As a complete game, Ys X: Proud Nordics is among the best in the series. As a re-release, however, it leaves much to be desired.

Avowed leans on exploration and combat to deliver a highly enjoyable action RPG experience. Even though it simplifies some mechanics a bit too much, the game makes up for it with a solid story and a well-crafted world, making it especially recommended for fantasy fans who value adventure, freedom to explore, and a more straightforward pace, without unnecessary excesses.

Dark Auction attempts an ambitious move with certain themes, but due to its use of generative AI, its focus on an abominable figure, and its disjointed ending, it falls flat.

Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition offers in one package the charismatic main campaign and the In the Dark DLC. Even though the expansion doesn't bring significant changes to the gameplay, it doubles the playtime while maintaining the same playfulness of an epic make-believe play, takes us to an entirely new region, and increases the repertoire of movements with great agility, further transforming that world into a huge and lively playground.

Combining ingenious ideas with practical simplicity, Lovish has dozens of short stages that need to be played multiple times to uncover their various secrets. The vibrant music, the cynical comedy of playing as a petty knight, and the many references to the video games universe add extra charm to an adventure that is charismatic, silly, and will appeal to fans of retro action platformers.

Even underutilizing the rich narrative universe from which it borrows iconic characters, BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is simply brilliant, overcoming the sameness that the roguelite genre has been sinking into in recent years by betting on a sharp, dynamic, and adaptive gameplay system. The diversity of characters and the cycle of entry and exit strike a rare balance between temporary bonuses and permanent improvements, which becomes a genuine invitation to an adventure that, within the precepts of the genre, knows how to seduce, keep interest high, and reward the player.

REANIMAL represents a visceral and larger-scale evolution of the formula established by Tarsier Studios in Little Nightmares. While the title disappoints due to its brevity, it shines through its world design, which utilizes visual communication to guide the player organically through an intriguing horror universe. The experience is further elevated by an exemplary cooperative mode, featuring accessible options like Friend's Pass and local co-op.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is a unique, intriguing, and at the same time unfocused and frustrating experience. It's a difficult game to recommend, as I imagine a niche audience will love the title and ignore its worst quirks, while the vast majority will find themselves confused about what exactly the game wants to be.

Crisol: Theater of Idols is a good game with an interesting setting, beautiful graphics, and cool ideas, such as the combat system. However, it draws too much inspiration from established titles, especially Resident Evil 4.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma arrives as a very positive surprise and the renewal the series needed after the fifth game. The more dynamic management system, functional RPG mechanics, and a more robust bonding system work in perfect harmony, managing to correct the missteps of its predecessor and offering an addictive experience for both veterans and newcomers.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake that retains only a small essence of the original work. Despite being quite faithful to the story, some script decisions leave something to be desired, and the secondary content, with the exception of Daddy Rank, goes from something new to just "more of the same." Dark Ties is an interesting addition, but it could also have a better-developed story. On the other hand, the gameplay of both titles remains fluid and with fun new combat styles to master. The final experience is somewhat bittersweet, being a remake well below the original, but one that provides many hours of fun.

As the second Christmas title in the series, Hidden Cats in Christmas has different settings from its predecessor's and expands to all the scenes the mechanic of gradually coloring the completed sections. This has an ambivalent effect: it can be helpful in difficult moments, but it also ends up making the game too easy overall. In the end, Nukearts maintains the standard we already know and delivers another fun, relaxing, and well-made example in the unpretentious world of hidden cat games.

Nioh 3 evolves the series' formula with semi-open world maps and an even deeper and more dynamic combat system, maintaining challenging and highly satisfying encounters. Despite stumbles in the narrative, enemy repetition, and visual aspects, the gameplay remains the highlight of the experience, and should easily please fans of action RPGs.

While far from perfect, My Hero Academia: All's Justice smooths out some of the rough edges seen in its two predecessors, presenting a simple yet polished combat system for this type of adaptation. With rich visuals and great fidelity to the original material, the game stumbles on minor details, such as the camera and environment interaction or complementary exploration modes, but none of this detracts from the genuine fun of experiencing firsthand the conclusion of one of the greatest cultural products of the last decade.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is an incredible remake of a game that, despite criticism, always deserved more attention. From the excellent gameplay with the series' traditional DNA to the stupendous narrative, it's a must-play for fans of the genre.

Without any significant innovations, additions, or improvements that go beyond the norm, Fighting Force Collection carries with it, without compromise, the qualities, such as setting, simplicity, and objectivity of the purest digital beat 'em up; and the limitations of its time, visually and mechanically speaking, which will certainly bring a nostalgic smile to older players, but will hardly seduce subsequent generations.

Code Vein II is both an evolution in some aspects and a regression in others. The visual style gets lost amidst a problematic or unrefined engine for the genre. The story relies on good secondary characters, but offers very little beyond that. In the end, the open-world structure doesn't seem to have been the best decision for much of the design, and much of the game's quality lies in the simplified combat, even though there's a tremendous effort to make everything overly complex.

MIO: Memories in Orbit boasts spectacular visuals, a gigantic world, a unique atmosphere, and addictive gameplay. It demands patience and persistence, and not everyone will be able to handle the difficulty or the constant backtracking. But those who get into the spirit of it will find a profound, artistic, and memorable experience that easily ranks alongside the genre's greats.

Total Chaos is a survival horror game that shines with its old-fashioned, rust-hued atmosphere, but stumbles with repetitive maze design and a slow-burning narrative, where the biggest struggle is maintaining sanity amidst broken switches and tools.
