Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a delight for action RPG fans, rich in story, gameplay, and details. A demo is available to try the start of the second chapter and engage in online battles, giving a good idea of the game's value. Despite February being packed with major RPG releases like Persona 3 Reload and the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Granblue Fantasy: Relink holds its own. This debut adventure from Cygames doesn't fall short compared to other sensational series. Give it a try!

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash could have pleased fans, but it falls short. Despite the quality of the anime and manga, the game is technically lacking. It feels rushed or unfinished, with uninspired text-based menus and a poorly implemented UI. The gameplay tries to do too much and fails to deliver, with online four-player battles often feeling random and frustrating due to unreasonable lag. Steam reviews reflect a mixed reception, with only 56% positive. Even the story mode is underwhelming, lacking 3D environments and relying on static text and images from the anime. A wasted potential.

Ashley, D, and other characters will remain memorable, as they have for thousands of players. I highly recommend trying the demo on the Nintendo Store and experiencing the story as a graphic novel filled with puzzles and surprises. Enjoy the intense and beautiful stories.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the perfect spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio, as if released in the 2000s. The style and soundtrack are almost impeccable, with a surprising plot connecting the game world. While the repetitive process of unlocking districts may be a downside, collectibles and challenging achievements help mitigate the lack of broader gameplay variety. A must-play for JSR fans.

In summary, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn't quite what I expected, but it's important to judge it based on what it actually offers. The game presents a vast and new world to explore, with visuals faithful to the film and an original story. It allows players to step into the shoes of a Na’vi with first-person gameplay, combining exploration, hunting, combat, and some crafting for a complete experience. However, the game lacks originality and a fresh style suited to the franchise, often feeling too vast and unstimulating for long-term play. Fans of Avatar may still enjoy exploring Pandora in-depth, but this judgment remains subjective. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether to give it a try or not.

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising is the best version of Arc System Works' fighting game, evolving gameplay mechanics and adding characters and mini-games.

Absolutely. While new players might find the pace and gameplay of Super Mario RPG slow, old-school RPG fans will love it. The remastered version stays true to the original, offering around ten hours of gameplay. The reorchestrated music is a weak point, but other improvements make the gameplay more accessible for today's audience. Give it a try!

Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections rehashes old content at a high price. Despite the love for the saga and anime-based games, it doesn't deserve more than a passable score. Hopefully, CyberConnect2 will reinvigorate the series with fresh ideas.

The Invincible has great ideas but suffers from slow pace and basic gameplay. While Firewatch balanced constant narrative with minimal gameplay well, this title doesn't quite manage it. Still, it's worth trying the demo to see if it suits you before deciding to buy or wait for a discount.

The Talos Principle II evolves the first game in every way, making it a cornerstone of the genre. Its variety intrigues players, who will spend more hours than anticipated due to the game's length and challenge, constantly urging you to achieve 100% completion. It's complex enough to make you think but never too difficult. The perfect puzzle game.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder offers a complete world and character overhaul, with fully redesigned and fluid animations, bringing an innovative touch to the saga in true Nintendo style. The game provides hours of carefree fun, smiles, and amazement, unmatched by most games. If 2D platformers are your idea of fun, this is one of the year's best titles. Extremely varied and fun, both simple and complex, and absolutely recommended. You won't regret it.

Eternights impresses with its effort, especially considering it's developed by a small team. The game features voice acting in English, Japanese, and Korean, and it remains engaging until the end, despite some temporal inconsistencies. Should we overlook gameplay issues and simplicity because it's made by a single developer? Yes and no. While it's essential to note flaws if they hinder enjoyment, the game's development and its affordable price should also be considered. Focus on the enjoyable story. Eternights is available on PlayStation 5, utilizing the DualSense's unique vibrations, and on PlayStation 4.

I always try to be cautious when a game stands out so much that it brings a fresh breeze to the gaming landscape, but I have every reason to say that Chants of Sennaar is a must-play for puzzle adventure lovers. An instant classic with original and well-structured style, it keeps players glued for its 8-12 hour duration. Available for €19.99 on all platforms, including a demo, it's hard to find an excuse not to play it.

Team KO_OP has crafted an award-winning adventure combining musical and rhythm game elements with a narrative rich in choices and consequences. With 6-7 hours of engaging gameplay, multiple playthroughs unlock all trophies. Tested on PS5, utilizing DualSense's haptic feedback, it's also available on PS4. Highly recommended for an unforgettable story.

Hubris is a visually stunning VR game, hampered by technical issues that break immersion. Despite its beauty, the technical flaws like frame drops and pop-ups might put off less experienced players. Once you get past these issues, it's quite enjoyable. Available on Meta Quest 2 and PSVR 2.

Everybody 1-2-Switch entertains a wide audience but with low intellectual engagement and slow pace. The mini-games quickly become uninspired and repetitive, lacking the charm of a good party game. It’s more suitable for children than adults. The low-quality games and slow pace make it clear why it was quietly released at a budget price.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is an engaging adventure with mystery, a well-crafted story, and clever puzzles. A classic from the Nintendo DS era, it's worth playing on modern consoles. Highly recommended, though the remaster could have been better.

After Us seems to have the potential for a good game with nice ideas, but it falls short technically, producing a title that feels incomplete and poorly packaged, failing to deliver solid and enjoyable gameplay, and resulting in a slow and vaguely dreamlike experience. In a period flooded with high-level releases, where every team pushes hard to stand out and showcase its little miracle, Piccolo Studio falls short, creating a game that is not very memorable. It might find its audience among those looking for something slow and exploratory, but even then, the combat phases with monsters are likely to detract from the overall experience. A shame for the Barcelona team, but we will continue to follow them in hopes of appreciating their next title more.

I wanted to praise Strayed Lights as its marketing seemed phenomenal, but it feels like the marketing team managed to merge images and gameplay scenes, essentially representing a non-existent title. Skipping Embers Games' wonderful screenshots for this review, I felt deceived, as Strayed Lights isn't the product I expected and isn't what other sites praise. It has potential but is mediocre in execution, offering nothing in the few hours it takes to complete.
