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.

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.

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.

80 / 100 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 12, 2017

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.

95 / 100 - Injustice 2
May 29, 2017

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.

92 / 100 - Tekken 7
Jun 5, 2017

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

100 / 100 - Sonic Mania
Aug 21, 2017

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.

80 / 100 - Neon Drive
Aug 27, 2017

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.

Despite being a story prior to the original, Life is Strange: Before the Storm is best enjoyed if you consider it as a sequel. By far, the heart of the episode is the Chloe and Rachel encounter and we can finally learn more about this character that all Arcadia Bay loves. In the end, the story is interesting and prepares us for a second episode that will possibly bring strong feelings. The biggest problem of the episode are some graphics bugs and the control.

Resident Evil: Revelations on PS4 is basically the same game we've seen in the past generation, with a few graphical improvements. If you have already played it, especially in the 3DS where the title was more impressive, there is nothing new here. If you have not already done so, this new version is the best option available on the market.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite will probably please the competitive players with its very good netcode and new mechanics that bring new life to the classic series. However, the recycled cast and the lack of polishment in the single-player content can push away the more casual players.

The Evil Within 2 corrects many mistakes from the first game. It is an excellent survival horror title. However, there are some problems, like the story (it isn't as good as the first game), less memorable bosses than the original and some combat mechanics.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm continues to surprise with one of the best episodes of the entire series. There are unexpected moments and the ending leaves the player eagering to see what's coming next in the third and final chapter.

Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a very simple action and platform game. There are two ways you can play it: by ignoring the collectibles or not. Depending on your decision, the game might last between 1 to 5 hours. Either way, its simplicity remains. Play it to kill downtime, but only when it is on sale.

70 / 100 - Sonic Forces
Nov 14, 2017

Sonic Forces is not a bad game, but it isn't great either. Negative points: Classic Sonic gameplay, unnecessarily short (almost without alternative paths) and a simple story (even for a Sonic game). Positive points: Modern Sonic and Avatar gameplay, soundtrack (mainly Avatar stages), beautiful graphics at 60 frames per second and many challenges. Sonic fans will play it anyway, but if you're not a fan, play Sonic Mania instead.

The Frozen Wilds is a great expansion for one of the best games of 2017. The added content is quite significant and the main missions tell an interesting story, too. The addition of new machines, skills, equipment, weapons and collectibles make everything even better.
