Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
You have to wonder about the internal processes at Square Enix when it comes to rereleasing its back catalogue. We wouldn't be shocked to learn that decisions governing when and in what form a past gem will be thrust into the spotlight again are made by lottery. Final Fantasy I–VI get pixel remasters, VII gets a mega-budget trilogy. Dragon Quests I–III? The HD-2D treatment. Dragon Quest VII? A 3D reimagining.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
With tongue resolutely in cheek, Sega revived an old TV commercial in its marketing of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, pointing out the difference between its new kart racer and Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch title, Mario Kart World.

Godbreakers
Debuting with an action Roguelite is a bold move for To The Sky. In a field crowded with so many entries grasping for attention – Hades II and Absolum among them – it’s not easy for a new IP from a small developer to stand out. It’s laudable, then, that Godbreakers manages to differentiate itself.

Gears Of War: Reloaded
Something may be lost in the translation between the original 2006 version of Gears Of War and the considerably prettier, brighter and more sharply textured Reloaded. A solemn, grimy place, where endless battles over scarce resources have resulted only in ever-larger piles of corpses, the world of Gears is perhaps most suitably rendered via the fuzzier, grey-brown colour palette of the first Xbox 360 release. Especially for Marcus Fenix and co, war is hell. You might argue that it ought to look like it.

Post Script
Ezo was not yet part of Japan in 1603, when Ghost Of Yotei's story takes place, which feels an appropriate analogue for Sucker Punch acknowledging itself as a nonJapanese studio making a culturally Japanese game.
