The boring RPG filler and Kingdom Hearts-esque convolution that was inserted in between did stop my ear-to-ear grin from being constant, but never long enough to kill the mood completely. That leaves this remake as one that still delivered on letting me relive (part of) a classic in stupendous fashion, while also standing as a great RPG all its own.

De langverwachte Final Fantasy VII Remake is dus niet perfect. Het duurt even tot de combat interessant wordt en texture pop-in maakt het een stuk minder mooi dan de demo doet vermoeden. Daarbij zal de rechtlijnige structuur bij een aantal fans in het verkeerde keelgat schieten.

Passaram-se 5 anos desde esse momento e apesar de toda a apreensão, Final Fantasy VII Remake é um sonho tornado realidade. Uma marcante jornada sem fim que nos faz ansiar pela próxima parte, tecendo uma base que ultrapassa o máximo de muitos dos melhores jogos do género.

De plot is dus wederom een reeks highlights uit een verhaal dat je eerder en beter hebt gezien. Daar tegenover staat echter een bijzonder sterke Warriors-titel met meer keuzevrijheid en diversiteit dan ooit tevoren. Of je nou als Snakeman Luffy door de veldslag wilt racen, als de gigantische Kaido hele legers omver wil stompen, of als Bartolomeo vijanden wilt vangen in je barrières: niet alles speelt even fijn, maar alles is mogelijk.

Thank goodness for all of its memorable, Michael Bay-style blockbuster moments, because in 2020 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is competing for our attention with its own very impressive reboot. In that light, the generic shooting-gallery gameplay of Modern Warfare 2’s campaign feels dated – after so many games we’re onto the magician’s trick now.

Royal a Persona 5 é muito mais do que apenas uma expansão ao JRPG que já nos tinha conquistado no passado, é um refinar repleto de novos conteúdos, que resulta num dos melhores de sempre no género.

Totally Reliable Delivery Service delivers some goofy laughs with family or friends as you fumble your way to a destination without completely destroying your cargo, but like a package that’s been bashed into your front door a few times before finally being pushed through your mail slot, it’s noticeably rough around the edges and some of its contents are broken.

Panzer Dragoon: Remake is a cool window back to a neat little corner of video game history. With modernized graphics acting as rose-tinted glasses to make it more visually pleasing than the 1995 original, this is a neat little arcade shooter that keeps things exciting for an hour or two. It’s just enough to make me wish that the developers had gone a little farther and built this remake up with more levels or, maybe, gambled on a fully modernized take on the original’s simple concept.

Persona 5 was already a strong front-runner for being the best JRPG ever made, and Royal really gets me wondering what else could even compete. The excellent story and its lovable, multidimensional characters along with the challenging, tactical combat are all refined and back for another round with new surprises and new friends in tow. There are new areas to explore and new twists to leave your jaw on the floor.

Like Resident Evil 2 before it, Resident Evil 3’s 2020 remake does an amazing job of recapturing the horror and tension of the late ‘90s original while completely modernizing its gameplay. It plays like a 2020 game because it is a 2020 game. The classic world is brought to life in glorious detail, and smart level design makes exploring it a delight and replaying it almost compulsory. If only all remakes could be this good; bring on the next one.
