Although not perfect, EA SPORTS UFC 5 is perhaps the best MMA combat game to date. The new combat additions, the numerous combat modes and the career mode, which despite being the same as the previous one, has not gotten any worse. Only a few minimal technical issues and the number of fighters present in the game remain to be improved, which will probably be added throughout the life of this title.

Flashback 2 needed to spend a few more months polishing its rough edges. There is no other way to put this. Whether it's due to the significant amount of graphical problems, problems in triggering events, or its inappropriate game mechanics, there are too many situations where we had to use all our patience to be able to complete it. Its basic premise is interesting and its origins exciting, but it is certainly an experience that would benefit from refinement.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is a wasted opportunity to praise the great hero that Hellboy is. All combat mechanics work as well as possible, but they lack a lot due to their simplicity. The rogue-like aspects leave the feeling of having been made in a hurry and without any intention of elaborating them very deeply. This feeling of emptiness remains whenever we traverse the huge and repetitive maps or defeat the same enemies over and over again.

Sonic Superstars is not a good experience, nor is it an experience that I can recommend in the slightest to any player, regardless of how much of a fan they are of this iconic mascot. The levels are so poorly designed that almost the entire experience becomes frustrating to the point of wanting to tear your hair out – especially the boss battles. Only the artistic direction and one idea or another prevent this game from being a complete failure, but they don't prevent it from being one of the worst games ever in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and one of the biggest disappointments of the year.

Marvel’s Spiderman 2 is a game that manages to present a quality consistent with its predecessors, while duly revised to the latest market standards. By fusing several narrative, gameplay and character characterization elements, it presents an experience that stands out from others within the genre. Whether you're fans of the series or new players, you've certainly had a great time in the company of one of the most captivating duets in the superhero business!

It's always a breath of fresh air when something original comes along. In ENDLESS Dungeon, although the various genres in its baggage are not exactly new, the various details taken under the microscope of each of them and interconnected with each other, form a cohesive, new and quite pleasant mix. Combined with the care they included in the musical aspect, it is without a doubt a title to have in our library.

As fan of the anime, Last Recollection leaves me with a very bittersweet taste in my mouth. If on the one hand I let myself be carried away by yet another adventure by Kirito and company, the various negative aspects made this experience somewhat boring. Overall, I enjoyed mostly because I like the genre of the game itself. An experience that I think fans of the series will appreciate despite everything, but that could otherwise leave the casual player disinterested after a few hours.

"Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story" aims to provide a more relaxed experience for its target audience. I believe this audience is much younger, considering the difficulty and simplicity of the game, as well as the complexity of the narrative. However, it does not differ from what is a good adventure with moments of learning, relaxation or some more intense ones. A game that, for lovers of League of Legends and its entire universe, will bring new knowledge about the lore of Nunu & Willump and the Freljord.

Ghostrunner 2 raises the bar. Without a doubt, the studio greatly improved the previous title and brought more and better. It's not perfect yet, but it's very close. I believe that the theme specifically created for this saga, combining the cyberpunk theme with the first-person platform style, has even more to offer. Let's hope Ghostrunner 3 comes, and adds even more innovations and original ideas, just like this second one did!

Everhood: Eternity Edition is a very successful rhythm adventure game, but it fails to reach the level of stardom of the game from which it is inspired. It's a very fun adventure, with a different combat style, a well-built world and a soundtrack that makes me tap my foot. But it tries too hard and without success to be a new Undertale, ending up leaving something to be desired in some moments of the story (especially in the ending) and in the characters it presents. It's a great, great indie, which I'll want to return to more often, but it falls a little short in some aspects, which prevents it from being a title for the ages.

Cyberpunk 2077 is now much more accessible in terms of performance, which could bring many players back and many new ones so they can have fun in this futuristic universe. The review of the game's various systems and elements is a breath of fresh air and transforms this title into the dream promised a few years ago. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC, boosted by the new patch 2.0, in all its glory, puts this game back on the RPG map. A spy thriller amidst so much action that it becomes a clear must play for fans of this world created by CD Projekt Red.

Play Disgaea 7. It's fun, strategic, complex. If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, it might as well be Disgaea 7. The new additions are well done, and leave behind less accomplished features of previous titles.

Not going to lie to you: EA Sports FC 24 has been somewhat disappointing so far. The changes aren't that big compared to last year, but there are modes that work worse, new features that irritate more than they entertain, years-old errors that still haven't been resolved and a new ugly and confusing user interface. Not everything is bad, since, if we discount the foul system, the gameplay continues to be fun and the best on the market. So, if EA Sports simulators have captivated you before, this one will too. If not, or if they are tired of the formula, then they will probably do as I did and not wait for the final whistle to leave the stadium.

The Teal Mask is not an indispensable addition to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, it is a DLC that ends up being practically more of the same. If, like me, you loved the unprecedented freedom and interactivity with Pokémon in their habitats in the base game, then you'll find more of that pleasure in Kitikami. If, on the other hand, the technical, graphical and performance problems that plague the entire ninth generation frustrate you and disturb your fun, perhaps this is not such an appealing return. How recommendable this expansion is depends on whether you hate to love or love to hate the entire ninth generation of Pokémon.

It's not for everyone and Lies of P is a cruel experience for the more relaxed, but it has several details that are so well done that I recommend it to anyone who wants to delve into a new alternative universe of the story of Pinocchio and company. It doesn't have the prominence of, for example, Elden Ring, but it has its own identity that, let's not lie, lets the player get involved and feel a mix of positive emotions (and some less positive ones when we die).

With an anemic minigame selection and insufficient depth to diversify gameplay, Everybody 1-2 Switch! completely exhausts its appeal in two or three hours. On the current supreme console for local multiplayer, this proposal is unable to hold a candle to the countless superior alternatives present in the vast Nintendo Switch catalogue, which is a shame given that it is, at its limited core, an accessible and intuitive experience for everyone and more.

Mortal Kombat 1 was perhaps one of the best games, if not the best fighting game I've ever played. The path that NetherRealm decided to create, gave rise to a world of possibilities. This aspect, combined with the huge cast of characters in the universe, means that the innovation and paths that the Mortal Kombat story can take from now on are endless. The combat is perfect, the Kameos bring more innovation and add something that we would never have imagined would work so well. The Invasions mode left me a little hesitant the first time I saw it, but it was undoubtedly a huge surprise and perhaps the best aspect of this game. Mortal Kombat 1 is a great starting point for new players but it's also a great game for older fans.

In "Under the Waves" we didn't find the graphics of Detroit Become Human or the plot that Heavy Rain develops, but I found a more solid and engaging experience as a whole. By simplifying some elements and refining others, we are faced with a solid narrative that will captivate players and easily allow us to join the character's struggle... on a personal or professional level. The developer's bet on teaming up with an organization with "on-site" knowledge of the reality and difficulties our oceans face, was a successful bet and one that we see as an example for other publishers to follow.

I didn't find in ANONYMOUS;CODE the fascinating characters and development arcs that won me over in other SciADV experiences, but this continuation of the saga mitigates this omission with an exciting sci-fi narrative, mature explorations of intriguing themes and the introduction of a save/load mechanic which gives the player an active role in events.

I never thought I would leave with a smile on my lips from a murder mystery game in which solving murders is the least successful part, but Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE surprised me. It's a pleasure to get to know the central mysteries, characters, and locations of Kanai Ward, regardless of the ease of the crimes or some technical problems. With this title, Too Kyo Games and Spike Chunsoft have established an interesting reinterpretation of Danganronpa's mechanics, which we eagerly hope will be used as a basis and improved in new adventures by these elite detectives.
