Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a great fighting game, one of the best this generation, with flashy combat and easy to play but hard to master gameplay, that is unfortunately a bit held back by a lackluster single-player offering.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a solid but safe remake of the timeless classic shooter. Fans of the original should probably not expect too much out of this revisit, but longtime PlayStation fans can now experience one of the most influential FPS campaigns of all time on Sony's platform.

Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok is a meaty expansion with 30+ hours of content that makes an already great game even better and easy to get into for newcomers, although the new roguelite mode is repetitive and could use a bit more content.

Pragmata is a great new IP for Capcom that mixes hacking and shooting in a really innovative combat system that doesn't overstay its welcome and keeps things fresh, although spongy enemies and repetitive scenarios hold the full experience back.

Homura Hime is an interesting addition to the hack and slash genre with an appealing artstyle and a fun combat system that aims to mix pure fighting and bullet hell elements, making the game really frenetic and satisfying to master.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a safe and superficial remake that's just another way for SEGA and RGG to release their anual Yakuza/Like a Dragon game. I do not recommend buying this its lackluster Dark Ties expansion, but, if you've never played Yakuza 3 before, this is not a bad way to do it, even if it's growingly clear that when Toshihiro Nagoshi left the studio in 2021, the series' creativity left with him.

Resident Evil Requiem celebrates the 30th anniversary with one of its best entries yet, mixing the survival horror gameplay of Grace with guns blazing action of Leon without ever either overstaying their welcome, being a must for any fans of the franchise.

Nioh 3 is another Team Ninja home run when it comes to action combat in video games, this time with a new system that lets players choose between the strength of a samurai and the agility of a ninja, unfortunately it's held back by a middling narrative and my experience was dragged down by tons of crashes and bugs.

Shinobi Art of Vengeance is a masterclass of a Metroidvania that delivers on every front, especially the combat which is both easy to play but really hard to master, making it really satisfying.

Ghost of Yotei is a masterclass in open world design that excels at making the player addicted to it with thorough exploration coupled with fun combat and a great story lead with Atsu, one of Sony's strongest protagonists in a long time.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds is a return to form after a disappointing predecessor, bringing inter-dimensional travel to the race track and the result is an extremely fun title with a surprisingly vast amount of content to enjoy.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a solid game that's sure to surprise JRPG fans with it's addictive evolution system and combat. While Digimon fans know by now that this might be the best entry in the franchise yet.

Lost Soul Aside is a game that not only failed to meet any expectations built in the years since its announcement, but also failed at achieving the bare minimum quality I'd expect from a game like this, a decent combat system doesn't make up for everything else being a disaster.

Death Stranding 2 streamlines a lot of the first game's rough edges, and with Kojima's typical twists and turns is makes for an overall good game. But I can't help to feel a bit disappointed at how safe this sequel was played, this streamlining removed any kind of challenge or obstacles in the game and made up for a less interesting experience overall.

9 years of shadows is a visually stunning game with amazing pixel art and a great soundtrack that employs some unique gameplay ideas, but their execution leaves a lot to be desired and the game remains more of a "what could've been".

The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a treat for fans of the anime, giving us the pedigree experience CyberConnect2 has been delivering for years with all their games and refining what was already good in the first game, although it still has a rather lack of meaningful content

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is a return to the series' roots and the result is a fast paced action platformer with gorgeous pixel art and incredible boss fights that really test your skills while never feeling unfair.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a breathtaking 3D platformer that somehow takes what already made Super Mario Odyssey incredible and builds upon it with an open ended nature focused on destruction that is both fun and addicting, coupled with some amazing challenge rooms and puzzles that blew me away with their creativity.

Mario Kart World marks the beginning of a new console generation for Nintendo, and with it come several new introductions like Free Roam and Knockout Tour, with the latter being an amazing game mode. That said, some strange design choices in the grand prix and a lack of meaningful content at launch make the price point hard to recommend it outside of the console bundle.

While Pirate Yakuza's combat can be fun and its story has some comical moments, it's a mediocre game with barely fleshed out mechanics in a forgettable entry to the Like a Dragon series, the annual releases fatigue is setting in and my interest on RGG's main series is sadly decreasing with each one of these games.
