8.5 / 10.0 - Tetris Forever
Nov 15, 2024

Discover the story behind the creation of one of the most iconic games of all time in a unique interactive documentary with video and text, accompanied by 14 playable versions of Tetris. Sadly, the Game Boy version, arguably the most important, is missing.

Capcom's nostalgic package of classic comic book arcade games delivers exactly what you expect. Unfortunately, it doesn't really add anything extra.

Digital Eclipse have set the bar pretty high with their previous collections, and here they have lowered it a little. However, they have still given us a great game in perhaps its best form yet.

The ravages of time are already showing on Sonic Generations, and while visually it's a very good improvement, some of the content changes are unnecessary and the gameplay hasn't aged well. Shadows Generations, by comparison, at least offers something fresh, albeit shorter. But it does manage to entertain, and you can enjoy those few hours with the game. Overall, this remaster isn't bad at all, but it also shows that Sonic has a problem these days and doesn't quite know how to deal with it.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure does a lot of things well. When it comes to Max and her emotional and personal journey from trauma to self-discovery, it works. The main character entertains you, tugs at your heartstrings, and you're happy to be on this journey with her. But when it comes to the twists and turns of the story and the internal logic of the plot of the new game, that's where it starts to creak.

Sometimes less is more, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a great example of this. It would have benefited from being shorter and stripped of the redundant and repetitive content that even crosses the line into annoying. The pacing would be better, the content wouldn't feel so schematic, and the game would be more enjoyable.

Nikoderiko does things you already know from other games. Only it does them in a worse way. You want a game like that? Play Crash. Play Donkey Kong Country. Play the new Astro Bot, even though it's a different kind of platform game. All of these games are much better and won't frustrate you with stupid bugs or even glitches. If anything stands out here, it's the graphics and the local co-op.

I can't say that I didn't enjoy Unknown 9: Awakening. I liked some aspects of it, Haroona is a likeable character and the world manages to intrigue me. But mechanically and technologically, it's a game lost in time. It's as if someone suddenly discovered it in a drawer where it had been lying around since 2007. These days, action-adventure games like this are made better, funnier and more variable.

All in all, Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn't really have too many negatives. It's a really fun party collection of mini-games that will appeal to the whole family and a bunch of friends. It offers a great selection of minigames, well-tuned mechanics, dynamic maps and a bunch of side modes as well. The core of the game hasn't really changed, so it kind of feels like an expansion to Super Mario Party.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is a dream come true for long-time fans who have waited years for a new Budokai Tenkaichi installment. While it doesn't introduce anything groundbreaking, it offers enjoyable gameplay and a massive amount of content that can keep you entertained for dozens of hours. However, the game is not trying to attract new players'it's made strictly for fans and won't have much appeal to others.

6 / 10.0 - NHL 25
Oct 8, 2024

NHL 25 plays better than the last few games in the series, but it doesn't bring any real changes, improvements or new features. In the end, it's just an overpriced update.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a unique blend of 3D platforming action-adventure for the whole family with Warren Spector's intelligent design that can easily last 15-20 hours. Or even more. It's a very good game, but some aspects of it haven't aged the best.

8 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 25
Sep 30, 2024

EA Sports FC 25 builds on the great technological innovations of last year's edition and takes them a little further, making football more realistic and tactical. And you have much more and better control over it all. However, the game doesn't offer any major innovations to convince you that this is the edition you need to pick up.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom may not be a game for everyone. Maybe not even a game for every Zelda fan. It does things differently, turns the traditional formula on its head and asks you to do something other than traditional combat. But that's what impressed me about it. It's not trying to do the same thing that worked five years ago. It's building on that, but it's doing something new, something fresh and something interesting that's hard to tear yourself away from.

Telltale has really naild the writing here, and they've also played around with the gameplay, which is more varied and variable than in the past. The old flaws are still there, unfortunately, but if you can get past them, you get a really stylish, witty and entertaining adventure game that will easily take you 15 hours to play.

Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is both an honest piece of work and a fun game that capitalises beautifully on the retro charm of classic NES action games, where it was all about skill and the ability to learn things that the game wants to surprise and test you with. Even this remake expands on the original with brand new content. It's just that it's still very little, and there are even a few minor setbacks that detract from the overall experience.

Even after all these years, Broken Sword 1 still feels like a good book that you want to read a chapter of before going to bed, but can't put down. Now, however, it's more beautiful than ever.

It's a big, fun game with an interesting story and a likeable protagonist that brings a new perspective to the Star Wars universe. The story of the Rebels' fight against the Empire takes on new shape through her eyes. And just as she brings a new perspective to the story, she brings a new gameplay to the universe. One based on intelligent and quiet progression through well-designed environments. You can enjoy all of this here, except that the game would have benefited from another 2 months or so of fine-tuning.

9.5 / 10.0 - Doom II
Aug 16, 2024

When you combine timeless and fun gameplay with the love of the community and the development team, you get something really special. Whether you've played the classic Dooms or not, don't hesitate to pick it up.

8.5 / 10.0 - World of Goo 2
Aug 13, 2024

The game offers a quality experience with an elaborate story that plays with time and space and requires the player to think. Although the price of '26.99 is higher than expected for an indie game, the quality and length somehow make up for it. The game has simple and intuitive controls, but unclear instructions can slow down progress. The aesthetics and music stay true to the original game, while maintaining a timeless and appealing design.
