Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a title that divides opinions. Despite a rocky start and the absence of classic figures like the X-Men, the game manages to sustain itself thanks to its solid, innovative and fun gameplay. The Infinity Stone system brings freshness to the formula, and Capcom's cast shines with accurate choices. Still, it's hard to ignore the visual flaws and the feeling that the game was shaped more by the MCU's marketing than by the franchise's legacy. Ultimately, Infinite delivers a competent experience that can please both newcomers and fighting game veterans — even if with some reservations. For fans of the series, it's still worth checking out, especially if the focus is on the gameplay. But those looking for a complete package, with visual appeal and a nostalgic cast, may end up a little disappointed.

9 / 10.0 - Destiny 2
Sep 20, 2017

Destiny 2 is a sequel that does its job well: it maintains the winning formula of the first game and adds new features that help to refresh the experience. While it's not a revolution, the game offers a constant evolution that's more accessible to different types of players, with a focus on exploration and dynamic events. For those who have already played the first game, Destiny 2 offers a worthwhile experience, with many hours of content, even if it's not a game-changer. If you like FPS with RPG elements and a good dose of multiplayer, Destiny 2 is definitely a solid choice.

8 / 10.0 - Kona
May 5, 2017

Kona is a game that is not so different from what we are used to, with suspense, puzzles and many mysteries in each new scene. The story is intriguing and the game, even with very basic graphics, impresses by showing that the “horror/tension” genre is not dead – quite the opposite.

8.5 / 10.0 - For Honor
Feb 21, 2017

For Honor is a good game and a good debut for Ubisoft in a new genre. The game features combat in open, open-ended, yet limited settings, and uses three clans, with a system of 12 distinct classes, with good variety and combination. Aside from a few issues, such as the confusing and cluttered menus, the adventure is worth checking out and enjoying for those who enjoy the multiplayer combat genre.

NBA 2KVR is an interesting and very different experience, but it doesn't last long. Even so, the affordable price can please those looking for quick fun, not to mention that it is recommended for basketball lovers. The “game” is made up of minigames and progression with coins that the player earns.

7 / 10.0 - Steep
Jan 2, 2017

Steep seems to suffer from that “illness” that every first Ubisoft game in a new series has. It’s a good game, but it has the potential to be even better, which leads us to believe that a possible sequel should be released with even more care. The gameplay is “ok”, but the progression made us feel strange holding the controller in our hands. Aside from that, the multiplayer is well done and the visuals are impressive.

8 / 10.0 - Eagle Flight
Dec 3, 2016

Eagle Flight is, for now, the best game that PS VR has in its collection. The most interesting thing is that it is cheap compared to others, around US$ 30 in the console's online store, and offers a very complete package of the experience of flying freely just by moving your head. The simulation with VR works well, despite some "natural" impediments that remain in the player's view, which is the view of the eagle itself.

Batman Arkham VR is, in fact, a missed opportunity. Which is a shame, because in addition to fans of the character expecting something better and more complex, the game wastes the opportunity to be a true game in the Arkham series with the PS VR, and not just a kind of “luxury demo”. The price may not be worth it in Brazil, despite being more affordable abroad. Still, it can be worth it as a curiosity to show what it’s like to play with the accessory, and nothing more than that.

8 / 10.0 - Just Dance 2017
Nov 26, 2016

It's true that Just Dance 2017 lacks any really relevant new features, but it remains true to what it is: a simple and fun dance game. It will please those who were already happy with what was released last year and it also has the "new setlist" factor to give that taste of new content.

The King of Fighters XIV isn't perfect. Its visual presentation falls short of its competitors, and the story mode is far from exciting. However, in terms of content, gameplay, and accessibility, it delivers more than most recent fighting games. SNK has done its homework and delivered a complete game since launch, something that has become rare. If you're looking for a title with a large cast, a deep combat system, and decent support for both single-player and online play, KOF XIV is worth your attention.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an impeccable game. Naughty Dog once again proves its talent for creating cinematic experiences that brilliantly blend action, exploration, and storytelling. Nathan Drake's story comes to an exciting and satisfying conclusion, and the game is visually stunning with refined gameplay. Although the title has some minor flaws, such as predictable battles and the voice acting at times, it is, without a doubt, one of the best games of this generation. It is a must-play for any action-adventure fan, and one of the most important titles on the PlayStation 4.

In the end, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a game that does its job well: it's fun, accessible, and true to the Star Wars universe. If you're a fan of the franchise or simply enjoy LEGO games, you'll definitely enjoy it. It introduces some interesting new features, but still follows the formula that has made the LEGO franchise a success over the years. If you liked the movie, you'll feel right at home here, and if you're not that into the style of the game, the long levels and simplicity of the gameplay might not be your thing.

8.5 / 10.0 - Overwatch
Aug 2, 2016

Overall, Overwatch is a game that offers a fun and strategic experience, with engaging characters and a unique visual style. While there is room for improvement in some aspects, such as gameplay and the amount of content, Blizzard has managed to deliver a game that is worth the investment. The community is active, and regular updates mean that the game will continue to evolve. If you're looking for an FPS that goes beyond just shooting, Overwatch is an excellent option.

In short, Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo is a game packed with content, but it deserved a little more polish in its graphics and gameplay, falling behind its main rival, Codemasters' DiRT Rally. It's a good choice for rally fans and is certainly an excellent option in promotions, especially for those who can't satisfy their desire to be a world champion.

It's a competent compilation and serves to introduce the saga to your 10-year-old cousin who never had the chance to blow on a cartridge of the little blue robot to put in the NES. Or just remember the good times when you did that, if that's your case.

In conclusion, we can say that the return of the Wolfenstein franchise was a success and killing Nazis has never been so fun! It lacked a localization for Brazil, but I understand that this is not that simple to do (but would it hurt to have translated subtitles at least?). Despite the theme being overused, by bringing BJ in the style of Inglourious Basterds with a story involving an alternative reality, the game wins you over at every stage, even more so when you combine this with solid gameplay, with few reservations. The addition of a stealth mode with a dedicated button helps a lot in the game's progression, increasing the player's approach options, bringing new experiences. Recommended!
