Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is undoubtedly the definitive way to appreciate a true gem from the Nintendo GameCube. With several subtle changes that are very welcome, it's one of the most loyal remakes to the original I've ever seen, and at the same time a remake that fixes the many problems that affected the original.

Neptunia Sisters VS Sisters is the franchise's debut on Xbox consoles, and it's also my debut in this world. I feel like I've been greeted with a cozy game, full of charismatic characters and references to games. But also with some of the best combat ever made. I leave this experience satisfied with what I found and wanting to eventually explore more of what the series has to offer. And I'm happy to know that the game is increasingly being ported to more platforms and I hope that the main games can arrive on Xbox one day.

After loving the original Cupid Parasite, I had high expectations for the Cupid Parasite fandisc: Sweet and Spicy Darling. And yes: the developers at Idea Factory have managed to deliver a very entertaining experience, full of funny moments and at the same time, fun to read.

Aoi Tori's biggest problem is its narrative indecision, constant stumbling over its own themes, along with a boring story with no purpose and many pacing problems. Her cast, for the most part, also fails to captivate and engage the reader and doesn't create any bond with them. Aoi Tori fails in the main aspect of a visual novel, and although it has beautiful visuals, it's hard to recommend this story.

SaGa Emerald Beyond is a rollercoaster of feelings, despite the many problems I've had with it, it's a game I respect a lot and it has some very valuable things in it.

I went into this game expecting a frenetic, fun shooter with an old-school anime aesthetic and that's exactly what I got, but I got it in a very polished and well thought-out format.

Sand Land manages to adapt the universe created by Akira Toriyama to video games very well. It has beautiful visuals, magnificent scenery, lots of vehicles and charismatic characters. It's not a perfect game, as the pacing of the journey is inconsistent, the scenery is too large and many empty ares, and the non-vehicle combat is very uninteresting.

Stellar Blade is a good game that has a few mistakes, but overall has a very positive experience. If you manage your expectations, both good and bad, it's a game you'll probably enjoy playing.

Dragon's Dogma 2 isn't perfect, but its few flaws haven't taken away the impression that I've experienced one of the best open worlds I've ever seen.

Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions is a simple game, but it shows how important imagination is and through it we can try to overcome fears and problems we encounter in everyday life.

Unicorn Overlord is a game that I could spend hours on and still feel that I haven't praised or made it clear how good it is. It's one of those games that at first you don't expect to be so incredible and you end up wanting the whole world to know and appreciate what's in front of your eyes.

Reliving the story of Final Fantasy VII has been a powerful experience. Rebirth delivers a rollercoaster of emotions and surprisingly managed to impact me just as much as the original.

The Legend of Legacy: HD Remastered commits the greatest crime any audiovisual work can commit: the crime of being boring. Maybe it will find an audience for itself, especially SaGa players, but it didn't strike a chord with me.

A car, a delivery and a dream: to arrive safely. Pacific Drive is a weird fiction game for those who like systems and for those who don't mind spending as much time preparing as they do driving.

Whether with its human and dark stories, its fun building mode or its RPG aspect of world exploration with its secrets and objectives, the first Builders manages to build much more than just a solid foundation for its bizarre gameplay idea.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes is a sequel that builds even further on the foundation that the original established with its unique fighting dynamics and pace, and manages to bring some interesting novelties to the genre. It takes a very important step for the future of the series and French-Bread, and the visual improvements, accessibility and netcode rollback are very welcome.

Shiren The Wanderer's sixth journey is very close to its other five, but that's not a bad thing. In a series of games so refined and unique, it doesn't take much to please the fan who has been waiting almost a decade for a new opportunity to climb a dungeon and die a lot in the process. And while there is an attempt to give this game its own identity with new mechanics, it doesn't break away from its established formula - which will inevitably put off many players. As much as the behemoth system is disappointing and the difficulty curve can be strange, The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is still a very solid experience for previous fans of the series, and a decent gateway for anyone who wants to experience this amusingly twisted legend of Sisyphus.

And as a fan of indie games, I'm very pleased to see this type of game developed by Japanese, breaking away from the models of the big studios. As much as I'm a fan of the games produced by these studios, I also want to know more about the stories that small studios and developers have to tell. ghostpia was a pleasant surprise and I'm looking forward to the second season. Finding out what's beyond the dreams, if there's a home to return to...

Persona 3 Reload is a must for all fans of the series and a good entry point into the franchise. With its philosophical themes and touching, reflective messages, the title has become one of my favorite games of recent years.

Even with a few problems in the main story, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is one of the best games in the franchise and is extremely captivating.
