Although it caters to the desires of many fans and is a perfectly playable remaster that offers a very positive overall experience, the modernizations are quite modest, and many of the original issues persist. The bonus content is a welcome addition, but it falls short of being as accessible as it should be.

FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is the ultimate RPG by Hironobu Sakaguchi, thanks to its emotionally compelling and well-told story, captivating characters, creative and unique combat mechanics, and, of course, a wonderful soundtrack composed by Nobuo Uematsu. It is impossible not to recommend FANTASIAN Neo Dimension to any fan of the genre, as it is a must-play title for those who long for more classic JRPGs.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership delivers everything fans expect from a new game in the franchise: a solid use of the dynamic between the two brothers in its combat and exploration systems. Unfortunately, Mario & Luigi: Brothership falters by overextending itself, stretching its story beyond what's necessary with unnecessarily long dialogues and secondary content that, overall, does not significantly enhance the player experience.

Planet Coaster 2 is an excellent evolution of the first game in every aspect and still has plenty of room to grow over the years as more content and updates are released. However, it still suffers from some minor design mistakes and frustrating choices regarding guests complaints.

Lego Horizon Adventure is a fun game to enjoy with a friend, but it quickly becomes tiresome when played solo. Additionally, it missed the opportunity to make better use of the franchise’s storyline and is filled with silly, unfunny jokes, even for its target audience.

Even with some missteps and controversial design choices inspired by Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard paves the way for a triumphant return for BioWare, delivering the studio's best-written final act and one of the best in the entire industry. The main flaws lie in a few tedious moments in the early hours and an unnecessary amount of side quests that bloat the game.

EA SPORTS FC 25 brings tactical and visual improvements, delivering smoother gameplay and more intelligent artificial intelligence. Graphics are even more realistic thanks to Hypermotion, and the new "Rush Mode" guarantees fast-paced and strategic matches. Ultimate Team and Career Mode have also evolved, including major women's football leagues. For die-hard fans, it's worth the investment, but more casual players may prefer to wait for a sale.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is an excellent option for those who haven't yet experienced the game, allowing them to enjoy it in its best version, and also for fans who want to relive Aloy's first adventure with a relatively affordable upgrade. However, aside from graphical improvements and enhanced NPC movement, it doesn't bring anything new, keeping practically the same strengths and issues as the original game.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is an excellent party game, offering game modes for up to 20 simultaneous players and 110 extremely varied and fun minigames, making it the perfect game to gather friends on the couch. Although some game modes may become repetitive, the attempt to bring different game modes, even considering a single-player mode, deserves recognition.

Just Dance stands out as a successful franchise in family entertainment, offering extremely fun dance sessions. The game is technically well-executed and its choice of target audience is spot on. Although I initially had difficulty understanding its concept, as I do not fit the typical player profile, looking at it from a fan’s perspective, I realized that Just Dance truly achieves its goal of providing fun and creating quality moments with friends. If you belong to this audience, the 2025 version will certainly delight you; otherwise, it might not be the ideal game for you. Still, it's a great option for those who enjoy having fun dancing.

The Lake House brings a satisfying conclusion to Remedy's Alan Wake 2 saga, offering an engaging story that blends elements of Control with Alan Wake 2's gameplay. While not without its flaws, particularly in its puzzle design, The Lake House is an essential piece of the overall Remedyverse narrative and a must-play for fans of Alan Wake 2 and other Remedy franchises.

Silent Hill 2 (2024) is a remarkable title, both in its original version and in the remake. This remake by Bloober Team brings a renewed experience in all aspects, which certainly adds a lot when it comes to telling the story. The gameplay has also been updated and is fun, although combat is more frequent than it should be. But overall, the experience is excellent and stands out as one of the best survival horrors of the generation.

For fans of the A Quiet Place franchise and horror game enthusiasts, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is an experience worth checking out. While the story is relatively simple, the constant tension and gameplay focused on silence are engaging and deliver a solid dose of adrenaline. The affordable price also makes it an appealing option for those looking for an alternative to more expensive AAA titles.

Overall, the biggest problem with Unknown 9: Awakening is that it tries to be bigger than its technical limitations—and budget—allow. While it genuinely tries to tell a good story, several small missteps end up getting in the way. The universe is solid, but it may be hindered by a mediocre game filled with performance issues.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is definitively Atlus Magnum Opus, bringing a new, extremely rich fantasy world, with unparalleled world-building and art direction, a thrilling story full of charismatic and very well-written characters. Along with that, the combat system is a natural evolution of what we've seen in Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, adding a new class system and real-time combat system, all drenched in the marvelous soundtrack composed by Shoji Meguro. Metaphor: ReFantazio can be considered Atlus 'greatest hits', bringing everything fans loved in their games in a single package, taking them to the next level and making Atlus and Studio ZERO a strong contender for the crown as the new RPG King.
