Like a Dragon Gaiden is a fun but mostly inconsequential entry in the series. The shorter main campaign actually makes it more enjoyable as the expansive side content makes up for it. As a fan, I enjoyed the game but it's pretty clear that its main objective is just to keep us invested on the upcoming Infinite Wealth.

7.5 / 10.0 - Metroid Dread
Nov 23, 2021

There's no denying that Metroid Dread is a solid game. But I'm still disappointed at how safe the studio decided to play with this game. While the gameplay is solid, everything else is just "ok" and there's no innovation, leaving me feeling that the newest sequel to Metroid should've felt more influential on the future of the genre it popularized.

7.5 / 10.0 - Lost Judgment
Oct 5, 2021

A must buy for long-time fans of the Yakuza series. Lost Judgment is a game full of content, with an incredibly enjoyable combat system and a story that whilst does not land with both feet in its execution, still shows some touching moments.

Village is a more action-focused evolution of Resident Evil VII. The combat is dynamic, the exploration is rewarding and its visuals can be stunning. Even though the game overstays its welcome and it doesn't improve on every aspect of the series, I'd still call it one of the best Resident Evil games yet.

7.5 / 10.0 - Ghost of Tsushima
Aug 23, 2020

Ghost of Tsushima does not stray away from your typical AAA Open World game, but it does some small changes and improvements that make it a lot more pleasant and fun than other games in the genre. The game's combat is satisfying (the stealth is not), and it's got one of the most beautiful worlds I've ever had the pleasure to play in.

Final Fantasy VII Remake boasts an incredibly fun combat system under a fantastic soundtrack and beautiful visuals. Unfortunately, the writing does not do its narrative any favors, and the game released with a fair share of issues.

Mar 9, 2024

I highly recommend Blasphemous 2 to any Metroidvania fan. It's a great sequel with snappy, satisfying combat and movement, great exploration and a heavy, brutal and memorable world.

Mario Party Superstars is the perfect party game to play with your family and friends this Christmas. There's a lot of content, a lot of variety and tons of fun to be had with its mini-games.

8 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Jan 25, 2020

It's hard to avoid the cliché "This game is not for everyone" when reviewing Death Stranding. It's equally hard to recommend it to anyone who doesn't like to walk a lot in video games. Even so, if you're open to new experiences in AAA games, you might be surprised, as long as you don't expect good writing and short cutscenes. Finishing the game after about 40 hours, I can say that it was mostly a solid experience with engaging, polished gameplay, excellent sountrack and stunning visuals.

8 / 10.0 - Blasphemous
Oct 13, 2019

Blasphemous is a merciless Metroidvania with a satisfying combat, despite the weak platforming, its boss fights are extremely entertaining and the art style is amazing, as it establishes a very engaging setting.

8 / 10.0 - Moonlighter
Nov 28, 2018

Moonlighter is a fun and challenging game that will entertain you for a considerable amount of hours. Its visuals, melodic charm and addicting gameplay are the label of a good indie game. If you enjoy the genre, don't miss this.

Detroit: Become Human is a solid interactive narrative from start to finish and David Cage's best game yet. For 39.99€ (at the moment of writing) it is worth the buy, especially if you like the genre.

8.3 / 10.0 - Devil May Cry 5
Mar 26, 2019

Mechanically speaking, Devil May Cry 5 is the best game the saga has seen, for now. Unfortunately, the Art Direction - even though the game looks great - does not fit right with the game's narrative tone. DMC5 does not evolve the series forward, compared to its predecessors, but it does boast a fluid and frantic combat, that combined with some new weapons at your disposal, make this the best gameplay Dante and Nero have yet to offer, which end up overshadowing the repetitive V in the process.

The Last of Us Part II is a technical marvel, one of the best looking games of this gen with a phenomenal soundtrack and sound design and a gameplay loop where every encounter is suffocating and extremely satisfying. Its narrative doesn't always stick the landing, however, it is still a memorable tale about conflict and bonds between flawed human beings on a world which lacks humanity.

8.5 / 10.0 - Control
Sep 30, 2019

Control boasts a challenging, satisfying and fun combat. The Oldest House is a visually stunning piece of design that'll make you want to explore and find every bit of lore about its world and the intriguing story of Jesse and Dylan Faden. Despite not being free of flaws (especially performance wise on consoles), Remedy Games was able to build one of the best games of the year.

8.5 / 10.0 - Marvel's Spider-Man
Sep 12, 2018

After 30+ hours of gameplay, and getting the Platinum Throphy, I can say Marvel's Spider-Man is a spectacular entry for casual and comic fans alike. The great narrative and fun combat, even just swinging through the city, will keep you glued to the screen for hours. However, if you hate repetitive gameplay, Insomniac's title might get boring after a while.

9 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Dec 10, 2023

When discussing video games as works of art, Alan Wake 2 is one of those works that will pop into my mind immediately. It's a brilliant piece of entertainment with a unforgettable narrative and setting and one of the best games of what has been an astounding year in 2023.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps in an emotional journey through a beautifully crafted world. Gareth Coker's soundtrack is sensational and the combat and exploration are as fun as they are satisfying. Moon Studios' new game is a must have for every Metroidvania fan, and an easy recommendation to everyone who has access to Xbox Games Pass.

9 / 10.0 - DOOM Eternal
Mar 26, 2020

DOOM Eternal is an upgrade of its predecessor in every aspect. The violent and energetic combat encounters at the sound of Mick Gordon's tracks are as fun as they are satisfying. Few games have left me this exhausted (in a good way) as DOOM Eternal. And after I finished it, I asked for more. It's without a doubt in my mind one of the best first person shooters of this generation, and a strong candidate for game of the year.

Red Dead Redemption II boasts a superb narrative, with an extensive and immersive open world full of content. Rockstar Games tells its best story to date, even though, unfortunately, the game suffers from its old controls and formulaic mission design. Red Dead Redemption's gameplay is not on par with its remaining aspects, but nonetheless, it's one of the best games of this generation.
