Fun Factor

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is another amazing game by From Software that makes controlling these mechs a treat, especially in combat where there's countless options on offer, making the replay value really high although I wish there was more incentive to explore the different areas we come across.

Viewfinder explores an interesting concept that greatly uses perspective to build entertaining puzzles that do some really interesting things, but in the end I left the experience with the feeling that more could have been done, and some of the new mechanics introduced towards the end don't really get to shine.

Final Fantasy XVI certainly excels in spectacle, boasting superb boss fights with a great combat system and narrative, but the quieter moments outside of those big scenes end up mostly uninteresting and boring with RPG elements that feel mostly inconsequential.

While I struggled with defining Atomic Heart's identity, I think I can assume a few things about the game. Narratively, it wants to be comical even with its tragedy, but the main plot bets on the drama behind the main character's past and their personal relationships; as well as predictable and empty plot twists. Despite the comparisons with Bioshock, it doesn't step too close to the atmosphere or even the combat of the classic title. It tries to be itself, even though the inspirations are noticeable. Although I was enamored with the first trailers of Atomic Heart and dreamt of that "beyond Bioshock" title, with several websites reporting on development problems and the successive delays made me wary of it. In the end, I still enjoyed the game for what it offered, even after losing its charm due to its frustrations and disappointments.

Street Fighter 6 is a masterclass in the fighting game genre, with exciting new mechanics and characters that make the fights even more fun, even though the story mode drags a bit too much in the later half, hurting an otherwise great addition to the series.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a masterclass in game design, with a rich and vast open world where creativity rules above all else, coupled with a great soundtrack, fun combat and tons of new abilities to use.

Humanity is a great puzzle adventure that uses different mechanics to keep the experience challenging and fresh, with each chapter being quite varied, but towards the end some of that diversity works against it, becoming a bit uneven.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed finishes this saga with a compelling story coupled with amazing fights elevated by a great combat system, although the new AP system can be a bit divisive it's still heavily recommended to any longtime Xenoblade fan.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an incredible game, boasting a great story coupled with top notch combat and rich worlds to explore, unfortunately its technical state is so dire I can't recommend it at all for the time being.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a technical masterpiece, possibly the best looking game right now, but as an expansion it plays way too safe with no meaningful improvements and ends up a bit forgettable due to it.

The best thing I have to say about Dead Island 2 is "It's a zombie game that released in 2023.". It's a generic, repetitive title that thinks it's funnier that it really is. After 15 hours, I was begging for it to be over.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a really fun metroidvania and a possible new franchise in the making but dragged down by an awful map system that does more harm than good.

Resident Evil 4 is an incredible remake, with some of the best gameplay in the genre and lots of improvements compared to the original but a wonky aiming system on controller and some changes leave to be desired.

Dead Space Remake is masterful remake that not only improves everything it builds up upon but adds even more content, being a sure fire hit for fans.

Wo Long is definitely a good Soulslike, with addicting combat and epic encounters, but an uneven parry and level design drag the experience down.

While adding some wonderful modes like Merry Magoland and the Magolor Epilogue, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe leaves a lot to be desired with its shallow and boring level design carried over from an ok 12 year old game, not justifying it's full price.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! sticks very closely to the Yakuza series' formula. Which means it'll bring its players both fun combat, ridiculous side content and some great character moments... and also exceeding amounts of expository dialogue and filler story beats.

Hi-Fi Rush is a beautiful cel shaded game that mixes the hack and slash genre with music and rhythmic actions, and while it falters a bit with the pacing and has some frustrating sequences, it's a delight from start to finish, one I just couldn't put down.

Super Kiwi 64 while barebones in content, is an incredibly charming, cheap and surprisingly great to play short little game that does a good homage to the games of the N64 era.

Evil West has great timing with its short, action packed campaign, although its issues are not easy to ignore.
