WWE 2K23 marks the return of the series to the annual format. Although this delivery was better than the previous year's, there was scope for more significant improvements with extra development time. The new formula is solid, as the previous game had already proved. But for those who acquired WWE 2K22, this year's proposal may not have enough arguments to justify the price of a new game. There are small improvements here and there. The Tag Teams fight together in the Royal Rumble, which makes sense. War Games mode was included. But overall, it feels more like an update and not something new. It's a problem that cuts across all the annual games.

Avoid - Redfall
May 5, 2023

The concept, as I said at the beginning of the text, has potential. There is no game on the market to unite the concept of vampire slayers with a looter shooter. It remains to be seen whether Arkane Austin will be able to reverse the sorry state of the game through successive updates. It would have been better to have released Redfall as an early access game, because that's what it sounds like. An embryonic idea, with many loose ends, in which the game systems do not work in unison.

No Recommendation / Blank - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Apr 26, 2023

It is impossible to recommend the PC version at this time, which was precisely the version we had access to. We'll be keeping an eye out for updates until launch. If performance improves, we will update this review. It's a shame to see a game of this caliber compromised by technical issues. Other than that, Jedi Survivor, like the previous one, has all the ingredients to make fans of the saga delirious. Although it doesn't do anything transcendent (it's a safe sequel), it gets almost everything right.

No Recommendation / Blank - Dead Island 2
Apr 18, 2023

That's the feeling that lingers in the end. The dismemberment system is fun; The combat works, even if it becomes repetitive. If played in cooperative mode, it's funnier. For the rest, Dead Island 2 doesn't have much to offer. History is disposable. The map and exploration design is old-fashioned. Technically, it's not a current-generation game. I give credit to Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver for making the effort to finish the game, but for a title that was almost 9 years in development, more was expected. If you like zombies, it can be interesting in an eventual price drop.

No Recommendation / Blank - Destiny 2: Lightfall
Mar 21, 2023

In Destiny's great history of expansions, there are several examples of better deliverables. Lightfall isn't the worst of them, but it's the weakest in years.

Cereza and the Lost Demon arrives shortly after Bayonetta 3, but does not deserve to stay in its shadow. It's a merit-overflowing spinoff that tells an appealing and lovely origin story. At the same time, it features an evolved and more complex version of the gameplay system we had previously seen in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Adding it all up, a big surprise, which goes beyond what is typically expected of a game that is outside the main line. It applies to both those who played the previous ones and who will meet this character for the first time.

If there's a game that convinces me that virtual reality has legs to walk, this is it. Like the medium to which it belongs, it is still not perfect, but it is still an impressive experience. It's one of the best views I've ever seen of virtual reality.

No Recommendation / Blank - Wild Hearts
Feb 13, 2023

This is just a review in progress, but for now, Wild Hearts seems too close to Monster Hunter most of the time. The introduction of the Karakuri in the gameplay is an asset, but from the i played so far the feeling of déjà vu is constant. So far, it seems to me an inferior imitation and it still needs a few adjustments to be ready. The launch is already this week, february 16th, so let's see what the team can do until then.

Recommended - Hi-Fi Rush
Feb 2, 2023

The characters are charismatic and humorous. The soundtrack, featuring official songs from Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys, and The Prodigy, is sensational. In the end, there's no desire to repeat the levels, explore what's left behind (there are a few doors you can only open after the end of the game), and fine-tune the pace of our combos. Hifi Rush is guaranteed fun.

No Recommendation / Blank - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Nov 17, 2022

The game world is excessively empty, not only because of the lack of density of vegetation and other elements, but for the lack of activities. Cities contrast a bit with this, expressing life, with happy NPCs walking back and away, and lots of shops to enter, where you can buy clothes and accessories for your character. Outside the cities, you'll only find huge beams of light on the horizon, symbolizing the crystals where you can participate in Tera Raid Battles (which are virtually identical to the Max Raid Battles of the previous game). Pokémon Scarlet and Violet had a lot to gain if they had been postponed.

Epic, emotional and enduring. A mind-blowing journey through Norse mythology that goes beyond what we could have hoped for.

Essential - Bayonetta 3
Oct 25, 2022

It took me about 20 hours to get to the end of Bayonetta 3. I was in no hurry and i willingly instilled in the exploration of the various chapters. I didn't get everything there was to catch, so for those who like to do everything, there's still plenty to squeeze. As a fan since the first Bayonetta, this third game made me completely satisfied and brought things I couldn't even imagine. It's a peak for the series and a new benchmark in the genre. Bravo Platinum Games!

No Recommendation / Blank - Kirby and the Forgotten Land

A cheerful, fun and quite easy platformer. The concept is solid, but could be more iterated.

A WWE game that brings back the quality and the fun that we remember from the PS2 days. Capable of entertaining anyone, even non-WWE fans.

One of the best open worlds ever made, but one that often crosses the line from fair to unfair. A game of love and hate.
