If you’re really in the mood for some R-Type, you’d be better off picking up R-Type Dimensions EX, which includes remakes/remasters of the first two games. R-Type Dimensions III was launched in a somewhat premature state, with some serious issues in terms of communication with the audience, leaving fans expecting to find both a new 3D version and the classic experience in all its glory.

A title well worth the attention of anyone who enjoys traditional RPGs but is also curious about more contemporary approaches to storytelling. It does not bring anything new on the table, but it makes a conscious effort to blend classic genre elements with a more modern sensibility, resulting in a simple and approachable experience enhanced by an engaging sci-fi narrative and aesthetic.

The only type of player who should consider buying Traysia is someone who enjoys retro experiences regardless of how dated they may feel today. European players never had the chance to play it on the Mega Drive back in the ’90s, so if you’ve been longing to finally experience it, you can jump in without hesitation. If you’re determined to play every JRPG ever made, by all means, go ahead and pick up Traysia. Otherwise, there are far better options in Ratalaika’s catalog and at a similar price point.

A must-buy for anyone looking for an original and perfectly polished experience. The adventure itself lasts no more than 10 hours, but completing the game unlocks a new weapon, a new mode, an additional difficulty level, and, of course, the inevitable New Game+. As a result, there’s enough content for at least 25 hours if you want to experience everything the game has to offer.

Calm and measured, Starfield is unfortunately a less impactful journey than the adventures of the Dragonborn, and it’s disappointing to see its sense of epic scale sacrificed on the altar of realism. Setting aside the aspects that drag the experience down, there are still some enjoyable elements to be found in Starfield, and some players will undoubtedly appreciate it more than others.

I’d be inclined to recommend it to fans of the anime and manga who feel they can stomach a game that has aged poorly, but I’m not sure how much love for Hojo’s work can really justify paying the aforementioned price, which is simply too high for what’s on offer.

Although I consider myself a true retro enthusiast, I’ll admit that I had barely even heard of half of the games featured here, and I had played fewer than a third of them in the past. As a result, it was genuinely interesting to fire up these titles from the Cenozoic era. It may not live up to the third collection in terms of the overall quality of its games, but it does contain a few gems that are sure to surprise you. From a preservation standpoint, it’s definitely worth the price of admission.

The collection is primarily aimed at Marvel superhero fans, especially those who grew up with these games and still feel nostalgic for titles from more than 30 years ago. Retrogamers who aren’t particularly invested in US comics can also give it a shot, since it still includes six games at a relatively affordable price. Younger players who are fans of the superhero genre, however, should proceed with caution, as X-Men: The Arcade Game may well be the only title in the entire collection they’ll genuinely enjoy.

There’s really no reason to play John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando instead of Helldivers 2, Warhammer: Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, or even either of the two Left 4 Dead games. The game works well enough in its individual parts, but an overly flat and generic design, combined with sprawling maps and a considerable amount of gameplay repetition, prevents it from really taking off.

The game is a masterclass in how to bring a classic back to life without compromising what made it special. The project goes far beyond a simple visual restoration, carefully reworking the narrative, gameplay, and atmosphere to deliver a version that feels in tune with the present day. Fans of the original may experience a bit of a shock as they have to relearn the basics, but it’s a small hurdle that ultimately leads to falling in love with a cult classic all over again.

Resident Evil: Requiem is a high-quality, polished title that manages to be enjoyable both as a survival horror experience and as an action game. If you haven’t played the recent entries or remakes but want to give Requiem a try, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed by the overall experience. Just be prepared for some drastic shifts between the sections featuring Grace and Leon, as well as some inevitable confusion when it comes to the series’ lore.

Nioh 3 is definitely a more action-oriented game and less of a Soulslike than its predecessors, thanks to the new Ninja mode and the open areas, which give the experience a significant boost. I believe ARPG fans really shouldn’t miss it. Team Ninja’s latest effort perfectly blends adrenaline-fueled action with character build customization, featuring refined gameplay that now feels like it has reached the series’ peak.

Despite the production following all the remastering standards we appreciate, I can only recommend Fighting Force Collection to die-hard retro gamers and fans of the franchise who remember the PlayStation titles with a sense of nostalgia and would like to revisit them on modern consoles. If you don’t fall into either of these categories, there’s very little here for you in this two games, which, it has to be said, were rightly forgotten.

Unfortunately, as well-packaged as it may be, the Earnes Evans Collection plays on an unwarranted nostalgia for three outdated games that, beyond their intriguing plot, never really had much else to offer. A testament to great unfulfilled potential.

The game is one of those experiences that could alienate some players while captivating others in a profound way. If you enjoy melancholic settings, subtly hinted-at stories that offer clues toward a broader understanding, and a sci-fi setting, then it might be right up your alley.

Recommended for all fans of action games looking for a title that isn’t particularly demanding at its core, but can be scaled up thanks to its selectable difficulty levels. If you’ve never played a musou game before, you can finally give the genre a chance without feeling lost. If you’ve played your fair share of musou titles, you might find a few new mechanics that add some extra spice to the experience. In short, it’s a game that’s practically tailor-made for anyone who loves a good action game.

Artistically, the game carries the lively, instantly recognisable look of Fairy Tail. You certainly should not expect elaborate animated sequences or cinematic cutscenes. The graphical presentation is simpler, but every character is animated with well defined sprites, and a good portion of the cards come with effects that give them a certain punch.

If the open world does not impress, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond shines in the various environments we explore on the planet Viewros, where you can feel that nostalgic air of the old Prime titles, with those desolate yet magical atmospheres that carry the player into an unexplored alien world.

The artistic presentation is one of its most recognisable elements. The game combines 2D sprites with restrained, rigidly geometric 3D environments, creating the sense of parallel worlds brushing against each other. The demon design is deliberately alien, built on chromatic distortions and unnatural movement.

Kirby Air Riders is enormous fun across all of its modes, and even losing feels less frustrating than in Mario Kart World, given the chaos that reigns supreme on the tracks, where competitive races can get very heated. Its party game nature gives everyone a chance at victory.
