Skull and Bones has ended up being a rather decent game for the catastrophe it could have become. Playing it, you understand why Ubisoft didn't decide to cancel it and gave it a chance. The work of the French multinational may not be the ultimate pirate fantasy, but it is indeed an open-world game with MMO elements and a solid gameplay foundation. It's not a game for everyone, and only time will tell if it ends up being so.

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story provides an intriguing peek into the world of Yordles, Runeterra's most endearing race. In this latest offering from Riot Forge, developed in collaboration with Lazy Bear Games, we're treated to a straightforward yet engaging storyline. However, the gameplay leaves me somewhat torn. Is it a tad monotonous, or am I simply missing its charm? Despite its shortcomings—like mundane fetch quests and tedious walks—the game's vibrant world and charming characters manage to salvage the experience.

It's a very faithful remake in terms of gameplay, with all the good and all the bad that comes with it. But the level design is still excellent, and the new worlds that this version brings are a breath of fresh air that suits it wonderfully. Mario's reduced mobility may shock those who are more accustomed to the plumber's big jumps and pirouettes in games that are purely platformers, but what makes Mario vs. Donkey Kong shine is its puzzles and the ingenuity behind them.

Arrowhead Game Studios has been able to release a sequel that improves in every aspect what was seen in its first video game. One of the best cooperative titles we've probably had in a long time, where fun and madness go hand in hand, something that, sometimes, is difficult to watch in a video game of this type. So, if you want to have some fun time with your buddies on a rainy afternoon, I think Helldivers 2 is the best thing you can play right now. Now it's your turn to be the next Helldiver.

Having completely finished Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, I can say that it is part of one of the best releases that will be released in this current year 2024. If you're looking for a story full of tension, emotion, and complicated decisions, this is the game for you. And if you already like combats full of magic, action, great animations and unbearable enemies, it will be a success if you get it. In short, this semi-open-world action RPG is one of the greatest successes that the developer has brought to life.

Is this the same Rocksteady Studios that made the legendary Batman: Arkham? Honestly, I don't know, but the game doesn't fulfill in hardly any of its various sections, being an adventure that I would only recommend if you decide to buy it at a price well below what it is currently at.

Persona 3 is a masterpiece mainly due to its amazing story. Still, Atlus has managed to improve not only the visual aspect of it, but also every other little thing in order to turn what was once a niche game into a full timeless gem. It basically features the best battle system within the entirety of the Persona series, which is supported as well by a new UI that looks simply stunning. Overall, Persona 3 is a game that will steal the players' hearts both through laughter and tears.

Infinite Wealth improves on everything over Ichiban Kasuga's first entry. The RPG elements are well polished and expanded and the secondary content such as Dondoko Island or the Sujimon hunt is hilarious, absorbing and well worth your time. Overall, Kasuga is just a great new main character, and the main story manages to strike a proper balance between a ton of comedy... and drama.

Tekken is back at full force with a very solid eight entry. This next step for the franchise is full of content that resonates with Tekken's own historic legacy. Whether it is the amazing character design, both visually and mechanically, as well as through its many family dramas, Tekken 8 just knows how to do it all. The Iron Fist Tournament is definitely as good as ever.

Another Code: Recollection is an excellent video game full of improvements and with a ton of mystery, and it will please even those who already played the originals. It has kind of a slow start, but it doesn't take too long for the game to get back on its feet, thus giving a second chance to an IP that had long been forgotten.

An excellent video game but not so much as a remaster, since the original video game already looked absolutely stunning in its original release. However, if you are amongst the few that did not play The Last of Us Part II when it first came out, then playing this entry on your PlayStation 5 will be an unforgettable experience. In the end, the most remarkable asset of this remaster is found within the few novelties added to the overall content.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is not simply a short story to contextualize the presence and appearance of Kazuma Kiryu in the chronology and history of Ichiban Kasuga. In the same way that Yakuza 0 ended up representing a magnificent 'separate' installment, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name also manages to maintain itself by pulling nostalgia and some other curious novelty.

The Talos Principle 2 is a work that excels as a video game, excels as art, and excels as a reflection, thus becoming one of the best titles of the entire year. In addition to being a substantial improvement over its predecessor, Croteam has managed to materialize a beautiful production that stands out for its entertainment but, even more, transcends for its ability to make us revalue the beauty of humanity, life and existence.

Alan Wake II is the big surprise of the year, a title that gets fully into the fight of the GOTY 2023 and elevates the Survival-Horror genre to another level. A never-before-seen level where I can only pour praise on it. If you are afraid this game is not for you, but if it is not the case I recommend that you sit back and enjoy it. Thank you Remedy.

Ghostrunner 2 is, above all, a great video game. Strictly speaking, it is a pleasant sequel that represents a noticeable improvement in plot, playability, visuals and sound; an achievement that is, due to the quality of its predecessor, a milestone in itself. However, its profound technical shortcomings, as well as the misinterpretation of what made the original experience so genuine and fresh, keep it from transcending as much as the first, although it continues to be a highly recommended product.
