After a 26-year hiatus, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves returns to conclude its unfinished saga. While the game suffers from limited single-player content and occasional visual shortcomings, these flaws are largely overshadowed by its superb (if unconventional) roster, captivating soundtrack, and thoroughly enjoyable gameplay, ultimately delivering a classic, satisfying experience for players.

While Capcom Fighting Collection 2 delivers an impressive package of eight classic fighting games with newly added online functionality - a testament to Capcom's combat variety - several titles show their age, holding back what could have been a flawless retrospective.

As someone unfamiliar with the Goblin Slayer franchise, I found this to be an entirely average game that offers no distinctive advantages over similar titles in its genre. Only diehard fans of the source material seeking comprehensive franchise coverage will find value here - all others would be better served by superior alternatives within the genre.

Age of Mythology Retold delivers a masterful blend of nostalgia and modernity, preserving the original's charm while introducing significant visual and technical upgrades. Its unique fusion of history and mythology, engaging strategic gameplay (that still holds up), enchanting soundtrack, and improved AI make it stand out. While some may criticize the imbalance between mortal and mythic units, this remains an essential RTS experience - a one-of-a-kind title that mythology and strategy fans simply can't miss.

7 / 10.0 - Caligo
May 6, 2025

Caligo tackles a theme that is both simple and profoundly complex: the essence of life and how we live it, exploring human will and the art of choice. Unlike narrative-driven games that rely on interactive gameplay or relative freedom, Caligo places its entire weight on storytelling, requiring players to move from point A to B solely to advance dialogues. However, its deceptively simple yet deeply philosophical narrative, combined with a meaningful final choice, stands as its strongest asset. If you are passionate about philosophy and have pondered the meaning of life, this one-hour experience comes highly recommended

It is an echo of days that still breathe every step, glance, and moment tells a story lost to time. Tamriel is reborn with vibrant colors, intricate details, and cutting-edge technology, yet it retains the same legendary soul. Immerse yourself in this world and shut the gates of Oblivion once and for all.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage crafts an introspective journey through memory, friendship, and remorse. Though its art and music shine, the predictable narrative falls short of the studio's signature depth, delivering a weaker emotional impact. Still, narrative game enthusiasts will find value in this experience.
