progression.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, while far from a flawless remaster, delivers one of the most adored games to current platforms, but it is at best a monkey paw type of wish fulfillment. Even the game's poor performance cannot disguise this brilliance.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a satisfying bundle that includes 10 classic games with a variety of options as well as online multiplayer.
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a dream come true for those who appreciate its value, but it lacks enough content to create a compelling purpose for someone to play through the games again.
