Α worthy sequel to the series. The controls are super responsive and intuitive and multiplayer fun is guaranteed. If only there were more available sports.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a love letter to the franchise and a game Lego and Star Wars fans have been waiting for since the Lego franchise’s first visit to George Lucas’ universe. It could have been a rather ideal experience, had it not been for the lack of memorable gameplay innovations and for lack of features that should have been part of the experience from the onset.

Weird West gives the impression of a concept that would work excellently under Arkane’s talented team, but as it stands it’s mainly a diamond in the rough. For every clever idea in creating a living Wild West with fantastical elements there is an equal amount of issues that shows a lack of resources to truly make the game stand out.

Itorah may be a good-looking game, with hand-crafted visuals, but under the nice exterior there is only a dull combat system and a level design that’s extremely derivative.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a fun Borderlands fantasy spin-off that manages to create its own identity. The great gunplay and the series trademark humor, combined with the fantasy setting, create a game that is a joy to play and a must-buy for Borderlands fans.

Rune Factory 5 is, without a doubt, a game that succeeds in destroying the positive vibes and the status the previous games in the series have managed to establish. It is a title that is only good at importing the gameplay mechanisms from its predecessors, yet delivers them in a way that feels rushed, mediocre and deserving of a mobile rather than a console release.

A beautiful, “zen” 2D sea journey with clever puzzles and a captivating atmosphere. This is what indie and video games in general should be like.

GTA V is a milestone in gaming -there's no doubt about that. If you are one of the few who haven't played it yet this is the best edition you could possibly get, but for everyone else there's really nothing here to justify even the low price point Rockstar is asking for.

ANNO: Mutationem definitely has its charm in its niche aesthetic. The amalgamation of 3D environments with the 2D sprites works quite well with the cyberpunk setting, evoking a pleasant PS One feeling. It’s a shame then that the story is derivative and nonsensical in many ways. It doesn’t help that the action is borderline generic albeit there is a commendable effort for an expansive bestiary of regular mobs and bosses.

Team Ninja created a hardcore action-RPG with an interesting combat system, but some missteps -like the awful dialogue, the mediocre level design and the bland story- keep it from achieving greatness.

Ghostwire Tokyo has some weaknesses, but with its fun to play combat and the beautiful presentation of Shibuya and its “visitors”, it will definitely pique your interest.

By creating an immersive and interesting world and story -with different endings- Triangle Strategy manages to captivate the player even though the battle system and the overall mechanics are nothing to write home about.

An artistic approach to the famous book with gorgeous graphics that resemble oil paintings, beautiful music, good narrative with multiple endings, but very simple and limited gameplay.

Assetto Corsa Competizione will not win you over with its content, but with the unique way it manages to fit the real felling of driving a racing car to the limit inside the narrow frame of a videogame.

Dawn of Ragnarök’s purpose regarding AC: Valhalla is what its name entails; the beginning of the end for the game. The most recent expansion tends to bombard the players with a bland cast of characters, a mostly uninteresting tale and gameplay choices that tend to be mostly confusing, irrelevant and have nothing to do with the advancements we saw in the previous DLCs.

Α solid conclusion to a refreshing franchise that will show its full potentional after all the correcting patches and the DLCs become available.

Elex II, as with all PB games, bites more that it can chew. Frustrating AI, clunky-janky gameplay and an engine that’s now a bit too old for wear are definite issues here, and the last 1/3 of the game feels like an afterthought. For fans of PB and western RPGs though, there is still a lot to love and enjoy in the second part of Jax’s story and in the wonderful world of Magalan.

Not only a relaxing and enjoyable game to mindlessly spend your time, but also a highly addictive, outrageously difficult and demanding platform of competition, all wrapped up in a beautiful visual field.

Martha Is Dead is definitely an improvement over LKA’s previous game. Giulia’s fragile character provides an interesting protagonist and the story gripped us from the first minutes. Unfortunately, the last part of the game isn’t as strong and culminates in a somewhat predictable way.

The people at HAL Laboratory have finally outdone themselves by delivering the first, fully-3D core game of the series, in an adventure that has much to offer players of all ages and experiences. Regardless of whether players choose to go single or co-op, Kirby and the Forgotten Land manages to make huge leaps towards being a great Kirby experience.

Chocobo GP is a real blast from the past. Somehow, however, it seems to ignore the modern standards, resulting in a game that feels -and possibly is- incomplete. Don’t really be discouraged; it can be perfect for families with young children, who are looking for a child-friendly experience, and it can provide enough amusement to justify a purchase.

KOF XV is an excellent game for fans of the series as it offers great visuals and a deeper fighting system. However, it will hardly win the hearts of newcomers because of its steep learning curve.

Dying Light 2 is improving the first game in almost every aspect. Be that as it may some of the improvements, such as in the combat system, are not enough to truly make them excel. On the other hand, it needs to be said that its parkour system creates new standards for the first-person genre as well as the design of the city creates an organic playfield for this method of traversal.

A decent game that offers a pleasant combat system and satisfying duration.

If you ever wanted to feel like the main character in a martial arts movie then look no further than Sifu. Sloclap deserves kudos for such a finely crafted combat system that hosts a diverse selection of defensive and offensive moves while being simple and straightforward in their executions.

For the Dark Souls fan this is a dream come true. For an open-world game this is a strong statement in a stale, oversaturated and by the book field of games. For a videogame, Elden Ring is a triumph right there with every iconic game that came before it. With unparalleled game design and a captivating sense of adventure, this is the best game FromSoftware ever made.

By going back to its roots and the design of the first games of the series, and being packed with tons of content, Gran Turismo 7 is the best, most complete and satisfying game of Polyphony Digital's franchise and probably the best "sim racer" out there.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is rightfully one of the best Pokémon adventures to pass down in history. Introducing a more fluid battle system, it sets new standards in the franchise, which will be hopefully established in future games.
