An awkward fusion of dating simulation and action. Though the attempt to combine two vastly different genres at opposite ends of the spectrum was innovative, it does not seem to manage a seamless integration. The dating simulation part was surprisingly better than expected, ironically leaving a sense of disappointment.

The game reinterprets classic JRPGs in a modern way. Instead of trying something entirely new, it brings together some of the great systems of classic games that were previously well-received. While combining different systems into one game is undoubtedly impressive, it falls short of delivering something more innovative and enjoyable, which is a bit disappointing.

Compared to Bethesda's previous works, there seems no major innovations have implemented, and the empty space and perplexing UI can be stumbling blocks. Even though, it is true that the game does offer various sources of enjoyment as an entirely new universe. Once you get past the somewhat uninspiring initial stories, you might discover yourself playing the game without realizing how time flies.

The epitome of street-action romance, showcasing dazzling moves and graffiti as it races throughout the city. The stylish action perfected by intuitive controls is also complemented by outstanding scores. However, story without context, bothersome random enemies and not so intuitive UI tend to hinder the immersion.

It is impressive that the game combines the exploration of the meticulously crafted underwater world with a message of environmental protection. But, it's a bit disappointing that the main story was not easy to immerse due to bugs scattered everywhere, even though it is the core content of this game.

'Blasphemous 2' stands out with its surreal art direction and eccentric imagination. The map design unfolds through epic boss battles and a gradually expanding world. The introduction of three new weapons adds depth to the gameplay action, while exploration and challenges contribute to its excellence within the realm of modern metroidvania.

A groundbreaking catalyst for popularizing mecha action. While various considerations have been added to allow even beginners who haven't experienced the series to easily get started, it's important not to forget that it's still rooted in the 'Armored Core' essence.

mimimi games successfully weaved fantasy and magic into pirate's age. While the UI and mission structure is a bit disappointing, unique art and attractive sound design, as well as strategy features with various sailors are making it a higher standard for 'stealth strategy' game.

It's basically a game that recalls the real joy of RPG that people forgot. In Baldur's Gate3, you can do pretty much everything as much as however you like. At the end of the game, the only thing left there was simply a gratitude to Larian Studios for making this exceptional journey.

Pikmin4 successfully inherited the franchise's unique characteristics. While the game lowers entry barrier by deleting the time limit for main missions, its new contents are also making the whole experience deep and rich.

Remnant2 can be summarized as a game that embodies almost everything that gamers who enjoyed the previous work wished. The joy of combat is now much deeper, and there are various ways to build your own play style. However, the absence of cross-play which was possible in the previous game and a bit low-quality optimization left us a bitter taste.

The latest title in the Kingdom series, reconstructed in the retro vibe of the 80s. Visuals and musics resemble the scene from the 'Stranger Things' are quite attractive. Though it is a bit regrettable that the overall system is similar to the previous game, and the amount of content is a bit too short except for the addition of fellow NPCs.

It is an attractive game with a unique narrative that unfolds in the smudgy, Lo-Fi Style and sloppy but tight gameplay. However, options that are not accessible enough compared to the previous game and dizzy structure that some clues are meaningless make the game feels more empty than ever.

Dave the Diver shows a perfect connection between two genres, Adventure and Tycoon. While adventure element is deep, Tycoon part gives a speedy, hectic fun. On top of that, well handled B-rated vibe, attractive characters, and various mini-games are creating a synergy throughout the game play.

While Bloober Team has achieved immersive visual enhancements through Unreal Engine 5, the game itself did not deviate from the original 'Layers of Fear' series. If you cannot be satisfied with enjoying the game's expanded madness within a single title, it will simply feel more like a definitive edition.

A top-down, real-time strategy that successfully implemented the tension unique to the well-known franchise. Except for the overall clunkiness, the game's combat system with tough resource management provide both immersive gameplay and a bit of horror.

An epic that closes its magnificent ending in a single piece. You can still feel and sense the taste of its creators, Naoki Yoshida and Creative Business Unit 3. Even in both strengths and its flaws.

Amnesia: The Bunker focuses on horror element while it relieves the burden of storytelling side. The overall ambiance of staying together in the bunker with mysterious monsters in the dark is well suited. In particular, the creepy sound effects such as monsters' howling and echoes in the cave did a great job holding the tension throughout the game.

Street Fighter 6 is an undisputed masterpiece. From beginner-friendly game design to distinct visual combined with heavy hitting sensation, the overall experience was near perfect. In particular, World Tour mode gives you the unique feeling of Final fight meets GTA, have proved itself as a key content with respect for the original characters, tutorials and fun.

While the fusion of Diablo franchise and the open world sounded rather unfamiliar at first, the game has succeeded in capturing the charm of both. You can't say the game is perfect as of its initial release, Diablo4 still is one of the strongest quarter view action RPGs.
