Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a fun 8-bit nostalgia trip that succeeds in capturing the aesthetic, challenge and gameplay of the Castlevania games of that era, though it doesn’t try to bring anything new on the table. Hopefully, its big brother, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, will not try to only repeat Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but it will be a true spiritual successor, advancing further the genre of metroidvania.

Sakuna of Rice and Ruin narrates a wonderful fairytale of Japanese mythology, which is unfortunately plagued by pacing problems that arise from the intense repetition of exploration.

Wild Bastards may have a few shortcomings but overall it delivers a fun roguelike experience with enough twist to set itself apart from others in the genre.

Definitely not just a "Dynasty Warriors with Dragon Quest skin". Dragon Quest Heroes could very easily be described as a revolution for the musou genre by offering superb gameplay, great JRPG elements and a breath taking art direction.

Almost five years after its initial release, Paradox's sci-fi epic graces Sony's console and finally brings the fully fledged experience and thrill of managing every aspect of a galactic empire, from sociopolitical decisions to starship designs. Tantalus' port successfully translates the PC controls, enabling players to boldly go where no other Strategy game has gone before on consoles, and it's a journey worth making.

The "prequel" campaign is well written and gives some interesting feedback on the universe of Gears, but it's quite short and the protagonists are bland. It would be better to wait a "deal of the week" price drop before you get your hands on this.

The Royal Edition of Final Fantasy XV -due to its huge content- is targeted towards those who haven’t played the game in its initial release and for them it is a highly recommend game. On the other hand, the appreciable new content does not last long and as a result -for those who have played the original version- it can’t be a strong enough motivation to return to Eos.

Whether unconsciously or not, the game manages to become a fitting representation of the history of Telltale, together with a teaser of their vision for the future and a heart wrenching goodbye to Clementine, after 7 years walking side by side with her. It exists due to the undying spirit of its creators who, like the band on the Titanic, kept on playing their music, and together with Skybound managed to offer a fitting and grounded end to this beloved series.

An interesting and inspiring convergence of a 2D side-scrolling platform game with a role-playing, turn-based combat system, all wrapped with a beautiful visual shell. It has a few minor faults here and there, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.

Retropolis 2 may be a bit on the short side and lacking in voiceovers' quality, but its appealing neo-noir aesthetic, fitting jazz soundtrack and interesting story more than make up for these shortcomings.

Another year, another edition of EA Sports FC, offering some predictable improvements but little in the way of true evolution. The gameplay remains addictive and the overall production quality is high, but once again, defensive play feels sacrificed in favor of "thrilling" attacks and high-scoring matches, all while the aggressively monetized system returns in full force.

Although it suffers from some fundamental design flaws -like the poor A.I. and some unfair crashes due to the destruction of the environment- MotorStorm offers a solid, fun and beautiful arcade racing experience, equal to its predecessors.

The developers of Tails of Iron 2 certainly played it safe with the sequel. The additions, such as the hook, feel underdeveloped, and overall, it could simply be described as ‘more of the same.’ Nevertheless, anyone who enjoyed battling the frogs will likely have a good time fighting the army of bats, as the game still offers tight combat and a well-balanced challenge.

The excellent OST and nice, retro looking pixel-art are not enough to hide the subpar gameplay and the frustrating difficulty.

An excellent representation of the best the series has to offer and is sure to make Sonic Fans drool from nostalgia. Sadly, lack of innovation, stagnant problems in the gameplay and quality-inconsistent stages, hinder it from reaching new heights.

Quantum Break is not an Ocean. It’s a Lake. A Lake of experimentations, of narrative overlaps and tons of well crafted gameplay and stunning visual-technological achievements. And once again, through its multilayered story, the interaction between the live drama and the actual gameplay and the artistic script, Quantum Break is not a game for the throng. It’s a game for the ones that feel special enough to fully embrace it.

World of Final Fantasy is a beautiful game full of nostalgia, but it tries to do several things at once, making it evident that its creators had no idea how to make it appealing to the audience.

The beautiful depiction of the grotesque and nightmarish religious world of Cvstodia is a good enough reason to visit it. If only its simplistic gameplay and almost non-existent progression of the character could match the high quality of its detailed pixel art, then we could be talking about a truly original masterpiece of the genre.

With this sequel Neocore Games proves that the studio has tons of talent and understands quite well what it takes to create a great Action RPG. Either you're a fan of Diablo or not - don't miss the continuing adventures of Abraham.

A classic game that few modern gamers know. You should take a look at it -especially if you're going to purchase Kid Icarus Uprsising- just to see how everything began.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire does an excellent job of translating 1920s and ’30s cartoon aesthetics into an old-school FPS. It fully embraces its noir setting, delivering clever one-liners, energetic jazz, and a well-written, humor-filled conspiracy to unravel. It’s held back somewhat by repetitive shooting and limited enemy variety, but all in all, it stands as a charming and stylish tribute to a bygone cartoon era.

Hell Is Us arrived with a similar surprise effect as the excellent Clair Obscur. It proves to be a unique game that depicts, without filtering, the atrocities of civil war and the reasoning that leads to such horror. Its world-building is of the highest quality, enhanced by an oblique atmosphere and the striking design of Hadea’s war-torn landscapes. Top marks also go to the complete absence of hand-holding, as the game trusts players to pay attention to details, notes, and clues to navigate its world and uncover its clever secrets.

The quality of the original Tales of Berseria is nothing short of praiseworthy. However, this review focuses on what the remaster brings to the table, and in that regard, the release is quite perplexing. It feels more like an overpriced patch than a true remaster, offering only a slight visual upgrade.

While some elements, like the story and the boss fights, will definitely appeal to fans of the franchise, major step backs, like the low difficulty, the poor pacing due to the overload of cut-scenes and the uninteresting side quests keep Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 from being the next big hit by CyberConnect2.

The transition from the PC to the Xbox 360 left a lot of content behind, but World of Tanks remains a decent and fun online game with a casual approach that anyone can enjoy.

A fighter title that holds promise, but with some issues keeping it behind other interesting games in the genre. A game that fits perfectly in the new console, but needs more support in terms of content to avoid repetition and becoming a thing of the past faster than expected.

The decisions we made on the previous episodes truly shine here, in an episode so well written that is the best so far.

Sniper Elite 5 offers a very specific treat to choose from. Everything it does, does it adequately and consistently. There are problems such as the poor AI, the low variety in the gameplay and rough graphics, but the whole package is decent.
