Toy Story 3 Complete Edition proves that the 2010 game still has plenty to offer beyond nostalgia. The campaign remains lighthearted and fun, while Toy Box continues to be the main highlight, offering freedom, missions, and customization options that have aged surprisingly well. On PS5, the sharp image quality, solid performance, and inclusion of Portuguese-language menus and voice acting make this the most complete and accessible way to revisit the adventure. The game's age shows in some of its animations and simpler design elements, but that isn't enough to overshadow just how well it still holds up.

Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is a collection designed for those who want to revisit an important era of Pixar games without losing sight of what these titles originally were. The excellent presentation, various display modes, and features such as Rewind make revisiting these games much more comfortable on PS5, while the historical bonus content highlights the care taken with game preservation. Not all the games have aged equally well, and the lack of Portuguese-language support in the original titles may discourage younger players. Still, for fans of Toy Story and classic video games, this is a thoughtfully curated trip down memory lane.

Two Point Hospital: Full Health Collection is the most complete version of a management game that remains incredibly fun even years after its original release. The repetition and some dated systems keep the package from feeling entirely fresh, but the huge amount of content, the humor, and its excellent management foundation make this one of the best entry points into the series and a great option for anyone looking for a game capable of consuming dozens or even hundreds of hours.

7.5 / 10.0 - Halloween
Sep 21, 2026

Halloween: The Game is a much smarter adaptation than simply relying on Michael Myers’ iconic image. It understands the horror of the original film, transforms many of its ideas into gameplay mechanics, and manages to establish its own identity within the asymmetrical horror genre. It lacks polish and relies too heavily on multiplayer, but there is a very solid foundation here and, most importantly, an adaptation made by people who seem to understand why Michael Myers remains terrifying nearly fifty years later.

7.3 / 10.0 - Gothic 1 Remake
Jun 25, 2026

Gothic 1 Remake is a faithful reimagining of the 2001 classic, preserving its core essence while delivering an immersive world that encourages players to explore and forge their own path. This approach may prove frustrating for those expecting a modern RPG experience, but it richly rewards players willing to embrace its harsh, dangerous world with a compelling adventure filled with memorable moments.

Directive 8020 is a solid cinematic sci-fi horror experience, building an atmosphere of paranoia, mystery, and constant danger that evokes classic alien movies. Despite this, the game stumbles in some key areas. The stealth sections are overused and often feel forced, especially in the final stretch, making parts of the campaign feel repetitive.

7.3 / 10.0 - Crimson Desert
Apr 20, 2026

Crimson Desert is a rough diamond of colossal ambition. Pearl Abyss stumbles in its delivery of a convoluted story, graphical optimization issues, and an excess of unexplained systems, but at the same time, the title makes up for its shortcomings by delivering one of the densest, most alive, and most rewarding open worlds of the current generation. For those with the patience to master its punishing learning curve, the reward is an absolutely unforgettable journey.

7.8 / 10.0 - Romeo is a Dead Man
Feb 18, 2026

Romeo is a Dead Man marks the triumphant return of Suda51 with an adventure that blends hack and slash gameplay, punk aesthetics, and absurd humor, delivering Grasshopper Manufacture’s most robust experience to date, albeit technically imperfect. The game fully embraces unrestrained creativity with unique mechanics, such as cultivating zombies and evolving attributes through retro-style minigames, but it stumbles with mission design that becomes repetitive and disrupts the pacing with subspace puzzles. While the narrative shine, the optimization falls short, suffering from performance issues and dated visuals that clash with its inspired art direction.

7 / 10.0 - Code Vein II
Feb 11, 2026

Code Vein II is the kind of sequel that tries to embrace the whole world and ends up tripping over its own feet. The ambition to create a vast open world with an anime aesthetic is clear, and the system that lets you switch classes at any time remains brilliant for the freedom it gives the player. The problem is that the game quickly loses its shine: exploration becomes tiring with empty environments and repetitive enemies, the story turns into a bureaucratic routine of “going back in time and saving someone,” and the technical performance leaves a lot to be desired.
