Luigi's Mansion 2 HD may not be at the level of other remasters and remakes like Metroid Prime Remastered or Paper Mario: The Millennial Door, but even that doesn't stop it from remaining a timeless classic that is worth discovering if you haven't played it on Nintendo 3DS ...or revive, if you already did.

Add up a mostly successful multiplayer modes and fun is guaranteed all summer long.

The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road is a solid expansion, but unadventurous and less inspiring than High Isle or Necrom. The celebration of the MMORPG's 10th anniversary could have been something different to surprise fans. Nevertheless, the hits and new adventures are still present.

Honor of Kings is a free to play MOBA for mobile that does what it says it can do. Its accessibility means that many new players won't be overwhelmed and its gameplay is solid and addictive. However, it lacks more originality and has a few too many monetisation systems.

Terms like 'DLC' or even 'expansion' fall short and are even insulting when used to talk about Shadow of the Erdtree. As you play, you realize that what FromSoftware has done is closer to being Elden Ring 1.5 than a mere downloadable content. It seemed impossible, but they've done it again.

The universe of Alan Wake 2 grows with a small collection of original and fun ideas that play with the unexpected, humor and “the impossible”. A small stroke of genius that will not taste like much, and that has its biggest flaw in the reuse of the scenarios of the base game.

Thanks to a ton of changes, additions and improvements, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has gone from a great RPG to one of the best. Even if you played (and finished) it back in the day, it's worth returning to this wonderful post-apocalyptic world of demons, angels, and challenging turn-based combat.

A ton of new features, neat playable mechanics, huge amount of content and, above all, a shot of nostalgia that hits the mark: The Final Shape is the perfect closure for 10 years of history and one of the best expansions for Destiny 2.

F1 24 is too continuous and there wouldn't be such a problem if a physics and handling system had not been tweaked that now feels worse than the last installment.
