    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Review: A 2D Castlevania Return After 18 Years

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 15 on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere, developed by KONAMI with Dead Cells studios Evil Empire and Motion Twin. The author calls it the series' first original 2D entry in 18 years, starring Trevor's daughter Rose Belmont in 1499 Paris. Rose wields seven weapon types, the whip doubles as a grappling hook, and defeated bosses are sealed into tarot cards as upgradable spells.

    Why this: A first-hand playthrough breaks down the whip grappling hook, tarot Arcana and relic systems, showing what this 2D Castlevania revival is going for.

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Review: The Norgan Tundra and 12 New Dungeons

    Kotaku's review calls Norgan, a snowy region north of the original map, the centerpiece of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, with one settlement, buried ruins, and environmental hazards like cracking ice and blizzards. The expansion also adds 12 new dungeons to the existing world, which the reviewer found unremarkable on a New Game+ character around level 70 but likely fine for first-time players. Most monsters are variants of base-game foes, such as ice-casting saurians and yeti-like ogres, alongside a few new bosses; the reviewer says the DLC does not dramatically change the game but stays true to it.

    Why this: Based on roughly 20 hours with the expansion, the reviewer weighs the Norgan region, 12 new dungeons, and monster variants to help readers judge whether the DLC is worth returning for.
