Gori: Cuddly Carnage is one of the most fun and laid-back titles I've played this year. Experiences like this put a smile on my face and remind me of the times when video games were just about having fun. The fact that the game is a hack 'n' slash also made it win my heart, since it's a genre that I love but is in a steady decline lately. Add that to the charismatic group of characters and a surprising story, and we have a solid game.

Astro Bot is a celebration of PlayStation history. With its ingenious level design, innovative use of DualSense functionality, and an abundance of charm and nostalgia, the game offers an experience that is both familiar and refreshing. Whether you’re a longtime PlayStation fan or new to gaming, Astro Bot is an unmissable adventure that showcases the best that PS5 has to offer. A strong contender for GOTY 2024.

Despite its fun factor, Concord makes mistakes in the basics of the hero shooter genre and is far from being a memorable game. Add to that Sony's poor strategy of charging for the game and you have the reason why it didn't do so well commercially. We'll wait and see what the future holds for Concord.

Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious addition to the action RPG genre, offering a visually stunning interpretation of Chinese mythology (and for monkey fans, too). While it presents technical and design challenges that may affect the player experience, its intense combat, rich setting, and faithfulness to the literary source material provide an engaging journey for those willing to take on its challenges. For players who enjoy deep storytelling and challenging combat, Black Myth: Wukong offers a unique experience worth exploring.

Kunitsu-Gami was a pleasant surprise. The combination of tower defense and action is innovative and fun. The art is certainly the highlight and will stay with you long after you finish the game. Capcom got it right, and I hope this is just the beginning of a new experimental era for the company.

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder could be just another metroidvania, but it goes much further than that. It manages to maintain solid gameplay tied to an intriguing story. Highly recommended.

It's a fast-paced, action-packed game, but unfortunately it suffers from repetitiveness. Despite this, it's still a highly recommended game!

Assassin’s Creed Mirage achieved what it wanted: to appeal to the nostalgia of the first title in the franchise. Linearity, focus on stealth, a more closed map and a shorter campaign, all refer to the first game. However, just like back in 2007, it lacked more care and polish. The experience will certainly please those who miss the old vibe of the franchise, but it may not be a very memorable experience.

With the exclusivity now over, everyone can enjoy the game. It's a great entry point for those unfamiliar with the series and who prefer a more paced, turn-based game. I hope that this way Monster Hunter will gain even more fans.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion that not only complements the base game, but also elevates the experience to new heights. With a deep narrative, innovative gameplay mechanics, and a richly detailed world, the expansion offers players an unforgettable journey through the Shadowlands. If you love challenges and exploration in dark and mysterious worlds, this expansion is a must-have addition to your gaming library and for fans of soulslike games.

RKGK / Rakugaki, in the end, is a good game, but nothing much more than that. It needed to take more risks to make RKGK a true standout among games of the genre, despite the positive experience. But it was a good start for the Mexican studio's debut.

The Hungry Lamb delivers a solid narrative with well-developed characters and excellent voice acting. The themes are historically accurate, showcasing the developers' knowledge and love for their country's history. However, it's clear that this visual novel may not be for everyone, as it contains themes like cannibalism, human trafficking, and even a child-adult flirtation scene – something entirely unnecessary. That said, the story is good, but if you're interested, proceed with caution and keep the heavy themes in mind.

I can finally say it: Forza Horizon has competition, and serious competition at that. The Crew Motorfest came in strong, offering an amazing map paired with highly satisfying gameplay and excellent visual presentation. Ivory Tower has finally hit the sweet spot for its franchise, and I sincerely hope they continue on this path, as the future of The Crew looks incredibly bright.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a well-deserved and worthy sequel. Ninja Theory has delivered a spectacular narrative, just like its predecessor, along with cutting-edge technical quality, featuring otherworldly graphics and an incredible Nordic-inspired soundtrack. I did miss more gameplay moments, with greater combat depth and a few more puzzles, as in the first game, but these points don’t detract from how amazing Hellblade II is.

Mullet MadJack is, without a doubt, the best experience I've had in 2024 up until the moment I'm writing this review. I already knew I could expect good things from the game, since frenetic boomer shooters are a type of game I love passionately, but I didn't expect it to click so well with me. Its criticisms of the system, the retrowave aesthetic with anime influences, and the synthwave soundtrack fit together masterfully, creating an incredible experience that you don't see every day. Now, I want a mullet.

Dying Light 2 is clearly inferior to its predecessor. Its story fails to excite, with disappointing characters and a soulless, depressing city that stands in stark contrast to Harran from Dying Light 1. However, the game excels brilliantly in gameplay, being even more enjoyable and fluid than the first, both in parkour and combat. For those seeking a deep post-apocalyptic experience, it’s important to note that this won’t be found here, but it’s still possible to have fun.

Firewatch is a masterpiece in the walking simulator genre and is a must-try for anyone looking for something more introspective. If you're going to give it a try, get ready for it to be added to your best games list.

Everyone has their own controversial opinion, and this is mine! Yes, Miles Morales is better than the original! Despite being shorter than the first Spider-Man and obviously having less content, Miles Morales offers a more concise experience, taking full advantage of everything it has to offer. One of the best hero games I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
