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.

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.

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.

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.

7.4 / 10.0 - Until Dawn (2024)
Oct 5, 2024

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.

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.

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.

Overall, believing that Vessel Of Hatred is a very important step for the title as a whole, bringing a solid campaign, excellent new features and many quality of life improvements, it is difficult not to recommend this expansion to fans of the title.

8.2 / 10.0 - New World: Aeternum
Oct 15, 2024

New World: Aeternum is an MMORPG with an engaging storyline, highly enjoyable combat mechanics, a versatile class system, and a robust crafting system that encourages exploration. Thanks to its solid gameplay foundation, we can say this relaunch is a rough diamond, that if polished correctly, has the potential to rival the biggest MMOs on the market.

8.8 / 10.0 - Neva
Oct 15, 2024

Neva is a fable about growth, friendship, and the cycle of life. The friendship between the protagonists is touching and will surely bring the player to tears in this beautiful game. The story has a twist that isn't one of my favorites, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a very meaningful experience, despite being short, and one that everyone should give a chance.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is definitively Atlus Magnum Opus, bringing a new, extremely rich fantasy world, with unparalleled world-building and art direction, a thrilling story full of charismatic and very well-written characters. Along with that, the combat system is a natural evolution of what we've seen in Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, adding a new class system and real-time combat system, all drenched in the marvelous soundtrack composed by Shoji Meguro. Metaphor: ReFantazio can be considered Atlus 'greatest hits', bringing everything fans loved in their games in a single package, taking them to the next level and making Atlus and Studio ZERO a strong contender for the crown as the new RPG King.

Overall, the biggest problem with Unknown 9: Awakening is that it tries to be bigger than its technical limitations—and budget—allow. While it genuinely tries to tell a good story, several small missteps end up getting in the way. The universe is solid, but it may be hindered by a mediocre game filled with performance issues.

For fans of the A Quiet Place franchise and horror game enthusiasts, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is an experience worth checking out. While the story is relatively simple, the constant tension and gameplay focused on silence are engaging and deliver a solid dose of adrenaline. The affordable price also makes it an appealing option for those looking for an alternative to more expensive AAA titles.

9.8 / 10.0 - Silent Hill 2
Oct 21, 2024

Silent Hill 2 (2024) is a remarkable title, both in its original version and in the remake. This remake by Bloober Team brings a renewed experience in all aspects, which certainly adds a lot when it comes to telling the story. The gameplay has also been updated and is fun, although combat is more frequent than it should be. But overall, the experience is excellent and stands out as one of the best survival horrors of the generation.

The Lake House brings a satisfying conclusion to Remedy's Alan Wake 2 saga, offering an engaging story that blends elements of Control with Alan Wake 2's gameplay. While not without its flaws, particularly in its puzzle design, The Lake House is an essential piece of the overall Remedyverse narrative and a must-play for fans of Alan Wake 2 and other Remedy franchises.

Just Dance stands out as a successful franchise in family entertainment, offering extremely fun dance sessions. The game is technically well-executed and its choice of target audience is spot on. Although I initially had difficulty understanding its concept, as I do not fit the typical player profile, looking at it from a fan’s perspective, I realized that Just Dance truly achieves its goal of providing fun and creating quality moments with friends. If you belong to this audience, the 2025 version will certainly delight you; otherwise, it might not be the ideal game for you. Still, it's a great option for those who enjoy having fun dancing.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is an excellent party game, offering game modes for up to 20 simultaneous players and 110 extremely varied and fun minigames, making it the perfect game to gather friends on the couch. Although some game modes may become repetitive, the attempt to bring different game modes, even considering a single-player mode, deserves recognition.

I highly recommend this title to fans of the series and new players alike!
