A quick run'n gun that manages to blend different genres in a fun and stylish way, but the short duration of the game limits its potential.

Your House is an indie game that focuses on narrative and creative puzzles instead of frantic action or realistic graphics. With an ambitious approach to turning reading into gameplay, it blends mystery, comic book aesthetics, and clever challenges into an interactive experience. The story of the rebellious Debbie in a mansion full of secrets is captivating, and the puzzles require attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking. Despite its short duration and some occasional bugs, it's a game worth playing for those who enjoy unconventional experiences.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a great game—everything that every fan of the franchise has always imagined. With refined combat, breathtaking scenery, captivating characters, and a simple yet very effective storyline, Shadows is undoubtedly an outstanding game. It brings the Japanese setting to life in an excellent way, and I am sure it will earn its place among Ubisoft's greatest games.

Two Point Museum is a really fun game with spot-on humor, reminding me of the older The Sims titles. It has some very interesting mechanics for the Tycoon genre and can keep you hooked for hours. As usual for the franchise, the game will likely receive many themed DLCs, as the museum concept offers great possibilities for expansions.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the ultimate evolution of the Monster Hunter franchise formula, mixing everything that worked in previous titles and taking it to the next level. It delivers a great story, extremely fun combat mechanics enhanced by the new weather system, a new layer of complexity thanks to the addition of the Focus Mode, beautiful graphics, and most importantly, it maintains the addictive gameplay loop that only the Monster Hunter franchise can provide.

The work done by Aspyr for the old Tomb Raiders is impeccable. The only downside is that, as they advanced in technical aspects, they ended up with the less interesting titles from the first wave of the franchise, which is not their fault, but rather a result of the original design of these games. For those who are true Tomb Raider fans and have the patience for the controls of these games, it’s still an unmissable trilogy to relive the nostalgia, even though they are not as good as the first three.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII succeeds in bringing a more accessible 4X experience for new players by simplifying some core mechanics that previously pushed away many newcomers to the genre. However, the new era system has brought with it a series of issues for campaign progression, making them repetitive and overshadowing the other positive aspects of the game.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an excellent game for those who have never played the franchise and want to enjoy a pirate adventure, and it's also great for long-time fans. It's fun, with one of the best gameplay experiences in a game of this theme and within the franchise itself. Goro Majima finally gets his well-deserved spotlight once again in the Yakuza series, and I hope he doesn't get sidelined again.

Avowed is a game with an expansive universe and an engaging story, complemented by solid gameplay and rich exploration. However, it fails to deliver overly simplified mechanics and an unbalanced difficulty curve, which undermines the depth of the experience.

With an artistic style and writing of excellent quality, fans of detective fiction and visual novels in general won't be disappointed with the delivered result. However, the game falls slightly short of reaching new fans of the genre by staying in its comfort zone when it comes to pacing and interactivity.

The highly anticipated sequel of the neighborhood hero delivers excellent gameplay and a very fun story, even with some missteps. The PC version fell short of expectations at launch, and an improvement is urgently needed.

Synduality: Echo of Ada is a bold bet from Bandai Namco, bringing good ideas and a promising foundation, but it still lacks refinement. The gameplay and PvPvE combat are the highlights, but the various issues the game has significantly hinder the overall experience.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is the definitive version of the Xbox 360 classic, delivering the frantic and brutal gameplay of its original release with beautifully updated graphics and stable performance. Although it inherits some issues from the original release and introduces a few new ones, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is the ultimate version of Koei Tecmo's great classic, revitalizing one of the best hack'n slash games of all time.
