LevelUp

Pokémon Sun and Moon brings a lot of changes to the main series. It’s easier to play and gives new users yet another chance to be part of a 20 year old franchise. Having said that, the story is dull ─Team Skull makes the anime Rocket Team look like a superior enemy─. Online multiplayer, on the other hand, is well organized but the local variant feels too simplistic. This is a typical case of "one step forward and two steps back." Some of adjustments are a success but the game also has many imperfections the developers should learn from in order to make a better Pokémon game.

Despite some undeniable improvements in terms of art direction and the underlying soul of the concept, Watch_Dogs 2 is still a sloppy product. With the persistence of AI oddities, dull graphics and physics, stereotypical plot and character design, conspicuous asset recycling, serious online problems and so on, Watch_Dogs 2 lack of polish stops it from achieving excellence once again.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is yet another licensed anime game that does not live up to the expectations. While the presentation is a success, lousy storytelling, a broken battle system and dull dialogues ruin the overall experience. The game has no rhythm or anything that makes it worthy of your attention.

Dishonored 2 is an improvement over the original game in every sense of the word. Its real value lies in the fact that it offers unique and rewarding game experiences for any type of player, whether you like to murder everyone on sight or prefer a more… ghostly approach.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is not the abomination haters would want it to be but it is clear that the franchise is going through an identity crisis. Under its bizarre sci-fi concept, the campaign still has some of the core elements you would expect from the single player mode, but the overly convoluted structure of the multiplayer, chaotic rhythm, the flashy presentation of Zombies in Spaceland and a few technical hiccups will make you hesitate when calling this a Call of Duty game.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 fixes many of the problems that the first title left unattended and once again gives the player the opportunity to fix the Dragon Ball history. The game has a great amount of content which means many hours of gameplay. Fan service and nice storytelling will keep you going until you reach the very end. However, countless localization problems, recycled elements and senseless side-missions hurt the overall experience.

World of Final Fantasy may not look like a modern open-world action RPG. But instead, it brings colorful environments, an enjoyable story, great combat mechanics and, most importantly, nostalgia at its best. This Square Enix game was made for the Final Fantasy fan who loves the series and its iconic characters. It may not have the best narrative and dialogue, but it will give players tons of entertainment on many different levels.

Improving on it's predecessors, Civilization VI stands on the shoulders of giants to reach even beyond. With more freedom, personalization, complexity and meaningful choices than ever, the game is every inch as addicting as ever, even to the veteran, who will toil with the improved difficulty, new victory conditions and mechanics. A masterpiece.

Titanfall 2 comes across as a beefier experience overall. The multiplayer mode hits the mark almost on every level while addressing most of the complaints gamers had with the original game. On top of that, now you have a proper campaign, which may not be very memorable but serves as a nice addition and a testament to Resapawn's commitment with its fans.

After this marathon analysis, we can conclude that Gears of War 4 is a great content package and, beyond the quantity, it boasts a lot of quality. We are amazed at The Coalition's ability to substantially renew each game mode in this installment. While the campaign has its ups and downs and downsides, the reality is that the experience itself feels solid and polished.

‎In short, Blizzard presents a new expansion created in a masterful way, rich in visual details and even more exquisite in the narrative aspect. We can say that players are having a honeymoon with blizzard's expansion.‎

‎As a concept, ‎‎Kerbal Space Program‎‎ is something unique. Its depth and realism provide a unique and very satisfying experience if you have the necessary patience and dedication, but the game also suffers from several design problems that bring it dangerously close to the terrain of frustration and, as an adaptation, it is a product that could have been much better. That said, if you're a fan of everything space-related or sci-fi, it's worth it and not as expensive as an average game.‎

Inside is original, meticulous, aesthetically flawless with its chiaroscuro, depth, photography, sound design, and gameplay. I would have loved for its mechanics to be fully developed. However, he earned a deserved place in the best of the year thanks to all his virtues. It is strange to discover enjoyment in what terrifies us and generates anxiety, but this game manages to generate emotions through not only its dark context, but with its mechanics. Few titles manage to do it. Inside succeeds in producing a fascination for the unspeakable. It is almost like the irresistible attraction to observe the forbidden, the obscene or the sacred.

If Hearts of Stone was an uncomfortable, dark, challenging and powerful crescendo, Blood and Wine takes up the feeling of comfort and beauty of high fantasy, transporting us to a world that, however, is as corrupted as ours. The saga that showed that another fantasy was possible in video games concludes on an elegant and comfortable note. CD Projekt RED returns to the noble tradition of expansions: more than DLC, Blood and Wine is a complete game. You can't go wrong with The Witcher 3; while we wait for the next step, it only remains to say: something ends, something begins.

I think Overwatch is essential for every FPS fan; It is the game I will dedicate to the next few years and I have no doubt that it will last more than a decade. Overwatch is fun, exciting, dynamic; accessible for beginners, but extremely difficult to master. It is a benchmark for future installments for its great attention to detail and commitment to delivering the best player experience, on and off the battlefield. Without further ado, I do not hesitate to recommend it widely for being indomitable, charismatic and most importantly: fun.

‎I highly recommend playing ‎‎DOOM because‎‎ it managed to go back in time and capture the essence of classic FPS and innovate the game system with a deadly dose of evisceration and blood. ‎‎DOOM‎‎ is everything I expected from the return of an experience that marked my life as a player.‎

Killer Instinct is a good fighting title for the Xbox One. The addition of the seasons has given Microsoft reason to return to the series on one platform and not leave it as a traditional product that people could quickly abandon. Hopefully the product grows, for the sake of fighting games and its competitive scene.

Demon's Souls had the spirit, Dark Souls had the lore, Dark Souls II the difficulty, Bloodborne the combat ... Dark Souls III is a bit of a mix of everything but a little less strong and shocking than its predecessors. It's a high-quality game and an ending worthy of a trilogy and even a pentalogy. But it doesn't make you feel bad that From Software stopped, which is a bit sad. I feel that From Software must have other sights. The era of great linear adventures has passed, and the open worlds cry out for good mechanics and combat. Time to do something else. Dark Souls III is the end of an era but it is also the opportunity for the virtues that From Software has cultivated in the dungeon crawler from King's Field to transcend into more ambitious genres. As for Dark Souls III, it is a necessary ending. Ash to ashes, dust to dust.

As it is, as I said at the beginning: time is the virtue and the problem of experience. The chronological concept feels fresh, but Quantum Break was in the oven for so long, I was expecting a bit more, especially from the decision-making and the show. The transmedia component passes as a distraction or marketing ploy rather than innovation, and what could have been something genuinely unique ended up being good ... nothing more. Remedy took an excessively safe route in several of his decisions and missed opportunities to transcend the game mechanics. Despite that, the action is rewarding and the story clever; more than enough elements to give the game a good grade.
