Visually appealing, but lacking in gameplay. Directive 8020 offers an atmospheric journey through space, but one that is constantly undermined by inconsistent narrative choices and practically blind enemies, resulting in an adventure with too many ups and downs.

Not even Destiny's brilliant gunplay can save Marathon from its own mess. Bungie's new shooter drowns in too much visual noise, rudimentary menus and boredom. An extraction shooter that doesn't innovate and becomes tiresome long before it becomes fun. If you're hardcore in this genre, Marathon can be seen in a much more optimistic light.

Chaotic, frustrating, but undeniably ambitious. Crimson Desert constantly tests our patience with technical problems and a confusing narrative, before letting us enjoy its ambitious combat system, exploration and stunning visuals. A game that demands time and a lot of patience for those who manage to overcome the barrier of its lack of polish.

RIDE 6 is a solid game with lots of content, which excels above all in driving on asphalt and with a satisfying learning curve. But it is very conservative, with underused new features and an online and progression structure that could be more ambitious.

Romeo is a Dead Man is yet another bizarre and absolutely crazy title by Goichi Suda, a fine example of a video game by an author that displays all the insane methodology of its creator. It's not the best technical game, it doesn't have the best gameplay you'll find, but it's an absolutely out-of-the-box experience.

Metroid Prime 4 has occasional moments of brilliance, especially when it approaches the original trilogy, but the Metroidvania design seems to have been oversimplified, the open world does not work, and parts of the progression involve bizarre decisions.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 looks good, but ultimately fails to bring anything new to the table. The campaign is confusing and poorly organized, the multiplayer is basically “more of the same,” and the Zombies mode has some good ideas, but it's not enough to save the game.

Going back thousands of years to Tears of the Kingdom, the third Hyrule Warriors shows you everything from that first epic confrontation against Ganondorf, but the cast lacks the necessary strength, while the progress made in making the gameplay more frenetic clashes with the lack of evolution in the musou design.

The Outer Worlds 2 tries to be a great space RPG, but falls by the wayside. It has good ideas, lots of freedom and fun moments, but the story is confusing and the world feels empty. It's a game full of potential, but which never really lives up to it. An RPG that wanted to be a shooter, or maybe the other way around?

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a game that can be a lot of fun and engaging with its battles and everything related to Digimon evolution. However, the overall graphic quality, side quests, bosses, and linear design approach detract from the experience.

Dying Light The Beast brings back Kyle Crane, now with human and zombie DNA, to explore a new region.

The result is a fun, adrenaline-fueled game, perfect for fans, even if it doesn't offer any big surprises.

Cronos: The New Dawn is an ambitious step by Bloober Team, combining horror, action, and survival in a devastated world. Mechanics such as enemy fusion and time manipulation are interesting, but technical flaws, repetitive combat, and an unsatisfactory ending limit its impact.

Lost Soul Aside needed to be just a tribute to Final Fantasy in the form of an energetic hack & slash game capable of thrilling us with its boss fights. Unfortunately, it tries to be too much and fails in the most important aspect: the quality of its execution.

Ubisoft has finally released Assassin's Creed Shadows, after several setbacks. It follows the formula of the series, without taking any risks, limiting itself to delivering a game that is consistent with what fans already know. Naoe is a nice surprise, while Yasuke doesn't seem to know what he's doing here. Anyone who likes the saga will love Shadows, but it's a shame it's not more daring.

Obsidian has delivered an action RPG with a weak technical component, in which it doesn't do anything exactly new or epic, but its combat gameplay is exciting and the story interesting enough to deliver an entertaining game.

Sand Land offers an action-packed RPG thrill ride, highlighting the importance of the friendships formed during the adventure and emphasizing the bonds between the characters. However, the game is marred by excessive repetition of activities and discouraging melee combat.

A trip back in time to the golden second half of the 90s. The combat system, the 2D sprites and the main mechanics create an appeal, embellished by the nostalgic effect, but you'll have to deal with some less positive elements.

A medieval colossus with some limitations and flaws in this Switch version, although satisfying for the experience it provides.
