Cristian M. Villa's Reviews

Loved video games as a kid, made a living out of them as an adult. Also working on a ton of anime stuff.
7 / 10.0 - FAIRY TAIL 2
Dec 11, 2024

Fairy Tail 2 is a complex project; on the one hand, it encompasses the end of the anime while on the other hand it leaves multiple story arcs untouched. Nevertheless, it also provides original content through character interactions as well as a never before seen original storyline. Gameplay-wise, the reworked battle system helps, but in the end it becomes kind of repetitive after not that many hours. Overall, it is a videogame that will be appreciated specially by fans of the anime.

Dragon Ball: SPARKING! Zero is the video game that all Budokai Tenkaichi fans wished for. Visually its battles are stunning, and it plays at a pace that can be as frantic as a Dragon Ball battle from the anime. There's also a bunch of characters and game modes that will keep it alive for quite some time, especially the Custom Battle mode. Sadly, the Story Mode is quite lacking. It has some good ideas but they are executed pretty badly. There's clearly some unfulfilled potential there.

7.8 / 10.0 - NBA 2K25
Sep 5, 2024

NBA 2K25 offers a very complete experience that comes from presenting an overwhelming amount of content that is fused with truly advanced RPG elements for a basketball simulator. Essentially, it is a very good video game that is limited by a recurring problem: the weight of microtransactions.

Infinite Wealth improves on everything over Ichiban Kasuga's first entry. The RPG elements are well polished and expanded and the secondary content such as Dondoko Island or the Sujimon hunt is hilarious, absorbing and well worth your time. Overall, Kasuga is just a great new main character, and the main story manages to strike a proper balance between a ton of comedy... and drama.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is not simply a short story to contextualize the presence and appearance of Kazuma Kiryu in the chronology and history of Ichiban Kasuga. In the same way that Yakuza 0 ended up representing a magnificent 'separate' installment, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name also manages to maintain itself by pulling nostalgia and some other curious novelty.

9.9 / 10.0 - Baldur's Gate 3
Sep 2, 2023

Baldur's Gate 3 is everything you could wish for if you love Dungeons and Dragons or if you've ever wanted to play but, unfortunately, can't find a party to play with. The possibilities are practically endless, and although within logical conceptual limits as a video game, the experience proposed by Larian Studios is an incredibly replayable and unique. It is definitely an RPG experience as you will hardly find again on console.

Armored Core VI is a revolution in the mecha genre, a video game that manages to drink from everything FromSoftware has learned over this last decade of success strongly linked to Souls-like. This installment has truly challenging peaks at the level of difficulty, and that precisely enhances its great strength: the player's imagination to build a mecha that adapts to the circumstances.

9.2 / 10.0 - Diablo IV
Jun 5, 2023

Diablo IV is a highly addictive video game that boasts wonderful aesthetics and world-building and level-up design. It is a perfect dark adventure to get lost during a barbarity of dozens of hours and of which you will hardly get tired.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is the perfect representation of how to build the remake of a video game. Absolutely EVERYTHING of the Capcom classic has been recreated with an almost insane technique and taste, and especially those who enjoyed the original at the time will be able to marvel not only at what it is really a new generation video game, but a rebirth with all the law.

Like A Dragon: Ishin! it's like all Yakuza in a sense: it will blow you away for knowing how to combine a serious and solid narrative with completely absurd moments. On the other hand, it differs a LOT from other installments of the franchise, to the point that it becomes a video game that can be a great wink for the most familiar, or a very curious entry point for those who dive for the first time.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers aims to offer a different experience that simply does not just curdle. Not so much because of the concept, which surely already throws back more than one Dragon Ball fan, but because the execution itself leaves something to be desired. Both at the level of game balance and even something as basic as player matchmaking, this bet simply falls very short.

10 / 10.0 - Elden Ring
Feb 23, 2022

‎Elden Ring is a resounding step up from today's soul-like standards. FromSoftware thus gestates a video game like no other has created, in which a gigantic and absorbing universe will surprise players again and again despite the dozens of hours they accumulate. Elden Ring is, without a doubt, one of the great candidates to become the GOTY of 2022.‎

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is the purest essence of chaos; a story that could perfectly take place in the wildest Las Vegas... if Las Vegas could wipe out the entire galaxy, they'd have shots and explosions all in and your friends would be rolling it to the minimum you turn to the other side. In essence: a fast-paced journey that will not disappoint absolutely anyone looking for a story to vibrate with, whether they are a Marvel fan or not.‎

8 / 10.0 - Back 4 Blood
Oct 11, 2021

‎The creators of Left 4 Dead return with Back 4 Blood, a cooperative experience in which to pass over hundreds, thousands of zombies with their hearts in a fist. But this is not just about killing; Back 4 Blood also has a truly interesting strategic component that is nourished, above all, by its customizable system of card advantages.‎

‎Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is, in short, an interesting proposition for both Monster Hunter and Pokémon players. Capcom seamlessly fuses both concepts into a product with a greater emphasis on the story not so prominent in both franchises, and in which some details deprive it of being one of the most outstanding games of all of 2021.‎

‎Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection allows us to relive Ryu Hayabusa's story like never before, with a number of better techniques than the genre in which it is located are greatly appreciated. However, the scarcity of novelties in terms of controls cause the return of 'the ninja' not to occur as spectacularly as the figure would claim.‎

‎Mass Effect: Legendary Edition puts at the reach of every player the possibility to relive one of the most iconic trilogies in the video game industry. The process, however, is much more than just a 'rescue'; The set of technical improvements, additional content and the space magic of adventures make this an essential bet for every player who loves purer BioWare.‎

Whether you're both a veteran and a novice, Monster Hunter Rise drinks and feeds the latest news from the franchise, incorporating a number of new features such as the Frenzy and The Machine that keep ip at a very high level.

4 / 10.0 - Cyberpunk 2077
Dec 16, 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 is a title that maintains the foundations of what makes it a great bet, sending everything to the side due to a terrible performance. From frame drops to annoying bugs and crashes; CD Projekt RED forgets about the previous generation consoles.

This charming mythological tale excels in its action, puzzle solving, characters dialogue and virtually every aspect it deals with, making it one of the best games created by Ubisoft in years.
