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.

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.

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.

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.

Jump Force is a good title for the manga and anime fans. However, the game does not manage to meet the expectations due to several technical problems as well as the lack of an interesting story

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster does a nice job at remastering two classic entries that were once absolute references in the JRPG genre. There are a bunch of improvements, such as the noticeable increase in battle speed as well as the ability to easily enable the auto-battle mode. However, the UI still lacks elements to actually make this feel like a revolutionary step-up when it comes to user experience.

Electronic Arts has managed to deliver yet another solid entry to the NBA Live franchise. Despite the fact that there are still some rough edges and that the game certainly has room to grow, the gameplay has been refined and 'The One' is even better than it was before. It may not be on par with other elite sports games, but NBA Live 19 still is a good and fun basketball game.

Despite lacking content in some of its game modes, like Franchise or Ultimate Team, Electronic Arts manages to deliver a very solid basketball game focused on "The One", where players will be able to become a legend whether it happens on the NBA, the streets, or perhaps even both. Also, the addition of the WNBA helps in order to give some uniqueness to its possibilities.

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.

My Hero One's Justice is a good fighting game that shines the most in the multiplayer and that will be truly appreciated by those who already are fans of the manga/anime. Despite its lack of depth regarding single player content, it is an enjoyable experiencie due to the fine adaptation of the heroes and villains as well as because of its funny customization system.

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.

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.

God Eater 3 stands as the first pure experience of the God Eater franchise away from the handheld consoles. In the end, it turns out that Shift did a really good job with a game that cherishes its characters as well as its possibilities in the battlefield.

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.

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.

NBA 2K19 is the best basketball simulator out there. The depth of its game modes will allow the players to entertain themselves for a massive amount of time. However, microtransactions still remain a strong element, even if they are not as much as in last year's entry.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a tremendously unusual venture for a challenge giant like FromSoftware. As a sort of hybrid of a battle royale, a hero shooter, and the Souls-like genre itself, Elden Ring Nightreign stands out as a very solid experience in FromSoftware's catalog that could offer the developer a lot of potential.

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.

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.
