LevelUp's Reviews
Without a doubt, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is an indispensable recommendation for your console and one of the most excellent releases for this end of the year, as well as a title of lasting value both in its casual fun aspect and in its competitive side.

Playing GTA V on Xbox One brought me to relive the magnificence of this extraordinary game where you can wreak destruction and mayhem in a huge setting full of traffic, policemen, pedestrians, cats, mountain lions, deer, and coyotes that you can throw into pleasure in escaping the law in any of dozens of luxury cars you buy or steal in the game. If you did not have a chance to play it in the past generation, the new version will leave you open-mouthed and if you did, it will probably amaze you too, although the surprise will quickly fade, when you realize that you are doing exactly the same missions.

Dying Light blazenly steals elements from other exponents in video games, but the way it implements each mechanic is impressive; the unfortunate thing is that, apparently, the studio lacks ambition to innovate.

Strangely poignant and profound, Grim Fandango Remastered is a well-deserved return to an adventure that fans of this genre cannot miss. Far from the easy tears and technical expertise of The Walking Dead,this title is a distinguished example of a time when updating a flawed release was much more complicated. Original, fun and indispensable if you like well-written scripts in video games, we are happy to remember Grim Fandango. If you've never played it, take it,this is your chance to enjoy it.

The title represents a good opportunity for veterans to rediscover this classic, while purists who don't know it yet may want to enjoy the original experience first. More than a reissue, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is an interpretation, an interesting revision that no player should miss. Even with a polygon mask and slight adjustments, looking underneath it reveals an unlikely adventure, a brooding glee that is unmistakably a reflection of another era of game design. Visiting Termina means leaving the epic plains of Ocarina of Time to descend into unique introspection. Welcome to the carnival.

Screamride is simple and a lot of fun, especially for those with patience and desire to design an attraction. Testing and playing with the default mountains is fun, but there is nothing like exploding your creativity and building an attraction from scratch. The future of this title is promising, but the community will decide if the creation of attractions will pay off. If you are looking for fun without ties and put your imagination to the test, do not hesitate to give this installment a try and share with the world the roller coaster of your dreams.

Ori and the Blind Forest makes you fall in love, first, with an art direction that pays attention to the last detail, then enthralls you with the soundtrack and finally, commits to you with precision control and perfect game mechanics. In short, Ori and the Blind Forest delivers on the winning formula that guarantees an experience like no other. If you own an Xbox One it is imperative that you play it.

Bloodborne is a solid quality dungeon crawler, with an interesting and novel combat proposal that, at times, manages to capture the visceral satisfaction that characterizes hard gaming. The presence of technical problems, lack of variety and a bit of haste in its content prevent it from achieving excellence, but it is definitely a quality proposition that PlayStation 4 players should not miss. Let's hope the evolution of From Software doesn't stop at this point, and that future installments will refine and give more new blood to the venerable tradition of this genre.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a recommended edition for those who do not know the title or for those veterans who want a little more.

Without a doubt, the 1-year and 7-month wait was successfully concluded. Grand Theft Auto V, in its own right, is a masterpiece that will remain within the list of the best productions for years, perhaps decades. The new version for PC arrives to affirm what we already knew: here everything looks better and it is the definitive version of a great classic of our times. Grand Theft Auto V for PC is a must-see for other studios that intend to develop PC games; it's a look at the future of the platform, its capabilities and scope. Competition in the future will be based on who achieves better optimization and options for the user. Grand Theft Auto V delivered and far exceeded what we expected. We do not hesitate to recommend it.

Wild Hunt is a game of small details: the sensation of saving someone's brother from death and watching him work the fields long afterwards; converse with the Bloody Baron at dawn in the flower garden that his wife cared for, trying to reunite his family despite his failures; sail into the twilight of the frozen north; lose yourself gathering herbs and flowers to make a potion; enter a hidden portal in a rural witch's hut to travel to a magical garden where the beautiful Keira Metz takes her bath; Fight with bears or follow the trail of treasure in the middle of the night. All of that is miraculous and magical, the essence of role-playing and its power to tell stories and feel them as our own. This game has the dignity and beauty of all great farewells, a fortunate and nostalgic evocation, like a tale that is fondly remembered.

Pillars of Eternity made it clear that Kickstarter can be a valuable tool for developers, as long as they are committed to achieving the best possible quality of their artistic vision. In this case, the product far exceeded our expectations by delivering a wonderful, indomitable and representative experience of the RPG genre. I am eager to know what the future of the franchise will be, especially if there will be a sequel, because I want to reuse the character that I painstakingly built and watched grow.

Rocksteady bids farewell to the Batman franchise with a masterpiece, its best game to date. Each element feels like a love letter to both Batman and the fans, and the amount of fan service is ridiculous; the developers knew how to touch our most sensitive fibers and exploit them to the fullest. Batman: Arkham Knight is the perfect conclusion of an excellent saga and goes as it came: surprising us and leaving us with great satisfaction. We can only say 'thank you, Rocksteady for letting us be Batman one last time'.

Nostalgia and affection for a classic like Gears of War is powerful. The aesthetics, music, and gameplay of this title largely defined the industry. Even if I put all of that aside, this is a stellar, solid, fun video game that offers tons of content and hours of healthy entertainment. If you have never played this game, the purchase is a must. If you are a veteran, I promise you will not regret returning to Sera and exploring its ruinous beauty. You will play with a smile from ear to ear when remembering so many epic moments. Thank you, The Coalition.

Super Mario Maker is not the ultimate platform game tool (that would be learning real code) but it is the best platform game creator commercially available to all audiences. It's also an excellent anthology of Mario levels, with endless potential for growth and expansion.

Playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was difficult. Perhaps this is the most complicated review I have ever done. The game carries so much sense for the franchise and the industry that it is impossible to be indifferent to external factors. Still, it feels like the franchise has always aspired to be this installment: in each mission, a deep and complex infiltration puzzle; in each boss, a challenge; in each enemy, the opportunity to strengthen yourself; in each shot, hope; in every word, almost 30 years of relentless creativity. This game is massive, complex, challenging, deep, ambitious, innovative. More than a simple video game, it is a life of devotion to a discipline.

The highest praise I can give to Undertale is to warn the player that he will not be the same before and after finishing it: too many decisions, too many memories and too many feels await. Will you seek to forgive the proud Amazon who pursued you with her spear as her attacks lose strength before your eyes and her terrifying agony begins? Will you betray your maternal protector to go out into the world and discover the truth? Are you willing to confront the coolest skeleton you've ever seen? Will you confess to that poor fellow who helps you along the way that you have unknowingly killed the love of her life? Dozens of decisions like these (or different, because every Undertale game is different) will be presented to you before you get to the moment of truth. Will you accept the challenge? I do, and I don't regret it.

Hearts of Stone is an extremely interesting expansion for The Witcher 3, faithful in tone and development to the saga but that is much more than "stoic hero faces a world in which humans are more monsters than the monsters whose heads ask for." Therefore, it represents fresh air for this saga that is about to reach its end, which we want to be spectacular. In summary, whoever buys this DLC will not regret anything, neither in content nor in quality. Now, to wait for our last wish.

At the end of the day, Halo 5 is a great option for fans of the saga, even those of us who were suspicious after the launch of Halo 4 and, especially, the Master Chief Collection. If you fall into this category, this game is an option that you don't need to think about. If you have never played a Halo it is likely that its multiplayer will catch you and you will become a fan, but you have to know that you will need to do a lot of research to catch up with the story because otherwise you will not understand what is happening.

Tales from the Borderlands is a good choice if you're looking to get away from the drama and suspense of other Telltale Games titles. Even if you are not a fan of Borderlands, this game will get you a laugh and may even convince you to play the rest of the series to learn the whole story. With each new installment, Telltale seems to learn more and has high expectations for its next game. So far, Tales is one of the best titles from the developer by combining great characters, a good story and moments that will remain in your memory. The ending is somewhat ambiguous, so I feel like a second season may be on the way and I can't wait to get back to Pandora.
