In what matters most, Shadow Warrior 3 is a very good FPS. With beautiful and fluid visuals, we have adrenaline-filled combats against fantastic monsters and good platforming sections. While it works well, some issues limit the overall game experience. So, if you are not a fan of the genre, this title will hardly change your taste. On the other hand, if you are a fan or enjoy a lot of action, this is a great choice for your library.

Keeping up with the recent trend in the series, Call of Duty: Vanguard is a solid and fun shooter. The thrilling campaign and the multiplayer with many options are some of its qualities, and the same can be said for the beautiful graphics and good gameplay. More than a competent game, it offers a solid base that can be amplified and improved upon constantly during its life cycle. Unfortunately, some things come up short and limit the finished product, such as the restricted Zombie mode and the lack of polishment in some elements of the game. The result, however, is a title filled with challenge and pleasant to play, especially with friends. If the integration with the Warzone mode goes well and the updates are good, Vanguard can become one of the best titles in the franchise.

Even with a very competitive market, Super Animal Royale manages to bring interesting mechanics while maintaining the solid foundation of its genre. The game's visuals are beautiful and pleasant, combining perfectly with the simple and functional gameplay. It has some negative points, especially in terms of online connection, but the balance is quite positive.

NBA 2K22 offered what I admire the most in the sport: dynamic matches, great athletes, famous teams and a lot of fun. The gameplay and production are excellent, with high quality in its multiple play modes. Though there are some inconsistencies when the versions are compared, the title's most substantial caveat is related to its online modes. If the player can ignore these issues, they'll find a complete and addicting game, especially for basketball fans and connoiseurs.

In one of the most unusual mixtures in the gaming world, Heavy Metal Machines stands out thanks to several qualities. Beautiful visuals, captivating characters, good gameplay and original and well-executed game mechanics are some examples. In addition, the title is free and does not harm anyone who wants to enjoy this gratuity. If you are a fan of crazy cars, destruction, rock n 'roll or football, it is worth trying this great Brazilian production.

Destroy All Humans! will surely offer you an immersive adventure. Although it suffers from long loading screens and requires some knowledge of his historical context, there are some qualities: the gameplay is good, we have several weapons and skills at our disposal and many missions and collectibles to complete and obtain.

Considering each of the segments that make up the title, it is possible to conclude that Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War is indeed a good shooting game. The campaign is competent and more engaging than the last games in the franchise; the fun multiplayer introduces significant changes, and almost all of them are positive; Zombies mode is addictive, although it needs more different maps.

The most important thing in a game is to be fun and engaging. Onee Chanbara Origin manages to fulfill this mission with praise, delivering a dynamic and full-featured hack and slash adventure. The original style brought by the remake and its good gameplay make every fight a great experience. Although it fails on some important points, the end result is a must-have title for fans of the genre and players who enjoy a lot of action.

With a very interesting basic idea, Bite the Bullet is like one of those traditional simple buffet restaurants. On the one hand, you will find a lot of good things, like beautiful visuals, fun challenges and a lot of content to explore. On the other hand, sophistication and care for details will be in the background. In the end, the result is still a good game, perfect for those who love to taste a good roguelite accompanied with elements of platform and RPG.

The new adventures of Joker and company in Persona 5 Tactica manage to mix turn-based RPG with strategy in a very competent way. Exuding style and an engaging story, especially thanks to its charismatic characters, each new mission and its developments are unmissable. In particular, I liked the great freedom in solving missions and their challenges. Although the title is not on the same level as the original game, its quality is undeniable and it certainly has a lot of fun and challenge to offer. Another mandatory release for fans of the series and a good choice for anyone who wants to start getting to know this unique universe.

Making good use of visual effects to compose its combats full of magic and emotion, Immortals of Aveum manages to deliver an original and fun adventure. The fights offer many options for players, with various types of magic, equipment and special abilities, compensating for the game's many problems. It's a shame that more care was needed in these areas, but we still have a great title for for FPS fans.

Don't be fooled by the childish idea of Marble It Up! Ultra: here we have a highly competitive and demanding game, but without ceasing to be fun and accessible. Controlling a marble in the middle of platforms, ramps, precipices, bridges, tunnels and many other obstacles is surprisingly pleasant and addictive. Something else was missing for the game to be really amazing, not to mention the disappointing lack of local multiplayer modes, but even so, the title is a great choice for your library.

Possibly Sega's definitive hedgehog collection (but probably not the last), Sonic Origins Plus managed to go a little further than the base title. Major additions include 12 Game Gear games and the availability of more playable characters. The point is that Plus is not justified for all audiences, as the content is not very interesting — in fact, Origins was not exactly perfect. Therefore, this is a good suggestion for any library, and only those most passionate about the character should prioritize the acquisition of the complete package.

Keeping very close to the classics of the genre, enriched with modern elements, Nightmare Reaper is a great FPS game, especially for Doom fans and co. The shootings are always fun and with a balanced difficulty, enhanced by a very rich arsenal. Some elements aren't very good, but it's still a nice addition to your library.

Though we're still in May, I can already say Strayed Lights is one of the great surprises of 2023. The beautiful and enchanting visuals contrast perfectly to the intense, addicting combat, turning the exploration and action experience memorable. It ends up lacking in a few areas but it's more about wanting more of it. Maybe a future update, expansion and/or continuation could take this good concept to the level it deserves.

Bringing an unprecedented adventure in the best cartoon style, SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake is a competent platform game. The simple gameplay works well and offers all sorts of different challenges, even if generally not very challenging. The nice visuals and great voice acting make for a very entertaining story.

Even though it's the brand's first entry in a new genre, Marvel’s Midnight Suns reached a respect-worthy result. With an interesting general plot and good use of the diverse elements of the famous comics brand, the game presents a fun strategic combat system with cards. It's difficult to ignore the below-average visuals but they work well in the battles and do not compromise the full package. If you're a fan of the genre, the Marvel universe or feel curious about the idea, it certainly is an excellent suggestion for your library.

In the end, Evil West is one of the examples that reinforce the most important aspect of a videogame: the fun of playing. In this case, fighting against supernatural monsters in a beautiful and challenging western setting. Of course, a more developed story that fit well with the combats would have been great, as well as having more variety to the missions. Even so, this is a a release full of action and big qualities for fans of the genre.

With accessible gameplay and addictive mechanics, Marvel Snap is one of those free-to-play gems on smartphones and PCs. Other qualities of this great card game include the beautiful visuals and effects, all creatively inspired by the Marvel comics universe. It's a shame that we only have one way to enjoy the games, but there's nothing to fear: with a very solid foundation, the future is promising and the sky is the limit for this great game.
