Biohazard RE:4 quickly put to rest any remaining concerns of remaking from its previous work. It is safe to say the game struck the perfect balance of action and horror, and deserves to be called as a RE: TPS Masterpiece. It is not sure that the game will recreate the glory of the original in the end of the year, but the fact that the game is one of the best titles in this year remains unchanged.

The positive influence of games related to protecting endangered animals. While the concept of games that restore the natural environment is impressive, the weak interactions, repetitive and short volume make it difficult to immerse and enjoy.

The finale of the Atelier Ryza Series. With the rejoin of the original scenario writer, both story and the system side of the game have been positively improved. In particular, the Seamless Field gives you a great taste of exploration, while the real-time turn-based action combat adds excitement to the progress.

As its adaptation for Switch, the game presents variety of settings as well as the rhythm action well-fitted for joy-con environment. While the game is about a story of cute characters, the absence of tutorial and frequently changing note lane would be very challenging for beginners than it looks.

It turns out, light was not the only thing that has fallen in this new expansion. With disappointing story, the campaigns even feel like they were created for the fun of developers, rather than players. While these letdowns still interfere with overall immersion of the game, at least the new ability and revamped system are holding the expansion precariously.

Adding to the shooting element reminds the 'Enter the Gungeon', Patch Quest showcases a different, fresh action adventure each time you capture new monsters. While the game doe not support system guide and lack in rogue-lite elements, its quality as a top-down shooter is quite sturdy.

The developers of Octopath Traveler 2 have chosen to keep the elements of their previous game that emphasized the player's journey rather than individual stories. In addition, they have strengthened the gameplay mechanics to deepen each travel. Although there is still a lack of interaction in the storyline, the RPG's core theme of travel has been further strengthened.

Almost every aspect has improved from Team Ninja's previous work. The fantasy-infused story based on the Three Kingdoms complements core gameplay almost perfectly. On top of that, Its combat system has a distinct charm that entices players to turn their consoles back on immediately after turning them off.

Although there is still a strong fan base and a great concept, the game's completion is so poor that it is hard to believe that its release has been delayed for almost two years. In-game purchase elements that no one can understand further lower the value of the game.

A game suitable for those who loves Sci-Fi creatures. It delivers the concept of facing various life forms during an adventure throughout an unknown planet quite well. A shooting action which requires puzzle-solving brain work is also quite interesting. However, you need to endure the unnatural modeling, stiff animation and unreasonable level designs before all these charms.

An adventure with a classic JRPG-style combat and visual under the royal-road theme of 'a girl and monsters'. While the story can be seen as somewhat shallow and short compared to the developer's previous works, its emotional OST and compact storytelling with adequate visual have the power to pull the heartstrings.

It is still an enjoyable experience where you can build your own frontier with a relatively easy system. However, the entire process to win the game is too long and boring to aim for a shift to a competitive RTS. It is not easy to motivate the frontier exploring since pretty much all activities are for just military buildup.

Atomic Heart's fascinating settings and story, even combat systems are enough to attract worldwide gamers. However, be careful since the empty, lifeless open world is packed with bugs that hinder proceeding. Even the unfriendly UX is taking part in fading the charm of its strengths, the actual gameplay.

While fully utilizing its own zest of the series, the game added somewhat sophisticated single-player content called 'Grand Campaign'. Even though there's a slight wish for easier control, it is still a quality game to enjoy.

Though the game's story handles historical moments such as late Tokugawa Shogunate and Shinsen-gumi, but the understanding it won't be necessary since the game is focused on a person's drama. Instead, it is much more faithful to its core, 'Like a Dragon' than any other work out there. As the title of 'Kiwami' always has been, 'making a good use of previous work' without much change can be both an advantage and a demerit at the same time.

A VR game with gorgeous environmental view that brings out the performance of PS VR2 to the limit. While the eye-catching, fascinating scenery that represent Horizon Series is highly immersive, feeling for overall gameplay centered on climbing action can be different by one's taste.

As a new IP, destined to be compared to one of the world's most beloved hunting action franchise inevitably, 'Wild Hearts' seems successfully secured its own identity by composing an original system and open world.

Metroid Prime Remastered is a perfect example of how we should deal with classic games to remaster. Almost every aspect of the game including visual, control and convenience have been improved. The only drawback of this surprise present for those who long awaited Metroid Prime 4 is that now they are going to need much patient for the 2nd and 3rd title to be remastered.

A sequel that unravels the series' story with increased characters on the new planet. Except for the poor character modeling, which has a plenty of room for improvement, the game will deliver a memorable experience for those who would like to go on a story driven journey to Mars on their weekend.

Hogwarts Legacy has succeeded in presenting players a huge, mysteriously beautiful 'Hogwarts'. While the game expands the franchise's thrilling, magical experience throughout the Highlands, it did not forget the delicate touches for the original fans. It is safe to say that this is the game where the Wizarding World you've dreamed unfolds right before your eyes.
