Through an indefinite delay, and multiple criticisms of previous installments Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires was eventually released. The game received a mixed reception from critics. Despite being enjoyable, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires was a lukewarm experience.
Live A Live
Live A Live is a turn-based JRPG and is a remake of the 1994 original, now in the impressive "2D-HD" art style, and finally available beyond Japan. As a newcomer to the series, I enjoyed the game but encountered some challenges that slightly hindered the overall experience.

Bright Memory: Infinite is a sci-fi action first-person shooter developed by FYQD Studio. This game is the direct follow-up to Bright Memory from 2019.

Warframe, a free-to-play third-person stealth-action game by Digital Extremes, originally released in 2013, continually evolves and improves as a persistent online game.

Kao the Kangaroo
Kao the Kangaroo might not be as iconic as Mario, Sonic, Crash, or Spyro in the golden era of 3D platformers, so Tate Multimedia's revival of this IP surprised many. The result is a fun, well-crafted platforming experience that, although playing it safe, ultimately satisfies.
Dolmen
Dolmen, the debut title from Massive Work Studio, is a challenging RPG inspired by Dark Souls, focusing heavily on combat. While the boss battles are thrilling, the game's moment-to-moment gameplay is dull and uninspired due to bland enemy and level design.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure game serves as a companion title for the upcoming Hundred Heroes game. While it helps build the world and introduce characters, its distinct gameplay raises questions about whether there are additional elements to enjoy beyond these aspects.
