65 / 100 - The Falconeer

70 / 100 - Visage
Nov 17, 2020

Despite its flaws, Visage is a standout in the horror genre, reinterpreting its foundations impressively. SadSquare Studios has created a convincing and expressive adventure. The house constantly changes, influenced by the lesson of P.T. Visage is a love letter to horror games, terrifying in new ways. However, its progression is unclear, with backtracking and inventory management issues. It's difficult but rewarding if you can master it.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon marks a new beginning for the series, taking risks with new ideas and a shift to JRPG mechanics. Kasuga Ichiban's adventure combines craziness and realism, though not always seamlessly. It's a promising start that acknowledges the need for future refinement.

70 / 100 - WARTILE
Nov 8, 2020

Wartile: Complete Edition captures the essence of tile board games on console. Playwood Project's combat system mixes real-time elements with a card system and character growth. The weak storyline and control issues don't significantly detract from the overall enjoyable experience.

55 / 100 - Amnesia: Rebirth
Oct 26, 2020

Amnesia: Rebirth is a long-awaited return that feels outdated. The gameplay is stiff, and the story lacks the impact of Frictional Games' SOMA. Despite intriguing premises, it fails to maintain momentum throughout.

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut is a lazy port of a solid metroidvania. The lack of improvements or additions makes it hard to recommend unless you're a die-hard fan.

Tamarin offers an innocuous and simple experience, lacking excitement. The chaotic world and weak shooting mechanics detract from its potential. It's not catastrophic but falls short of being fully satisfying.

65 / 100 - Tell Me Why
Sep 16, 2020

Tell Me Why leaves players disappointed despite its promising premise. The plot's roundabout approach and superficial treatment of diversity are letdowns. Interesting for fans of Dontnod, but it could have been more daring.

Marvel’s Avengers doesn't fully capitalize on its potential. While the gameplay is strong, the repetitive structure and lackluster progression undermine the experience. The campaign is well-written, but the endgame content falls short. Crystal Dynamics had a potential hit, but it didn't fully deliver.
