15 years later, Dead Space remains one of the best action survival horror games and its new refreshed take is the perfect way for new players and old players alike to wear their adult diapers and jump (back) in the visceral horror of USG Ishimura.

Forspoken may have some merits, in terms of combat design and the magic parkour, but it is also, unfortunately, one of the most derivative games we have seen in many years in terms of open world design as well as questing. Especially the secondary quests are joyless and devoid of any redeeming value.

This remaster of Persona 4 Golden is an excellent JRPG, which should not be missed by anyone who loves the genre.

Persona 3 Portable's remaster is a huge opportunity for those who wanted to deal with this game, however its age -and everything that comes with it- will be a problem for those who can't stand the game design of a bygone era.

Fire Emblem: Engage is an unexpected main series title that is about to grace the Nintendo Switch consoles of tactical RPG fans. It is a game that manages to pushes the boundaries of the overall gameplay experience, yet makes some choices that lead us to the very distant past of the series, where various elements did not just matter. It is a pleasant adventure that will happily take some 40 hours of the players’ free time, yet fails to provide a monumental experience like its predecessor did.

Midnight Suns is a complete package created with passion and love, and that's why it stands out from many lifeless Marvel releases we've seen lately. It oozes substance, which is why not many will focus on the relatively weak visuals and technical problems.

As it happened with JoyMasher's previous games, here too our engagement was ultimately deemed enjoyable, as Moonrider satisfactorily treads on the easily digestible dictates of the genre and transports us convincingly and nostalgically to the older days of two-dimensional action platformers.

Finally, after almost 25years of half measures and mostly mediocre titles, Sonic has finally reached the 3D levels of gameplay it needed to reach. Yes, the pop in is absolutely inexcusable and the ancient gatekeeping grindy methods damage the flow of the game for no reason, but a wonderfully built base exists here, with a highly entertaining adventure in wonderfully melancholic world and a surprisingly well founded story, thankfully clean of Sonic’s annoying 3rd tier friends!

A wonderful return to form for the Syberia series after the misstep of the 3rd game, The World Before is not only a wonderfully written game that finishes the 20 year old story of Kate Walker, but also one of the best games from Benoit Sokal, the perfect goodbye to this legendary artist.

The Callisto Protocol is definitely not an evolution of Dead Space or even a title of equal quality that we wanted it to be. It’s certainly a pleasant experience for horror fans, thanks to the one-note, but satisfying combat, as well as it’s no-frills linear design. Nevertheless, it’s a by the numbers horror title without many (if any) surprises and a crucial lack of variety in enemies and combat/ survival situations.

It might seam a little strange that many iconic titles are absent, but Atari 50 is more than just a batch of random games. It is an interactive experience and a visit to the museum of video games. It’s not just a collection, it is a Celebration.

The variety in areas and monsters are its strong points, with the combat offering good fun with controversial choices. Its big problem is the lack of rhythm in its gameplay, as a result of which the title passes as an indifferent "binge watch" for the weekend.

Although Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure All Star Battle R has rich offline content to offer, in the long term it‘ll be difficult to keep the audience because the lack of rollback netcode creates problems in online matches.

A satisfactory bullet hell vertical shoot 'em up with many unlockable ships, branching paths and a dynamic difficulty that could benefit from better graphics and a more stable framerate.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales for the PC is a high quality port, optimized to run on any PC hardware configuration. With an interesting story and outstanding gameplay, Miles Morales is a game that should be in everyone's game library.

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet had the potential to become the most exciting adventure in its entire history. New battle mechanics, an improved UI and a gameplay that has matured over the years, along with the appearance of an open-world region, could have been the game that all fans deserved. Ultimately though, The Pokémon Company delivers a rough-on-the-edges, unpolished and underdeveloped game, with an amount of graphical and technical inconsistencies that reveal the lack of time the developers had.

The strange mixing of elements from different genres works amazingly giving a sweet rhythm to the game. Their implementation does not deviate from a more casual approach and the truth is that it leaves us a little unsatisfied for an implementation with more depth, for the sole reason that it works so well.

Lost Eidolons provides an unexpectedly interesting storyline, which remains engrossing until the end. Some wrinkles appear in both the audio and visual presentation, but these does not deter much from the core of the experience, which is none other than the gameplay.

The Devil in Me may not redefine the series, but it's the first title from Supermassive Games where it actually shows that the developer is trying to improve the recipe.

Poor in substance, soft in impact, slow in pacing, annoying in characters, lacking in gameplay / choices, The New Tales from the Borderlands is just a distant foggy echo of the first, vastly superior game.

Somerville is a quite troubled game. Its biggest flaw though is how often we spent more time trying to figure what the developer had in mind for the riddles, and less time with trying to solve the actual riddle.

The Chant is a survival horror that’s definitely worth checking from the aficionados of the genre. It may have its share of shortcomings, mainly a derivative albeit functional combat system, and a complete absence of environmental or other riddles that could spice up things. Nevertheless the demonic essence is there to built up tension and the monster design is surely memorable, something that’s certainly no small feat.

Ghost Song looks like the road that Samus Aran has not taken. This “2D Exploration Action Game” is the post-Metroid way that Metroid itself abandoned for the sake of being a modern Metroidvania. A curious yet fascinating case of a game.

In the seven years that KT Racing has been at the helm of development, we certainly haven't seen any radical changes or major improvements. Even so, in those years the series has had some of its most interesting moments, which are now offered all together in one package.

In an era that survival horror gaming seems to make a strong comeback in the AAA sphere, “Signalis” offers an unexpected, near perfectly crafted, old school experience that fans of the genre should not miss.

This year’s iteration of Call of Duty comes rich in content, with a variety of modes, well-made multiplayer, plenty of maps and solid gunplay. At the same time it delivers a bland and uninteresting story, with poor dialogue and shallow characters. A perfectly timed sniper shot from 300 yards where the bullet ricocheted just before hitting the center of the target. It achieved what was expected, but did not reach the full expectations.

The improved storytelling and the additions Royal has, compared to the original game, is a true gift to all owners of modern platforms. Possibly due to the Phantom Thieves stealing the hearts of Atlus executives, a big audience can now dive into one of the best JRPGs out there, with hours of an immersive story and a refined gameplay that has built onto its past foundations and brings with it the promise of an exciting future.
