Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is a very good game, as long as you go into it knowing what to expect.

Tales of Berseria Remastered isn’t perfect, and visual pop-in is very noticeable, but look beyond this and you’ll find an engaging RPG that deserves your time. 

FRONT MISSION 3: Remake is a bit of a mixed bag. There are good bits, like the story and gameplay which are lifted straight from the original. But then there are those elements that don’t work anywhere near as well - like the weird halfway house graphical update, dodgy FMV and weird upscaled portraits of the characters.

DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS Visions of Four Heroes is an easy recommendation for fans of the franchise.

Aside from the online multiplayer issues, MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is an extremely solid game to play; suitable for fans of the source material, but also well up to the job of dragging in any newbie. 

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is a very good game, with a massive amount of content to go at.

Dragon Spira does enough to raise itself above the usual swathe of KEMCO retro styled JRPGs.

Escape from Ever After is a very accomplished game that does a lot of things right. The platforming can be tricky until you are used to it, but you’ll mostly have a really good time playing through.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is hugely enjoyable. There is so much to take in, across a variety of locales, and all tied together by an overarching narrative, that you will rarely get bored.

Despite some minor issues, Code Vein II is excellent.

The action is so intense, there is barely a moment to rest, and so after about ten minutes with CLAWPUNK, I’m about exhausted.

It can get a bit samey, but Super Farming Boy has such charm that you won’t mind the grind too much.

If you are familiar with the Youtube channel it is based on, you may find enjoyment in Look Mum No Computer, but for the rest of us, there are much better games out there.

Brews & Bastards is both good and bad. The actual shooting action is hugely enjoyable, but the platforming aspects and - frankly, stupid - multiplayer system weigh the scale down more towards the bad side.

Hero Seekers does just enough to lift itself above the rest of KEMCO’s output.
