Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a successful remake that modernizes a classic with improved visuals and expanded gameplay, serving as a solid action-adventure for both veterans and new players. While minor, aged flaws remain, the title successfully elevates the 2013 original and sets a strong foundation for the future of the series.

Star Fox is exactly the comeback I was hoping to have in my hands. Nintendo didn't try to turn the series into something it was never meant to be. Instead, it chose to celebrate its identity, enriching it with modern production values, a more ambitious narrative, and top-tier audiovisual presentation.

Stonemachia is one of those games that manages to win you over more with its personality than with its technical execution. The Italian setting reimagined in a gothic key, the chess piece transformation system, and a top-tier soundtrack build a strong and recognisable identity.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is proof that Team Asano can move with surprising confidence even outside its comfort zone. Exploration is excellent, the game world constantly inspires a sense of wonder, and the system built around different time periods adds depth to every discovery.

Mina the Hollower is an action RPG that takes the best of Zelda, Castlevania and the Soulslike genre without ever feeling like a copy. Yacht Club Games builds a dense, challenging, incredibly smart and personality-driven adventure, capable of turning every screen into a continuous discovery.

IOI has crafted an excellent action-adventure game, with a strong focus on stealth gameplay, serving as the perfect launching pad for a rebirth of the 007 franchise in video game form. First Light works, there's no doubt about that. The story is compelling, Bond's new characterization fits perfectly with modern audiences (even if many longtime fans will probably dislike it), and the universe created by Ian Fleming has been treated with the respect it deserves, paying homage to it without ever feeling excessive while modernizing it where necessary.

Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is a very difficult experience to judge by traditional standards. It's not a simulator in the traditional sense, nor a structured management game: it's rather a laboratory of absurd situations, built around the player's creativity. When it works (and it often does), it manages to elicit genuine laughter thanks to intelligent writing and a brilliant use of nonsense.

Summarizing why Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a masterpiece in just a few lines is incredibly difficult. Warhorse Studios has not only improved every aspect of its predecessor but has also demonstrated that, with the right resources, it is capable of achieving greatness. The new chapter in Henry’s journey is a product of exceptional quality, with a commendable technical foundation, hardcore mechanics, and an abundance of thoughtfully introduced content. Is it a perfect game? Absolutely not—it’s still riddled with rough edges. However, these flaws pale in comparison to its sheer grandeur. In short, it’s a strong contender for Game of the Year, and based on its merits, we’ve decided to award it our highest honor.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is exactly what fans have been clamoring for over many years—a new installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with all its strengths and weaknesses. Despite the developers' efforts to rebalance many elements from the previous entries and provide a proper sense of satisfaction for those looking to improve, it remains a fighting game that leans more towards the “party game filled with brawls” genre than that of competitive, strategic fighting games. With over 180 fighters, each with three unique special moves of varying effects, balance has never been a priority for Spike Chunsoft... and that’s perfectly fine

If we look back at the very first moments when the Silent Hill remake was shown to the public, Konami and Bloober Team's gamble seemed doomed from the start. However, like in the most traditional of redemption stories, the Polish team has delivered one of the best horror experiences of recent years, while also proving to everyone that creating a remake 'faithful to the original work' is indeed possible. Silent Hill 2 is a love letter to the 2001 title, able to captivate new generations while offering just the right amount of novelty to those who adored the original version released for PlayStation 2

Enotria: The Last Song is a bittersweet comedy that could have made a lasting impact if it hadn't stubbornly insisted on being a Souls-like game. Jyamma crafted an undeniably intriguing world and demonstrated the ability to develop fresh and engaging ideas in terms of game design. Unfortunately, everything falls apart due to inexperience, as the foundations that support the game never prove to be as solid and polished as one would expect from a title of this genre. The result is a combat system that feels imperfect, clumsy, unbalanced, and trapped by the notion of delivering a "difficult experience just because the genre demands it."

Black Myth: Wukong is a perfect video game representation of the concept of Yin and Yang. For every element that amazes the player, there is an equally opposite one that brings them back down to earth. Nevertheless, this is an excellent debut for Game Science in the realm of AAA titles, as well as a well-crafted and enjoyable action game that can captivate and engross players for dozens of hours. Familiarity with "Journey to the West," the work that inspired it, allows one to appreciate the many nuances that show the developers' love for the original material. However, even without knowing the story of Sun Wukong, Game Science’s work is a title we recommend to anyone who enjoys action RPGs with a strong narrative component.

Setting an invasion of the undead, led by a ruthless pantheon, in an American Civil War context could be a good enough reason on its own to give Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn a chance. But if you add to this a gameplay that, although clearly inspired by its more famous counterparts, manages to present a handful of truly interesting ideas, then there are no real reasons not to try A44 Games' production at least once.

Rise Of The Ronin is not a missed opportunity but certainly not one of those exclusives that will be remembered for years to come, either. The excellent combat system crafted by Team Ninja, along with an engaging story that is respectful of the historical period used as a setting, make it an enjoyable game and, certainly, capable of beguiling fans of Ronin, Samurai and stories set in ancient Japan. At the same time, however, an obvious inexperience with the reference genre, coupled with an insufficient technical compartment.

Mario VS. Donkey Kong is an excellent re-release capable of properly debuting one of the most distinctive IPs in Nintendo's history. The "portable" nature of the production emerges very strong from the first moments of play, as well as, the moment you sit down in front of a monitor and start playing, the experience loses some of its magic by virtue of a strong redundancy of the proposed situations.

With Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Gemdrops has worked in the round on every aspect of the original 1998 game, giving JRPG lovers an indispensable production that everyone should play at least once.

I have been very conflicted about the damned "little number" to assign to Super Mario RPG, as this remake is an experience that, by some mysterious sorcery, is still very solid in multiple respects and capable of both bringing new players to an increasingly niche genre, appeasing old fans with a remake that does not distort the original work, and offering a very valid, compact and disengaged JRPG to fans of the genre.

Sonic Superstars, net of a few minor smears, is a little gem capable of restoring the two-dimensional series dedicated to SEGA's iconic blue hedgehog to its former glory.
