Similarly to its predecessor, Boltgun 2 is a solid old-style shooter that is consistently good, but never excellent.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse marks a convincing return to Konami's storied series, striking a happy balance between exploration, challenging combat, and a movement system that provides some of the most satisfying gameplay of the entire adventure.

It is a fantastic blend of *Burnout* and *F-Zero*, enhanced by roguelite elements that are not only unobtrusive but actually raise the fun factor to another level.

Ratatan builds on Patapon's legacy and innovates with more intense action: the protagonist moves freely, while musical commands guide Cobun's army.

The Kingdom Hearts Collection I–III gathers nearly the entire "Seekers of Darkness" saga and serves as an excellent entry point for those who have never followed Sora and his companions. Conversely, those who have already completed the journey on last-gen consoles are unlikely to find reasons to experience it all over again.

The atmosphere and characters spawned by Clive Barker's imagination are beautifully rendered, and the game has no qualms about showing extreme events uncensored.

Dark Arisen doesn't completely overturn Dragon's Dogma 2, but it seems to know where to focus to enhance its strengths.

The Coalition modernizes movement and cover mechanics without sacrificing the series' hallmarks-such as its sense of weight and brutality-delivering a spectacular campaign, a Versus mode that intelligently revives old-school multiplayer, and Horde Siege, an ambitious and compelling evolution of the classic Horde mode. Add a top-tier technical presentation to the mix, and the score speaks for itself.

Today, the structure seems repetitive, the rhythm mechanical, and the difficulty less calibrated than nostalgia would have us remember .

It's The Witcher 3, complete with its two excellent DLCs: Blood and Wine, stronger in terms of sheer content, and Hearts of Stone, stronger on an artistic level. The remastering work is precise, aside from a few minor stumbles, mostly involving the menus. It's genuinely hard to pass up, especially considering we'll need to be ready for Songs of the Past.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn't waste time chasing a realism that isn't its forte.

You get in for the combat, but you stay for the feelings. The story is super rich with moments of pure emotion, and the new weird features of the Remedy-verse are something special.

SiN Reloaded retains the core of the original: expansive levels, alternate paths, terminals to use, and choices that can impact subsequent missions.

Townfall had the potential to stand alongside the best *Silent Hill* titles: a powerful story, three ordinary characters bound by a dark destiny, a setting tailor-made for an unsettling atmosphere, and established gameplay mechanics that required no major overhaul. However, something went wrong in the execution; the result is a horror adventure that starts strong—introducing a few effective new features—but eventually loses momentum. It is hampered by unconvincing mission and level design that leads to long, exhausting stretches of backtracking, further plagued by a roster of enemies that often falls short and relies on "cheap tricks."

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a huge, ambitious installment that's initially difficult to pin down. The four stories, shared progression, and the multitude of systems revolving around battles take time to show how everything is connected, but once they do, it's hard not to get swept up in the choral narrative.

Milestone's Hot Wheels series embraces the open-world format and plunges us into a quartet of islands filled with races to win and activities to complete, all while collecting over 150 different mini-cars. The gameplay progression isn't particularly rewarding, and after just a few hours you've seen everything the game has to offer, but the thrill of collecting and the online component still manage to keep the player engaged.

It pains me to be this harsh but The Alighieri Circle is simply not a great game. It does work from beginning to end and some of the artwork is very pretty, but the story is disappointing and the puzzles are barely worth of being called that.
