Echoes of the Fallen is the first of two Final Fantasy XVI DLCs, which can be completed in less than three hours and is not able to satisfy those who wanted something more important and imperious from Square Enix. The new content includes a three-story corridor dungeon inside a tower, which denotes a great deal of level design laziness and only offers a couple of spectacular boss fights. All this, to be experienced always in easy mode like the base game since it must be faced before the final mission. Forgettable and unnecessary content.

An intriguing tactical shooter that embraces the precious SWAT legacy, offering a layered and challenging gameplay. It still lacks some polishing and we can't say that every idea got to achieve its full potential, but this is definitely an interesting and compelling gameplay experience for players that love to think before shooting.

Little Goody Two Shoes was a pleasant surprise. Drawing inspiration from a well-known fairy tale, the game weaves an intriguing narrative that seamlessly blends various storytelling genres, aesthetics, and gameplay elements. The developers transition from an idyllic and fairy-tale atmosphere to grotesque nightmares effortlessly, and the entire experience is presented in an engaging way, even in the game mechanics. While there are aspects that could have been improved, and the overall story is enjoyable but not particularly memorable, it leaves us eagerly anticipating new projects from the AstralShift team.

Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal still stands as an excellent chapter in Agent 47's saga, taking us back to the heart of the '00s with more compact levels, though not entirely sacrificing the freedom offered to the player. The game has aged better than we might have expected, at least in terms of gameplay, and the mobile conversion work has proven to be quite good overall. Nevertheless, we hesitate to call this version the best way to do justice to the game, as it still remains more enjoyable in its console releases, of course.

Flashback 2 is a complete mess and it's a real shame, as its predecessor is still fondly remembered by a lot of players. We will probably never know the reasons behind such a failure, but, having spent too much time on the game, what we can do is recommending you to avoid buying it in its current state.

Even if we appreciate how Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora tries to give fans an experience similar to living the movies in first-person, all its excessive problems serve to point out that, in case we need to say it, developing a compelling videogame is way different from making a successful movie.

If you loved Dead Island 2 madly or bought the Gold version which also included the Season Pass, Haus will give you a couple of pleasant evenings, but in all other cases the advice is to wait for a price drop or the inevitable Game of the Year Edition which will include all the post-launch DLC.

Jumanji: Wild Adventures is the classic tie-in crafted without much effort, but doing the bare minimum to realise an adventure capable of eliciting just a smile from franchise fans and those who will play it together. And that's a real shame, as the IP would be a perfect fit for a more ambitious video game.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle it's a real surprise. It's a rhythm game that cleverly plays with the genre's rules, crafting a bizarre yet irresistible experience, especially enjoyable when shared with others. Of course, it still remains a rhythm game, and its quirks will likely make it appealing to a niche audience; however, once you overcome this initial hurdle, it's probably one of the best co-op experiences of the year.

Gameplay-wise, Realms of Ruin should have offered a lot more to this adaptation of Age of Sigmar.

My Time at Sandrock is an RPG-style life/farming simulator. The game offers relaxing fun gameplay with a stunning post-apocalyptic setting, a very pleasant sountrack, and an extensive ensemble of extremely well characterized extra characters.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is 100% pure nostalgia for all those born and raised in the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, pad in hand, the game is mediocre, between technical problems and a gameplay redundancy.
