Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is exactly what fans have been clamoring for over many years—a new installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with all its strengths and weaknesses. Despite the developers' efforts to rebalance many elements from the previous entries and provide a proper sense of satisfaction for those looking to improve, it remains a fighting game that leans more towards the “party game filled with brawls” genre than that of competitive, strategic fighting games. With over 180 fighters, each with three unique special moves of varying effects, balance has never been a priority for Spike Chunsoft... and that’s perfectly fine

If we look back at the very first moments when the Silent Hill remake was shown to the public, Konami and Bloober Team's gamble seemed doomed from the start. However, like in the most traditional of redemption stories, the Polish team has delivered one of the best horror experiences of recent years, while also proving to everyone that creating a remake 'faithful to the original work' is indeed possible. Silent Hill 2 is a love letter to the 2001 title, able to captivate new generations while offering just the right amount of novelty to those who adored the original version released for PlayStation 2

Enotria: The Last Song is a bittersweet comedy that could have made a lasting impact if it hadn't stubbornly insisted on being a Souls-like game. Jyamma crafted an undeniably intriguing world and demonstrated the ability to develop fresh and engaging ideas in terms of game design. Unfortunately, everything falls apart due to inexperience, as the foundations that support the game never prove to be as solid and polished as one would expect from a title of this genre. The result is a combat system that feels imperfect, clumsy, unbalanced, and trapped by the notion of delivering a "difficult experience just because the genre demands it."

Black Myth: Wukong is a perfect video game representation of the concept of Yin and Yang. For every element that amazes the player, there is an equally opposite one that brings them back down to earth. Nevertheless, this is an excellent debut for Game Science in the realm of AAA titles, as well as a well-crafted and enjoyable action game that can captivate and engross players for dozens of hours. Familiarity with "Journey to the West," the work that inspired it, allows one to appreciate the many nuances that show the developers' love for the original material. However, even without knowing the story of Sun Wukong, Game Science’s work is a title we recommend to anyone who enjoys action RPGs with a strong narrative component.

Setting an invasion of the undead, led by a ruthless pantheon, in an American Civil War context could be a good enough reason on its own to give Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn a chance. But if you add to this a gameplay that, although clearly inspired by its more famous counterparts, manages to present a handful of truly interesting ideas, then there are no real reasons not to try A44 Games' production at least once.

Rise Of The Ronin is not a missed opportunity but certainly not one of those exclusives that will be remembered for years to come, either. The excellent combat system crafted by Team Ninja, along with an engaging story that is respectful of the historical period used as a setting, make it an enjoyable game and, certainly, capable of beguiling fans of Ronin, Samurai and stories set in ancient Japan. At the same time, however, an obvious inexperience with the reference genre, coupled with an insufficient technical compartment.

Mario VS. Donkey Kong is an excellent re-release capable of properly debuting one of the most distinctive IPs in Nintendo's history. The "portable" nature of the production emerges very strong from the first moments of play, as well as, the moment you sit down in front of a monitor and start playing, the experience loses some of its magic by virtue of a strong redundancy of the proposed situations.

With Star Ocean: The Second Story R, Gemdrops has worked in the round on every aspect of the original 1998 game, giving JRPG lovers an indispensable production that everyone should play at least once.

I have been very conflicted about the damned "little number" to assign to Super Mario RPG, as this remake is an experience that, by some mysterious sorcery, is still very solid in multiple respects and capable of both bringing new players to an increasingly niche genre, appeasing old fans with a remake that does not distort the original work, and offering a very valid, compact and disengaged JRPG to fans of the genre.

Sonic Superstars, net of a few minor smears, is a little gem capable of restoring the two-dimensional series dedicated to SEGA's iconic blue hedgehog to its former glory.

EA Sports WRC is not the miracle we expected from Codemasters but it turns out, nevertheless, to be a very good racing game dedicated to rally full of ups and downs.

UFC 5 is a production that verges, at least in its genre of belonging, on perfection. Were it not for an easily "breakable" combat system as soon as one learns all its nuances, the new iteration of EA's series would show the side of very few smears.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the exclusive that every gaming machine would love to have in its portfolio, as well as the perfect Christmas gift. An accessible, fun game with an undoubtedly appealing character that again succeeds in providing an experience suitable for all ages. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the sequel that Insomniac needed to make, which, while having some flaws, manages to improve on many aspects of the previous games, offering an excellent more of the same that will delight anyone who enjoyed the previous chapters. As scripted, this is not a production that breaks with the past but rather continues a larger project that, without too much doubt, is still far from seeing its end.

Everything works and is fun, the ideas are many, and very interesting, and the general feeling is to find oneself in front of a work done with passion. However, slips on that banana peel called "experience." We would have preferred to be confronted with a Souls-like that was more refined in its foundations and capable of introducing a couple of thick innovations, as opposed to playing a title that errs on the side of presumptuousness in terms of copying FromSoftware's work, causing the many, perhaps too many, ideas it puts forth to falter.

Detective Pikachu: The Return is a sequel that remains too much anchored in the past, fossilizing in a "comfort zone" that returns a production that differs little from its predecessor in terms of novelty.

Phantom Liberty is an expansion that, by itself, manages to make up for the change of plans made by CD Projekt RED by not making the lack of a, future, second expansion felt. Content-wise, it shows itself to be solid.

The Crew Motorfest would be exactly what the series needs to shake off the concept that, nowadays, no longer has a grip on gamers. The very strong inspirations from the Forza Horizon series don't bother and, indeed, create an alternative that would also be viable, and definitely fun, were it not for a dastardly, microtransaction-driven progression.
