Signalis added a bit of freshness by delivering a unique, dark worldview with a classic system familiar to survival horror fans. Though there are some shortcomings that almost all aspects are predictable due to its adaptations from the past, It is certain that the developers wanted this way. For today's generation, it may be an opportunity to find out what kind of horror games their dads usually played.

The game inherits the unique points of its previous series, both in good and bad ways. It is true that you can easily find out several elements were recycled in the map and enemy designs, but doubled volume compared to the previous work and impressive main story line is compensating those issues. While the newly added "closing eyes" function plays an important role in the story, there seems much space for improvement in the actual system.

Is it because of the pressure of showing a better story than the previous work? They ended up with the story line that doesn't even add up and destroyed the plausibility between the characters, rather became a poor story compared to last one. However, high-quality shooting action and photo-realistic graphics that you expect from the series is still there, giving a genuine joy of FPS itself.

Despite quite a lot of changes, FIFA23 somehow feels much the same to its previous title. However, As the final title that uses the name of FIFA, the game seems like a stepping stone, preparing for the next bright future. By the way, training center for those who are not used to this genre was quite impressive.

A Plague Tail: Requiem portrayed tragic narratives into a game full of immersion. Improved graphics and systems are smoothly combined with the characters' expressions. The story of tragic siblings over the two titles, have successfully concluded.

The Last Oricru tried to balance its design between in-depth narratives of CRPG and Souls-like heavy action. On top of that, a world that is a mixture of myth, science and magic is also compelling. However, it becomes frustrating when you realize the shortcomings of Souls-like (no maps, no explanation) and the element of CRPG that every action affect the ending does not make a good synergy.

While the first title was also satisfactory, the evolution of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope is even more enjoyable. Strategic depth, world expansion, and hidden elements are all brilliantly implemented in the game. Ubisoft's attempt to depict Nintendo's unique humor was also plausible. This game can be considered as one of the best in many turn-based tactics games out there for Nintendo Switch.

Although there is a room for arguments, Scorn's art design seems properly portrayed the original intention of the game. It is also fun to digest the ending as the way you think. However, intuition-dependent puzzles and insufficient combats can make players easily quit the game before ending. The combination of checkpoints and dysfunctional combat is the scariest part of it.

With simple rules that you only need a few minutes to understand, Marvel Snap successfully delivers a compact, but full of fun deck-building experience. Though it seems many aspects of the game is based on randomness, that would not bother you that much since you can finish each game in about 3-minutes.

The of Lego Bricktales is solid and simple. It is that you can feel the joy of assembling Lego by playing a videogame. Also, it is highly immersive! However, even though it is a game that requires assembly, there are many aspects that are lacking in terms of convenience and controls.

A traditional SRPG which strategy and tactics are its key. It seems like the game deliberately chose the serious, heavy vibe over flashy visual. The game's graphic based on reality is surely a different, charming point among other anime-style SRPGs out there. However, that kind of seriousness can make someone to feel the game is too heavy, difficult to immerse in most characters or the story itself is too monotonous.

Ron Gilbert, who started the series, focused on continuing the adventure from Monkey Island 2. You can easily find out that his unique sense of humor remains still to date. Even though there are slight disappoints with art style and ending sequence, it is destined to be moved at the end of the game if you are a fan who shared the long journey of this franchise.

It's hard to build a tower, but it's really easy to break it down. Instead, you can check the areas that were previously unfortunate and build them stronger. It remains to be seen whether Blizzard and Overwatch will take this opportunity to showcase their great gaming services again.

A Valkyrie series transformed from a turn-based game into an action. While this changed system itself is not bad, terrible camera work is ruining the overall experience. More to that, repetitive gameplay structure and mediocre story are also disappointing. Don't have much choice but to look forward to a better Valkyrie title in the future.

Though it may seem like an homage to the famous japanese title, Soulstice is an action game with its own interpretation of the genre and gives a different type of joy. Its splendid visual and crisp action control enhance the overall experience. However, dizzy and limited point of views with repetitive backgrounds are the ones that hinder the immersion.

The attempt of adopting the element of a real-time tactical battle into a strategic RPG was good. While attractive characters and main stories are its strength, the narrative and approach to lead the story seem to fail to reveal its charm. More to that, individuality of the game's battle is faded due to systematic limits and there are few strategic elements. Despite these problems, you will be able to enjoy it if it suits your taste.

Grounded changed the ordinary backyard into an intense place where you can't see what's coming next by simply adding a concept of shrunk kids. The sandbox game with survival and variety of crafting elements is always fun whether you are playing alone or with friends.

Though some things have changed compared to the original, the game has the most common and universal gameplay among other Gundam-based games by thoroughly tailored skill and armament for FPS genre. However, jagged balances between mobile suits, poor matching mechanic and sloppy MVP systems seem to have a bit too many shortcomings even though they benchmarked other games in the same genre.

Showing a different approach from the existing action games, Serial Cleaners is a fun game filled with artistic visuals seem to be inspired by postmodernism and street art. However, the slow tempo compared to previous work and dumb Police AI are reducing the tension of 'infiltration'. Also, can't expect the replayability due to the lack of challenge mode.

While it is true that there has been no significant change compared to its previous title, the unique enjoyment and short, but intense game play of this particular franchise have become solid with few tweaks. In addition, the fact that it has been localized for the first time in the series is something worthwhile for Korean fans.
