8 / 10.0 - The Quarry
Jun 13, 2022

The Quarry is simply a perfect return to a horror atmosphere that Supermassive knows how to do so well. It's by no means a revolutionary masterpiece, it still has some historical flaws for the studio, but it's a well-executed homage to a horror genre that still has weapons to show, if used wisely. It was not an easy task, but The Quarry managed to give us an unforgettable stay in the woods, with plenty of choices to go through and relive over and over again to delve into its well-hidden mystery.

4 / 10.0 - Babylon's Fall
Mar 7, 2022

Babylon's Fall is simply a nonsensical title that conceptually could have worked and at times seems to, but then the predatory and currency-locked design comes into play and ruins the whole experience, if not completely nullifies it. This is literally a "Pay 2 Enjoy" title, meaning that in order to enjoy the best armour, aesthetics and rewards the only way is to either pay or agree not to do so and be fobbed off with armour recycled from Final Fantasy XIV (and at this point we'd recommend spending the money on that). We don't know how long Babylon's Fall will go on, but the only way to at least save the game will be to remove the premium shop completely and put its rewards in as drops for major tasks, then maybe Platinum's Games' tried-and-true rhythm will keep a loyal niche.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crusader Kings III
Aug 31, 2020

Crusader Kings III travels on a road traced by its ancestors, paving it with care and adding decorations to its eyelashes. The updates to the general game system are evident, as well as the purity of the historical and social soul that has always distinguished the dynastic strategy of Paradox.

8.5 / 10.0 - Disco Elysium
Oct 24, 2019

Disco Elysium brings the promised RPG revolution, and you can be sure of that. The narrative is layered, complex and divided into two macro levels that analyze the story, the society of the setting and the delicate psychology of a destroyed mind, also leaving the player the task of building the interiority of the alter-ego in the way he prefers.

Monster Hunter World was already a great game in all respects, but Iceborne is undoubtedly the spearhead that consecrates Capcom's adventure, focusing everything on numbers, quality and covering the few flaws left to the basic experience in order to perfect it.

8.5 / 10.0 - God Eater 3
Feb 6, 2019

God Eater 3 is a blast. It has all the charisma of an action-packed anime and the gameplay that we all know and love. It is a great restart of the series, which proves that this franchise could work very well on home consoles, maybe even better than its portable predecessors.

From the perspective of a new fan, who wants to approach the series, this is undoubtedly an excellent starting point to really appreciate the Tales of and understand the caliber of the development team behind these famous JRPGs. In addition to having an outstanding cast and a compelling story, the gameplay is super fun, rich and solid at the right point, putting itself in a middle point between tradition and modern conceptions that we can observe in the current generation.

6 / 10.0 - Darksiders III
Nov 26, 2018

Darksiders III is a desperate attempt to keep something alive on the verge of death. Although the plot is quite interesting and Fury one of the most characterized knights, the gameplay is far from enthant and innovative, indeed it is a step backwards. The new direction taken by Gunfire Games for the game mode is unconvincing, giving space to structures that do not go well with the philosophy of Darksiders. Moreover, the new ideas have not been even remotely realized with hindsight, creating several problems both in the design of the levels and in the general balance of the enemies and contents, except for the beautiful boss fights.

May 4, 2018

Monster Prom is simply hell-a fun. With an amazing art style and a cast of lovable characters, this game has every ingredient to get you hooked to it, if you are a type that feeds on internet culture. Plus, is a very hard dating sim, even for veterans of thousands visual novels.

7 / 10.0 - Impact Winter
Apr 10, 2018

Impact Winter has very good ideas, especially regarding the gameplay and its artistic choices. Unfortunately, they get buried under a pletora of technical problems and a choppy frame-rate. Just like the snow, Impact Winter hides the remains of our civilization in the game.

The third book of Pillars of the Earth by Daedelic Entertainment is a worthy finale for a great episodic narrative game. Every scene is perfectly depicted and even voice actors reach new surprising heights. Overall the game is splendid as the cathedral made in this story.

3 / 10.0 - Super Seducer
Mar 16, 2018

Super Seducer is just a crappy documentary putted for sale as a game. The only fun you will experience playing it is when La Ruina acts like an idiot.

8.5 / 10.0 - Into The Breach
Mar 12, 2018

Into the Breach is another title that confirms Subset Games ability to innovate turn-based strategy with creativity and a simple approach. Playing chess with altering time robots has never been so utterly delightful!
