Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a pleasant surprise from start to finish, offering an isometric stealth experience reminiscent of '90s classics, but with modern visuals and narrative. The game stands out for its engaging story of protagonist Hanna, who must rescue her brother in an Art Nouveau-inspired city, and for its gameplay that prioritizes stealth and clever use of the environment. Despite its linear gameplay and challenges, the progressive difficulty and richly detailed environment make it a highly recommended experience.

6 / 10.0 - Antro
Jul 26, 2025

Antro is a musical platformer that blends rhythm and puzzle levels, set in a dystopian underground in Barcelona. Its greatest strength lies in its soundtrack, integrated into the gameplay, and its visuals inspired by urban peripheries. The story addresses themes of oppression, revolution, and inequality, but superficially. Despite the bugs and short length, it delivers a good sensory experience, but its short length lacks depth in the narrative and themes portrayed.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O marks the franchise's return to PC after nearly 20 years of re-releases and occasional improvements, while maintaining its technical and rewarding gameplay. Despite graphical updates, better online connectivity, and the implementation of rollback netcode, the game suffers from a lack of significant content, having fewer modes and options than its original 2006 version. Still, it's an excellent way for old and new fans to enjoy the series until the inevitable arrival of "Virtua Fighter 6."
