No, Alone in the Dark doesn't replicate the success of the first chapter of the franchise, but it's more convincing than recent experiments tied to this historic brand. With an excellent atmosphere and reflective, old-school gameplay, it falters with an inconsistent action component. The two campaigns are too similar to be fully convincing. Recommended for those seeking a classic, less frantic survival horror.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story isn't a video game in the true sense but aims to be an interactive documentary. It effectively shifts from simple information to the exciting possibility of testing what’s just been explained. It's an exhaustive look at Jeff's career and highly recommended if you feel an irresistible urge to shoot a camel.

There's not much more to add about Cat and Ghostly Road except that it's a missed opportunity. Narratively and artistically, BOV's work is solid, but it's marred by gameplay situations that make progression less enjoyable.

I don't claim to hold the truth, but if you're fundamentally opposed to how Square Enix has handled this remake trilogy, this review won’t change your mind about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. However, I believe it’s a shame and unfair to Nomura and the team, who've delivered a compelling RPG experience. Despite technical flaws, the game offers dynamic combat and varied structure, making it one of the most beautiful and engaging Final Fantasy games.

You won’t pull out Operation Serpens to impress friends with its technical prowess. It’s a simple, unpretentious shooter developed almost four years ago, offering a distraction that quickly fades. It’s only for those seeking a carefree experience or to top global leaderboards.

Persona 3 Reload is the best way to relive the third chapter of Atlus' saga, despite narrative gaps that might be filled with future DLCs. The alignment with Persona 5 Royal has made it a pleasant and fun experience, with excellent art and music.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters has many good ideas, but they're poorly executed. Despite solid mechanics, Complex Games' production is unbalanced, with difficulty that can frustrate even the most patient players. The constant waves of Chaos servants clash with the lore, and the repetitive missions and grinding make it an enormous missed opportunity.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a perfect example of how to and how not to remaster a classic. Visually, Aspyr's work is commendable, but gameplay-wise, little has been done to modernize the original trilogy. This collection is only for nostalgia seekers, as younger players will likely struggle to enjoy it.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden shows the need for productions that don't add unnecessary A's to their value. Red and Antea's adventure offers a long and complex experience, combining Don't Nod's narrative skill with fun gameplay. Despite minor imperfections, it's a worthy buy, being one of the biggest surprises of 2024.

Helldivers 2, despite some short-lived technical and content limitations, is a fun, tactical, and carefree game with a community-based mission approach. With a low price, solid gameplay mechanics, and team-oriented vision, it's one of the best co-op games on the market.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth features the weakest narrative in the Yakuza series but offers the most extensive gameplay experience, filled with activities. While the writing disappoints, the numerous mini-games and activities make it worth playing. Ignoring this adventure would be a mistake.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is mediocre and another unnecessary game-as-a-service. The interesting narrative premise is ruined by poor writing and annoying characters. The solid gunplay falls apart due to repetitive gameplay. It's a major disappointment from Rocksteady.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a delight for action RPG fans, rich in story, gameplay, and details. A demo is available to try the start of the second chapter and engage in online battles, giving a good idea of the game's value. Despite February being packed with major RPG releases like Persona 3 Reload and the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Granblue Fantasy: Relink holds its own. This debut adventure from Cygames doesn't fall short compared to other sensational series. Give it a try!

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash could have pleased fans, but it falls short. Despite the quality of the anime and manga, the game is technically lacking. It feels rushed or unfinished, with uninspired text-based menus and a poorly implemented UI. The gameplay tries to do too much and fails to deliver, with online four-player battles often feeling random and frustrating due to unreasonable lag. Steam reviews reflect a mixed reception, with only 56% positive. Even the story mode is underwhelming, lacking 3D environments and relying on static text and images from the anime. A wasted potential.

Tekken 8 was worth the wait, delivering a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Fun to play and visually appealing, it’s one of the most complete and enjoyable 3D fighters on the market. Just a few netcode improvements are needed for perfection.

Silent Hill: The Short Message is a must for Konami fans. This free spin-off fits well into the series' lore with a mature, heart-wrenching story. Hexadrive's short yet impactful experience shows there's still much to explore in the fog. And it's free!
