Haven captivates with an adventure that mixes light RPG and survival elements. It is exciting to glide through an exotic planet with areas that invite exploration. The combat surprises with its depth and variety in tactical battles that require rhythm, coordination and a lot of attention. At the center of this is a charismatic couple of protagonists whose relationship is explored in countless fun scenes full of complicity. Some elements in the exploration are a little obtuse and break the fluidity, but they are circumventable. In the end, Haven turns out to be a remarkable and memorable journey.

While the flaws in Empire of Sin are significant, they are not enough to take the shine away from this Romero Games title. The bold proposal to mix different genres and moments in a game only ends up making the experience varied and interesting, especially for fans of the theme and genres contemplated here. When you spend time with the game, you get the impression that it would benefit from a little more development time. Still, creating and maintaining an empire of respect is as fun as it sounds. Honestly, I hope that the developers and the publisher continue to support the franchise - there is undeniable potential here.

The Falconeer is one of those cases in which the positive aspects are much more numerous than the possible flaws, easily ignored if one has an appreciation for the concept. In real life, birds learn to fly by falling and trying again until the process soon becomes natural. Perhaps the learning curve here requires a comparable initial effort, but the good news is that this is an adventure that deserves to be experienced, even if it's in the easy mode.

Exit the Gungeon has maintained the same degree of challenge since it was launched, in which skill and good luck are still the main ingredients for the player to triumph.

The Pathless wraps you with its agile mechanics and a sense of freedom. It is ecstatic to explore the world as the Huntress, who jumps and runs with speed and style while shooting arrows at targets. Progression is free and the vast settings have a lot of puzzles and story context, but the limited variety gets tiring after a while. The visuals, the music and the ambiance create an adventure with a contemplative feel, however the simplicity of many aspects is uncomfortable. In the end, The Pathless offers a unique, if not very memorable, journey.

Although some little things could have been better worked out, this Japanese adventure is a must for your library.

Bugsnax has a wonderful story and adorable characters that will make you feel happy and sentimental all the time, especially when incorporating important themes like mental health, togetherness and friendship. It is too entertaining and intriguing to give up in the middle of the campaign, even if it is necessary to ignore its repetitive gameplay and its frequent and irritating loading screens. Ultimately, capturing creatures that are half insect, half snack nourishes life with joy and good feelings, however bizarre it may seem.

Two Point Hospital is one of those special games that have the potential to make the player lose track of the time when wrapped in their magic circle. This spiritual successor to the Theme Hospital series shows that creating and managing a hospital franchise is much more fun than a first glance might dare to realize, thanks to light themes, fun gameplay, fair challenges and an excellent soundtrack.

Watch Dogs: Legion offers a fun adventure with its new gameplay mechanic that allows building a team that best suits the player's style. The campaign starts majestically, but soon gets lost in the repetition of missions, and the villains have their potential wasted. With the exception of the storyline that did not meet expectations, Legion manages to establish itself as the best game in the franchise.
