    Without many peculiarities, elegant gestures or specifically innovative ideas; Impaler is a compelling demonstration of the limitations under which some of the most iconic shooters in history ever created. Those that have evolved into what are today digital sports and wonders of multimedia design, programming and animation.

    Steel Seed attempts to explore multiple genres like stealth, action, and platforming, and while it presents some interesting ideas, it falls somewhere between playing it safe and sticking to the basics. The story has potential, but the whole experience is limited by cliched mechanics and a gloomy visual aesthetic. It might differentiate itself from the competition if its concepts were improved.

    Let's be honest Goat Simulator 3 is not a game to be taken seriously, even the developers themselves say so. Regarding the first game, some improvements have been made such as online and local multiplayer, objectives have been added to the games and new abilities. It really amuses us a lot but once again it lacks a clear objective.

    Although Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out for its artistic direction and dynamic turn-based combat, it doesn't fully convince me. Maybe I've become more demanding, but it feels like the game is always trying to give me the upper hand. The gameplay mechanics are already familiar and feel more like an update than an innovation. It needs some polishing in certain areas—maybe then I'll give it another chance.

    Echoes of the End is a game with good intentions but struggles to shine in its key areas, particularly combat. While its visuals are eye-catching and it presents some appealing ideas, the experience quickly loses momentum due to unpolished mechanics and a clunky combat system.

    Creature of Ava has a relaxed and unpretentious gameplay for those who like the adventure genre. At the beginning it is entertaining then it becomes repetitive due to the mission system. Visually speaking, it is a beautiful game, but it needs more polish.

    Through "The Vanishing" the vast universe of Far Cry 6 takes us in an extremely ambitious and resourceful way to the supernatural adventures of "Stranger Things" in an immersive way. We eagerly await the upcoming additions to give more than a few hours of entertainment.

    Shadows possesses the ingredients of a practically perfect Assassin's Creed videogame, but falls on its face over the same old mistakes from the Ubisoft playbook.

    Super Technos World: River City & Arcade Classics should learn a few things from the best game compilations out there. While it offers a decent selection of titles, not all of them feel worthy or memorable enough to be included, making the overall package feel somewhat uninspired. I’d recommend it only to retro gaming fans and those looking to revisit the golden era of 16-bit classics.

    Atari Mania takes the concept of microgames to another level, mixing them up to create crazy sections of fast-paced games. However, the unpolished controls and unfair difficulty will turn off those fans that are looking for fun.

    Deliver At All Costs aims for chaotic fun and absurd situations, with gameplay focused on delivering packages while wreaking havoc on the environment. However, the fun quickly wears off due to some noticeable design flaws. Still, if you're willing to overlook those shortcomings, its narrative stands out as a strong point that might keep you engaged.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione is a game for a unique fan-based because it contains features for expert gamers in search of a large-scale simulation experience.

    Although Toxic Commando has addictive moments and offers around 20 hours of gameplay, it lacks the spark and immersion it promised, besides having graphics that feel a bit outdated. However, the developer's formula still works; its story and good cutscenes are the ideal hook to keep you playing for a while.

    Endless Ocean Luminous is a game that leaves survival mechanics behind to offer a relaxing experience in which we are invited to discover sea creatures and treasures. However, after a while it will become monotonous, we have no challenges or other things to do.

    SPYxANYA: Operation Memories is aimed at anime enthusiasts, but it has a catch. The mini-games are the greatest feature of the package; the photography mechanics were pointless. It will get monotonous after a few hours and hardly touch on subjects from the original work.

    Ravenlok is an adventure game that looks like an alternative version of Alice in Wonderland, being a very nice game aesthetically, but too simple at the same time. It hardly presents a challenge for those who play it and it has mechanics that should have been better used.

    In the game Do Not Open we must do the opposite, open many doors to escape from a mansion. It has some puzzles that will make us think, with a random component to avoid trial and error. However, solving it with an implacable enemy is not the best way to do them.

    Fans of roguelikes will find Battle Train to be a unique and entertaining blend of strategy and deck-building. Its strongest points are its animation-style presentation and genre-mixing gameplay, which challenge players to think carefully. However, some design choices may feel questionable from a gameplay standpoint and could push away less experienced players.

    ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition is a good survival game, and in this edition the developers have made a great effort to improve the experience such as loading screens and better textures but the frame drops continue. The expansions will arrive in the future so we only have all the content of the original game.

    Emio - The Smiling Man is a game from a classic series returning for Nintendo Switch. It's a linear game that focuses on exploration, investigation, and puzzle-solving, but lacks much interactivity. It constantly forces you to guess the next option, which can be frustrating. Its story based on an urban legend and its enigmatic enemy are the most striking aspects, but its low replayability makes it just another boring game.

    Thanks to all the backstory the Alien franchise has given it, this RTS features a lot of potential. Although it is extremely demanding when playing on a PC, the visual and audio quality is decent. Its main problem is the camera controls because they are a little odd as well as difficult to use. At first, the game is pretty boring, but after that, it can be enjoyable.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is little more than a superficial facelift of the game we saw back in 2006. It offers very few meaningful improvements and still suffers from the same bugs as the original release—along with some new ones that can even break your save files.

    This is just another failed attempt to take the Black Ops saga back to its roots by adding things that nobody asked for. Even with three different ways to play it, you can't get 50 hours of gameplay without getting bored in every way possible. It's just another game in the franchise that misses the opportunity to impress the traditional gamer who is just looking for a decent game to enjoy for a while.

    Layers of Fears maintains the original vein with its psychedelic horror and immersive storytelling, but falls short in many ways. The game introduces a new generation of more demanding graphics and cannot compete with recent games. For players who have already played the previous games it won't be a big deal, but it might attract new players.

    Project Downfall is one of those games that doesn't give much hype and is for players who like challenges that involve improving scores. His proposal is a mix of John Wick with retro aesthetics in a very psychedelic world. It's a frustrating game with just enough difficulty to make it entertaining.

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 takes the easy route by delivering a game that feels almost identical to the previous remaster, but falls short due to a number of choices that cut back on the original content. With nearly unchanged gameplay, little to no meaningful innovation, trimmed features, and underwhelming visuals, the overall experience ends up feeling diminished.

    Death Note: Killer Within arrives late to the social deduction game trend, and without ongoing support or updates, it could easily fall behind more polished competitors. The game has good intentions but lacks the execution needed to deliver a truly engaging long-term experience.

    MLB The Show 25 remains a solid baseball game. However, it lacks significant changes from its previous version. The addition of High School and College/University play feels limited with only eight teams. Paying $70 for a roster update and a few minor tweaks doesn’t seem worth it.

    PGA TOUR 2K23 could not beat the 2021 version, even being developed for the new generation of consoles. Its gameplay remains firm but it does not take advantage of anything from PS5 such as graphics, DualSense or the powerful SSD. Michael Jordan and Steph Curry come in handy for the game, but that doesn't cover up the things the developers should have focused on.

    This is a sequel that miserably fails to fill its predecessor's shoes. It has the best features of the original but they didn't know how to take advantage of them. The current lack of ambition in animations, scripts, graphical execution, optimization and overall satisfaction levels leave a lot to be desired. This 2023 is not the best year for the Star Wars franchise.
