8.5 / 10.0 - Battlefield 6
Oct 27, 2025

Overall, Battlefield 6 delivers on its promise to revitalize the series, offering intense and strategic multiplayer with large-scale battles, balanced classes, and a vast, customizable arsenal. The single-player campaign, while short, serves as an introduction to the mechanics and tone of war, but it's actually the title's weakest point. Portal mode grants nearly infinite creative freedom, while daily and weekly goals and class progression keep players motivated to return. Visually and sonically, the game is immersive on the PS5, with solid performance, detailed destruction, and immersive sound that transports the player to the heart of the action. With all this, DICE demonstrates that it has learned from past mistakes and finally delivers a title that can reclaim its place at the top and win the battle for the shooter throne.

In the end, Midnight Murder Club delivers on its promise: an experience full of suspense, laughter, and twists, where every round is unpredictable and every session with friends becomes a spectacle of chaos and fun. With its varied modes, simple yet effective mechanics, and the convenience of the Guest Pass edition, the game unites groups, creates memorable moments, and ensures no one wants to leave Wormwood Manor any time soon. For those looking for a game that combines tension, comedy, and competitiveness among friends in balanced doses, Midnight Murder Club is undoubtedly a must-have.

Nightreign isn't a new milestone in FromSoftware's history—it's a bold departure that trades the vastness of exploration for the urgency of shared survival. It's a less grandiose but more focused experience, where every decision matters and every victory is earned together. It may not appeal to purists, but for those who embrace this new approach, there's an addictive and demanding formula here that rewards dedication and cooperation. It's not the next Souls epic, but it's a reminder that FromSoftware still knows how to surprise—even when it trades the epic for the ephemeral, solitude for shared chaos.

6 / 10.0 - Star Overdrive
Jun 18, 2025

Star Overdrive is, therefore, a game that starts with a good idea and offers a captivating aesthetic, but fails to sustain interest over time. Repetition, inconsistent mechanics, a story that, while interesting, fails to deliver true emotion, and the emptiness of its world ultimately undermine the journey's impact. It's an experience that has its moments—especially for those who enjoy games with strong artistic direction and a more restrained length—but falls short of its true potential.

7.5 / 10.0 - Blades of Fire
Jun 2, 2025

Blades of Fire doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but rather reinvents itself within its own rules. By abandoning the traditional leveling system and focusing all progression on forging and weapon customization, it offers a more focused and cohesive experience. It may not appeal to everyone—especially those seeking more accessible approaches—but those willing to face its challenges will find a rich, engaging, and memorable adventure. MercurySteam thus creates a title that honors its influences without ever becoming hostage to them, and that proves there's still room for innovation within a well-established formula. Blades of Fire is, above all, a game of endurance—physical, emotional, and creative—where every battle won, every weapon forged, and every step taken into the unknown counts.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn't just a game—it's an experience that stays with you. The unique combination of engaging narrative, deeply human characters, challenging combat mechanics, and a visually stunning world gives every moment within this universe a weight that transcends the digital realm. Its ability to make us feel every emotion, every loss, every victory, is a rare and remarkable feat in the world of video games. Its longevity lies not only in the number of hours we spend playing, but in the depth of connection we're able to establish with it. In a landscape where many productions fall into repetitive formulas, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers something truly memorable: a journey of emotion, reflection, and growth. For those seeking not just a game, but a lifelong experience, this is a work that will remain—and for everyone else, an invitation to discover what is most human and beautiful in video games. Don't get hung up on labels that, for many, can be off-putting, like being an RPG or having turn-based combat. This is a painting. A masterpiece.

9.5 / 10.0 - Split Fiction
Mar 17, 2025

Split Fiction shines both for its originality and for its ability to provide an entertaining, emotional, and, at times, challenging experience. Hazelight Studios once again succeeds in creating a captivating narrative where cooperation is not only essential but also deeply integrated into every aspect of the game. It's not just a continuation of the studio's legacy, it's a celebration of everything that makes cooperation in video games magical.

In the end, Synduality Echo of Ada presented itself as an interesting proposal in the action RPG genre, but it fails in many aspects that prevent a more engaging experience. The initial premise is captivating and the post-apocalyptic world has a lot of potential, but the repetitiveness of the raids, the lack of depth in combat and customizations, in addition to the technical problems, make the game unsatisfactory in the long run. The sound is, without a doubt, one of the few positive points that manages to keep the player immersed in the dark atmosphere, but it is not enough to mask the flaws in the gameplay. With some updates and improvements, the game may be able to fix some of these problems, but for now, Synduality Echo of Ada is a casual, simple and repetitive experience, which fails to maintain enthusiasm after the first few hours of play.

Dragon Age: Veilguard é uma entrada marcante na série, com mudanças arrojadas na narrativa, gráficos e jogabilidade. Apesar de algumas escolhas divisivas, como o tom mais leve e o sistema de loot algo repetitivo, o jogo compensa com combates bem elaborados, um sistema de progressão envolvente e uma performance audiovisual de excelência. É uma experiência que pode dividir os jogadores; principalmente os fãs da saga poderão sentir algum desconforto com tantas mudanças implementadas e o inicio da aventura menos envolvente. Inovar numa saga tão icónica é uma tarefa monumental e, embora nem todas as novidades sejam bem-sucedidas, esta é uma boa experiência que abre portas a novos jogadores e desafia os fãs de longa data a explorar uma nova faceta de Thedas.

Until Dawn is an interactive horror experience that, despite some technical flaws and animation inconsistencies, manages to offer a memorable narrative and an immersive environment. The game's ability to create suspense and tension, supported by an excellent soundtrack, maintains the player's interest throughout the story. There is an effort to update a well-rated title, although the characters' movements and facial expressions can break immersion at certain moments, the rich plot and meaningful choices make up for these imperfections. Even with its flaws, Until Dawn manages to provoke emotions that rival the best psychological horror experiences, becoming an important reference for fans of the genre.

7.5 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 25
Oct 10, 2024

EA Sports FC 25 remains the top choice for football fans. This is largely due to the lack of competition, but there are still new features to be highlighted: the more realistic and precise gameplay, the more practical Career Mode and, the big highlight, the new Rush mode. Overall, the FC 25 innovates some details, without losing the familiarity that we have become accustomed to, both good and bad.

With very visible changes compared to the first title, Darkest Dungeon II continues to be a game for those who find some pleasure in... repetition. With a challenging randomness system, we must always keep in mind that we never know how the expedition will go, that the strategy we prepared may be working one moment and, suddenly, our team may be dead and we have to start another expedition all over again. With this in mind: "Have courage. Do not give in. Go forward through the encroaching darkness and face your fears. Redemption, finally, can be found."

8 / 10.0 - Capes
Jun 21, 2024

There are few turn-based strategy games, but I can say: few but good, and Capes falls into this category. It appears with its own identity in a theme that could become uninspired, and it uses several well-crafted strategies to establish itself in this corner of video games. I believe that players who want to delve into this genre will find their entry title here.

7 / 10.0 - Horizon Chase 2
Jun 7, 2024

Like its previous titles, Brazilian developer Aquiris Game Studio has managed to show that this arcade genre is still appealing today. Horizon Chase 2 continues these ideas, making some small (well-made) changes to immerse players in this universe. I believe that this is a genre that will always be more appealing with a nostalgic effect, if well implemented, and that even new players will be able to have a pleasant and interesting experience here. It is a title to have in your library and invest some time in from time to time, thus avoiding feelings of repetition and monotony.

7 / 10.0 - Sand Land
May 6, 2024

Sand Land brings us a formidable, comical narrative experience that at various times evokes the good energy that the late Akira Toriyama accustomed us to, with a rich open world to explore and a good vehicle customization system. It has some flaws, but overall, with everything positive it manages to convey to the player. We invite all fans (and not only) of Akira Toriyama to discover, once again, a small taste of what he gave us so well.

8.5 / 10.0 - Helldivers II
Feb 21, 2024

I can say that we are facing one of the best coop games released in recent years. The fun imposed is something superb, and I believe that with the studio's commitment to adding additional content over time, if they play the right weapons (Arrowhead, can I suggest a training ground on the ship to test the weapons, please?), they will be able to keep the player base pretty high... and I'll be there to spread democracy!

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora had the components to be an excellent game. The narrative base was there, the premise too, and even the gameplay. Ideas that in theory could be interesting, but in practice fell far short of what was expected. I honestly felt that they took several titles from the Far Cry saga (based on Primal, but with current graphics), put them in the blue Avatar outfit and released this title.

8.5 / 10.0 - Endless Dungeon
Nov 7, 2023

It's always a breath of fresh air when something original comes along. In ENDLESS Dungeon, although the various genres in its baggage are not exactly new, the various details taken under the microscope of each of them and interconnected with each other, form a cohesive, new and quite pleasant mix. Combined with the care they included in the musical aspect, it is without a doubt a title to have in our library.

8.5 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner 2
Oct 23, 2023

Ghostrunner 2 raises the bar. Without a doubt, the studio greatly improved the previous title and brought more and better. It's not perfect yet, but it's very close. I believe that the theme specifically created for this saga, combining the cyberpunk theme with the first-person platform style, has even more to offer. Let's hope Ghostrunner 3 comes, and adds even more innovations and original ideas, just like this second one did!

Play Disgaea 7. It's fun, strategic, complex. If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, it might as well be Disgaea 7. The new additions are well done, and leave behind less accomplished features of previous titles.
