With a charismatic voice cast, vast upgrade system and a fascinating mysterious world, Pacific Drive is an experience that is unique in every aspect. I personally have never played anything like it. Similar yes, but like this experience, never. The idea of creating a game based on roadtrip films with a mystery and horror aspect, combining elements of survival and crafting was an assertive choice. The debut of Ironwood Studios is a great success and made me extremely curious about the developer's future works.

Despite some failures, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II stands out as a captivating horror work, offering fascinating characters (both alive and dead) in a well crafted plot. Though the gameplay can be exhaustive in some of its aspects, the sinister atmosphere and intriguing plot balances out its shortcomings.

Even with some issues, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft still is a good collection that makes Lara Croft's origins more accessible in the current platforms, especially for those who already experienced these adventures before, and adds beautiful visuals. However, new players will still have to handle the difficulties of Lara's gameplay and the obtuse level design. For those people, Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Multi) remains a better entrypoint.

With drawn-out battles, scary internal menu designs, and a terrible online system, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is probably one of the worst experiences I've had this year, and in fighting games in my entire life. A shame indeed, as I'm a big fan of the source material and would love to see it receive the quality and success that other Bandai Namco releases have had in recent times. Unfortunately, it wasn't this time.

After a long wait, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finally came out, bringing an excellent story, competent audiovisual production, and solid gameplay. The issue is that the short campaign is followed by repetitive challenges and the game's mechanics are relatively simple. The experience is worth it for fans of the looter shooter genre and the DC universe but only with updates and relevant new additions will it be a good recommendation for the general public.

The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection has two titles that had the opposite trajectory of old ports, and both are pretty fun. If they had been released back in the 8-bit classic era, they wouldn't be beneath [the other classics] and people would definitely dispute it in the rental shops during the weekends.

Omurice Next Time is a simple but competent work. By representing the microcosm of a couple with no big ambitions, Griffin Cyan gives us a very comfortable and fun slice-of-life. For anyone interested in a dose of cuteness and warmth, this is an easy recommendation.

In Phantom Abyss, the search for relics in mysterious ruins offers a captivating experience, but not without challenges. The intriguing gameplay and asynchronous multiplayer add interesting layers to the narrative, even if it is quite simple and not very standout, while progression through the Abyss and Adventure modes provides a welcome variety that can please different player profiles. However, some limitations, such as layout reproduction, steep difficulty curve, and unobtrusive soundtrack, may impact player complexity. Quirky iconography, while it contributes to a unique atmosphere, can require an additional learning curve. A contained but still interesting adventure.

Thus, the game makes a fluid transition like a humble invitation for the more traditionalist player, showcasing how this mode can be very fun.
