Destiny 2: The Final Form is essentially the promised and deserved conclusion to a saga that began so many years ago. It mixes a very well-tied (even predictable) narrative, wonderful setting and the usual excellent gameplay with some important additions. It's the best thing about the franchise.

85 / 100 - Nuclear Blaze
Jun 7, 2024

Improving on what was already great, the PlayStation 5 version of Nuclear Blaze uses the 120 fps and adaptive triggers as nice additions to enhance the experience, amplify the sense of immersion, and highlight exemplary aesthetic and gameplay work.

75 / 100 - Phantom Fury
May 29, 2024

Phantom Fury satisfactorily fulfills what it promises to be. With fluidity in gameplay, constant action and a plot that serves as the basis for continuous progression, the game overcomes a dubious level design to deliver one of the best boomer shooters today.

90 / 100 - F1 24
May 28, 2024

If punctual revisions and the exchange of some modes and features for others is insufficient to overcome the feeling of a mere protocol update, EA Sports F1 24 is definitely as good as its predecessor, refining visuals and mechanics to become even more current, accessible and precise.

60 / 100 - Rocket Rumble
May 23, 2024

Rocket Rumble is based on a promising system that unites racing and combat, with great references and a different theme. However, it stumbles on the uninspired art style, an unbalanced interface, and especially the lack of content to renew interest.

Fast and objective, Musashi vs Cthulhu doesn't bring any contextualization that justifies the meeting of these two worlds. But it compensates for its narrative disinterest with an addictive, sharp and very precise gameplay in search of that extra point in the world rankings or the personal satisfaction of having gone a little further.

45 / 100 - Pool Party
May 16, 2024

Pool Party makes its apparent innocence a crutch for the poverty of ideas and, mainly, for the lack of affection in its implementation. It's even possible to have fun for a few moments, but only when players allow themselves to suspend their critical sense in favor of an uncompromising family mess.

PAC-MAN, the classic, is impeccable. Adding multiplayer concepts through the prism of Battle Royale is a great idea. However, PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs proves that not even this mix has a guarantee of success if you don't take care of the content offered. Without a life of its own, the tribute is a nice memory, but it doesn't go much further than that.

85 / 100 - Mystic Pillars
May 8, 2024

Culturally relevant and provocative in its gameplay, Mystic Pillars is one of those games that, drinking from great references, finds in simplicity its element of interest. It may not be thought-provoking enough for certain player profiles, but those interested in a good puzzle will certainly have a great time.

75 / 100 - Gray Dawn
May 1, 2024

A middle ground between a point-and-click adventure and a walk simulator, Gray Dawn is intriguing and uses the religious theme well to sustain a good supernatural suspense, but it lacks boldness in puzzles and mechanics, in addition to its usability being unresponsive.

65 / 100 - Sand Land
Apr 24, 2024

SAND LAND has its merits in respecting and expanding the original work of the legendary Akira Toriyama. But when it comes to narrative and design, it fails in combat and exploration systems: as generic and uninteresting as a desert full of sand and... more sand.

75 / 100 - Top Spin 2K25
Apr 23, 2024

TopSpin 2K25 is the long-awaited return from one of the most acclaimed brands in the sport and brings with it some of the best qualities that made it so beloved years ago. Still, it seems ungreedy in terms of visuals and, especially, in the amount of content offered, making simplicity its great asset and, at the same time, its greatest limiter.

Lunar Lander Beyond is a great example of how to modernize a classic game from the early days of video games without, however, detracting from its essence. With great controls, an art style full of identity and originality of purpose, the game surprises, entertains and addicts... Very much.

80 / 100 - Harold Halibut
Apr 17, 2024

Harold Halibut may not be the most innovative game in terms of intervention mechanics in the world, apart from making some slips in the rhythm of the narrative, but it is undeniable that the sum of its powerful story and its spectacular art style make this one of the most irresistible games of recent times.

Let's! Revolution! It's a great game that mixes problem-solving, sharp strategy, and turn-based action, reveling in the obvious references and conventions of the roguelike genre. Although it lacks a certain provocative spice, it is an addictive, well-reasoned, and absolutely entertaining game.

80 / 100 - Loretta
Apr 11, 2024

Loretta is short, brings unjustifiable puzzles and can be dragged for those who are not fans of the narrative genre. But even in the face of all this, it is dense, mature, visually beautiful in an unconventional way and brings a strong, unsettling and disturbing plot, as any good classic thriller should be.

90 / 100 - Freedom Planet 2
Apr 2, 2024

Freedom Planet 2 takes its inspirations from one of the biggest franchises in video game history, but refines mechanics, design, and narrative that had already been introduced in the previous game. The sequel manages to improve on what was great and becomes one of the best exponents of the genre.

Alone in the Dark may not be the most inventive game in the genre, but it's extremely competent in everything it proposes. Combat, exploration, and storytelling are excellent, with a beautiful noir setting, slipping in a few visual and rhythmic details. The original survivor horror is back, and in a big way!

More than a recommendation for its unique accessibility features, The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is, as a whole, a robust and very well articulated project. Aside from the lack of localization and advanced features of the new generation, it's an absolutely necessary game for each of us, psychics or not.

Outcast: A New Beginning is very far from any remnant of innovation and may disappoint those who expect something different from what the market already has in droves. But at the same time, it is honest in its simplest and most straightforward proposal, being able to entertain enthusiasts for a good open-world shootout.
