The second episode of Life is Strange 2 continues the journey of the two brothers and explores more of Daniel's power. The presence of Captain Spirit is interesting. Certain events, however, did not cause the impact they intended to because they were too predictable. The consequence at the end of the episode was also not my intention considering my choices. It is a relatively good episode and provides more information about the family of the two brothers, but has few interesting moments.

The Heist is a DLC that seems incomplete. The story is interesting, but it ends up a bit too soon and therefore without any conclusion. We know there are two others DLCs on the way, but there is a feeling that an arc of the plot hasn't been finalized. In addition, the main missions and side activities are quite similar to the base game, presenting little or no novelty in the gameplay. It's worth it because it's more Spider-Man, but do not expect something really interesting.

Final Fantasy XV's Royal Pack welcomes some new features. Battles with the new bosses (as well as the entire Insomnia map), the first person mode and the boat in Altissia make the package worthwhile. Unfortunately, its price doesn't justify the package.

70 / 100 - Rad Rodgers
Apr 3, 2018

Rad Rodgers is a simple platform and action game that aims to please those who miss the 90s. It has simple mechanics and non-linear stages. The biggest problems is the layout of the stages, that can confuse the player at certain points. In addition, the enemies and weapons are repetitive.

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.

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.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution is an incredibly immersive and rich post-apocalyptic experience. However, its high degree of realism is exactly one of its negative points. Another problem is that it's basically mandatory to play its predecessor. The summary presented is not enough to understand everything that happened and make you care about the characters.

Breakers Collection is a good collection of two relatively unknown fighting games, including extra content like online and gallery modes. The games themselves, Breakers and Breakers Revenge, are good, with simple and enjoyable gameplay.

Capcom Fighting Collection is a good collection of fighting games, offering a little bit of everything. It's pretty basic, offering what you'd expect and nothing more. It is more aimed at fans of Darkstalkers or those who want to know games like Red Earth. The simultaneous matchmaking for more than one online game deserves praise, however. The launch price, on the other hand, can be an issue.

75 / 100 - Kao the Kangaroo
May 27, 2022

Kao the Kangaroo is a good 3D platform game, offering just the right amount of fun for those who like the genre. However, it is relatively short and easy, being aimed more at a younger audience. Also, some annoying bugs need to be fixed.

75 / 100 - Soundfall
May 23, 2022

Soundfall is a game that makes an excellent first impression, but it ends up becoming boring throughout its numerous stages. Despite being extremely challenging, its RPG side requires unnecessary grinding. Co-op, while being nice, can be frustrating for those who want to achieve the perfect scores.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is a must-have collection for those who have never played one of the best action series. However, it is clear that many aspects have aged badly, such as the camera and graphics, and could have been polished in this collection. In that light, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection offers only the bare minimum you would expect from a remaster.

75 / 100 - Pumpkin Jack
Mar 15, 2021

Pumpkin Jack is a simple and fun game that resembles MediEvil. The biggest flaw, perhaps, is the absence of a high difficulty or one that increases as you progress (from start to finish, the title is easy). However, this does not detract from the fun and despite this simplicity, Pumpkin Jack has its charm and it isn't boring at any time.

Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is a good collection of the series, offering even an online mode with good netcode, the never before released Samurai Shodown V Perfect and a museum with good content. The downsides are the absence of a Training Mode, the museum could be better in certain aspects and the bad side of the online mode in every game: it is desert.

Life is Strange 2 delivers a strong message and it's impossible for you not to feel some emotions while playing through the five episodes. Nevertheless, the story is not as interesting as the first game, most characters are not memorable and above all: the character we control (Sean) has no powers (only his brother has). That is, we play in a passive way, guiding Daniel. The mechanics of going back in time from the original Life is Strange are what made it unique, while its absence here makes it just another adventure among so many others.

75 / 100 - MediEvil
Oct 23, 2019

MediEvil is a good way to remember the PlayStation classic. The game is basically the same, with a great new paint layer, freer camera control and a few extras. However, besides being relatively short, MediEvil has a considerably high number of collision bugs and the new camera is not very good in many moments.

The Grand Caiman is possibly the best DLC that Shadow of the Tomb Raider has received so far, but this doesn't mean it's great. The story is quite simple, although the tomb is interesting.

SEGA Genesis Classics is a great collection of Genesis games. The list is diversified and quite complete, despite the absence of certain titles, such as Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles. The hub with a nostalgic look is good and the challenges are interesting, but they should be in a larger number - 1 per game, at least. The online, however, is bad.

75 / 100 - FOX n FORESTS
May 27, 2018

Fox n Forests is a good action and platform game that captures the vibe of the SNES games very well. It has a simple gameplay and provides a nice challenge. The problem lies in the fact that you need to replay the stages to get hidden items and gain access to new levels - this ends up getting boring.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a game with positive and negative points. It has a confusing gameplay in the beginning (even with its tutorial), but with dedication it becomes addictive. On the other hand, because of the three-character mechanics and if you do not have friends to play with you, it can end up being frustrating. Offline mode lacks content as well: there is an Arcade mode with a few variations and a story mode that is only advanced by playing the other modes. Finally, online mode may present lag in certain matches. In the end, like I said before, the game is very addictive: you'll want to keep playing, even if you win or lose.
