When Gollum was announced, it sparked immense curiosity about a game with scenes unseen in Middle-earth and his journey through Mordor even has interesting scenes. It's a shame that most of your time it's just boring or that it leaves you feeling like you're better off playing something else that does everything you want to do here.

But at the same time it introduces with the Drive system a series of nuances and mechanics that enhance the strategy within the classic system, which will tell so much to veterans. Reinforced in the online component and more formative, it is the most friendly and simultaneously challenging Street Fighter. It injects new blood into an innovative, refreshing combat system that is at the same time endowed with the subtleties that make mastering a fighting game demanding.

Miasma Chronicles was my first experience of the workings of this studio, somewhat a disappointment after learning how good Mutant Year Zero was. It is a fact that it has its moments, but they are insufficient to convince and highlight it as a way of walking in the improvement that has already been achieved. If you like these games you will have an interesting challenge here, but be aware of the gaps evident in several fundamental points.

WWE 2K23 marks the return of the series to the annual format. Although this delivery was better than the previous year's, there was scope for more significant improvements with extra development time. The new formula is solid, as the previous game had already proved. But for those who acquired WWE 2K22, this year's proposal may not have enough arguments to justify the price of a new game. There are small improvements here and there. The Tag Teams fight together in the Royal Rumble, which makes sense. War Games mode was included. But overall, it feels more like an update and not something new. It's a problem that cuts across all the annual games.

To the large size of the campaign and an exploration based on three layers or dimensions of Hyrule, there is an immense creative power, capable of modifying the experience, always with the puzzles in sight, the mental gymnastics supported by beautiful melodies, a refined language and a remarkable artistic dimension. Again called upon to return peace to Hyrule, Link comes close to the gods.

The concept, as I said at the beginning of the text, has potential. There is no game on the market to unite the concept of vampire slayers with a looter shooter. It remains to be seen whether Arkane Austin will be able to reverse the sorry state of the game through successive updates. It would have been better to have released Redfall as an early access game, because that's what it sounds like. An embryonic idea, with many loose ends, in which the game systems do not work in unison.

Ravenlok is one of those games to play and simply feel happiness, with a strong dose of comfort conveyed by its charm. It's not difficult, it doesn't last long and it doesn't try to "mellow" you with artificial things to last longer, it chooses to uncomplicate and make the journey its greatest asset. With a lovely story and immense charm, it strikes the balance of the overall experience and its focus on entertaining the player.

Dredge is a clever game with a lot of ingenuity in the way it is able to surprise and grab the player. Afloat, it's a fishing and management game with a gameplay cycle that conquers frictionlessly, but it's when you dive into its waters that you can no longer escape its bait. The cosmic horror that ties the entire narrative together will make you as obsessed with figuring out what's going on here as much as the gameplay to improve the boat.

It is impossible to recommend the PC version at this time, which was precisely the version we had access to. We'll be keeping an eye out for updates until launch. If performance improves, we will update this review. It's a shame to see a game of this caliber compromised by technical issues. Other than that, Jedi Survivor, like the previous one, has all the ingredients to make fans of the saga delirious. Although it doesn't do anything transcendent (it's a safe sequel), it gets almost everything right.

This is another example of a team that intends to honor classics of yesteryear, but with its own ideas. In a sea of metroidvanias, the electromagnetic powers and the solidity of the gameplay to allow a difficulty that you can respect, help to validate Teslagrad 2 as a strong indie proposal.

There is not much more to say about Burning Shores, it is a content with interest, worth above all for the visual spectacle that Guerrilla Games once again managed to deliver and the new gameplay possibilities. Its narrative is somewhat forced, with somewhat debatable revelations and even a lost form in the relationships between characters. I would appreciate more depth so that I cared more about the choices introduced. It's obviously imperative for anyone who loved Forbidden West.

In essence both Advance Wars have aged well. While the original remains a few holes above the Black Hole sequel, while this remake doesn't make major changes to the game's mechanics and epicenter, it did make it more enjoyable in some ways, especially in the compelling presentation of the original art and the commanders who control the operations, energetic and vibrant in encouraging the troops. It is a remake also more garnished in game modes. If for many fans of Advance Wars this return coincides with a challenge lost in time (and if they passed the version for Wii U), for those who have not played the originals there are two good arguments to do so.

That's the feeling that lingers in the end. The dismemberment system is fun; The combat works, even if it becomes repetitive. If played in cooperative mode, it's funnier. For the rest, Dead Island 2 doesn't have much to offer. History is disposable. The map and exploration design is old-fashioned. Technically, it's not a current-generation game. I give credit to Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver for making the effort to finish the game, but for a title that was almost 9 years in development, more was expected. If you like zombies, it can be interesting in an eventual price drop.

Minecraft Legends is an interesting effort by Mojang to expand the experiences created in this universe. With the help of Blackbird Interactive, they created a hybrid of action and strategy that on paper had everything to work out, but unfortunately it's a shallow game that quickly loses its luster. It is too simple for the biggest lovers of strategy, it does not have enough interesting action elements to become exciting in the medium and long term. I would say that only the little ones, or parents who want to play with their children, will be able to enjoy Minecraft Legends.

PGA Tour is a beautiful golf game, rich in content and dedicated to simulation, based on a gradual progression, based on an interesting system of accumulation of experience prior to the biggest tournaments. The capture of movements, swing and other possibilities of contact with the courses is quite realistic and the whole environment can impress by the details and degree of polish, not lacking very assertive comments and in reaction to your performance. There are still edges that can be cleaned up and certain tweaks can make the experience better. It's a good return by EA Sports to the world of golf, with licenses and tournaments to keep the community on par with the majors.

The Mageseeker is a simple but fun game. Despite taking an existing experience, it manages to satiate the desire to know more of this universe through relatively accessible experiences. Whether you're a LoL fan who wants to see Sylas' story explored in a game of their own, or just a fan of Action RPG pixel art, it's a proposal capable of reaching good times, even if it doesn't reach the level of the biggest indie references.

Despite the improvements and news but also some defects and edges still to be cleared, especially from a technical point of view, this sixth edition of AMA Supercross will make more difference for those who have not played any of the previous editions. If you still have the fifth edition around, the changes are not of great importance, so it will make more sense to wait for a next edition.

Too bad even the technical problems reported, this conversion deserved a very different release, it should be the culmination of the franchise and a launching pad for its third chapter. It is somewhat strange that it has been released in this state, it is curious to know what happened. Removing this great obstacle, The Last of Us Part I PC remains a must-see for those who have never played the original and even for those who have not yet made the leap to this remake. But at this point, I recommend waiting for the updates promised by Naughty Dog.

MLB: The Show 23 is a game of continuity, with immense inherited from last year's edition, accompanied by refinements that will be appreciated only by the most dedicated and after long hours on the field. The story mode focused on the Negro Leagues deserves praise and the adjustments made to streamline the gameplay as well, make things better than in last year's edition, even if everything seems too equal.

In Destiny's great history of expansions, there are several examples of better deliverables. Lightfall isn't the worst of them, but it's the weakest in years.
