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.

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.

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.

I honestly had a lot of fun with Metal Slug Attack Reloaded, despite the numerous frustrations caused by the remnants of the original release. However, I can't say it's an easy recommendation for everyone, given the heavy reliance on grind and RNG for progression, which can be a major downside for some players.

Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition has an interesting concept that may appeal to speedrun enthusiasts and more competitive players of the genre. However, the limited number of weekly online challenges and the small variety of offline challenges from certain games, such as the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2, may frustrate some players who don’t have a competitive inclination toward speedruns.

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.

It's a perfect combination of nostalgia and innovation, creating an experience that promises to please the fans and win over a new generation of players.

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.

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.

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.

With around 20 to 24 hours to complete the main story, and over 35 hours for 100%, recommending Sand Land becomes incredibly easy for long-time fans of Akira Toriyama's works, despite the misstep with Forest Land. Reviving Beelzebub's journey and learning more about this wonderful universe created by Master Toriyama was an immense pleasure, even with its flaws, which become more noticeable towards the end of the adventure.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is a game that managed to entertain me a lot, offering a good dose of challenge and relaxing moments. The magic of Super Monkey Ball lies in how laid-back the game is, allowing players to enjoy it in a spaced-out and casual way. In an era where big AAA games often span dozens of hours, demanding a greater commitment from players, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble offers a lighthearted approach, focused solely on fun.

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.

Despite featuring new graphics and beautiful facial expressions, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD fails to provide a strong enough reason for players who have already experienced Dark Moon or still own a Nintendo 3DS to return for the new Switch version. However, for new players, the remaster is a must-have title for Nintendo Switch owners, especially for those who enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 or haven't played Dark Moon on the 3DS.

Although there are some issues, such as a repetitive gameplay loop that can become tiresome towards the end, or smaller problems like certain environmental elements disappearing in front of you, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an excellent start for what could become one of Capcom's major franchises in the future, seamlessly blending two genres that previously seemed unlikely to work well together.

SNK vs Capcom SVC Chaos is definitely a must-play title for fighting game fans, given its significance to the genre over the years and everything the re-release of the title represents. While it may fall short in its online mode, the 36 selectable characters offer plenty of content in its arcade mode, appealing to both newcomers to fighting games and veterans who have followed the two companies for decades, like myself.

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.

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.

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.
