The Starfield expansion had a lot of potential, with a strong and intriguing start. However, it doesn't offer enough additions to be considered a true expansion. The inclusion of only one new planet and a few updates to equipment and weapons don't justify what could have been a simple update.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream marks a promising beginning for a new phase of games based on the light novel, featuring a well-structured mission system, incredibly fun gameplay, and a successful focus on multiplayer. While the plot indulges in fanservice and has some missteps, the characters' charm and the interactions between characters from different SAO eras give the title a special touch, making it almost indispensable for any fan of Reki Kawahara's story.

Until Dawn might be an interesting experience for those who didn’t have the chance to play it on PlayStation 4 or who want to experience the cutting-edge graphics of Unreal Engine 5, but beyond that, the remake has very little to add compared to the original. Not to mention, it needs some updates to fix its numerous performance issues and bugs.

The title is extremely captivating and fun for both children and adults. The game has the potential to keep you engaged, as none of its puzzles, bosses or missions drag on for too long. The player is always searching for and doing something new that will certainly be rewarding. The variety of Echoes and the different problem-solving possibilities also delight and make the experience even more fun.

God of War is definitely worth playing. I spent about 24 hours immersed in God Of War Ragnarök and, as I write this review, I can't wait to return to the Nine Realms and continue exploring its side activities. Additionally, I plan to venture further into Valhalla and simply enjoy the game even more. Everything God of War offers is masterfully done; it is interesting and provides a fun experience. Its technical side is excellent, and the PC version is of high quality.

Despite some flaws, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is an excellent remasterization that promises to revitalize the franchise after the missteps of Dead Rising 4, attracting a new legion of fans and giving hope to the long-time ones. The persistence of old problems such as NPC AI and a few rendering bugs due to the number of enemies on screen can be a bit bothersome, especially for those who didn't enjoy Dead Rising very much when it was originally released on the Xbox 360. Honestly, if you're one of those people, this remasterization won't change your opinion about the franchise. For long-time fans, it feels like reuniting with an old friend. A friend who may have some annoying flaws, but ultimately, a cherished friend who is a joy to see looking so good in this remaster.

Despite minor issues like glitches in Marvel vs Capcom 2, Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a must-have for fighting game fans, especially if you grew up playing in arcades or are a big fan of the Versus series. The collection also serves as an excellent gateway for new players to understand the foundation of several modern titles, like the origins of extremely popular mechanics such as air combos and double jumps that originated in the Versus series, making the title an excellent "time machine" that respects the legacy of the entire franchise and has the potential to catapult the franchise to new heights.

There is nothing like The Plucky Squire on the market. It is a unique experience that is well worth experiencing. Each chapter is a great surprise, capable of provoking laughter, enchanting with its creative puzzles or surprising with unique boss fights. The game is captivating, made with great care and is extremely rewarding, especially because it does not drag on too long. This makes it comforting and leaves you wanting more.

While some may find the campaign to be too short, the relentless action, extremely responsive gameplay, fluid combat and a gore system that would put many other franchises to shame, combined with a robust co-op mode and enjoyable PvP multiplayer, makes Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 one of the best games of 2024, and one of the best action games in recent years.

For those looking to get into the franchise, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is not the ideal title for that, but it's practically a must for long-time fans. The stories are good, just like the games were before Apollo Justice, which, in my opinion, marked a decline in writing quality since then. The good humor and the most eccentric characters possible are guaranteed in both games of the collection.

Visions of Mana is an easy recommendation for any fan of Japanese RPGs and Square-Enix games, serving as an excellent entry point into the series and a title that promises to carry the legacy of the Mana franchise to new heights. With enjoyable combat, stunning graphics and an exciting twist-filled story, Visions of Mana easily became one of my favorite games of the year.

Just like Deadpool & Wolverine was a great tribute to Fox's Marvel universe, Astro Bot is a great homage to PlayStation. Nostalgia hits hard at various moments, and I admit there were some moments of pure joy that took me back to my childhood. In short, Astro Bot is not a game for kids; it's a game for adults who haven't allowed themselves to abandon their inner child.

With an extremely interesting and unpredictable story, charismatic characters, highly detailed scenes, and an immersive soundtrack, Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club for the Nintendo Switch is a great entry point for those who have never experienced a visual novel before. Long-time fans of the franchise will also be well-served, as Emio maintains the quality already known to players, despite being a slightly longer title than previous games.

The Gentlebros, the developer behind the franchise, brings yet another incredibly fun game. For those with a light heart who aren't expecting a serious story, and especially for those who enjoy lighter and more fun combat, this title is definitely a hit and one of the most enjoyable pirate games I’ve ever played.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn ends up being a reflection of the saturation of Soulslike games in the industry. With an underdeveloped story, uninteresting characters, and no gameplay elements that make it stand out from the rest, Flintlock ends up getting lost and becoming completely forgettable.
