Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features fun, challenging gameplay, a diverse number of characters and tracks. There are also plenty of customization options. Multiplayer is the game's strong point, with a variety of modes both online and offline. However, the single-player content leaves something to be desired, becoming monotonous after a few hours. Furthermore, the Donpa Tickets grind is unnecessarily excessive.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is, honestly, the definition of a video game. It has an incredible and addictive combat system, stunning graphics, a well-executed metroidvania vibe in the levels, a cliché story that perfectly matches the theme, and challenging extra modes.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a fantastic game because the title it's based on is splendid. Konami offers excellent graphics in this new version. The only problem is that there was room to modernize elements of the original game while still maintaining respect for the work, but the developer decided to play safe. This means that if you're expecting something different from what you've known for over 20 years, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, for those looking to relive Snake's adventure or experience the saga for the first time, Metal Gear Solid Delta is an excellent option.

80 / 100 - Somber Echoes
Aug 18, 2025

Somber Echoes is a good metroidvania with a great movement system. The combat is simple and the story is weak, but it's worth checking out if you're looking for games in the genre.

85 / 100 - Ready or Not
Jul 14, 2025

Ready or Not is an excellent cooperative first-person shooter. The immersion is fantastic, with outstanding realism. There are many moments of tension and team communication. However, there are some issues, such as the single-player bots being quite difficult to control. Furthermore, the game was clearly designed for five players, so many levels become unnecessarily long and difficult with fewer players.

75 / 100 - Tron: Catalyst
Jun 17, 2025

TRON: Catalyst is a good adventure game set in the TRON universe. The looping mechanics are interesting, as is the combat. However, overall, it is a short, simple game with a reasonable story.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is an important collection due to its historical value. But, overall, the highlights are Capcom vs SNK 2 and perhaps the two Power Stone games. The rest of the games aren't attractive enough to make the collection a must-have.

DOOM: The Dark Ages manages to innovate in a positive way the solid gameplay of its predecessors. The shield mechanics are very good, giving the combat a new feel. The parts with Serrat (dragon) and Atlan (mecha) are quite fun, despite being few. The campaign has a reasonable story and its length is just right, but the collectibles and secrets are easier to discover in general. In the end, DOOM: The Dark Ages is worth playing, despite not offering any other content besides the campaign itself.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves masterfully revives a classic SNK series. The gameplay is varied and fun, for both casual and hardcore audiences. The single-player content is very good with different modes. The game's only flaws are its unnecessarily confusing interface and the online with many matchmaking issues.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a game that should be enjoyed in the right "vibe". It brings back a sense of nostalgia for the 90s, while also having a plot that manages to hook us in. The character development is solid and creates bonds with the player. There are some technical issues that patches could fix, as well as some slow moments in the narrative. But, in other words, if you liked the other DON'T NOD narrative games, it's hard not to like this one. [Review based on TAPE 1: BLOOM].

If you give it a chance, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting game. It will still be a repetitive game, but it ends up becoming addictive. Its unique world and the desire to discover more about it can make up for the high grind and frustration - especially at the beginning - of losing everything because you were too ambitious.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is an excellent VR title. Very immersive, good gameplay ideas, accessible controls and the constant fear of a xenomorph around every corner. It's a must-have title in your PS VR2 library.

Rage of the Dragons NEO is not a bad fighting game and the port work done by QUByte Interactive couldn't be better. However, the game itself is worth checking it out just out of curiosity.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a very simple game aimed at a children's audience. Despite good graphics and interesting combat, the gameplay in general is very repeated, there is no incentive to explore the maps and the dialogues are bad.

85 / 100 - Metro Awakening
Nov 5, 2024

Metro Awakening is a great virtual reality game. Immersive, interesting, challenging and faithful to the Metro universe. However, its pace is a bit slow, the story takes a while to get going and some moments, because they are “too realistic”, can end up being stressful for the player.

60 / 100 - Blazing Strike
Oct 31, 2024

, Blazing Strike has nice graphics and simple gameplay. This gameplay may appeal to a certain audience, but it didn't appeal to me. One thing that is a consensus, however, is its game modes: they are terrible, especially for the solo player.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered features fantastic graphics, is technically flawless, and offers some quality-of-life improvements. However, the original game hasn't aged so badly to already receive a remaster and revisiting it without having certain improvements to its sequel is something strange. However, it is still a must-have title if you haven't played it yet.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure manages to hook the player in its first episodes, but the final part is disappointing. Having Max back (even if it's with different powers) is a positive point. It is a fact that the title is one of the most beautiful and polished in the series at its launch, even if some bugs and texture problems are present. Finally, despite being short, it is interesting to play it more than once.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is basically two excellent games in one. Sonic Generations is a remaster of one of the hedgehog's best titles, while Shadow Generations is a new game that is based on the Sonic Frontiers formula to revisit the past of one of the most beloved characters by fans. Shadow's gameplay mechanics are great, the levels are fun and exploring White Space is very good. It is a round package and recommended.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a game that hasn't aged well: its tough combat and bad cutscenes show the title's age. It's worth checking out for the absurd story and if you want a not too deep action game. A pity, however, the absence of the licensed soundtrack.
