    Fast & Furious Crossroads is one of the worst games I've played this year and possibly the worst game of the generation. Even if you are a fan of the movie franchise, you should definitely stay away from this awful experience.

    Nioh 2: The Tengu's Disciple is a very short experience that tries to tell a whole story, but at the same time it acknowledges that it's still missing some parts of the overall narrative. Fans of the base game should definitely give this a go.

    A crazy, very cool and above all, well-executed combat system that basically mixes a puzzle game with the fundamentals of a turn-based RPG; a script that will literally make you laugh out loud in a moment and at the same time cry with unexpected and intense scenes; brilliant and very complex art direction that is perfectly executed by beautiful graphics; as well as intricate, highly interactive level design are just a few of the great values of the new Nintendo Switch exclusive... Paper Mario: The Origami King is a great comeback for the franchise thanks to its amazing world and original combat system. An epic journey that you should experience.

    Video games are just about putting us in the role of the character we control, and Ghost of Tsushima more than succeeds in making you feel like you are a thirteenth-century Samurai, thanks to great achievements in terms of game mechanics, controls, a world Interesting open and genuinely vivid, stunning graphics and of course a screaming art direction. Yes, we have the presence of some clutches and design flaws very typical of the subgenre to which this title belongs, but nothing that overshadows the experience that this closure represents to the great exclusives of the PlayStation 4.

    As a soft reboot, this new entry of Sakura Wars works perfectly as it offers some fresh ideas and changes to its gameplay mechanics while retaining the essence of the series, as well as most of the key aspects that turned it in one of the most beloved franchises in Japan. However, it is not suited for everyone as its combat controls feels clunky and basic and the combination of genres is unbalanced, so much that it will mostly appeal to those that love dating sims and visual novels.

    One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is not a bad game at all as it offers plenty of frenetic and chaotic battles with simple yet fun gameplay mechanics. However, it is really predictable and its contents are what many fans (from both the anime and Musou series) would expect. It's more of the same formula we have seen in previous titles, though that is not necessarily bad or wrong; only not amusing.

If this is your first time entering this fantastic universe, I would recommend starting with the original, which by now you can surely find at a very affordable price, and it is essentially the same game. But if you are a veteran player of the saga, then Nioh 2 should be a must for you.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was one of the most colorful, entertaining and visually amazing games from the Wii U that, sadly, most people ignored. Now, this new port for the Nintendo Switch serves as a second chance to get into this fabulous game, all while it adds a fair amount of extra content (previous DLC and new materials) that turn it into the most complete version of the title. It's one game that many will enjoy, specially fans from the RPG genre, the Fire Emblem and/or Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series and, even so those one who played the original title.
