Even though it seems that the developers only tweaked small bits of the game, like Luigi's movement or the length of some levels, at the end those small changes really impact the whole experience.

A beautiful and breathtaking puzzle platformer full of heart, charm and quality level design. A game everyone should have on their radar.

Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra turns a complex genre like the MOBA into an accessible and entertaining experience without losing depth in the process, while also paying tribute to Akira Toriyama’s work.

There are areas to address and improvements to consider, but overall, EA Sports FC 24 is a solid soccer offering that you won't be surprised to see rise to the top right away.

Resident Evil 3 is a different monster compared to last year release. While it lost some of his tetric atmosphere, a sense or urgency is gained in the form of Nemesis, a hulkin powerhose behind your heels.

Little Nightmares is a small game with a really great atmosphere. It may be best described as an early Tool video with a French stop motion short film scored by Danny Elfman and a pinch of a twisted version of Spirited Away. This mixture gives the game a lot of personality and makes it unique. Character design is simply superb and really adds to the overall eerie feeling of the game.

In short, Little Nightmares is a great interactive experience that is difficult to find anywhere else.
