Eternights impresses with its effort, especially considering it's developed by a small team. The game features voice acting in English, Japanese, and Korean, and it remains engaging until the end, despite some temporal inconsistencies. Should we overlook gameplay issues and simplicity because it's made by a single developer? Yes and no. While it's essential to note flaws if they hinder enjoyment, the game's development and its affordable price should also be considered. Focus on the enjoyable story. Eternights is available on PlayStation 5, utilizing the DualSense's unique vibrations, and on PlayStation 4.

Forty years have passed, but Super Bomberman R 2 doesn't honor this milestone well. Konami's latest effort for this historic brand is marred by unsatisfactory execution. A repetitive and flawed story mode is accompanied by a chaotic online component, hindered by glitches, lengthy load times, and a ranked mode rotation system. You might consider revisiting the 1983 original.

Payday 3 isn't a revolution, but an evolution, simplifying (but not reducing) a well-established concept. It's a lighter, more fluid tactical shooter, and a good starting point for future development. With an accessible price, especially on Game Pass, it's a good but imperfect experience.

Saying that The Crew Motorfest has finally found its identity by mimicking another series might seem absurd, but it's true. It feels like a Forza Horizon chapter in all but name. While not reaching Forza Horizon 5's excellence, it's a great alternative for PlayStation players seeking a similar racing arcade experience.

NBA 2K24 is a good game, perhaps the boldest in recent years in some respects. For those looking to play peacefully without much online competition, it offers a solid and enjoyable experience. However, multiplayer modes are complex and bogged down by features that complicate rather than balance the game, with micro-transactions creating high barriers. The overall experience is solid and nearly realistic. It could be a great first entry for newcomers, but may not offer enough new content to justify a purchase for veterans.

With Mortal Kombat 1, Ed Boon and NetherRealm Studios continue their steadfast path, delivering a solid and highly entertaining fighting game, regardless of skill level. The lavish story mode, enhanced by top-tier direction and production, is accompanied by familiar and thrilling gameplay. New elements like Kameo fighters and the Invasions mode shake things up, though the latter's seasonal nature raises future uncertainties. These uncertainties prevent the game from achieving full excellence, but Mortal Kombat 1 still loudly proclaims its desire to reach the fighting game Olympus.

While Firewall Ultra might have a bright future, as suggested by the franchise's initial success, its current state offers few justifications for its price. The limited game options and slow progression favoring microtransaction enthusiasts over casual players, along with the matchmaking issues and gameplay flaws, mean the development team needs to work hard to secure its future. The potential for fun is there, but it needs proper development.

I always try to be cautious when a game stands out so much that it brings a fresh breeze to the gaming landscape, but I have every reason to say that Chants of Sennaar is a must-play for puzzle adventure lovers. An instant classic with original and well-structured style, it keeps players glued for its 8-12 hour duration. Available for €19.99 on all platforms, including a demo, it's hard to find an excuse not to play it.

Starfield is a 100% Bethesda RPG whose only real flaw is being too anchored to past game design elements instead of looking forward. Despite some limitations, it's a vast game offering hundreds of hours of gameplay with well-established mechanics and a captivating narrative that keeps players engaged even beyond the credits.

Simplicity is at the core of Toss!, but that doesn't warrant criticism. Its intuitive gameplay and deliberately challenging level design make for a fun and rewarding puzzle/platformer, with a layered progression and various challenge modes suitable for all player types. It may make you sweat before floating back into the cosmos, but that's part of its charm.

As a fan of Daymare: 1998, I had high expectations for Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, which were tempered after the demo release. Unfortunately, the final version confirmed these doubts, with a poorly designed combat system and frustrating difficulty. Though there were improvements in the script and technical execution, the design choices prevent it from being the significant advancement expected. Hopefully, future installments will bring better joy, as the team has talent and clear ideas.

The renewed confidence in From Software has benefited Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, which stands as the most solid and convincing title in the series, thanks more to production budget than structural revision. While it smooths out some past creative rigidity, it remains faithful to the company's 26-year legacy, offering a solid and fun TPS where much enjoyment comes from meticulously tuning the exoskeleton. More accessible and, in some ways, simpler than its predecessors, it's not to be underestimated due to its brutal welcome. Once this challenge is overcome, it reveals a fun and long-lasting title, hopefully heralding a new era for this underrated Japanese gaming brand.

Team KO_OP has crafted an award-winning adventure combining musical and rhythm game elements with a narrative rich in choices and consequences. With 6-7 hours of engaging gameplay, multiple playthroughs unlock all trophies. Tested on PS5, utilizing DualSense's haptic feedback, it's also available on PS4. Highly recommended for an unforgettable story.
