If I could make one wish, it would be for Starsand Island to have spent a little more time in the oven. I was initially excited for the patches, as I really wanted to play a polished version of the game. After a few crashes forced me to replay entire days, boredom set in, and the title will have a hard time winning back my goodwill.

Among all its positive qualities, the greatest thing Brigandine Abyss did for me was reinforce my passion for strategy RPGs, delivering gameplay that demands dedication and time to process information—all while managing a map where territory was constantly expanding!

Puppergeist is a cute and charming “Rhythm Heaven”-like that does well what it sets out to offer. Keeping in mind the simple concept and the intentionally short experience, the game is a pleasant surprise that manages to be interesting and fun.

It is always difficult to evaluate the merits of a game that is hampered by technical issues. On one hand, there is the experience lying beneath all those problems, and there is a lot of good there; recognizing this means acknowledging the developers' competence in creating a solid, creative foundation for the game. On the other hand, when viewing games as products—given that there is a price to pay to acquire them—receiving a title marred by technical flaws does not seem like a good deal.

A good adjective to describe OVER REQUIEMZ would be “concise.” The game avoids wasting time establishing a complex world or secondary characters outside the chosen route, focusing almost entirely on the plot involving the love interest, the protagonist, and their relationship.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is the kind of game that might not click with some people, but for those with whom it does, it is one of the most unique experiences they will have in a JRPG.

In the end, Obakeidoro 2: Chase & Seek is a cheap, light game that doesn't demand too much commitment from the player. You can leave it alone on the Switch for weeks and come back when you feel like playing some quick matches without having to remember complex systems, like [you would for] Dead by Daylight.

Volcano Princess was a very enjoyable experience, delivering just the right amount of what makes older games in this genre so appealing to this day, while managing to make the experience even more casual.

sins of KALEIDO is a thrilling otome game thanks to its captivating cast of misfit characters with special focus on its protagonist, [who is] active and able to use and abuse what she has for the sake of her goals. Yolca's journey is filled with twists and enticing details, and it's one of AmuLit's most interesting titles so far.

If Pinocchio is driven by the desire to be real, the developers at Round8 Studio are driven to create a work that stands tall alongside its peers. The truth is, at times, they manage to surpass them.

Despite its flaws, this is the best video game ever released using the Avatar license—admittedly not a very high bar, but it sets new standards for future releases.

Constance is an experience that reflects, through its gameplay, how art can be used to consume our energy—but also how it can be used to replenish it.

Splatoon Raiders proves that the series can be much more than “just” a great competitive online game, and I hope this is the first of many single-player-focused spin-offs the franchise will bring us.

While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, this title invests heavily in immersive aspects, to the point of surpassing the usual quality of the Stardew Valley experience.

I am grateful for the existence of BLUE REFLECTION Quartet because, however flawed, it preserves worthwhile experiences that I had the chance to play. However, I wish the mediocre games making up this collection had received at least a third of the care and attention that Second Light did.

Being able to enjoy a game in a genre I love so much—and one of such high quality—makes me feel quite embarrassed that a series like Truxton completely flew under my radar over the years.

Culdcept Begins is an excellent way to dive into the universe of the digital board game franchise initiated on the Sega Saturn. The game's logic is very fun, giving players a lot of strategic options while also putting a healthy dose of luck in the matches.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is a great package with two fun titles from the franchise. FFX is one of the best classic games in the series and closes the more traditional era perfectly, while X-2, despite its weak narrative and strange premise, offers one of the most interesting and engaging combat systems in the series. The new Switch 2 version leaves something to be desired, but this is the best way to experience them on Nintendo's hybrid console if you haven't already bought the Switch 1 version.

At the end of the day, Tichelle and N.A.’s story ended up entertaining me in many ways, and the silly, somewhat "Zoomer" humor the series embraces really engaged me—I certainly didn't expect a Cory in the House reference, of all things. Unfortunately, a game can't survive on humor alone, and this one has aspects that make it hard to recommend—not just in a vacuum, but even to longtime Disgaea fans.

Overall, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is an excellent choice for fans of these digital monsters. It serves as a great entry point even for those unfamiliar with the franchise. The game features fun gameplay—with mechanics that encourage players to use the creatures they like best—alongside a fantastic story that culminates in a beautiful ending.
