Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a revitalization of the franchise, featuring an engaging narrative set in 1937, where Indy faces off against Nazis to protect the mystical artifact known as the Great Circle.

Despite shortcomings in melee combat, the first-person perspective and stealth mode stand out. Available on Game Pass, it’s a must-play experience for adventure fans.

9 / 10.0 - Marvel Rivals
Dec 22, 2024

Marvel Rivals is a competitive third-person multiplayer hero-shooter that impresses with its initial roster of 33 characters, unique collaboration mechanics, and stunning visuals. Despite the lack of role-based queues, the game offers dynamic 6v6 matches and interactive environments. Its monetization is based on skins and battle passes, without impacting gameplay. With strong numbers on Steam and planned updates, the title shows potential to build a solid fanbase of both casual and competitive players.

Although it caters to the desires of many fans and is a perfectly playable remaster that offers a very positive overall experience, the modernizations are quite modest, and many of the original issues persist. The bonus content is a welcome addition, but it falls short of being as accessible as it should be.

FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is the ultimate RPG by Hironobu Sakaguchi, thanks to its emotionally compelling and well-told story, captivating characters, creative and unique combat mechanics, and, of course, a wonderful soundtrack composed by Nobuo Uematsu. It is impossible not to recommend FANTASIAN Neo Dimension to any fan of the genre, as it is a must-play title for those who long for more classic JRPGs.

Despite the technical challenges, STALKER 2 won me over with its atmosphere and engaging RPG mechanics. The game delivers a unique experience by combining exploration, intense combat, and impactful decisions in a dense and immersive setting: the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership delivers everything fans expect from a new game in the franchise: a solid use of the dynamic between the two brothers in its combat and exploration systems. Unfortunately, Mario & Luigi: Brothership falters by overextending itself, stretching its story beyond what's necessary with unnecessarily long dialogues and secondary content that, overall, does not significantly enhance the player experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Planet Coaster 2
Nov 16, 2024

Planet Coaster 2 is an excellent evolution of the first game in every aspect and still has plenty of room to grow over the years as more content and updates are released. However, it still suffers from some minor design mistakes and frustrating choices regarding guests complaints.

Lego Horizon Adventure is a fun game to enjoy with a friend, but it quickly becomes tiresome when played solo. Additionally, it missed the opportunity to make better use of the franchise’s storyline and is filled with silly, unfunny jokes, even for its target audience.

Even with some missteps and controversial design choices inspired by Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard paves the way for a triumphant return for BioWare, delivering the studio's best-written final act and one of the best in the entire industry. The main flaws lie in a few tedious moments in the early hours and an unnecessary amount of side quests that bloat the game.

8 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 25
Nov 4, 2024

EA SPORTS FC 25 brings tactical and visual improvements, delivering smoother gameplay and more intelligent artificial intelligence. Graphics are even more realistic thanks to Hypermotion, and the new "Rush Mode" guarantees fast-paced and strategic matches. Ultimate Team and Career Mode have also evolved, including major women's football leagues. For die-hard fans, it's worth the investment, but more casual players may prefer to wait for a sale.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is an excellent option for those who haven't yet experienced the game, allowing them to enjoy it in its best version, and also for fans who want to relive Aloy's first adventure with a relatively affordable upgrade. However, aside from graphical improvements and enhanced NPC movement, it doesn't bring anything new, keeping practically the same strengths and issues as the original game.
