Need for Speed Unbound manages to reinvigorate a long-lived franchise that still manages to stand out, even after almost 30 years of existence. The aesthetics and atmosphere of the game refer to the golden times of NFS Underground and NFS Hot Pursuit with elements that make the experience modern and fun. It's a title that could be the starting point for a new generation of the series after many years of ups and downs.

Even though it's the brand's first entry in a new genre, Marvel’s Midnight Suns reached a respect-worthy result. With an interesting general plot and good use of the diverse elements of the famous comics brand, the game presents a fun strategic combat system with cards. It's difficult to ignore the below-average visuals but they work well in the battles and do not compromise the full package. If you're a fan of the genre, the Marvel universe or feel curious about the idea, it certainly is an excellent suggestion for your library.

Solar Ash is a 3D adventure that bets on its quick and stylish action to offer a fast-paced journey. Skating fast and solving navigation puzzles through its exotic sceneries is fascinating, especially due to the enticing creativity of its areas. Besides that, the battles against huge monsters are notable for being visually impressive. The concepts are solid and the universe is beautiful, but the execution leave [much] to be desired. The constant presence of trial and error, the erratic camera, repetitive progression and other issues hamper the experience as a whole. Overall, Solar Ash is a reasonable adventure but far from being unforgettable.

Grime: Colors of Rot is a great game and ranks above average for metroidvanias in combat and world richness. Even so, it should be noted that the high difficulty may not please everyone. The atmosphere, morbid and without great excesses, sets the mythological tone of accompanying a force that moves through a strange world to fulfill its existence. Only its curiosity is as great as its sense of destruction and both will be satiated by exploring and absorbing everything the title has to offer.

Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef runs away from all the heavily crafted narrative of the franchise to deliver simpler, more sincere and objective fun. The commands can be a little out of the ordinary, but this is a good title to enjoy with friends.
