10 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 5
Nov 4, 2021

Expedition 33 is one of those experiences that redefine your concept of what an RPG can be. What Sandfall Interactive has achieved in their debut is simply astonishing: a narrative that captivates you from the first second with adult characters facing complex moral dilemmas; a revolutionary turn-based combat system that transforms each encounter into a strategic dance full of tension; and a visually stunning world that masterfully blends Belle Époque with dark fantasy. The conversations at the campfires have made me laugh, cry, and reflect on life itself. Its bosses have challenged me like few games manage to do. And its soundtrack continues to resonate in my head weeks after finishing the adventure. More than a game, it's an interactive work of art that will remain in my memory for years. Without exaggeration, one of the best debuts from a studio that I've seen in decades as both a player and critic.

9.6 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 28, 2023

Alan Wake II is the big surprise of the year, a title that gets fully into the fight of the GOTY 2023 and elevates the Survival-Horror genre to another level. A never-before-seen level where I can only pour praise on it. If you are afraid this game is not for you, but if it is not the case I recommend that you sit back and enjoy it. Thank you Remedy.

‎Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is an ode to tabletop role-playing games that transports us to a world where we will live the game in the first person.

Satisfactory 1.0 is the culmination of years of development, community feedback, and constant polishing. The result is a deep, addictive and, yes, tremendously satisfying game (and pardon the pun, but there is no better way to describe it). If you're into building, optimizing or simply creating gigantic things, don't hesitate: Satisfactory is your game. It's the kind of experience that absorbs you completely, challenges you intellectually, and rewards you with the satisfaction of seeing your creations come to life.
