30 / 100 - Tamarin
Dec 26, 2020

Tamarin is disappointing. Bad gameplay and prevented from progressing by constant crashes, there is a moment when you simply give up on a game.

40 / 100 - Altair Breaker
Mar 20, 2023

Altair Breaker has interesting gameplay, but that's about it. It's a repetitive, limited game whose fun ends quickly.

40 / 100 - Samurai Maiden
Dec 8, 2022

SAMURAI MAIDEN mixes two completely opposite genres (action and visual novel) and fails to excel in either one. It is a weak, boring game with awful graphics, bad music, unresponsive controls and a monotonous story. The character models are very nice and the action is a little pleasing after evolving a lot and unlocking different moves, but it's not worth it.

50 / 100 - Gensou Skydrift
Jul 5, 2021

Gensou Skydrift is another Mario Kart clone, but with strange commands and horrible graphics.

The Forge presents a rather bland story and a tomb with a somewhat interesting challenge. The cooperative online mode is a valid addition and we hope the upcoming DLCs will also offer this.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is an extremely casual fighting game. It seeks to simplify the mechanics of the King of Fighters series to make them simpler and with random elements, like items. In the end, this will not please any type of player. The customization of the girls is quite considerable, but there are many limitations. The rest of the game does not please either. Acquire it only if you are a fan of SNK, but take notice that you may be disappointed.

50 / 100 - Race Arcade
Aug 20, 2018

Race Arcade is an extremely simple top-down racing game. You control different types of vehicles (even an UFO) in different championships. There is also a local multiplayer mode that can be enjoyed if you have friends who like this type of game. Considering its low price, maybe you should give it a chance. However, the game has extremely simple graphics, almost non-existent music and low level of challenge.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is a game with a simple proposal, but it turns out to be quite challenging in the final stages. The difficulty becomes frustrating, depending on your interest in the game. Minigames are something else, but nothing that makes you spend a lot of time on them, even in multiplayer. In the end, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD ends up offering little content to the player.

"The Price of Survival" has more story content than the previous DLCs, because of the inclusion of puzzles. However, it is weak. The tomb in question, even with a puzzle that seems to be challenging at first glance, is also dull and the shortest available so far via DLC.

60 / 100 - Firewall Ultra
Sep 11, 2023

Firewall Ultra is a simple game, with few modes at launch and that depend on a very time-consuming matchmaking. In addition, the gameplay explores little of the capabilities of VR. With the promised support, Ultra Firewall may be better in the future, but it's hard to recommend it at the moment.

The Pillar features an interesting tomb with beautiful graphics. However, the plot is weak and the lack of an online co-op is noteworthy.

Turf Wars is a very simple and short DLC. The fighting is challenging and some missions are interesting, but the story has a poor development and there is no novelty in the gameplay. Like the previous DLC, it's "more of the same".

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.

65 / 100 - Goat Simulator 3
Dec 26, 2022

Goat Simulator 3 is full of unfunny jokes, several once-funny exaggerations, and pretty obvious references. Underneath all this mess, we have an interesting gameplay. But still, Goat Simulator 3 is basically an open world game made entirely of bad sidequests.

The Rumble Fish 2 is an interesting fighting game, featuring unique characters and also distinct mechanics. However, the port for consoles leaves something to be desired, especially in the technical part (there are no graphic filters or options in this regard) and online. At least there are some extra modes (besides Arcade) that should increase its lifespan.

Asterix & Obelix: Slap them All! is a simple beat'em up with magnificent graphics. Unfortunately, although beautiful, it is repetitive and becomes boring easily.

Balan Wonderworld is not a complete disaster – there are some interesting ideas at certain points in the journey and the soundtrack is often striking. However, the mechanics of the costumes (that are the heart of the game) aren't very good and are very unbalanced. In addition, the design of the levels is strange and Balan's Bout minigame is just horrible.

Destroy All Humans! is a good remake of a game that has become a cult classic over time. It has refined graphics in a new engine, but at the same time an excessive number of loadings. Regarding the base material, it has a good mood in certain parts, but the really fun parts (like destroying everything) are overshadowed by the bad stealth missions.

65 / 100 - Shenmue III
Jan 8, 2020

Shenmue 3 is a game created for fans that have been expecting a new title for almost 20 years. Although certain elements were modernized, such as smoother controls and graphics, the progression of the story and the overall structure returned to being as slow as it was in Shenmue I. In fact, the two parts that exist in the game are very similar in structure - it seems that you play it twice. The combat system, which now has RPG elements, doesn't look very good either. It is not a horrible game - far from it, but after waiting all this time we would like to see a natural evolution in its mechanics or story, and not the same thing again.

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD is a summarized experience of what Final Fantasy XV offers. It's an interesting game, but it's hard to recommend it when we have Final Fantasy XV itself. Try it only if you want a shortened version of FFXV, otherwise choose the full version.
