Matured action and an expanded gameplay experience characterize Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It can easily be considered a sequel that surpasses its predecessor. With a shockingly well-executed storyline that permeates the entire remake project, this game can truly be said to have made the four-year wait worthwhile.

Nov 24, 2023

A game that faithfully reproduces the emotions and sentiment of the original released on the Super Famicom. For old fans, it is a source of great excitement. However, there is a slight sense of regret due to its close-to-remaster approach, leaving some longing for a more comprehensive remake tailored for old fans.

Super Mario Wonder successfully elevated the already high standard of the side-scrolling platformer even further. The stage transformations brought by the Wonder Flowers are unpredictable, and consistently bring a smile to the player's face.

7.8 / 10.0 - Remnant II
Jul 26, 2023

Remnant2 can be summarized as a game that embodies almost everything that gamers who enjoyed the previous work wished. The joy of combat is now much deeper, and there are various ways to build your own play style. However, the absence of cross-play which was possible in the previous game and a bit low-quality optimization left us a bitter taste.

Biohazard RE:4 quickly put to rest any remaining concerns of remaking from its previous work. It is safe to say the game struck the perfect balance of action and horror, and deserves to be called as a RE: TPS Masterpiece. It is not sure that the game will recreate the glory of the original in the end of the year, but the fact that the game is one of the best titles in this year remains unchanged.

Metroid Prime Remastered is a perfect example of how we should deal with classic games to remaster. Almost every aspect of the game including visual, control and convenience have been improved. The only drawback of this surprise present for those who long awaited Metroid Prime 4 is that now they are going to need much patient for the 2nd and 3rd title to be remastered.

8.9 / 10.0 - Bayonetta 3
Nov 7, 2022

Bayonetta3 broke anew its own action that had already peaked by previous titles. While refining the existing combat system, the game also tried to expand by adding new elements. The addition of a new element can be felt awkward, but they all fit together as if they were there all along. However, it is hard to believe that this is the title to closes the original saga, especially where it shows the most clumsy story in the entire series.

7.5 / 10.0 - Lost Eidolons
Oct 14, 2022

A traditional SRPG which strategy and tactics are its key. It seems like the game deliberately chose the serious, heavy vibe over flashy visual. The game's graphic based on reality is surely a different, charming point among other anime-style SRPGs out there. However, that kind of seriousness can make someone to feel the game is too heavy, difficult to immerse in most characters or the story itself is too monotonous.

This is the best game for players who want to feel the impression of the original once again with improved graphics. It delivers the nostalgic impression we have all experienced beyond time with outstanding narratives and enhanced facial expressions of the characters. However, the fully priced game despite the same story in 9 years can make you think twice before buying it.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 once again proved why the series is one of the best JRPGs out there. While inheriting the strengths of its predecessors and converge them into its own uniqueness, it also did not put aside the original elements. However, somewhat boring sequence and endless TIPs at the beginning make the game hard to immerse yourself.

Mario Strikers Battle League is a game faithful to the term 'easy to learn, hard to master'. Everyone can enjoy it without any concerns due to its simple controls as well as the exciting visuals are easy on the eyes. However, the lack of game modes and characters can make the game easily tiresome for those who don't fancy about sports that much.

7 / 10.0 - Loot River
May 11, 2022

Puzzle element infused in action rogue-like genre stimulates the interest in many ways. The level design built on the core system such as manipulating Tetris-like scaffolds was also okay. However, the game gets dull pretty quick except for the puzzles because the only differentiator is just stepping stones.

"Pocky & Rocky Reshrined" is an indication of the series' successful revival. Delicately drawn characters and stages are more than enough to introduce a charming world of pixel art for those who are familiar with latest video games, As well as giving nostalgic memories for the fans of original game. However, the fact that no big changes were made from 28 years old original work and short playtime are a bit shameful.

The House of the Dead remake is characterized by a faithful embodiment of the elements of the original. However, it does not reproduce the sophisticated manipulation and immersion, which are characteristics of the gun shooting genre, so it stays in the remake as a rip-off of the original, not a remake beyond the original.
