Knack II is a better game than its predecessor; it has improved gameplay mechanics, nice additions and some corrections that were needed from the previous game. However, it still suffers from many flaws that were present in the past - like little challenge, absurd story or linear levels - that tarnishes most of its improvements. It is fun to play but an inconsequential experience.

It's definitely a fun game with its LEGO-like mechanics and level of humor, but with all the big releases coming up, I don't think it's going to stand out too much. I'd recommend checking it out, but maybe after there's a price reduction, since it'll be $60 USD on its first day of release.

There’s nothing new in Last Round that you haven’t seen by now in the previous versions of DoA 5, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the constant problems that prevail in the online mode are something that will make the experience of playing it something really frustrating. It’s really a shame that a really important aspect like this still suffers after the two really good attempts that were Dead or Alive 5 and Ultimate.

Star Wars: Battlefront has great potential, but its lack of content certainly lowers the experience. Fans might forgive this but we know that at least for now the game is still just a demo.

It's really nice to see that, finally, SEGA decided to localize one of the fighting games from Blade Arcus from Shining; that's something that hardcore fans from the series will thank. However, that doesn't help the fact that the game seems a little lackluster when compared with other great fighting franchises. It is a really good fighting title, but one that will be enjoyed, mostly, by the followers from the original RPG series.

If you didn't have a good time playing the games at the time, I doubt Teal Mask will change your mind, as there are no major graphical or performance improvements.

Mr. Driller Drillland is an entertaining puzzle for both casual and expert. The only bad thing is that it's a really short game.

Oninaki is a compelling game, the art style is the best from Tokyo RPG factory yet. Its story is dense, as the studio uses to, but it has its mishaps when delivering said story. The change of pace in the combat serves it well, but unfortunately the complex system renders useless once you get to the higher levels. It goes from a strategy based combat to a mindless button masher. But nevertheless, one you could enjoy.

Unfortunately, Scott Pilgrim EX is too simplistic. While Tribute Games clearly aimed to create an experience worthy of the Super Nintendo, their approach to the world falls short, and a more traditional structure with linear levels would have worked better. It's not the studio's worst work, but with so many outstanding games, one had to be at the bottom of the list, and it's rather sad that this is the case for Scott and Ramona's latest adventure.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT its a really chaotic and entertaining combat game. Albeit it has notorious flaws like reduced and limited game modes, fluctuating online performance and kinda broken gameplay physics and mechanics, its a game that will fascinate all those players that give it a chance and, especially those who are fans of the Final Fantasy series.

Doraemon Story of Seasons offers a relaxing experience that develops fully at your own pace and is more about creating memories and savoring the experience, instead of a day to day so you can build your farm.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered reintroduces this iconic RPG from the 90's to the present, accompanied by beautiful graphics that will stand the test of time. However, the original problems with the gameplay continued in this version.

If you're looking for a full remake, you'll have to wait longer, as it's only a high-definition update. They're good games, but they don't have many improvements.

Wonder Boy - Asha in Monster World is a pretty decent remake for one of the most beloved Sega Mega Drive's games. A must have to all Wonder Boy fans out there.

I would not recommend making your purchase instantly, because in its first days it costs $60 USD, and the truth is, it is not worth it no matter how much it has decent elements. If you want to try Alone in The Dark, I suggest waiting for a discount after a few months or just being patient in case by some miracle they add it to Game Pass.

A good enough RPG for mobile platforms. But not enough for a Final Fantasy game.

The risks within this industry are being calculated more carefully than ever. Major publishers are simply no longer willing to lose millions of dollars in favor of innovation, which, of course, will have a significant impact when it comes to creativity and proposition, terms that will likely become exclusive to the indie scene. Proof of all this are games like Mafia: The Old Country, which was created to be commercially successful rather than to propel the series it belongs to toward greater and better things. 2K Games and Hangar 13 laid out a checklist of what could cause them problems and what was sure to fall flat, resulting in a game that overall feels good, but which I feel will be completely forgotten in a very short period of time.

Judgment is the best episode so far. The narrative and gameplay mechanics are varied enough and highly satisfying. More puzzles and locations are packed in this chapter, making the gameplay challenging and giving a different experience from what we've tried so far.

This installment of Saints Row delivers on the fun factor, but it's not quite the groundbreaking change what the fans of the franchise might expect, so we'll see what happens in the next chapter. An entertaining way to kill time while great open world proposals like Zelda: Breath of The Wild 2 or GTA VI itself arrive.

I'm not sure if this sequel was necessary, but if it's positive or negative, it's already here. Although there's many things that are similar in quality and that I enjoyed the same way as in Far Cry 5, this game is not as good. But it's not as bad as the three DLC from last year.

Despite having a frustrating combat system, #Scorn manages to be an extremely interesting horror game that should be given at least one chance. The result may be mixed, but the experience is unique.

Yooka-Laylee is a good classic 3D platformer which is better in its first hours and levels when you are discovering the wide array of activities and challenges that you have in this retro colectathon. The rest of the time you can suffer with some weak design decisions to prolong the time required to complete the game.

A pretty good remastered compilation of Mega Man 7, 8, 9 and 10. Great visuals and audio, and some extras like the challenge mode that makes Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 a nice addition to the collection of all Mega Man fans.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a pretty solid product but very rough around the edges at the time. It may be a simple expansion for MSFS 2020, but a great career mode saves the day.

SNK Heroines is an enjoyable fighting game that, though many will criticize for its more casual approach, offers an interesting and fun experience. The only issue is its lack of content: from game modes to character roster and scenarios. Its impossible to not look at it as an incomplete title with entertaining gameplay mechanics.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a decent platformer, it's not great, but it's not the biggest disaster ever either. It comes at a time when platformers are a bit scarce, or at least if we talk about medium or large productions in the industry.

Code Vein is a pretty good clone of Dark Souls, but it's own ideas, dose not work that well.

Destruction AllStars is a game with good ideas that, sadly, lacks enough content to warrant a constant return to this title.

We still miss the Showcase mode and is a flawed game compared to the best sports games in the market, but it's the best edition in the series recently.

Evolve challenges every kind of player and tries to remind us how important and fun playing co-op in video games can be. It also helps us move on from the single player scenario thanks to the online mode. Gather your friends, build your team and get ready for a hunt. Try to survive as long as you can.

If you've never played the original game, I'd recommend giving it a try just to learn more about this beloved icon from the era of video game mascots. Ultimately, if you're not too bothered by the music, you might enjoy it.

It can be difficult to recommend Detective Pikachu Returns, unless you are a Pokémon fan who buys absolutely everything they put in front of them. On the other hand, if you like it more casually, I would say save your money.

The Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition does not reach the level of an MMO or Monster Hunter World, but it offers an adventure unique in the series. Playing in the company of your friends is the best way to experience this job. However, if your acquaintances aren't interested, I think you'd better keep raising money for another game.

The Council is a good attempt to refresh the narrative adventure genre, that starts to feel a little bit too repetitive these days. Although it's not based on a popular intellectual property, it does offer a story full of mystery and some interesting characters.

Rock Band 4 gives us a nostalgic title and a lot of joy for those who love the franchise; unfortunately, the game is the same thing as past versions.

Park Beyond is a pretty decent amusement park management simulator, because those who are supporters of this type of title are going to love the creativity with which one of these themed centers can be created from scratch. Although for first timers, it could be a bit tricky to tackle at first.

Although it does not end up being as robust an experience as other games of the genre (Planet Coaster, Surviving Mars), Jurassic World Evolution 2 still is a complete game, which solved the weaknesses of its predecessor and wanted to respond to users that are not-so-enthusiastic about the Tycoon resulting in a title that is not complex and quite friendly for the players.

Agents of Mayhem is a good action game with a tremendous generic feeling. Although it is fun to play, sadly it doesn't have anything that makes it shine like other games, even less like those like of the Saints Row series. If you play it you could have a really good time; just don't expect anything outstanding.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 feels more like an expansion than a sequel.Yes, its gameplay feels the same as the first game and has more contents (like characters, moments from the anime or movies, and gameplay modes) that fans will enjoy. However that doesn't saved the game from having many problems that affect its experience, being some of them the same that its predecessor had.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is an interesting new approach to a series that was starting to look stagnant. Albeit its not perfect and has many flaws, the new elements like the open world and State Combo System achieve to offer a new experience that feels fresh, though not in the best possible way.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star for Switch could be considered as the best version of the title. Thanks to the technical aspects of the console that let it run with a better resolution in its portable format, it performs better that the one of the Vita. Also and even though it has less framerate in its TV mode, all of its gameplay runs smoothly, the amount enough that make it not be outclassed by the PS4 edition. Also and as an aesthetic bonus, it has all of its DLC from the beginning.

After having an ending from the first episode worthy of the works of George R.R. Martin, here comes the second chapter of Game of Thrones form Telltale Games titled The Lost Lords. The Forrester family must defend their land at no matter what cost and, it seems that there's a light of hope in their battle against the Whitehills, but it won't be easy.

Super Bomberman R is the best multiplayer option right now for every Nintendo Switch owner. Sadly its main flaw is its input lag, that makes the online battles hard to play in some occasions. Still the 8 player on TV is as fun as in every other game of the franchise. Its single player campaign is fun but too short.

God Eater 3 is a good hunting game that could serve as an ideal starting point for those that haven't played these type of games. Having said that, it feels simple and with a lot of wasted potential. It works perfectly but veteran players will not find a lot to do on it aside from enjoying a kinda cliche and post-apocalyptic story with anime design.

Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story is a fun rhythm game that features a couple of interesting ideas. Other than that, this experience doesn't offer much for the MOBA world or for the gamer.

Trials Rising is a fun game. There will be those who play it for a while just to see the different ways you can crash or to see its wacky tracks. And there will be who wants to master it's controls and become an expert in the game. This is the game's greatest accomplishment, that it can be fun for different type of players and everyone will have a unique experience with it. However, it will become repetitive rather quickly.

So far, Sunwolf Entertainment shows potential to continue in its quest to gain a foothold in the gamer world, since with its first development it has received constant feedback in the press, which should provide them with the necessary elements to fine-tune the defects and polish their virtues based on the soundtrack and the setting of pre-Columbian cultures.

The narrative on Mafia III is great and exciting, maybe one of the best of the year, same with the attention to little details recreating New Bordeaux and general adjustments to the gameplay of the franchise. We cannot say the same of the general open world structure that gives us repetitive activities to unlock the premium content, in the same way, we're sad to see the final game with a myriad technical issues.

Once again, Signal Studios have succeeded in making a game that combines in a perfect way three genres in one enjoyable experience. It has its flaws in some aspects like in its online mode or presentation, but overall, it offers a really entertaining title that fans of strategic action and tower defense games should try it at least once.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a product that was only made to comply, so compared to remasters of other franchises, it falls far, far behind. On the other hand, if there are new users who want to play it for the first time, it is an accessible option today. Although for the asking price, perhaps it would be best to wait for a discount.

Maneater is a weirdly entertaining game that gets boring too fast before it can achieve true fun.

A fun game that doesn't last too long. It's simple and has really some basic controls that anyone can handle. Although this could become a really good option for beginners to start in action games, fans of the series will feel that the experience is too short and easy when compared with other games.

Minecraft Dungeons is an OK game that falls behind because of all the limitations that will surely be expanded upon in a monetized way.

Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo is a pretty good racing game with a lot of good ideas. If you are a fan of this sport, you should give it a try.

Mario Sports Superstars has some interesting games and works well when you play with friends or compete online, but unfortunately none of the five sports are enough deep to consider them as the best Mario sports games.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a pretty simple and straightforward action RPG. A lack of new ideas and a more deep gameplay, makes it a hard game to recommend.

A pretty good experiment from FromSoftware, creators Dark Souls. The approach of the Japanese studio with VR tech is interesting, but rough around the edges.

We were striving for a new Wild Area and we received a the next step of Pokémon's open world experience. Sadly the first part of the Expansion Pass still feels shallow and with lots of empty space.

Behind its Street Pass Game skin, Miitopia is a fresh, extravagant and curious RPG that is not safe from tedious and repetitive parts but it has nice and unexpected surprises too.

Despite being released almost one year ago on PC and PS4, this online shooter with horror elements makes its debut on Xbox One with all of the previously released content and some limited-time exclusive skins for weapons and characters.

NBA Playgrounds is not perfect, at this moment the game could offer us a deep variety of game modes and there are some mechanics like precision in perfect shots that are difficult to understand. On the other side, is a very fun experience when you are challenging other player on your own platform or in the competitive online matches.

We're right in mid-season of the Game of Thrones game by Telltale Games. In this third episode named The Sword in the Darkness, the studio decided to focus on the narrative aspect but left behind the gameplay in what's so far the longest chapter.

Patapon Remastered is a decent new version of a great PSP game.

While the game is super fun solving the puzzles with a partner based on the communication and coordination, after completing all levels there's no reason to come back and play again.

The Ezio Collection give us the best of the series, a package that will be enjoyed by the newcomers to the franchise, but maybe it's not the best remasterization for the old fans of the franchise.

For better or worse, Fire Emblem Warriors is another Musou game that only distinguishes itself by the addition of many elements from the FE series that surprisingly adapt really good to the concept of the genre. Fans of the franchise would be delighted with it; those that aren't, not so much.

Despite its cultural content and folklore context, Mulaka is a simple adventure game that still has to prove why it's different from other games in the genre.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is a really weird game. As an action and Musou (Warriors) game works really nice albeit all of its and notorious flaws (THAT CAMERA!). As a Fate/ game, it doesn’t functions so well and lacks much of the essence that fans would want from it. It is a far from perfect title that you could find entertaining if you give it the opportunity. Just don’t expect it to offer something unique or different from what you have seen in many other Koei-Tecmo Games.

Episode Prompto is a far better chapter that Episode Gladiolus was. With different but interesting gameplay, a really good story and a design that strays from being linear, this DLC has many good reasons to convince players to return to Final Fantasy XV.

Star Ocean: First Departure R is a beautiful retro game, but at the same time, it does almost nothing to get up to speed on the current gen, making it almost impossible to recommend to anyone unfamiliar with the series.

Two excellent games, but sadly not so well remastered. The character models and their suits look very well, unfortunately the rest of the game looks fewer dark than the original release and we don't have any improvements on the framerate. If you never played the Arkham series before maybe you should look at this collection, the rest of us not.

Hollow Realization is easily the best game based on the SAO Series; however its far from perfect. Albeit it offers a functional scheme of controls, a rich world to explore and an ambitious relations system, its weak and boring story, confusing menus and poor character AI make this game a hard test for all those die-hard fans. If you are a desperate gamer then maybe you will have a difficult time with this game; if you prevail all of its flaws, then you will get rewarded with a game that overflows with personality and fanservice.

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk its one of the simplest Musou games that Koei Tecmo has made. It is not a bad game by any means but it also doesn't offer anything different or new from what we have saw in any other titles from the genre and one that, sadly, doesn't fully capture the essence of the story that its based on. Simply put, is one game that fans from the original manga or anime will enjoy, but also one that other players will forget really quick.

FBC: Firebreak feels like a playable first draft of something that could grow over time. Its foundation is solid: the setting is strong, the co-op mechanics work, and the institutional-paranormal tone remains captivating, but it needs more content, depth, and emotional connection.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a good try to expand the mechanics that were introduced by its predecessor, but some technical issues like poor graphics and a flat level design prevent the game of becoming a much more enjoyable experience.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 has a charming world full of details and colorful characters but just a few innovations compared with its predecessor. Maybe all the new elements in the series like online medal swap and competitive battles should have been from the start on the first game. At the end of the day, is good to see the localization of this sequel for the big fans of the series.

The core Kunio-kun's mechanics are back on an old school flavored game, it's plenty of fun and content and the mixed elements from the RPGs and Beat'em ups work well. Unfortunately it's simpler than other similar contemporary games on its genre and the visuals are not consistent all times.

As a tribute to the franchise it's not bad, but as a game in general, there are more interesting proposals on the market, whether it's a JRPG or a hack and slash. However, those who don't mind repetition can enjoy it. This is where the line is drawn to decide whether or not to buy the product.

The Famicom Detective Club series is a good introduction to graphic novels. However, the scope that these remakes could have is limited, due to the absence of several important localization elements.

The Order: 1886 has exceptional graphics which give the player a totally cinematic experience with a thrilling story. Ready at Dawn shows us what the PlayStation 4 is capable of, but the game has minor flaws that influence the overall experience negatively.

Even if you don't like random generated universes, No Man's Sky is really amazing as a giant sandbox to travel and enjoy it as a virtual place to stay, unfortunately we can't say the same of its boring and uninspired quests and ambiguous progression.

God Eater 2: Rage Burst feels like a wasted opportunity. Although it offers more of that frenetic and savage gameplay from its predecessor, its poor presentation and lack of innovations turns this game in one without any sense of surprise. Unless you are willing to play more from God Eater, we suggest you to stick with playing the remake of God Eater Resurrections.

Dead Kings has some good moments and feels like a nice apology from Ubisoft for the original game’s mess. Going back to the roots of the series fits really well into this DLC.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet is a pretty simple, but very fun game. It's ideas feels generally fresh and well executed. If you are in for a light party game, this new Kirby adventure is for you.

Bean Dreams delivers a solid experience that continues with the success of the first game. However, it doesn’t push the concept forward, only following the pillars of the original work.

The big problem with Mighty No. 9 was being overrated by consumers and even by its creator. The game fulfills its objectives halfway because, despite its very bad presentation and technical problems, it is faithful to the promise to give us a challenging and fun challenge that will be loved by old school gamers.

It's good to see the localization of games like J-Stars Victory in order to attend the loyal manga and anime fans. This game is good in references and fan service but regular on the gameplay mechanics with some troubles with combat and camera. At the end of the day some fans will be able to enjoy the whole experience.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a solid game but still far from being the best game in the history of the franchise. Its fun and full of fan service. The online capabilities might add several hours of entertainment, sadly, its graphics and controls are still not the best.

We can’t expect the best gameplay from a franchise that mocks pretty much everything we know with every new title. But for a couple of hours we’ll have genuine fun picking up collectibles and laughing at the hilarious plot.

Trials of the Blood Dragon is a cluster of experiments that did not work as we would have expected. This game is full of personality and style that will please fans of the original spin-off presuming a great presentation and excellent soundtrack, but it has not the strength and polished gameplay of the Ubisoft RedLynx franchise with terrible on-foot platforming sequences.

Aragami 2 is a very linear stealth experience that gives too much power to the player, making it extremely easy to overcome any kind of challenge the game throws at you. Repetitive missions and buggy performance make it a hassle to play through.

A fun game that's lacking new ideas.

Hunting Jack The Ripper with a new ambient, new locations and new gameplay elements was an enjoyable experience on this expansion, but the game still has repetitive missions and some technical problems that didn't let the game become memorable.

My Hero's One Justice 2 doesn't fix some of the flaws the first game had, and instead, tries to add more content, but with the same mistakes.

Marvel's Avengers has a great main campaign accompanied by great potential, but in the end it is overshadowed by technical errors and an unnecessary GaaS section.

Despite some problems with its camera and controls, this game is an interesting and enjoyable puzzle experiment that results in a good portable experience for 3DS.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a great way to end one incredible and complex story like this one; it's guaranteed that fans will enjoy it the most. That being said, the game doesn't offer anything different from what we have seen in the past entries and still makes mistakes. Also, this is an aggressive game for newcomers.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is not the remake we were all hoping for. While it's undeniable that the game makes a number of substantial improvements to the combat system, and will surely be a very enjoyable experience for all new fans, RGG Studio seems to have failed to understand its own work. Rather than generating excitement for the future of the series, this title raises a number of questions, and the idea of ​​Yakuza Kiwami 4 doesn't sound appealing, at least not right now. However, I hope the developers take this as a lesson, and that the next time we see Kiryu or Ichiban, it will be in an experience that truly honors the series, because if these games have made anything clear, it's that second chances do happen, but you have to know how to make the most of them.
