Without any content additions for those who have already explored every alley in Los Santos, this version of GTA V may not be enough for veterans, but it remains a true masterpiece in the new generation. It also supports 60 fps or the ultra-high definition in 4k, making it the best possible way to enjoy this great criminal journey.

85 / 100 - The Ascent
Apr 1, 2022

The Ascent is, for fans of a good isometric RPG with a futuristic theme, one of the best experiences in recent years. Aesthetically beautiful, it is not the most innovative experience in terms of both story and gameplay, but it manages to be competent in everything it proposes, resulting in an intense and surprisingly immersive journey.

There is no doubt that Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5 is one of the best current titles in its segment, and even with some points for improvement, it offers an incredibly deep system of control and simulation of the sport. Correct in both content and visual style, it proves to be receptive to dedicated fans, but uninviting to new adepts.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia surprises by offering solid content and robust gameplay. It brings, at the same time, simplicity and sophistication in its mechanics that distance itself (a little) from the more conventional style without reinventing the wheel. There are a few inconsistencies here and there, but overall, the game is enjoyable, fun, and very charismatic.

Everything that is best about MeteoHeroes Saving Planet Earth! is inherited from the original animation, and even then the theme, characters, and artwork are poorly transported into the game world. There is an occasional glimpse of gameplay that gives hope, but any goodwill is squashed by a simplistic product and falls short of even the best intentions to enjoy it.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expands, improves, and refines everything that already works extremely well, proving that this game as a service is still far from exhaustion. Moreover, it offers an engaging new journey, important revelations, and a turning point that only builds on promise for what lies ahead.

50 / 100 - In My Shadow
Feb 13, 2022

I really wish I'd been more involved with In My Shadow, but the great core concept isn't enough to sustain an uninvolved story and shaky artwork. While the puzzles themselves have their virtues, the platforming leaves something to be desired, resulting in a disconnected and incomplete set.

For fans of the original game, Fatesworn is everything you could hope for: more Amalur! With new scenarios and a classic story of the hero trying to prevent the end of the world, the expansion adds a little bit of everything that was already there, offers timid innovations in gameplay and ensures a worthy closure to one of the best and most unknown RPGs of its generation.

35 / 100 - Nuclear Corps
Jan 28, 2022

Nuclear Corps: Veterans in Fukushima is a puzzle game with some good intentions, but unfortunately it fails in almost all of them. The homage to a real event ends up hidden underneath a simplistic puzzle design, lack of objectives and a confusion of identity that results in a raw, dull and totally forgettable game.

80 / 100 - Risk System
Jan 26, 2022

Risk System is an intense and challenging shmup that presents us with a very original base mechanic, supporting the proposal with fast action and gameplay that is as simple as it is fun. If the visuals are not the most striking, the game offers a relatively dense story in a short campaign, as well as a lot of intensity and freshness for enthusiasts of the genre.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is competent, fun and immersive, especially when experienced with other players. With solid gameplay and good visuals, the game eschews any major innovations, but stands out within the sub-genre, although it needs to resolve a certain identity crisis to reach its full potential.

70 / 100 - Windjammers 2
Jan 20, 2022

Windjammers 2 is as simple as it is fun, offering a rare balance between nostalgia and modernity. In essence, it features a very sophisticated gameplay design, albeit with some inaccuracies, in addition to neat cartoonish visuals and a lot of competition spirit. But the lack of different modes and extra content can shorten its lifespan.

45 / 100 - Wukong
Dec 15, 2021

Wukong is colorful and visually charming, and it's certainly an appealing, especially child-friendly version of the universe of this classic Chinese legend. With some good ideas, it can be fun, but unfortunately it feels unfinished, presents a series of technical instabilities, lack of design cohesion and a complete narrative abstention.

Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is a pleasant surprise, proving once again that the universe of the franchise is much bigger than we imagined. Very conscious of what it intends, the game brings solid gameplay, a typical story of the genre very well told and very nice art, resulting in one of the best games of the genre in recent times.

The remaster of three of the most important games in video game history in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition fails in almost everything that it proposes, even if you can ignore a few contextual merits. However, this definitive version is far from the respect it owes to the originals and, mainly, to the audience.

85 / 100 - Airborne Kingdom
Nov 11, 2021

Airborne Kingdom is an excellent city-building and resource management game, with a theme as original as the concept of flying kingdoms. With a fluid and comfortable gameplay for the controls and an amazing narrative construction, it is one of the best recent games in the genre.

65 / 100 - Port Royale 4
Nov 10, 2021

Port Royale 4 brings good solutions for the genre and will certainly please many people interested in resource management, period commercial systems and the nautical theme as a whole. But it's important to know that it's a much more bureaucratic than an adventurous game, having a lot more backstage than action.

75 / 100 - Backbone
Nov 2, 2021

Backbone is an interactive narrative-based adventure with some underused classic point-and-click gameplay elements mixed with choice possibilities that don't always represent real cause-and-effect options, but bring in its artistic style and well-written text its best qualities.

Horizon Chase Turbo: Senna Always is a great celebration of one of the greatest legendary drivers of all time. It has complementary content that expands (a lot) and improves what already existed before in one of the best brazilian games in history. It's a real treat for recent or longtime motorsport fans and, of course, Ayrton Senna.

80 / 100 - Sheepo
Oct 24, 2021

Sheepo not only meets the minimum requirements expected for a metroidvania, but it is also creative in terms of plot, gameplay solutions and aesthetic elaboration. The level design lacks some pacing tricks and the controls require fine tuning, but none of that detracts from the fact that this is a charming, balanced and a very fun game.
