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.

Mortal Kombat 1's story expansion is disappointing. A weak plot and an even worse conclusion. On the other hand, Cyrax, Sektor and Noob Saibot have interesting gameplay that does not make the DLC as a whole disposable.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is the collection that fans have been waiting for for years. In addition to bringing back Marvel vs. Capcom 2, we also have titles that have been forgotten for a long time, such as X-Men vs. Street Fighter. It's a must-have title for any fighting game enthusiast.

95 / 100 - Astro Bot
Sep 5, 2024

Astro Bot is an excellent platformer. Fun, accessible, very varied and full of collectibles. The references to the various franchises and games that have gone through the history of PlayStation consoles is something sensational, especially the phases themed with specific series. The only drawback is that it's relatively short, and it looks easy for veterans of 3D platformers.

95 / 100 - Doom II
Aug 18, 2024

DOOM + DOOM II is a complete package, offering the definitive experience of the two eternal classics. But, in general, they are still the same games we have known for more than 30 years, with some extra campaigns.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos is a game with many problems when it was originally released in the past, but it is still an important piece of SNK and Capcom's history. The relaunch features quality-of-life additions such as online with netcode via rollback. In the end, however, it is worth more for curiosity for those who do not know it or for those who want to remember.

Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Collection has an excellent game (Rocket Knight Adventures) accompanied by two others not as good. The extra features that the collection offers are nice additions, but the price charged for the package at its release is high.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game uses an already established formula from a different source material. It's a simple game that can be interesting for those who like asymmetrical multiplayer, but there are numerous balance and variety issues that greatly affect the game itself.

The Rising Tide is a great expansion of Final Fantasy XVI. The battle with Leviathan is sensational and the whole plot involved is very good to follow. Kairos' Gate is a fun challenge format, too. The only problem is the length of the DLC itself: it's quite short.

90 / 100 - Stellar Blade
Apr 24, 2024

Stellar Blade is a great action game with an interesting story. It's challenging in just the right amount and its content is varied enough to keep the player entertained. However, certain combat mechanics need some tweaking. In addition, the main campaign is somewhat short, and can be finished in about 10 to 15 hours (the parallel content compensates for the situation, being able to double this number).

Top Racer Collection is a great way to reminisce about the past. In addition to bringing the trilogy, the collection also adds online, extra modes, and even a modified game. However, it's an expensive bundle on PlayStation, and personally, it's a collection that basically sustains itself through the first title.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is awesome. FFVII Remake's excellent battle system is further enhanced, the story leaves the player (whether a veteran or newcomer to the series) intrigued to know what will happen, and there is an immense amount of content to be explored.

Tekken 8 is a natural evolution of a fantastic series.
