God of War: Ragnarök is an unforgettable journey filled with epic and intimate moments that can range from slaying one of Asgard's gods, to how deep and complex the relationship between father and son is. Supporting all this, we have a brilliant action and adventure game that surpasses its predecessor in everything and that also teaches what are standards when we talk about a super production within the medium. Game of the Year Candidate? Of course, probably the only tangible and realistic rival to everything that Elden Ring achieved a few months ago.

If you're a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, it's obvious that you'll be interested in trying it, but as a game, I would frankly recommend trying something else within the same genre.

It is a game that remains decent, it is not at all the fifth wonder of the world, but neither can it be interpreted as a disaster that will leave users indifferent, especially the most fanatical.

Shadows of Rose, despite not having the duration that many expected, is a fantastic campaign that works as an epilogue to the story that began in Resident Evil VII. The focus on puzzles makes every encounter with an enemy a high level of tension, and every time the game asks you to explore a section and solve a series of problems, it makes it clear why Capcom is one of the best studios out there. time to make survival horror games. This content alone is worth the $20 price of admission.

You don't need to know everything about the Borderlands franchise to enjoy this installment, since it remains an independent plot from what is seen in the main games. And for those who are already familiar, it is clear that they will enjoy it more because of all the winks and references that they will find along the way.

For its part, the gameplay of Grounded presents us with a cycle that constantly rewards us with new items, construction plans, and improvements that make exploration extremely addictive. You can spend days building your main base, collecting materials, and knowing the garden like the back of your hand before you even look for BURG.L for the first time, or embark on an expedition that's as complicated as you like. While there is room for improvement on a couple of elements, the base experience is extremely solid, and one of the most fun I've had the opportunity to experience all year.

As a final word, even as a new person to the franchise, I have to say that Return To Monkey Island would be an experience that fans of the franchise are going to totally enjoy. I had a pretty gratifying time, even if I didn't understand all the references to past adventures of which I have no immediate recollection.

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.

The Last of Us Part I is a great remake. It's not a job like Final Fantasy VII Remake or Resident Evil 2, and that's fine. It is a different experience.
