Depending on what you want from a remake may determine how well you get on with SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated. It packs all the charm and gameplay of the original, but other than some fantastic new visuals, the game feels a bit dated in its gameplay and doesn’t really pack much challenge.

The Last of Us: Part II is certainly a game that was designed to stir emotion from its player, regardless if that is one that has you enjoy the experience or downright hate it. While much of the game is certainly enjoyable and features some of the best visuals ever to grace videogames, there are parts that I could not enjoy, despite feeling that the overall game is rather fantastic.

Developed by Mimimi Games, the team behind Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, has brought the series back as a prequel, showing how many of the series’ original characters met. For those that have played Shadow Tactics, the gameplay will feel very familiar, with a few quality of life updates and some new interesting ideas to back them up.

Ys: Memories of Celceta certainly has more history to it than likely any of the previous games in the series. The game, which is canonically set between the events of the second and third, is a remake of sorts to both Ys: IV Mask of the Sun, and Ys: IV: The Dawn of Ys to say nothing of Mask of the Sun having its own reboot on the PS2 with Ys: IV Mask of the Sun - A New Theory.

When the term “Definitive Edition” is tossed around, it most likely means the collected works of any particular game and its additional add-on content. Sometimes; however, we get a remastered title spruced up with all new visuals or some quality of life updates that can breathe new life into an old classic. I was excited to see what Monolith Soft and Nintendo would do to not just bring the game to the Switch, but the advancements the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 engine could provide.

Developers Mojang and Double Eleven have now taken the aesthetic charm of Minecraft and have fused it with the isometric flavor of Diablo, making a family-friendly dungeon crawler in the process, equipped with an engaging loot progression system and enjoyable hack and slash gameplay, but lacks the creative nature of what made the franchise so beloved.
