7.5 / 10.0 - Viewfinder
Jul 28, 2023

Viewfinder explores an interesting concept that greatly uses perspective to build entertaining puzzles that do some really interesting things, but in the end I left the experience with the feeling that more could have been done, and some of the new mechanics introduced towards the end don't really get to shine.

7.5 / 10.0 - Final Fantasy XVI
Jul 14, 2023

Final Fantasy XVI certainly excels in spectacle, boasting superb boss fights with a great combat system and narrative, but the quieter moments outside of those big scenes end up mostly uninteresting and boring with RPG elements that feel mostly inconsequential.

9 / 10.0 - Street Fighter 6
Jun 18, 2023

Street Fighter 6 is a masterclass in the fighting game genre, with exciting new mechanics and characters that make the fights even more fun, even though the story mode drags a bit too much in the later half, hurting an otherwise great addition to the series.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a masterclass in game design, with a rich and vast open world where creativity rules above all else, coupled with a great soundtrack, fun combat and tons of new abilities to use.

8.5 / 10.0 - Humanity
May 19, 2023

Humanity is a great puzzle adventure that uses different mechanics to keep the experience challenging and fresh, with each chapter being quite varied, but towards the end some of that diversity works against it, becoming a bit uneven.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed finishes this saga with a compelling story coupled with amazing fights elevated by a great combat system, although the new AP system can be a bit divisive it's still heavily recommended to any longtime Xenoblade fan.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an incredible game, boasting a great story coupled with top notch combat and rich worlds to explore, unfortunately its technical state is so dire I can't recommend it at all for the time being.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a technical masterpiece, possibly the best looking game right now, but as an expansion it plays way too safe with no meaningful improvements and ends up a bit forgettable due to it.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a really fun metroidvania and a possible new franchise in the making but dragged down by an awful map system that does more harm than good.

Resident Evil 4 is an incredible remake, with some of the best gameplay in the genre and lots of improvements compared to the original but a wonky aiming system on controller and some changes leave to be desired.

Dead Space Remake is masterful remake that not only improves everything it builds up upon but adds even more content, being a sure fire hit for fans.

Wo Long is definitely a good Soulslike, with addicting combat and epic encounters, but an uneven parry and level design drag the experience down.

While adding some wonderful modes like Merry Magoland and the Magolor Epilogue, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe leaves a lot to be desired with its shallow and boring level design carried over from an ok 12 year old game, not justifying it's full price.

9 / 10.0 - Hi-Fi Rush
Jan 28, 2023

Hi-Fi Rush is a beautiful cel shaded game that mixes the hack and slash genre with music and rhythmic actions, and while it falters a bit with the pacing and has some frustrating sequences, it's a delight from start to finish, one I just couldn't put down.

7 / 10.0 - Super Kiwi 64
Dec 12, 2022

Super Kiwi 64 while barebones in content, is an incredibly charming, cheap and surprisingly great to play short little game that does a good homage to the games of the N64 era.

7 / 10.0 - Sonic Frontiers
Nov 30, 2022

Sonic Frontiers is a flawed but fun title that introduces some new ideas that could bring the Blue Blur back to the spotlight, namely the open world and combat, that are satisfying enough and might be expanded in future titles where they can be fully realized.

God of War Ragnarok doesn't reinvent the series, but it didn't need to, what we got is a masterful improvement on the previous game, with an engaging story and a more fluid combat that I wholeheartedly recommend to every fan.

9.5 / 10.0 - Bayonetta 3
Nov 5, 2022

Bayonetta 3 marks the return of the titular Witch in an extremely good action game that despite some not as good elements and lack of focus at times, revitalizes and improves one of the best combat systems in gaming.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope remains a great game like its predecessor, but with tons of changes, some really good while others make the experience feel less consistent.

Dragon Ball the Breakers is a really fun experience, but the lack of crossplay and content make it a short lived game.
