It’s great that the game retains the nostalgic feel of '90s Hong Kong, but the gameplay itself feels like something from console generations past. While it may not suit everyone, those with the right taste might still find it unexpectedly enjoyable.

COD: BO6 presented its own answer regarding the direction of the single-player campaign that had continued for several years. While I'm quite satisfied with it, the narrative within feels lacking. It may not be the best Call of Duty, but it has the potential to be the best among its predecessors in the series.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure offers not only a wonderful opportunity to follow Max's story as an adult but also hints at a broader expansion of the universe. However, it’s uncertain if this will align with what fans have been hoping for. Like a double-exposed photograph, excitement and apprehension intertwine.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms series has been beloved for nearly 40 years, but it has now reached a point where a groundbreaking transformation is needed to attract more gamers. A remake of the 8th installment would be a suitable first step towards this transformation, creating a game that is both easier to play and more immersive.

This newly reimagined Silent Hill 2 after 23 years comes with modern systems while preserving the unique atmosphere and emotion of the original. Although there are some technical issues, it is more than enough to captivate both fans of the original and newcomers alike with the eerie charm of the fog-covered town.

For over a year, Diablo 4 has been striving to understand the hearts of gamers, and this expansion pack is its first test. While there are positive changes in many areas, it still doesn't seem to have fully created a sense of connection with the players.

Maintaining a live service for 20 years is challenging enough, but continuously improving and showing a better version over that time is even harder. World of Warcraft has achieved that difficult feat, and even with the release of its 10th expansion, it continues to evolve.

'FrostPunk 2' has an irreplaceable charm. The distinct feelings of bleakness, solitude, and the desperate struggle for survival remain unparalleled, just as in its predecessor. The larger scale of the city, the conflicts arising between communities within, and the weighty decisions required to manage and mediate these tensions create a unique and engaging experience.

The attempt to expand the "Dead by Daylight" universe with Supermassive's unique touch was a promising idea. However, the various issues within the game show that the synergy between these two talented developers didn’t fully reach its potential. Fans might find it worth a try, but for others, it may not leave much of an impression.

I'm not just saying Astrobot is a great game because it's fun as a platformer, or because it's full of PlayStation nostalgia. The real reason lies in how every element of the game is focused on delivering the 'pure joy of gaming'. Every aspect points in this direction, making it stand out as a truly remarkable experience.

This is an excellent action title that captures the essence of being a Space Marine. The visceral thrill of shooting, slashing, and destroying everything in your path is incredibly satisfying, and the intriguing lore is expertly woven into the core gameplay. Although the AI can be somewhat lacking, and there are a few bugs and a slightly limited number of missions, the title's strengths far outweigh these minor drawbacks.

The game offers enough fan service to satisfy the original fans, making it worth the money. The visual quality is excellent, and the story is decent. However, the downside is that the game lacks content for a party game. While the quality of each mini-game is not bad, the repetitive nature makes it easy to get bored after a while

Unfortunately, 'Star Wars Outlaws'doesn't fully break away from the familiar formula of a Ubisoft-style open world. While the repetitive gameplay and excessive stealth elements are disappointing, the game succeeds in delivering the joy of the Star Wars IP through an accessible story that anyone can enjoy.

While Visions of Mana presents a fantastical world brought to life with vibrant colors, the story's lack of depth makes it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the game, and the slow combat tempo and repetitive sequences until the mid-game are drawbacks. Despite these issues, the game is held together by its charming characters that keep you engaged until the end.

The game prominently showcases its distinctly Chinese story and visuals, and it nails them perfectly. The stunning action sequences that unfold within these beautiful scenes keep you constantly engaged, driving you relentlessly toward the next chapter, the next boss, the next item, or the next transformation—always eager for what’s coming next.

Sixteen years after the release of its predecessor, the new World of Goo 2 remains remarkably creative. With a solid foundation, the game has successfully introduced intricate new mechanics. The addition of sticky liquids and changes in the narrative enhance the overall experience, making the game even more impressive.

This game successfully captures the noir aesthetic of 24th-century New York with high-quality visuals, and its unique themes and narrative maintain a strong grip until the end. However, the core investigation parts of the gameplay are quite linear, leaving little room for player curiosity or creativity.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a striking strategy action game with vivid art style. It uniquely blends the strategy and action genres in a balanced manner. Additionally, by incorporating action mechanics into the traditional rules of a defense game, it offers a much more dynamic and engaging gameplay experience.

While the game functions well enough thanks to its proven system and solid foundation, it still shows some shortcomings in various aspects. These can be understandable considering it is still in pre-season, but the game needs to demonstrate something significant in the next update to prove its long-term service potential.

An already near-perfect game gets a 30-hour expansion with this DLC. Adding a wealth of new stories within its mysterious world, 'Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree' will also challenge you with its formidable difficulty. The newly added equipment further enhances the enjoyment of the base game.
