Chocobo GP is a fun but rather modest game. If half the ambition that was put into monetizing the title was put into building a fairer progression system and equally whimsical in its gameplay base and circuit construction, we could have one of the most fun kart games of recent years here. Unfortunately, we are left with the 'if'...

Arise: A Simple Story takes you on a journey of emotions through the memories of a protagonist. A simple and focused story, quite unique among the industry's common epic narratives. Being a game where you control the time, it also surprises by the fact that it respects the player's time a lot, being a shorter experience (about 4 hours), but free of any unnecessary moments or irrelevant content.

The game has an interesting and visually appealing open world, and exploration is accompanied by a divine soundtrack, but there is little endgame content, and many of the side quests and exploration missions can become tedious due to a lack of objectives and originality.

The more I played and was captivated by Triangle Strategy's storyline, the more I understood that its excellent overarching story was changing my review. It is very easy to get carried away by what is good and close our eyes to everything else, but the truth is that the latest Square-Enix title has some problems: some poorly developed characters, little content outside the main story, imbalance between exposition and action, among others mentioned in the review. It's not all bad, though, because it's an entertaining tactical RPG to a certain extent, even more so after starting New Game Plus with all the other routes unexplored; most of the systems in question also work well for what they are. It's a solid recommendation to make for any lover of the genre, I just hope they have a strategy in place to combat the long dialogue sessions.

An adventure that connects the player to the main character in a bond that once made is never broken. From the brilliant animation and interactions between player and character, to offering a platforming adventure with puzzles and healthy doses of challenge and magic, it's simply impossible not to get your heart filled.

Forgive Me Father was a game I didn't know at all, but as soon as I saw it it captivated me right away, and I'm glad I was able to experience this game as it not only brings with it a dose of nostalgia, but adds a layer of its own, both creepy and euphorizing. This is definitely a product that Byte Barrel should be proud of.

A true racing simulator with hallucinating graphics and details, allied to a nostalgia with the 2009 season, make this game a mix between Asseto Corza and F1 21 on two wheels, which will certainly delight fans, it remains to be seen if they will have the hands to control these two-wheeled monsters?

Trek To Yomi is the most perfect 2.5D homage you'll find to Japanese mythology and culture, but above all with a special focus on the cinematic achievements of Akira Kurosawa, delivering wonderfully well, and stealing full credit for the simple and rather repetitive gameplay that stays with us for about five hours of gameplay.

Evil Dead: The Game could be another horror game falling into the well of asymmetrical 4v1 but by respecting the saga and the genre it manages to positively stand out from the rest, offering more than just another horror game. With a very affordable price tag, whether with friends, strangers or with the help of the AI, countless terrifying sessions await you.

Winter Ember is a game that really stirs my nostalgia. Being a fan of classic stealth games, I feel that we have here a tribute to one of the great pioneers of the genre. It's a game that stumbles a few times along the way, but it's worth it for the classic experience it provides.

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake is an excellent remake in the true sense of the word. It falls short in some corners such as longevity, new content or even the lack of a proprietary online mode, making it hard to justify the asking price at launch. It is, however, still a fun experience with the frantic pace at which the levels progress and the new unlockable weapons. Given the simplicity of the title and how faithful it is to the arcade experience, you need to set your expectations correctly before hitting the buy button.

Any image from Silt serves perfectly to convey what the game is all about: a rather lonely and dangerous journey. At no point does it hold our hand, leaving us at the mercy of the ocean floor. Although it is characterized by these attributes, it is definitely a journey worth taking.

An adventure that concludes and reveals itself as THE game that any VR gamer must have in their library. From Polyarc's heart that resonates with ours in a merry-go-round of emotions, to the very well crafted story, from the incredible level of animation to an interactivity that allows to create a precious player-personage link, from fresh mechanics to a new enriching characters. Dear reader, Moss and Moss: Book 2 are prescribed by Squared Potato to any VR headset owner.

Cotton Fantasy remains a game that is fairly consistent in style and comfortable to its origins, perhaps even too much so. The experience is challenging and the introduction of new styles of gameplay bring a fresh look to the series, but it still lacks more, especially for a 30-year legacy.

Rogue Legacy 2 is a Roguelite textbook, with solid mechanics and an understanding of the best parts of the genre, with a focus on improving, and even eliminating most of your frustrations. A charismatic game with its comic art and solid mechanics.

The Quarry brings Supermassive's standard quality in a shot across the bow of what it captures in horror movies. There are plenty of decisions for us to build our narrative, and while they could be more concrete, they give us chances to get back on track. A short adventure but full of captivating moments.

Wonder Boy Collection undoubtedly brings a must-have for anyone who has never played, presenting viable alternatives to the pacing characteristic of the arcade/retro era. It could have been a more packed batch, but the titles present do not disappoint, serving perfectly to demonstrate the evolution that this iconic series has had in such a short time.

Final Vendetta is the closest 90's classic arcade beat 'em up you'll find being released today. This is a challenging and sometimes frustrating title, ideal for the hardcore fans of the genre who want the ultimate challenge of the old school arcade experience.

Cloud Gardens is the perfect break you need if what you're looking for is an escape from the frenetic paced games or stressful environment of your everyday life. Without any story, enter this relaxing sandbox adventure and challenge yourself to create beautiful gardens in post-apocalyptic settings. In short, this is what the game is all about and it is an absolutely therapeutic journey.

To be honest Starship Troopers: Terran Command is not a bad game, but rather just mediocre, joining the list of other titles that drink and breathe this property, but without managing to live up to the name. You realize there could be a good RTS here, but the various issues raised by the review outside prevent it from being something bigger and better (there is no multiplayer either!). If you are a true fan of the saga and all that it encompasses you might find some fun here, otherwise I advise waiting for the next attempt.
