    Chocobo GP
    Chocobo GP is an entertaining game and is good karting at its core, however to unlock most of its content the user is required to play through its single player story mode. This makes the game feel very limited, especially in a genre whose main essence is to compete with other users. Still, the characters are charismatic, references to Final Fantasy and Chocobo spin offs bring a smile. The strategic mechanics of using items and the unique abilities of each racer give depth to the gameplay. The tracks are varied and fun to ride. The tunes are catchy, and the game is generally nice looking. This game is recommended for fans of Final Fantasy, for those looking for a future-evolving online experience, or for fans of Chocobo Racing on the first PlayStation, but it is worth noting that, In the end, Chocobo GP is a delightful experience that in many ways feels half-baked.

    Guitar Hero Live
    Guitar Hero Live represents a re-release of the franchise, bent on bringing innovation and relevance back to a lost genre; its production values are off the charts, but the game leaves behind some essential features such as challenge, social gameplay and content preservation.

    Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd
    The game offering is quite generous, not only when thinking about the Hatsune Miku fans, but also when it comes to rhythm game enthusiasts who are always looking for a new challenge. The game seamlessly takes newcomers through the J-Pop and vocaloid world, while franchise veterans will enjoy this candy store full of unlockable content, rewards and songs that they can enjoy for days on end on YouTube channels.

    Persona 5 Tactica
    Persona 5 Tactica is a spin-off that delivers without more. It's entertaining and fans of Persona 5 will be happy to spend a few more hours with the Phantom Thieves. Unfortunately, it lacks the impact needed to be one of those side projects that become an arm of the main franchise. Nor does it carry enough weight to become one of the best games of its genre. It is simply an entertaining title and little more.

    Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
    Wolfenstein: The Old Blood represents the return of the action-packed gore and classic mechanics we loved from the 2014 game. The neo-goth and futuristic design, along with frantic gun and run gunplay make this stand-alone release a solid option for any FPS enthusiast. We loved to return to Castle Wolfenstein and to escape from it as we did in 1992.

    Tchia
    Tchia has a lot of heart and charm. It's clear that the developers really wanted to honor the culture, traditions, landscapes and music of New Caledonia. Unfortunately, the exploration is repetitive after a few hours, the soul-Jumping mechanic never reaches its true potential and the combat is bland. That's unfortunately, as the game tries with love and honesty be a memorable experience.

    Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters
    Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters is the best game of the series outside of Japan. It’s good to know that its contents are enjoyable either by beginners who start their adventure or by those who played hundreds of hours in past versions and seek challenges that fit their skills. Having said that, the game could be sold as an expansion instead of a full priced game.

    Pepper Grinder isn't an indie that's going to shake up the industry; it's more of a cute little game that shows us that there's a lot of ground to be rediscovered in the genre.

    NEO: The World Ends With You
    NEO: The World Ends With You is Square Enix's bid to revive a game that achieved cult status. Unfortunately, this sequel does not dare to take risks and, consequently, it is not very endearing. With a slow start, after so much pressing buttons you will question whether to continue the adventure, fortunately, the pace of the game improves over time and the charisma of its characters will make you continue to the end.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate
    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is not a bad game, but the eagerness to release yearly iterations dilutes its quality in a sea of uninspired ideas, missed opportunities and an utter absence of innovation. Changing eras is OK and nobody calls Ubisoft's artistic skill into question, but that is no longer enough.

    Undisputed
    In the end, it's not about whether Undisputed is a good game or not, because it has solid elements and it holds its own, but it's the only game out there for over a decade and we have no choice. Without a doubt, and despite its flaws, it has foundations that inspire excitement about what could be done in the future and with a larger budget. If you're a boxing fan and you're already fed up with the last game from 2013, you might as well give Undisputed a chance, although keep in mind that it's not a AAA simulator and its edges are rough. If you don't have a problem with that, welcome back to the ring and let the bell ring.

    Life is Strange: Double Exposure
    Max Caulfield returns years after the events of the first Life is Strange to show how her life continued after Arcadia Bay. The new installment features an interesting dual-reality concept that significantly refreshes the plot. The downside is that the experience is short, and it seems that its new elements were underutilized.

    LEGO 2K Drive
    LEGO 2K Drive does not disappoint and delivers as a very enjoyable racing game. It doesn't aim to dethrone the genre leaders and follows its own path with a fun but somewhat brief story mode. It is a franchise with the potential to become something bigger if it expands the open-world experience, offers new stories, and undergoes natural growth without overusing microtransactions.

    Enotria: The Last Song
    Considering the studio was working on mobile games, this leap toward a Souls-like experience is a good one. Enotria: The Last Song has obvious weaknesses, but it also shines in moments and sections with the same sun that illuminates its lands. If you're not a fan of this type of game, this one can welcome you into a world full of challenges and suffering that's deeply satisfying. Aside from the bad and some of the flaky content, Enotria is a decent game, with its own soul and some innovative ideas, though it will undoubtedly be crucified by the most demanding players.

    Pirates Outlaws
    Pirates Outlaws is a good card game, you could even say that it is a great introductory proposal for those who want to give this type of experience in gaming a chance. The system is balanced, it is not kind when it does not have to be but it also lets luck do its thing. Of course, it is also a game with limitations and some details that are not overlooked, but it is definitely a game worth playing, having fun and getting away from the demands of the video games we are used to.

    Despite some serious design flaws, a few bugs and a neglected presentation, Kerbal Space Program remains as a unique proposition for young astronomers, sci-fi fans and space enthusiasts out there. The sheer amount of content, the level of realism, the scope and depth of the game offset the shortcomings but just barely. The port could've been so much better, though.

    FIFA 23 marks an end of an era. Fittingly, its synthesis of everything good and bad that the franchise had, especially in the last years. It is not at all a breakthrough sports game that will mark a before and after in history, but it is not a disaster either. FIFA 23 lives calmly in the mediocrity that EA made a standard.

    Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1
    This review and its respective rating have nothing to do with the video games found in this collection. Those already have their place in history and some are enshrined among the best video games ever created. From this perspective, Konami didn't deliver garbage, but it also didn't exploit the potential and opportunity there was to deliver a high-quality homage to its once-star franchise. However, the essence of Metal Gear remains intact and its high points are good enough to consider it in your library, maybe not today, but at some point.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    As is tradition, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers polished, addictive multiplayer, the best work from Treyarch since Black Ops II. However, the campaign disappoints by removing the traditional single-player experience, replacing it with uninspired co-op missions and a narrative disconnected from the series legacy. Zombies mode is ambitious but overly complex, prioritizing retention over fun. A split package: brilliant in multiplayer, but soulless in its campaign.

    As expected, 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil struggles to find its own identity when compared with FIFA 14, and beyond the fresh presentation, there's no evolution at all. The game has great controls and makes up for the lack of atmosphere in FIFA 14, but EA didn't put too much effort in the game modes, and the charm will fade immediately after the World Cup ends.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2
    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a good game that delivers in almost every aspect and definitely hits the target on the sniping sections.

    Agents of Mayhem
    Fundamentally Agents of Mayhem is a fun game, but Volition’s effort to achieve great ambitions at the shadow of Saints Row cut off the the potential to do more. Its roster of characters poses a charming personality and the perspective it gives us of Seoul looks amazing, but beyond the meticulous options in personalization and the fluid combat gameplay, there is a lack of cohesion and too much repetitiveness.

    Mafia: Definitive Edition
    The definitive edition of Mafia isn't perfect, but the experience is charming thanks to its ability to capture the soul of an exciting era to tell us one of the best crime stories in video games. The experience is enough to reinvigorate a game loved by many, but it falls short when it comes to reaching its full potential.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Games Series
    Despite the fact that it keeps the same core pillars from the astonishing first entry, which are raw situations and tough choices, Season Two of The Walking Dead falls a bit short in the writing department. The experience remains unique and emotional, just not as much as the first one.

    Tell Me Why: Chapter 1
    DontNot Entertainment presents a brotherhood story that, although entertaining, is rather simple. Tell My Why tackles Alyson and Taylor Ranon's journey in search of answers of their childhood filled with tears and tragedy. A recommended game to pass the time without complications on a boring afternoon but after finishing it, it will be forgotten.

    MARVEL Cosmic Invasion
    MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is undoubtedly a love letter to the beat 'em up genre and 90s nostalgia. However, that fidelity to the past is also its biggest limitation.

    Contra: Operation Galuga
    Contra: Operation Galuga stays true to its roots but makes changes to appeal to old and new players. The result is a good arcade experience that adapts to the player and appeals to nostalgia to convince classic game lovers. While it delivers on being fun and challenging, it fails in its presentation with soulless designs and a less-than-stellar technical side. It is ideal for fans of retro games but for action lovers there are better options to choose from.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles
    The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighter arena with a poor character roster at the time of its release, and an inorganic story mode. You will be forced to finish it only to see the cutscenes and unlock the characters, instead of exploring battle systems. But not everything is disappointing, as the art direction is incredible, with special attacks taken directly from the anime, and the inclusion of the original music is greatly appreciated.

    Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath
    Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath story and presentation feels and looks incredible. It's a real testament of how the narrative in a fighting game can evolve. However, this time the content offered in this package feels lacking compared with its high price point. The new characters are worth it but more novelties and additional fighters are needed to justify the purchase. Of course, the free update for all players is appreciated.

    Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
    Demand for Wooly World in any of its versions (Wii U or 3DS) to match the greatness of Yoshi’s Island or Yoshi’s World might seem to be asking too much, but the thing is that it has the potential to do so. What the game offers right now is enough to please Yoshi’s fans at its most, even if the rest of the players won’t get their expectations fulfilled. Still Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is a fun, adorable and enjoyable game, and one of the best in the platform genre that you can find on the 3DS.

    Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers
    Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers is a solid addition to the still thin game library of the Nintendo Switch. Sadly though, the new game modes feel sluggish and even flat-out mediocre due to the lack of emotion, making gamers wonder if paying $40 bucks for the experience is actually worth it.

    God Eater 2: Rage Burst
    God Eater 2: Rage Burst feels like a game that was made in a rush with no real purpose, instead of having a great story to tell, giving the player simple mechanics, nice pacing and an easy to understand character development. Because of all this the game clearly comes across as something you should not play. Give it a chance if you really love the franchise or did not play God Eater Resurrection, otherwise, just wait for it to change its price tag.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 fixes many of the problems that the first title left unattended and once again gives the player the opportunity to fix the Dragon Ball history. The game has a great amount of content which means many hours of gameplay. Fan service and nice storytelling will keep you going until you reach the very end. However, countless localization problems, recycled elements and senseless side-missions hurt the overall experience.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition offers solid and entertaining cooperative action. It is best played with like-minded friends that are willing to interact, communicate and orchestrate heists. Sadly though, the progression system demands a heavy time investment in order to unlock weapons, which may be an impediment to some players.

    STAR WARS: Squadrons is a very well-accomplished installment of the franchise. A complete surprise thanks to the effective combination of arcade action and hard simulation. However, not everything shines; the limited scope, in campaign and multiplayer, drags down what could be a solid entry in the franchise.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin will go down in history for being memorable for better and for worse. Many of its sections are a mess, but if you can get past its flaws and learn to enjoy them you'll find a game that will entertain you immensely. Especially if you love action RPGs with rewarding combat and progression systems.

    Crash Team Rumble
    Crash Team Rumble is a solid experience. The platforming is on par with the original games, while the combat is satisfying and works very well. The final result is fun and has potential. Unfortunately, the game as a service structure is unoriginal. There is only one main game mode and a limited number of characters, so the game gets repetitive quickly. If it had a free-to-play format, it would be an exciting release. However, as a $30 USD game, it's hard to recommend.
