Assassin’s Creed Origins is, above all, a rebirth. It fixes old flaws, updates the gameplay to modern standards, and delivers an engaging story that finally gives depth to the creation of the Assassin’s Creed. Despite the repetitive side missions and the mandatory level grind, it’s a game that will reward those willing to dive headfirst into its proposal. Origins is not only a new beginning in the franchise’s chronology, but also a redemption for Ubisoft — and a gift to fans who were waiting for something great.

If language isn't a barrier for you, LA Noire is always a great choice on any platform. But if you have the chance, play it on the Switch, to be amazed at every scene and with every new feature found in the gameplay. A quality conversion, even if the price is a little high, and that will give you many hours of gameplay.

With clear inspirations from iconic survival horror games, such as Resident Evil and Clock Tower, Creeping Terror is an attempt to pay homage and rescue the old model of the genre in a more gentle way for new players, but it ends up sabotaging what it sets out to do. While the game is entirely based on chases, it gives the player enough resources to avoid going through them without much pressure. This destroys any tension created, making each encounter with Shovel Man become more silly and irrelevant. The immersion of the scenarios, the story and its characters is lost amid the standardization of situations and the ease of getting out of them.

In the end, you're left with a very nice game, with little to do. Fun at times, Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn't quite what fans were expecting, so it might be best to wait for a sale to buy it. Unless, of course, you're a huge fan of the series – in which case, enjoy!

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a solid game with engaging gameplay and one of the most creative systems of the generation — the Nemesis System. It may not appeal to those looking for a true-to-Tolkien narrative experience, but it is highly recommended for those who want an action game with challenging combat, satisfying progression, and plenty of content to explore.

BAD APPLE WARS is an interesting title for those who own a PlayStation Vita and like visual novels, but nothing more than that. Captivating and simple, its visuals and different system try to compensate for the lack of commitment to the narrative and development, which is not always the case. It probably won't please the most conservative fans of visual novels, since the Vita's touch system is not always 100% efficient and this can cause some annoyances for certain players. However, if you like eccentric characters and mysterious plots, you will certainly enjoy the title.

Eliosi’s Hunt is proof that Brazilian game development has the potential to create creative and challenging experiences. Despite its technical and narrative flaws, it is an honest and fun title, especially considering its affordable price. It is worth checking out for fans of isometric action and for those who value the national indie scene.

Absolver is an ambitious and original proposition, which relies on a technical and customizable combat system to stand out. Despite its mechanical merits and stylized art direction, the game lacks charisma, engaging narrative, and a more lively world. For hardcore fans of martial arts and tactical combat, there is fun to be found. For the general public, however, Absolver may seem more like a promising idea than a memorable title.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a sequel that does everything a good second game should do: it keeps what worked, expands the possibilities and improves the overall experience. With acidic humor, sharp satire and more robust mechanics, the title is a full plate for fans of the series and also for those looking for a light, yet creative and very well-written RPG. Despite a relatively short main campaign for the genre's standards, it is a journey that is worth every minute.

With an engaging narrative, solid gameplay, and stunning visuals, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a worthy addition to the series, although its short length and lack of innovation may be a concern for some players. Overall, the game delivers a well-produced and engaging experience, combined with impeccable execution.

Observer is a visually striking experience, with a well-constructed cyberpunk setting and a solid performance by Rutger Hauer. However, the fusion of psychological horror and futuristic aesthetics doesn't reach its full potential, resulting in a game that tries to be deep but ends up being forgettable. It's a title that may please fans of the cyberpunk genre due to its setting, but it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression.

Gundam Versus is a game tailor-made for fans of the franchise. With fast-paced gameplay, an impressive selection of Mobile Suits, and a clear respect for the anime's legacy, it delivers exactly what it promises: intense action, customization, and nostalgia in the form of combat. Although it lacks accessibility for new players and the performance of the online mode, its robust content and fidelity to the Gundam universe make this experience a full plate for giant robot enthusiasts.

Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition is a curious throwback to an important piece of video game history, but one that currently serves more as a museum piece than an entertainment product. For FMV fans or retro enthusiasts, there may be some value. For the general public, however, the game fails to justify its modern existence.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a title that divides opinions. Despite a rocky start and the absence of classic figures like the X-Men, the game manages to sustain itself thanks to its solid, innovative and fun gameplay. The Infinity Stone system brings freshness to the formula, and Capcom's cast shines with accurate choices. Still, it's hard to ignore the visual flaws and the feeling that the game was shaped more by the MCU's marketing than by the franchise's legacy. Ultimately, Infinite delivers a competent experience that can please both newcomers and fighting game veterans — even if with some reservations. For fans of the series, it's still worth checking out, especially if the focus is on the gameplay. But those looking for a complete package, with visual appeal and a nostalgic cast, may end up a little disappointed.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a must-play title for any Nintendo Switch owner, especially for those who enjoy strategy games, RPGs and, of course, the Mario universe. The mix of tactical gameplay and the fun characteristic of Nintendo and Ubisoft characters results in a fun, strategic and charming experience. The graphics, accessible gameplay and possibility of customization are some of the aspects that make the game a great option for long-time fans or for those looking for something new on the Switch.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a game with two facets: its extensive, sometimes confusing story, full of dialogues and references, and its fun and satisfying gameplay. If you are not the most patient, the excess of dialogues and information can leave you irritated, making the game boring. Otherwise, you will have a vast universe to explore, understand and theorize, in addition to the fun tactical RPG battles. Utawarerumono, a long name that can confuse the most distracted, means “that which is sung”. With Mask of Truth, the song finds its end... At least for now.

Hellblade's greatest achievement is that it treats a very sensitive subject with subtlety and respect, delivering an above-average action game that is extremely well-crafted in its details. Ultimately, the game is about Senua's struggle to overcome her illness. In the midst of all this, she learns to find the strength to move forward and accept her past. We follow Senua on her journey and go through the difficulties with her, and in some way, we understand a little bit what it's like to go through a problem that many in our world go through. Understanding, accepting, and helping is part of what makes us more human.

This new PS Vita exclusive has the only flaw of being accepted as mediocre, having great content that was little refined.

Destiny 2 is a sequel that does its job well: it maintains the winning formula of the first game and adds new features that help to refresh the experience. While it's not a revolution, the game offers a constant evolution that's more accessible to different types of players, with a focus on exploration and dynamic events. For those who have already played the first game, Destiny 2 offers a worthwhile experience, with many hours of content, even if it's not a game-changer. If you like FPS with RPG elements and a good dose of multiplayer, Destiny 2 is definitely a solid choice.
