9 / 10.0 - Celeste
Mar 16, 2018

Celeste is another small work that mixes fun and difficulty with a good dose of creativity. The game teaches you good lessons about what game design is, with refined controls, well-presented retro visuals, and very well-thought-out scenarios for the challenge that it is. One of the little secret gems available on consoles and PCs.

Even though it's not the prettiest, the Skyrim port for Switch is incredible and worth your investment. The game has all the downloadable content released in previous editions and promises almost endless playthroughs, given its dynamic quest system. It's true that we don't have mods or other content aimed at the PC version, but if you've never played Skyrim before, this is a great opportunity.

Ultimately, Need for Speed ​​Payback lacks charisma and identity. The game doesn't know what it wants to be and this is detrimental to the experience. It helps the player get familiar with the story, but it doesn't have any memorable characters. It leaves you with a huge map to explore, but it's full of grind and unfair progression. There are fun elements, like the sharp driving and the fun of completing the missions, but that's really all there is to it.

In the end, you're left with a very nice game, with little to do. Fun at times, Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn't quite what fans were expecting, so it might be best to wait for a sale to buy it. Unless, of course, you're a huge fan of the series – in which case, enjoy!

8 / 10.0 - LEGO Worlds
Apr 30, 2017

Ultimately, LEGO Worlds is an incredible “toy box,” with an open world and many possibilities that go beyond just creating for the sake of creating. The game gives you freedom, but has its own identity, without getting lost along the way, as other games of the genre do, including Minecraft. Add to that the graphics are on par with other games in the LEGO series and you have a great experience for all ages.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza 0
Feb 18, 2017

Yakuza 0 is a good place to start if you want to get to know the series now, but it's also a treat for fans, as it stays true to what the series represents. There's a lot of content to explore and check out, and the graphics get better with each version. Kazuma is well represented on Sony's current generation of consoles, and you'll have hours and hours of fun playing the game controlling the guy – in a good way, of course.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is one of the best games of the year and perhaps one of the best of its genre, although this “genre” is not clear – is it an RPG? Is it a stealth game? An action game? Or an FPS? It doesn’t really matter, what matters here is that it is a production full of quality and has a lot to offer for newcomers and veterans alike.

Telltale's Batman does a good job of reimagining the beginning of Batman's career, even though it has flaws in its technical execution. However, there are interesting changes to the character's lore, such as his first encounter with Catwoman, in addition to the fact that we have a Penguin who is Bruce Wayne's childhood friend. Bruce, by the way, is a great central character and much more interesting than Batman, in this case. The only thing missing was a little more inspiration in the controls and graphics engine to make it truly worthy of the hero, who is one of the icons of comics.

The new Hitman doesn't do anything bad or offend the classic series and its legacy. Those who were expecting a reboot of the character, like what happened in Devil May Cry, for example, can rest assured, because this one is completely classic and original. There are a few problems here and there, but the final version, with all the chapters, didn't disappoint in any way.
