Dragon Quest VII – Reimagined, for someone playing it for the first time, is just a by-the-numbers old-fashioned JRPG experience, updated for modern audiences, which at times tires with its repetitiveness, while for those who have tried the original, perhaps nostalgia will touch them a little more.
Essentially, the "real" Little Nightmares III, a nightmarish but very brief journey into the depths of paranoia.
A clever and interesting adventure, whose short duration and relatively low difficulty of its puzzles do not allow it to shine more brightly.
A remaster that doesn't add much to the Syberia legend, despite its visual upgrade. It may be impressively beautiful at times, but due to its sloppy implementation and the dubious quality of the changes made to appeal to a younger audience, as a whole it fails to reach the level of the title we played in 2002.
A noteworthy continuation of the series, with its fast-paced hack 'n' slash action making a nice impression.
It may sound far-fetched, but Foolish Mortal leaves you with the taste of a great adventure, like the ones we used to play in the 90s and get excited about. Just like its "mentors" did.
Simon the Sorcerer: Origins is an adventure game aimed primarily at fans of adventure games and the series in general, and we would not recommend it to someone new to the genre, due to the way the puzzles are implemented. It will not change Simon's status in the adventure world, but it is a fine addition to the series, which respects the material it is called upon to manage.
An enchanting fairy tale, which nevertheless "suffers" from its clumsy controls and controversial approach to the action part of the game.
An addictive and meticulously crafted beat 'em up/roguelite that keeps you hooked.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a very good choice for the survival horror genre fans. Its old-fashioned mechanics may discourage some players, while certain elements could definitely be improved, such as the scriptwriting, the puzzles, and some technical issues. Nevertheless, the work has been done satisfactorily, and we await Bloober Team's next step with great interest.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a very good choice for anyone who wants a fast-paced action game with plenty of exploration and platforming elements. It's not perfect, but it's fun and perfectly capable of keeping you interested in for the 9-10 hours or so that it lasts.
If you're looking for an explosive, fun and challenging hack 'n' slash/platformer, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound will not disappoint.
The Drifter is another adventure of merit, a "must play" for every fan of the genre. Especially those who have a soft spot for thrillers and the atmosphere of old horror movies will probably love it a little more.
If there's one thing If there's one thing Rematch is really missing, it's content, so in a way we'd say it's still in an Early Access status. However, in functional terms it's complete, so even in its current state, the game is still pretty decent, and for those looking for a well-made and challenging PvP game, with potential to get even better in the future, Rematch is a good choice.
Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is what you'd expect from the sequel to a decent adventure: thoughtful, bigger with harder puzzles and an equally well-written story to back it up.
A familiar time travel concept, but with quite an interesting approach, Old Skies is another strong adventure in the trophy case of Wadjet Eye Games.
One of the most complete games of all time, in terms of action and storytelling, with some controversial issues in its plot.
Elroy and the Aliens does not redefine the genre, but it's a very well-made, charming and complete adventure. It's a safe entertainment choice for the fans, while it would be a good suggestion for someone interested in getting involved with the enchanting world of point and click adventures for the first time.
Rosewater is an epic adventure that will be etched in your mind and heart.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows does not reinvent the wheel, nor is it the landmark game that will redefine gaming. Nevertheless, it's a worthy and well-crafted Assassin's Creed title that will certainly satisfy fans of the series, probably win over some who had left it some years ago, but will hardly convince its detractors to bother with it.
