LEGO Horizon Adventures achieves its primary goal: capturing the essence of Horizon Zero Dawn and blending it with LEGO's characteristic humor to deliver a charming and entertaining experience. While it shines through its beautiful visuals and enjoyable combat system, its linear structure and uninspired level design limit the variety, making the gameplay feel repetitive. Even so, it's a good entry point for embarking on Aloy's journey for the first time.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is the Budokai Tenkaichi 4 we've dreamed of for over 10 years. With revamped controls, stunning graphics and a combat system that's both accessible and fun, it revitalizes the classic formula and brings it to modern times with new mechanics and game modes. Despite some minor issues, it's a love letter to Akira Toriyama's work and the legacy of one of the most important animes in history

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the triumphant return of one of the best zombie games of all time. While the survivor missions and psychopath battles could have been improved, this is, without a doubt, the best version of Capcom's classic thanks to its updated graphics and gameplay enhancements. A must for new players and veteran fans alike.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautiful and nostalgic tribute that revives 7 iconic fighting games. Although the lack of additional modes and cross-play limits its potential, it remains an excellent option for both veteran and new players. Still, we can't help but feel that Capcom could have done more to make it the ultimate collection

6.5 / 10.0 - Concord
Aug 29, 2024

Concord has a solid foundation and interesting ideas; however, its bland cast of characters and lack of innovation make it a generic and unappealing hero shooter destined to fail, especially considering its $40 USD price tag. It's not a bad game, but is something much worse: an unnecessary product that fails to understand the market it competes in. Simply put, there are better and more enjoyable free alternatives out there

9 / 10.0 - Stellar Blade
Apr 24, 2024

Stellar Blade is a game that stands out for its excellent character design and lore, but its appeal goes beyond the beautiful visual aspect. It's a really fun experience that we enjoyed due to its exceptional combat system, epic boss battles and enjoyable exploration. It's a brave game that dares to challenge many current trends to become one of the top South Korean representatives in the gaming industry.

9 / 10.0 - Hi-Fi Rush
Mar 23, 2024

Although it has flaws, Hi-Fi RUSH is an excellent video game thanks to its exquisite combat system and memorable characters. The port for PlayStation 5 is very simple, but we're glad to know that more people will be able to play one of the best games of 2023. Without a doubt, Hi-FI RUSH it's one of the gems of the current console generation.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League lives up to its name and shoots itself in the foot with repetitive mission design, a very chaotic combat, microtransactions and an overwhelming loot system. While the Task Force X villains are very charismatic, they are unable to rescue a generic game. The worst part is that it doesn't do justice to the legacy of Batman: Arkham.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a very simple game, yet it has a lot of charm thanks to its personal narrative that's easy to relate to. Undoubtedly, the connection between Nunu and Willump is the heart of the adventure. While the puzzles are fun and intriguing, it's regrettable that both the platforming and combat are very monotonous. Depth is noticeably lacking in most of its systems.

Jan 23, 2024

With a great cast of characters and refined gameplay, TEKKEN 8 builds upon the foundations of the previous game to create a thrilling and satisfying experience that excels in almost every aspect.

This new game addresses the main issues from the original 2020 release and introduces a lot of additional content, such as new mechanics and characters. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is the definitive version. Although it might not be a must-buy for players who played the previous title, it's an accessible and deep fighting game that will appeal to both newcomers and experts.

The King of Fighters XIII Global Match is a very modest return of one of the best games in the franchise. Although it's a simple port that does the minimum to bring the experience to modern consoles, the foundation of the original video game is very solid and enjoyable.

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS feels like an unambitious game that focuses on improving its predecessor and introducing a few changes. While the combat system can be chaotic and confusing, it offerts a lot of fun. The overall product serves as a worthy celebration of the legacy of anime's most famous ninja

8 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner 2
Oct 23, 2023

Even though Ghostrunner 2 only expands and improves the ideas of the original game, its parkour and combat systems remain highly enjoyable. It's a very fun and challenging experience that will excite fans of challenging games and adrenaline, even though it's not perfect.

7.8 / 10.0 - The Crew Motorfest
Sep 20, 2023

The Crew Motorfest is an absolute blast, offering endless hours of excitement thanks to its stunning O'ahu-inspired map and an impressive array of events, vehicles, and settings. Sure, there are a few hiccups like the occasional empty open world and wonky difficulty spikes, but if you're a car enthusiast, this game is a celebration you won't want to miss!

7.5 / 10.0 - Immortals of Aveum
Aug 24, 2023

Immortals of Aveum introduces some captivating concepts, albeit with a few hiccups in execution. The combat system can be a bit perplexing, and the narrative takes its sweet time to get going without delivering the expected excitement. Additionally, technical performance issues crop up. Nevertheless, our time spent with this single-player game wasn't without its charms. The world of Aveum is undeniably beautiful, and the combat system, while flawed, manages to be entertaining and holds promise. Perhaps a follow-up installment could refine these elements and address the game's shortcomings.

7 / 10.0 - Exoprimal
Jul 25, 2023

Exoprimal is a mixed experience. Its simple concept offers immediate fun, as defeating dozens of dinosaurs with the exosuits is very satisfying during the first couple of hours. Unfortunately, the combat system is unable to sustain the entire experience and avoid the feeling of monotony.

Crash Team Rumble is a solid experience. The platforming is on par with the original games, while the combat is satisfying and works very well. The final result is fun and has potential. Unfortunately, the game as a service structure is unoriginal. There is only one main game mode and a limited number of characters, so the game gets repetitive quickly. If it had a free-to-play format, it would be an exciting release. However, as a $30 USD game, it's hard to recommend.

Minabo impresses with its delightful ideas and emanates a warm and amiable atmosphere, owing to its vibrant and cheerful style. The straightforward mechanics of the game make it easily comprehensible, while the challenging missions with special objectives offer a stimulating experience. Regrettably, the game's appeal wears thin swiftly as it becomes repetitive and monotonous. Additionally, the superficiality of its social aspects detracts from the uniqueness of each match. Nevertheless, it is an engaging experience that is enjoyable when you are able to connect with the concept.

7.5 / 10.0 - Tchia
Mar 20, 2023

Tchia has a lot of heart and charm. It's clear that the developers really wanted to honor the culture, traditions, landscapes and music of New Caledonia. Unfortunately, the exploration is repetitive after a few hours, the soul-Jumping mechanic never reaches its true potential and the combat is bland. That's unfortuntely, as the game tries with love and honesty be a memorable experience.
