Neon Drive is a rhythm game extremely hard with a cyberpunk atmosphere. There are only 8 stages, but all varied and with unique challenges. The higher difficulty levels will make you throw the controller away, as well as the Endurance mode. It is not a game for everyone.

Sonic Mania has the essence of the classic Genesis games offering a variety of stages with new and nostalgic features. It is possible to see the passion of the developers in creating a game with what the fans wanted when it comes to graphics, soundtrack and above all the gameplay.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has an interesting plot, a good fighting mechanic and excellent graphics. The quality of the audio is out of this world. The problem is the combat variety (in the end, you'll be bored) and due to the focus on the narrative, many people may find the game monotonous. However, those who give a chance will find a good story.

The Necromancer is a welcome addition to Diablo III. It is a well done class and it is clearly nostalgic. Besides, it is also a reason to go back and play to collect loot and more loot. The biggest problem is the price: 15 dollars for one class is too expansive.

Episode Prompto is more interesting than Episode Gladiolus. There's a story that explains Prompto's origins, a kind of open world with side and main missions and a different however functional gameplay. Furthermore, we have the best partner: Aranea. When the player finishes the story, there are some extra modes to play. Given its price, there is a lot of content. The problems are the uninspired bosses and the almost nonexistent difficulty.

Cars 3: Driven to Win is a very simple game. It has a noteworthy content, however it becomes repetitive after some time, even with the local multiplayer. Besides that, the absence of a real story mode and an online multiplayer is a bummer.

Regarding its gameplay and multiplayer, Tekken 7 provides the best: new mechanics, balance, great variety of characters and even a never before seen online mode. However, its single-player, something the series is appraised for, is a letdown. There are few options and the lone player, instead of playing them, will take his time customizing his characters.

Injustice 2 is an awesome fighting game. It has a solid story mode and an incredible variety in the Multiverse and customization modes. The online mode is very good as well. There are some new mechanics in the gameplay and new characters, but the game's foundation is very much alike its predecessor, and it could have a little more innovation and variety, as seen when Mortal Kombat (2011) evolved to Mortal Kombat X.

Yooka-Laylee is heavily inspired on Banjo-Kazooie and will be enjoyed by the fans that are thirsty for a new plaform and adventure 3D game. There are issues, like some moves for the characters, the weak transformations and the uninspired hub world. But overall, the game delivers its promise.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix is the perfect starting point to understand Sora's saga. It is a package with almost all games (the rest is found in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue) and because of that the collection has a lot of content and many hours of gameplay. The technical side, with the day one patch applied, is solid and it has a better perfomance than the PS3 versions. The only problem is for the fans: there is nothing new for them.

Banned Footage Vol. 2 is a better DLC than Vol. 1, with very good new additions: a mode that explains what happened before the main story of the base game, a blackjack game and an innovative, challenging, varied and addictive minigame. The problems are almost non existent - even the story mode of this DLC has two endings. However, the price of this DLC is higher than the previous one.

Banned Footage Vol.1 is a good DLC, with three different modes: a great puzzle (Bedroom), a survival mode with a very interesting way to obtain items (Nightmare) and the very challenging Ethan Must Die with roguelike elements. The problem is the replay of this modes: Bedroom is short and does not provide entertainment after you know the puzzle, Nightmare is repetitive and Ethan Must Die is a random only with its items, and because of that it is not a true roguelike game.
