Sloclap’s Rematch kicks off with exotic flair and gripping gameplay that brilliantly balances tactical depth and arcade action for hours of fun, but while it scores high on innovation and replayability, flaws in matchmaking, sparse battle pass content, and chaotic random teammates blow the whistle on what could’ve been a Ballon d'Or-worthy football game—though with a few solid seasons, it might still become the undisputed champion of the genre.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is the epitome of a 7/10 game—bursting with charm, style, and solid core gameplay, but held back by UI overload, frustrating backtracking, and performance hiccups; yet if you can overlook its flaws, you’ll find a vibrant co-op action-adventure brimming with humor, mobility, and potential that leaves you wanting more.

Freedom takes center stage, pushing players to explore and carve their own path. While not without its flaws, the atmospheric world and satisfying gunplay make it worth the journey.

Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake (2024) stays deeply faithful to the original, while adding meaningful expansions at key moments. The narrative is still a tearjerker that grips you tightly, often making you question what you see, and the audiovisual quality is phenomenal. It is still our special place.

Cat Quest III is a successful continuation of the accessible RPG series that many players love. It's easy to see why people enjoy Cat Quest III so much. The narrative—despite its childlike simplicity—manages to present an endearing story with adorable characters. It's a real treat to look at, thanks to the stylish graphics, captivating animations, and the exotic pirate world. In the Purribean, you encounter various types of adventures, making it a pleasure to explore in your pirate ship. However, be aware that the combat mostly revolves around mindless button-mashing, and the lack of challenge can sometimes make this childlike RPG feel a bit sleepy. If that doesn’t bother you, then Cat Quest III is definitely worth your Spanish silver.
