Born of Bread is one of the biggest surprises of the year. An RPG that is initially simple, but that captivates with each new mission and component that we encounter. In addition to the visuals strongly inspired by Paper Mario, the game brings a lightness that hasn't been found in a title of the genre for a long time. Fun, with a delightful exploration, combat that works, an excellent soundtrack and full of pop culture references, Born of Bread is a game that deserves attention and that fulfills its main objective: to entertain and, at the end of the day, leave us with a smile on our face.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is a very worthy adaptation of this universe for games, even if it gets lost in the interface for the DualSense. The linearity and restrained scope of the adventure may bother those expecting an RTS of large proportions. But with anticipation in place, there's plenty to enjoy here.

As a complete game, The King of Fighters XIII: Global Match is exceptional and almost indefectible, but the justification of relaunching it with a remodeled online system using the best that is currently ends up proving to be a shot in the foot, with an unstable, incomplete result and full of choices, including aesthetic, questionable.

Even if it's still limited by trends in the genre, Roots of Pacha builds a farming simulator with its own personality by centering the theme of community in its upbeat and relaxing campaign. Unfortunately, this didn't extend to multiplayer, which is online-only and doesn't allow you to share the screen locally with the loved ones who are next to you.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections finally brings the entire saga of its protagonist to one game, along with a plethora of iconic characters from the franchise. Its mechanics and aesthetics, however, recycle everything that was already present in the previous games, with qualities and defects, which should please longtime fans and put off anyone else.

Dead Island 2: Haus stands out for maintaining the game's basic structure and presenting a new uncompromising story without much logic. With a short duration and little beyond the basics, it lacks enough content to warrant a return to the game.

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn delivers a lot of extra content and manages to delve even deeper into the history of the people of Dehna and Rena, making it a must-have DLC for those who loved spending hours on end helping Alphen and his friends in the main campaign.

KarmaZoo has a proposal that in practice only works by playing with friends. It's almost impossible to complete and have fun with randoms. In the end, it's an interesting platform game, with a unique concept, but honestly it's only worth playing with acquaintances.

Barton Lynch Pro Surfing is definitely a game made by surfers for surfers. Even if its technical part falls short of what we expect from a game these days, the gameplay is fun and represents the feeling of surfing very well.

The Last Faith enters the ambivalence of familiarity: while it delivers on its promise to blend metroidvania and soulslike competently, it never surprises or innovates. The campaign is challenging, but its good pace of shortcuts, fast travel points, and leveling up propels us to advance further and further through the melancholy world of beautifully detailed gothic pixel art.

Worldless stands out for its vibrant visual aesthetic and strategic challenges in turn-based battles. The abstract approach to the plot and the lack of detailed explanations can be frustrating, requiring discovery through trial and error. The experience offers intense moments, in which precise timing is crucial and which make the game challenging. Backtracking encourages exploration and solving challenges with new abilities, despite some frustrating elements regarding understanding the mechanics.

Haunted House is exactly what you'd expect from a conventional roguelite, favoring stealth over direct combat. Abusing a cartoonish art style, it offers good, but sometimes unstable mechanics, as well as a solid but repetitive and not always rewarding progression model.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gets it wrong in practically every possible aspect, from the campaign with dubious design and shallow story, to the uninteresting zombies mode and even its classic competitive multiplayer mode delivering far below expectations. Little is really original and the game feels more like a reuse of parts of Warzone to create a new product to be sold at full price.

When played just for fun, Teardown is an excellent experience of destruction, with your imagination being the limit to create the most varied situations. Unfortunately, some of this is limited to a repetitive campaign mode and one that can become frustrating on many occasions.

Berzerk: Recharged is fun for a limited time, and it gets it right by utilizing strong arcade game elements. However, a bolder approach would ensure an even larger audience for the Atari classic in its new version.

The Talos Principle 2 is a masterpiece that ventures into puzzles and the philosophical universe of deep questions. Although it is aimed at an audience that seeks exciting, challenging and honest intellectual stimuli, this is a less intimidating experience than it may seem, thanks to the flexibility to advance in the campaign and the certainty that each puzzle already brings with it everything necessary to solve it. Few games have given me so much satisfaction with the beauty of seeing it all connect and finally unravel the riddle before me, making me rush right to the next one. This is one of the best games of 2023 and I'm glad it exists.

DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue is a collection of generic and uninspired solutions that tries to sustain itself by the charisma of a franchise much loved by children. It fails narratively, aesthetically, and, especially, in the fun factor by not being able to justify itself, even when it works.
