Emboldened by the well deserved praise earned by its predecessor, Remnant 2 presents itself as both a refinement exercise and a sequel that dares take it deeper into its intertwixted worlds. Offering satisfying combat, 1st minute-ready buildcrafting systems and heavily improved looks thanks to the Unreal Engine 5 port, the game brainstorms some of the best action-RPG experiences you can find in 2023. It's not perfect though, as some really unique systems from the first game (say consumables for instance) have been but erased due to a disagreeable interest for scarcity: fun stuff is locked hard behind in-game currencies and it'll take you a long while to fill up your pockets. [Recommended]

Deconstructeam delivers once again. It is a story of the self, of the image we want to give and of the memory, but also of hate, worry or fear. All with such a firm hand when it comes to telling you a fantastic story with a lot of reality, and a hilarious deck-building system. [Recommended]

Although it is not revolutionary, RIDE 5 improves the key sections and rounds off its proposal: a large number of motorcycles and circuits, and great handling in a very accessible game [Recommended]

Baldur's Gate 3 is awesome. A superlative RPG that allows you play like you want it (almost) without limits. It missions design, story and graphics turn it in one of the best video games ever. [Recommended]

It’s undeniable that Red Dead Redemption remains as one of the best open world videogames ever, but this compilation of the game and Undead Nightmare for PS4 and Switch has nothing remarkable about it.

The pirate fantasy setting has allowed the studio to go wild with the crew's powers and abilities. You will not find a revolution in the formula, but there are enough additions to make it as or more interesting than its previous works. [Recommended]

Gord has achieved a great mix of classic and modern real-time strategy. Everything that unbalanced the genre based on massive unit building is countered here with unit limitation and a lot of scarce resources, stress systems and decisions to make. [Recommended]

Blasphemous 2 isn't interested in experimenting. It wants to do one thing, which is metroidvania action, and does it very well. While staying true to the formula, it does however take some room for innovative design within its own limits: worlds that guide the player without taking the fun out of exploring, a variety of pacing and as well as several RPG elements adding some little depth and customization to combat. Overall, it's an immersive journey through a grounded fantasy world with an unique aesthetic and very solid gameplay. A faithful (hah) sequel seeking to improve on every possible aspect [Recommended]

A brilliant sequel that definitely deserves the years we were waiting for it. [Recommended]

There's two ways to view Exoprimal. It can be one of these forgettable horde co-op games you've seen over and over again, or you can realize it's an imaginative game about fantasizing with power. It weaponizes its narrator and its engine to deliver dinosaurs in sheer numbers as a primal tool of power and genuine, unadulterated, nerdy fun. The worst part of it is it takes a painful while to do its magic, but oh boy does it do wonders afterwards. [Recommended]

Valiant tries to surprise with its crusade setting and multiplayer modes, but this squad-based RTS has serious narrative problems and a gameplay approach that doesn't feel fresh in any way. Its port to PS5 and Xbox is good, but is not the best video game to enjoy strategy on consoles [Not recommended]

His combat and role-playing strength are the best, without a doubt, of the set; without detracting from the mercenaries and their crazy personality. However, the issues underlying his combat, the hard-to-understand menus, and the difficulty of him all weigh heavily. Of course, from here, Haemimont Games can build a good rebirth for the saga.

A great collection for Sonic fans, but not the best possible.

It could have included more content, but still is a great choice for Lara Croft fans.

A visual novel adventure with lots of personality. For me, it is one of the surprises of this year. [Recommended]

A brilliant party proposal, but unfortunately it suffers a strong lack of content.

A poor HD remaster for two incredible and still enjoyable Gamecube classics.

Another great chapter with an interesting storyline, a magnificent art style and a funny new class to still enjoy with one of the best MMORPG actually.[Recommended]

An intriguing and sometimes terrifying adventure you will love if you are a fan of mystery novels or TV Series like Stranger Things.

This new version does not bring many changes, beyond adapting the controls to the new platforms as well as the resolution of its graphics, but it is enough to show why it was a mistake to ignore it at the time. [Recommended]

EA Sports PGA Tour is sinonim of quality when you are talking about golf simulators. And the last one is not the excepcion. [Recommended]

This beautiful JRPG has been a really good surprise. You can play it without knowing the previous games, and if you do it you're going to enjoy a great journey with funny battles and a really good exploration. [Recommended]

Despite its problems trying too hard to be a video game, Decarnation possesses a unique ability to tell a story that uses horror to address trauma, while also being captivating.

The remake modernizes, gives a little more accessibility and creates a more systemic work, always respecting the pillars of the original game and, above all, its great labyrinthine design in which you will have to constantly look at the map to avoid getting lost in its mazes full of enemies and secrets. [Recommended]

One of the best fighting games ever. Capcom has done magic with one of the most popular franchises in the world. [Recommended]

It has everything to be a must have for every League of Legends's fans, but finally is a big disappointment.

If you enjoyed Horizon: Forbidden West, you can't miss Burning Shores. Is impressive and very enjoyable. [Recommended]

The new video game of the creators of Genshin Impact is also its best game. [Recommended]

A curious life simulator with good ideas, but not much to offer you.

A very good port that brings the magic of Hogwarts Legacy to PS4 and Xbox One platforms. [Recommended]

Humanity is one of the most bizarre video games ever, but also is one of the better puzzle games in the last years [Recommended]

Diablo IV is all that you could wish for the return of the Diablo saga. Is a dark and brutal action RPG with tons of content and a surprising story. [Recommended]

If you are a The Lord of the Rings fan like me, I simply cannot recommend the game. Everything is packed into a standalone project, easily forgettable and unsatisfying to play. [Not recommended]

Planet of Lana is a charming mix of adventure, puzzle and platforming that remains consistently beautiful and inventive. [Recommended]

Breath of the Wild is one of the best video games ever. Tears of the kingdom is even better. [Recommended]

It's still difficult and with a lot of management and strategy, but there's also some of that danger and chaos of the original that's been lost in the journey. [Recommended]

Although Redfall has some bright ideas as a new IP, chances are we will never see them blossom into something worth our time: it's undoubtedly a flawed game by design and its genuine lack of polish casts it into the abyss of irrelevance and mediocrity. You might like some of its aspects if you really want to play it with your Game Pass subscription, but you almost definitely won't hold any memories of it after you finish its so-called "campaign".

The exploration and platforming is at the best level I've seen in a video game of this style, but in action and combat there is still much to polish, as the game covers too much and ends with a system that is not always accurate. [Recommended]

An upgraded version created for PS5 of the already excellent R-Type Final 2, one of the best side-scrolling shooters for the system that includes several innovations like new levels and modes.

An enjoyable experience for veteran users, but not for newbies.[Recommended]

Dead Island 2 is smarter than it looks, that knows how to narrate with its environment and use it to take down zombies in creative ways while building a solid level design. [Recommended]

One of the most enjoyable strategy experiences of the year [Recommended].

Not a bad game, but far less inspired for anyone looking for more of this universe, and I think it's time for Digixart to look for new ideas beyond the Petria frontier.

Everspace 2 departs from its predecessor to adhere to the Action RPG formula in the looter shooter style. Does it suit it well? No doubt it does. [Recommended]

You can keep working from the same base, because this base is so good that it achieves one of the best feelings of achievement and tension I've ever experienced in a video game, but we expect more for possible future chapters of this already iconic franchise. [Recommended]

One of the most enjoyable strategy games perfectly adapted to console. Anno 1800 works really well with a gamepad. Sadly, the game doesn't include the funny and brilliant DLCs of the PC version. [Recommended]

Not only does it pay homage to the 2005 classic very well, but it refines many situations and modernizes them to add more tension. One of the best remakes I've ever played, and also one of the best Resident Evil. [Recommended]

Bayonetta Origins is a wonderful surprise that is not only recommended for fans, but for gamers looking for an interesting and artistically brilliant adventure. [Recommended]

This RPG won’t change your life but its combat is fun and its setting is cool.

An amazing visual novel you have to play. [Recommended]

Satisfying and exciting motocross sim that holds the official license from the 2022 season of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship.

This game deserved a better port. The game is good, but it feels too much like a Wii game. It's too slow paced, but the heart of Fatal Frame is still there, so fans will enjoy it.

Both in terms of design and technically it is true that it is time for a change of generation, but Wo Long is a great farewell because it drinks just enough from Nioh (and Sekiro) to get its own identity. [Recommended]

A good story and main character doesn't compensate an irregular gameplay and progression. But it got me thrilled till the end.

Company of Heroes 3 is so intensive and spectacular, that it feels like an action game setting on WWII, but is a great strategy game with a strong story campaign in Africa and a new game mode with Total War style. [Recommended]

Is not perfect, but you must play it. Atomic Heart is a great action game with an amazing setting and funny gunplay. [Recommended]

Innovation is not the key feature in Octopath Traveler II, but it is still a great JRPG for fans of the genre. [Recommended]

Like A Dragon: Ishin! is the best opportunity to enjoy one of the most obscure deliveries that never reached our borders. [Recommended]

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the best way to start your PSVR 2 journey, as it takes full advantage of many of the features of the new hardware. [Recommended]

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is a good game, but I wish It could be less a 3DS game and more a 2023 game.

A true classic that returns to show us how great the old city builders games were. [Recommended]

Returnal was one of the best PS5 exclusive video games, so it is marvelous news to receive it on PC with this great port that works really well and looks amazing. [Recommended]

It’s a blessing that games like Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix are still being released these days. A very exciting and perfect-tuning version of the already excellent 2007 arcade rendition. [Recommended]

This sequel to the PS Vita game Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk it’s a compelling dungeon crawler RPG with lots of fully customizable characters and a huge labyrinth to explore.

A superb remaster that brings back one of the best shooter games ever created. [Recommended]

The wait has been worth it, and we are facing the definitive game that every Harry Potter fan would want. Hogwarts Legacy is not only a great video game, it is a work that looks in the face of movies and books of the saga. [Recommended]

A fun game with a lot from Mother 3 and The Legend of Zelda. It’s not a perfect game but it's worth your time.

I never thought that I could play Age of Empires 2 on console without problems. That Definitive Edition shows me how, and it's really fun. [Recommended]

A brilliant return for the classic Dead Space with a great remake that looks amazing, and feels really good with all new options. [Recommended]

Its atmosphere of gothic fairy tale and folk horror blend perfectly in this lost village of Victorian England and transmits to the player a sense of uneasiness that worsens throughout the game. [Recommended]

Hi-Fi Rush has turned out to be a real surprise. It does so by allying itself with rhythm to power up attacks, but also with a design that works both inside and outside of combat arenas. [Recommended]

The Williams have preferred to pay a faithful homage to the original design, and that makes it a very interesting historical piece, but also a missed opportunity to adapt the game to a current audience that will find friction and a certain lack of logic to its puzzles and mazes.

One Piece is back with a new adventure game created by ILCA and Bandai Namco, a classic JRPG with fun turn-based battles, good graphics and an interesting plot… but its gameplay is quite basic and straightforward.

A lovely and tiny open world to find joy with your friends.

With Knights of Honor II: Sovereign! a very strange feeling comes over me: rather than a sequel, it feels like a very conservative and limited remake of the original title, which came out in 2004. It has a good strategic foundation, but it's stuck in the past.

Darktide is an epic, spectacular and very funny co-op action game, but the lack of content and slow progress are its worst enemy. In the future, it could be one of the best Warhammer video games ever.

An underwhelming remake of the famous Data East arcade game Joe & Mac that only offers up a new graphical appeal (and it’s not that appealing) and a new soundtrack. [Not Recommended]

A more ambitious redesign is missing. Its portable game structure from fifteen years ago makes it limited as an RPG.

A brilliant strategy game that's also one of the best superhero games ever. [Recommended]

Fighting not only against terrifying creatures, but also against modern gaming trends, The Callisto Protocol is committed to doing fewer things, but doing them very well.[Recommended]

A heart-pumping third person shooter as linear and predictable as satisfying and fun to play from start to finish. Superb soundtrack. [Recommended]

It may entertain the fan, but it makes it clear that a complete overhaul of the formula is overdue.

Forspoken is a good idea that is unable to build the playable and narrative style to make it shine. We want to explore its world, but there's not much to do, nor does the story push you to do so. [Not Recommended]

Although the story is awful, the rest of the game is simply brilliant. [Recommended]

A great example about how to create a great port of console's game for PC. Spider-Man Miles Morales is funny and very spectacular, but it could be more awesome with some innovation and fresh ideas.

Even if you aren't a Doraemon fan, you should consider to try this splendid farm simulator game. [Recommended]

Goat Simulator 3 is fun and it looks like it was designed to be streamed.

WRC Generations is a good game that fans of motorsport will like. The game doesn't add great novelties, although it improves the physics of the cars, updates its catalog of vehicles and sections, and develops the multiplayer aspect with more options.

Took them long enough, but Game Freak finally delivered on their vision for an open world. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet know full well how to mix up exploration, combat and monster collection; and feature abnormally good stories. These start slow, but end up kicking like thunder. Definitely worth experiencing. [Recommended]

Somerville does not go as smoothly as we would like, with many transient moments and lack of rhythm, an irregular design and many flaws in the control and optimization that detract from the experience.

The third is not the best, but is still Yomawari and that is enough… most of the time.

Pentiment is absolutely focused on dialogue and a simple exploration, but with these ingredients alone it has managed to capture me thanks to the quantity and quality of the themes it deals with rarely seen in the video game industry. [Recommended]

An almost straight PS5 port of the same wonderful Action-RPG that premiered on PS Vita in 2016. [Recommended]

Harvestella is a fun mix of elements that will seduce you.

Tactics Ogre Reborn is the best option to play this awesome game.[Recommended]

An interesting survival horror with a nice atmosphere and an intriguing story.
