9.5 / 10.0 - Mortal Kombat 1
Sep 18, 2023

Mortal Kombat 1 represents the highest point of the saga developed by NetherRealm. The story is worthy of an animated feature film, with a good cinematic level that manages to project the gamer inside a real movie. The gameplay is dynamic, fun with a combo system that has undergone a real modernization (although we are not yet faced with the work accomplished by Street Fighter 6), making them much more accessible and intuitable. Unfortunately, the sound compartment fails to keep up with the corresponding video group and, after the end of the story, you have little to do with the Invasions and Towers modes.

9.5 / 10.0 - Sea of Stars
Sep 18, 2023

Sea of Stars is an indie title capable of entertaining gamers and keeping their attention at all times. This is thanks above all to a modernized and dynamic gameplay, but also to a varied game world, rich and endowed by one of the best pixel art in the video game scene. An indie title capable of attracting both veterans of the genre, but also newbies perhaps fearful of slow and boring gameplay. The ability to change characters at the various bonfires also gives the possibility to range and never get bored. An excellent job done by the Canadian software house Sabotage Studio, veterans of their successful The Messenger, they had the ability to renew a genre without disrespecting the classics of the past.

8 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 15, 2023

Hogwarts Legacy is the ultimate Wizarding World-set game. Playing Avalanche Software's new product makes one feel like a wizard in his or her own right. Unfortunately, it sins in terms of technical performance and lacks an in-depth role-playing component. The gameplay of magical combat is interesting.

6 / 10.0 - Clunky Hero
Feb 7, 2023

Clunky Hero is a MetroidVania title that manages to agree with everyone about its mediocrity. It is not a video game that stands out in a positive sense, but neither does it stand out in a negative sense. It is an enjoyable title that probably would have shined a little brighter with more thoughtful dialogue and a more simplified gameplay system regarding exploration.

Dec 30, 2022

God of War Ragnarok fittingly closes out the 2022 releases with a sequel that is no match for its predecessor. With a compelling narrative, a masterful audio compartment, and fun gameplay, it has all the makings of one of the top titles for the PlayStation. Santa Monica Studios has packaged a little gem, raising the bar in action/adventure games.

8 / 10.0 - Overwatch 2
Oct 11, 2022

Overwatch 2 came to the video game market with a completely new formula: free-to-play and with a Battle Pass to unlock and complete. In addition, the number of gamers in matches was reduced from 6vs6 to 5vs5. Blizzard has been able to focus well on the elements that made the first chapter a cult for first-person-shooter games: iconic characters, a refined graphical style, and captivating gameplay. It cannot be called a true sequel, as the skeleton of the game still turns out to be the one that was until recently playable in the first chapter.
