There’s no doubt that this entry refines and improves upon the foundation laid by Ghost of Tsushima, delivering a smoother, more dynamic, and overall richer experience. But despite its mechanical evolution and artistic brilliance, Ghost of Yotei never quite crosses the threshold into masterpiece territory. It remains, at its best, a very good game. Beautiful, ambitious, and deeply enjoyable, but not the genre-defining triumph it clearly aspires to be.
In the end, Silksong is undeniably a good game; One that grew out of what was originally envisioned as a DLC and has now been released as a full-fledged sequel. Yet, the numerous gameplay flaws, both large and small, hold it back from reaching the status of a near-perfect masterpiece like its predecessor.
With Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Lizardcube has proven that its success with Streets of Rage 4 was no fluke and that it was the perfect studio to revive one of Sega’s most iconic franchises. Their strong work here gives me hope that we might one day see a full-fledged modern revival of another beloved Sega classic: Comix Zone.
While Assassin’s Creed: Shadow may not be a masterpiece, it marks a successful return to the franchise’s roots—an experience long absent from the series. Its gameplay delivers genuine satisfaction, ensuring hours of engaging entertainment.
Overall, Indiana Jones pays homage to a legendary name, offers a delightful gift to adventure and tomb-raiding enthusiasts, and is a polished first-party title for Microsoft. With its upcoming release on PS5 in the next few months, it presents a great opportunity for a successful investment.
In summary, Dragon Age: The Veilguard heralds the revival of Bioware, and we can expect this well-known studio to return to its glory days in the future. However, it’s clear that Veilguard, despite its positive aspects, bears little resemblance to a Dragon Age game, but it is still a good game that you shouldn’t miss out on.
In conclusion, Astro Bot, as a platformer game, has managed to become a serious contender for the Game of the Year title by drawing the right inspirations from major titles in this genre, adding a unique narrative design to revisit the history of video games, and implementing unique technical graphics.
In conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is so vast that each of its creative aspects deserves a separate article, and I couldn’t cover all of them in this review. A title belonging to the future that is available to us now. It’s one of the most entertaining and creative games released in 2024.
Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious video game that was rushed to be released. It could’ve been a serious contender for Game of the Year awards, but at this state, with the myriad of gameplay and technical problems, it’s just a mediocre game.
In terms of production value and the amount of content provided, it seems like Shadow of the Erdtree should’ve been the sequel to Elden Ring instead of an expansion for it. So, I think it’s safe to say that it has been able to meet the demands of a spoiled fanbase. It’s not only one of the best DLCs ever, but also one of the best video game releases of the past few years.
Thanks to faster loading times, more stable frame rate and better visuals, now could be a great time to play this Yakuza spin off.

Inmost may seem like an ordinary 15 dollars indie game that you can kill in a few hours, but it is actually a unique tale full of secrets that will make you play it over and over again to fully discover its creepy world.

Captain Tsubasa is a great title for the fans of the original anime, and remains totally true to it, but it may not be as fun for those who are new to the series.

Whether you watched and loved Peaky Blinders or not, stay away from this game as it is one of the worst adopted video games of at least this generation.

7th Sector is around 3 hours of not so fun experience; one that made lots of mistakes in designing puzzles, levels, and its narrative.
