A nice distraction for those seeking a new horror game. But do not expect too much.

This story driven game inspired in the works of H.P. Lovecraft falls into to many tropes to stand on its own.

With a new prespective with some RPG elements into the mix, Darksiders Genesis is a good distraction from the main series, that ads up some lore and story to it.

Memories of Mars may be appealing to fans of survival and resources management, but it's limited to boring mechanics and dated visuals.

A fantastic, but short, game for fans of exploration and platformers, with charming sense of humor and world full of wonders to discover.

An classic RPG with strong, deep, combat mechanics, a captivating story and some nostalgia thrown into the mix, from old-school RPGs

The repetition and lack of inventiveness in the gameplay end up damaging a story full of homage and a scathing analysis of the current state of the video game industry.

9 / 10 - Blasphemous
Sep 19, 2019

It's hard, it's gory and has some of the best classic gameplay mechanics in it's genre. It's so well crafted, it's difficult to stay indiferent to it.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the evolution the series needed, a tour de force that manages to gives a more accessible adventure without losing it’s soul. The combat is fantastic, strategic and unforgiven if you’re not prepared; but it’s the social part and expansiveness of it’s mechanics that keeps shining, even after 70 or 80 hours of gameplay. If you love the genre, this is a must buy.

It’s a disappointment, a game with good ideas and bad planning, and a strange sense of what a fighting should be. With a short campaign, boring combat and inconsistent animations, Kill la Kill IF is a game only for the fans of the anime and even if you are indeed a fan, approach with extreme caution.

8 / 10 - Aggelos
Jul 21, 2019

Aggelos is an almost perfect homage to the good of days of the 16 bits, and future classic, given us the same soul and focus of some of the best SEGA and Nintendo classics. It might not be perfect, but it is a really fun time.

It could have been a great game if it gave us more control over the gameplay and the city we are exploring, a victim of the tiresome neediness to make everything an open world game, where more is always better. With a few cuts here and there, and a more focused campaign, The Sinking City could be a horror classic, but in this state, with all this bugs, it belongs only to the sea.

While it ain’t trully perfect, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an excelente action game that mixes classic and nostalgic action with RPG mechanics, while focusing heavily on exploration.

8 / 10 - Darkwood
Jun 12, 2019

Darkwood is not a game for everyone – and that's perfect. As a survival horror game, it's one of the tensest and scariest experiences I've encountered. There is a very European soul in here, a desperation and acceptance of death that we can only see in eastern productions, giving us a hard look at something different, but equally beautiful.

8 / 10 - The Messenger
Mar 31, 2019

The Messenger is a nostalgic bomb and a very solid action platformer. If you love Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man, and you want a new, yet friendlier experience in the genre, this is the game you’re looking for.
