Even if some of the campaign's design choices are unfortunate, Kirby's Return to Dream Land is still fun 10 years after its original release. With a number of significant improvements and content additions that anyone who has played this platformer on Wii should be able to justify the purchase, the Switch version is a solid recommendation for all types of players and the best version of this adventure of the pink ball and the your friends. Still, this remake could have gone further in adding new features and correcting the title's biggest defects.

Atomic Heart is a game that constantly takes one step back for every two it takes forward. Everything that does extremely well always comes with a “but” stuck in it. Visually it is incredibly beautiful, but the characters are ugly. The third-person shooter gameplay is extremely fun, but the arena design is frustrating. The world and the story are quite interesting, but there's one more twist that doesn't make sense and the protagonist is obnoxious. Still, it's an experience with more significant highs than lows, and one that fans of first-person shooters can take a lot of pleasure from.

Wild Hearts brings some (but little) originality to a genre that is already quite beaten. Players who enjoy Monster Hunter, but who already feel saturated with it, will be able to find here some new mechanics that are quite interesting. We also highlight the monsters, which are well characterized and are not excessive, such as weapons (except their evolutions), armor and environments, it seems that (almost) everything has found its natural balance in Wild Hearts.

Hogwarts Legacy manages to transport us to a magical world of wizards, castles, magical creatures and lots of adventure. In this game, they will be able to truly feel what it would be like to spend a year at Hogwarts, visiting some of its most iconic places. Whether or not you are a fan of the adventures of Harry Potter or Newt Scammader, you were certainly delighted with what the game presents.

Powerwash Simulator is one of the most relaxing and rewarding gaming experiences I can remember. The simple and immersive gameplay leads to an authentic state of zen for dozens of hours, falling short of nirvana due to a boring design decision and technical problems that end up being exhausting. Even so, it's a great game to relax and wash away our irritations and day-to-day problems, making it a recommendable experience even for those who aren't fans of this type of games.

A game that was nearly perfect just got even better. Without much fuss, just with an aesthetic treatment and improved controls, we are facing an experience that is in no way behind the most recent releases. This is truly an excellent Metroid 3D, with a challenging exploration and suspense component, facing a planet full of dangers and mysteries. A highly recommended game for lovers of the genre and anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch.

Wanted: Dead brings so much and at the same time, that as a player we are perplexed. That's way too many emotions for a game that doesn't make any effort to truly improve any of them. Despite everything, the evident humorous side takes us to the opposite of the most negative emotions that we could get from this experience, even reaching several moments of: "just go for another 10 minutes". I can't really recommend it, but honestly I can't tell you to put it away either. In my humble opinion, despite everything and the calamity of everything that the game brings, I will give it a positive note... just because it managed t9 make my comic persona won over my rational one!

Those who played the original version will really be able to feel some repetition to relive a game of this scale, but for the simple fact that it was a game that already marked a generation at the time. However, I believe that these players will still have their senses put to the test during game time. The graphic improvements that this new version brings are a delight, and even those who choose to play in performance mode will certainly not be disappointed. Anyone who has never played the game, whether they like the genre or not, shouldn't miss the growing suspense that Dead Space brings.

One Piece Odyssey manages to bring together the best of both worlds: a wonderful exploration experience through the most important anime's settings, as well as a very well-developed combat experience. The difficulty level is quite low, allowing anyone interested to finish the game without any difficulty. However, I can't recommend the game to anyone looking to get to know the world of One Piece, since the "flashback" moments are very confusing and in some cases completely distorted or poorly explained . For true fans of the series, if you can accept these aspects, you will get the most out of the experience, just like I did!

Persona 3 Portable is an excellent title that allows newer players, for a very affordable price, to gain access to one of the best RPGs on PlayStation 2…albeit in a “lite” version. Still, it would have made perfect sense to have been released a more complete version of this title or one witb added bonus components to this particular title (such as concept art, soundtrack, or producer commentary). However, some work by the publisher in revitalizing this particular title for the current market is notorious. If you liked Persona 5, you'll already know what to expect here: The bases where “everything” came from... in a more "Lite" way!

Anyone who plays Persona 4 will quickly notice that it is the basis for the creation of Persona 5. There is no escaping this reality. Fortunately, we are pleased to note that a game from 2008 still manages to present arguments to go head to head with another from 2016, or even the most recent releases from the Publisher. Despite all the similarities present, with this title in particular, the game presents a sufficiently interesting experience, demonstrating that there are titles, despite how old they are, they deserve to have an opportunity these days. Persona 4 Golden is one of them!

Soul Hackers 2 is a solid turn-based RPG, but it fails to introduce anything new or consolidate all elements of the introduced experience. Fortunately, it features great characterization and a solid plot that keeps us on our toes throughout the game. Fans of Shin Megami Tensei will certainly be able to enjoy it, but overall there are better alternatives.

Final Fantasy:Crisis Core Reunion is one of the best remasters I've ever played. With a completely overhauled look for today market, refined gameplay and a renowned soundtrack, it's easily one of the best RPGs of the year. Despite some details that could be worked better, this is a title that will truly delight fans and give due prominence to a great character in this world.

Need for Speed Unbound is a game quite interesting to drive, visually appealing and have countless cars to choose from (although we wont't ever have the money to buy them!). However, it becomes fatal and boring due to the repetition imposed, either by the racing, running from the police, or even the frustration of having to decide which tracks to do with all the nuances that entails. With the help of a good soundtrack, we can almost smell the Underground but unfortunately it's not quite there yet.

God of War: Ragnarök is nothing short of a divine experience, on every level. It somehow manages to improve on everything from the phenomenal 2018 entry. The story, gameplay, environmental design, technical consistency, performances – it's all absolutely flawless. This work of art is challenging, it's impactful, it's exciting, it's touching and it's beautiful. For all that and more, this is a title that deserves to join the pantheon of one of the best works in our industry. There are no perfect games, but damn if God of War: Ragnarök isn't incredibly close to that feat.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is a title to consider for several reasons. The fact that it incorporates the different mechanics in a balanced and non-excessive way makes it a very solid experience, the only sin being that this new version for PS5 does not add practically anything new compared to versions of previous generations. However, the humorous aspect present is really great and it gives a lot of pleasure, always with a smile on your face!

New Tales From The Borderlands, was an unexpected announcement. For those who loved the first title, like me, it was another game to end on my wishlist. It definitely presents itself with a completely different personality: funnier, more interaction between the characters, a completely new story and with a new cast (but with some familiar faces). However, the lack of "real" gameplay is quite notorious, the secondary characters have few moments of "fame" and their story is quite confusing. New Tales From The Borderlands is far from being a reasonable game, on the contrary, it is even a must-have game for anyone who loves this genre and especially anyone who is a fan of the original Borderlands series, as well as the adaptation made by Telltale Games.

Return to Monkey Island is above all a return to the origins of the series. They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice, but Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman managed to create an experience that in every way evokes the feelings conveyed by the original titles. Let's hope that Guybrush's adventures (these new adventures) don't stop there! We suspect that there are still many stories behind this infamous secret!

We've played a lot of war games, some were really good, others were just horrible and my expectations for this game were a little low, also because lately the series has promised a lot and delivered little. However, we were surprised quite positively. The story is simply incredible and maybe one of the best if not the best we've ever played in a Call of Duty game (yes, we dare say it's better than the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2). It has a bit of everything, drama, plot twists, anxious moments and plenty of enthusiasm. The multiplayer is well polished (except the respawn), with everything to improve even more over the coming months. In general, Activision has once again shown that it manages to reboot without tarnishing the image of a game that was once recognized by many as the best of the year in question.

Bayonetta 3 is one of those games where you can't help but feel good while playing. Taking the work of the previous game and improving on it in practically every aspect, this title offers us a much more diverse, fun gameplay and a more consistent and appealing story with excellent characters and touching twists. Not even the fact that it is one step away from disaster from a technical point of view prevents Bayonetta 3 from being one of the easiest games to recommend to everyone this year.
