65 / 100 - Brawlout
Sep 1, 2018

Brawlout is a simple fighting title that features mechanics clearly inspired by the Super Smash Bros series, with some differences. The cast of characters has no charisma, but the guest characters (Juan, Drifter and Yooka-Laylee) are good additions. The online mode is functional with players in the same region. The biggest problem is the gameplay, which is a bit strange to get used to, especially with the impact of the attacks. If you are looking for a Smash Bros on PlayStation consoles, it is worth checking it out, but have in mind that it is an inferior version of the Nintendo brawler.

Star Wars: Battlefront II is a wasted opportunity. The game was totally on track, fixing everything the first title did wrong and keeping the gorgeous graphics and perfect sounds. In the end, we have a mediocre single-player campaign, an ordinary Arcade mode and a varied multiplayer that suffers with lag, balancing, and a progression system tied to randomness.

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.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm's Farewell Bonus Episode tells how Max said goodbye to Chloe before they meet again in Life is Strange. It is an episode that will be best enjoyed if you have played both games before. The story is touching, but we already know many things and even its end before we even begin playing. It is worth checking out because we can see more of Max and Chloe, but it is not an important episode - far from it.

70 / 100 - KarmaZoo
Nov 22, 2023

KarmaZoo has a proposal that in practice only works by playing with friends. It's almost impossible to complete and have fun with randoms. In the end, it's an interesting platform game, with a unique concept, but honestly it's only worth playing with acquaintances.

70 / 100 - VISCO Collection
Nov 6, 2023

VISCO Collection is a collection that helps preserve VISCO's gaming history. Some titles are pretty fun (Bang Bead, FlipShot, and Neo DriftOut), while others are average (Goal! Goal! Goal!, Ganryu and Andro Dunos) or lousy (Captain Tomaday).

70 / 100 - Synapse
Jul 4, 2023

Synapse is a roguelite shooter with an interesting idea, but without much depth. With the aim of repeating the areas to become stronger and more agile, in addition to a simple plot, Synapse is worth checking out for its fun gameplay and nothing more.

70 / 100 - Kayak VR: Mirage
Mar 7, 2023

Kayak VR: Mirage is one of the best graphics ever seen in VR. It's a great title to relax and enjoy the scenery. However, there are few locations and the race mode can be quite stressful.

70 / 100 - Wanted: Dead
Feb 14, 2023

Wanted: Dead is a simple and straightforward yet challenging action game. The story is bad, there are few levels and the minigames are generally uninteresting. On the other hand, the gameplay is pretty good once you get the hang of it. If you don't care about the plot, overlook some technical problems and have the patience to learn the game, you might end up finding a good source of fun.

Oct 4, 2022

Valkyrie Elysium has a very good combat system and a great soundtrack. However, its story is shallow, its campaign is short, and the graphics are bad.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a simple, short and easy platform game. Despite the new coat of paint on the graphics and animations, it's still the same PS1 game underneath. If your nostalgia for the title is high, it might be worth checking out. Otherwise, because of its low difficulty, it's a game recommended for children. The duration, however, will be short in any case.

Gunborg: Dark Matters is a challenging 2D action game. It is fun and at the same time frustrating for its difficulty. However, the biggest complaint is about the buttons on the triggers: playing a 2D platform title with many functions on the L and R buttons can be very annoying.

70 / 100 - Back 4 Blood
Oct 25, 2021

Back 4 Blood has many frustrating moments with its numerous hordes and unbalanced difficulty spikes. Besides, it's quite repetitive and has a weak story. Its card system only starts to get more interesting after practically finishing the campaign at least once. In the end, Back 4 Blood is only suitable for those looking for a cooperative experience and who would overlook the points mentioned.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is clearly a clone of Smash Bros. which ends up pleasing for its solid gameplay and flawless online. However, the single-player content is basically non-existent and the multiplayer is very competitively oriented – those looking for something "chaotic" may be disappointed.

Touhou Hyouibana Antinomy of Common Flowers is a simple fighting game and nothing more. It has a good soundtrack and mechanics that any player can master. Its biggest flaw is perhaps this simplicity that quickly becomes monotonous.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is a good collection and allows you, in a way, to choose which titles you want in different packages. However, the list of famous games that are missing is remarkable and an online multiplayer is also lacking.

70 / 100 - Tin & Kuna
Oct 26, 2020

Tin & Kuna is a good platform and puzzle game. It has a variety of challenges and the gameplay is satisfactory. However, it is a relatively short title and, despite the variety, it is monotonous to keep pushing and taking objects throughout the stages.

70 / 100 - Superliminal
Jul 21, 2020

Superliminal is a puzzle game that will challenge your perception. It has intelligent challenges, but at the same time it has very simple mechanics and a short duration. In a maximum of three hours you will finish the title for the first time, and what remains after that is to improve your time on puzzles that you already know the answer.

70 / 100 - Effie
Jun 5, 2019

Effie is a fine action and 3D platform game. The combat is bad, but the platform part is good. Do not expect complexity, though. Effie is a simple title, either because of its story or difficulty.

The Nightmare continues the series of DLCs for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It's the best among the DLCs that's been released so far, with a little piece of story from Lara's past and a somewhat challenging tomb. Cooperative mode is present, which is a good thing. However, it is a short DLC and nothing groundbreaking.
