    Lonesome Village it’s a great hybrid between games like The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. Sometimes it tries to be different, but in some areas the effort it’s not good enough to make us forget about the other games.

    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.

    LawBreakers' greatest attribute lies in its great low-gravity combat paired with a solid roster of characters. Having said that, the game modes lack any creativity, which results in a game that doesn't have enough charisma to define itself.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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 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.

    Nocturnal is a compact proposal, to the point and with interesting mechanics in terms of combat and puzzles. It is far from the great exponents of the genre, but it bets on some original elements that can undoubtedly attract an audience that does not want to complicate itself with the rigid, demanding and absorbing structure of a pure and simple Metroidvania.

    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.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD won't satisfy every fan of the series, but it is a good offer that deserves a try, specially because it is a spin-off. Type-0 HD has minor flaws, but thanks to its interesting history, formidable soundtrack and large amount of characters, missions and past references, it offers great replay value, a rare quality among games nowadays.

    It is not as daring or clever as Blood Dragon, but still, Valley of the Yetis is a fairly decent expansion, with a whole new area to explore, new mechanics and fresh activities.

    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.

    Even with its flaws, Cities: Xbox Skyline One Edition is a worthy representative of the genre and while it does not have the reaches that the PC version, it does maintain the depth. You can easily spend hours in front of the TV correcting small details or building major improvements in your city.

    Dead Rising 3 is still the same fun, over the top, zombie slashing, open world game we learned to love on Xbox One. Unfortunately, unless you have a high end PC gaming rig, you will have frame rate and gameplay issues. But if you do have one, you will have a blast killing everything in sight.

    Despite its simplicity and details in terms of gameplay, Slipstream is a proposal that fulfills its mission, paying homage to OutRun, and has enough detail to make a trip to the past and have a good nostalgic and fun time.

    This Tales of Hearts remake does not live up to the PS Vita graphical standards, but beyond that, you will find a nice RPG with an easy to understand combat system and a challenging experience fit for any skill level. Nevertheless, the core of this game is the relationship between characters and how the story unfolds; from funny to emotional moments, any JRPG fan will enjoy and love this adventure.

    Despite its simplicity, Sreamride is a lot of fun, especially for those patient enough to create an attraction. Screamride could have a bright future if the community wants it to, and as long as the creative effort keeps going. If you are looking for boundless fun and want to put your imagination to the test, give this game a chance, and share with the world the rollercoaster of your dreams.

    Melbits World offers an experience that can be attractive to a family, specially to children. Despite some flaws and although it has no replay value, it represents an interesting option for gatherings and leisure time.

    LEGO Bricktales is a creative concept that takes advantage of the brand on which it is based. The way it transported us back to childhood to reconnect with our inner child and remember how we build fantastic things is brilliant. We highly recommend it for anyone who wants to relax for a while.

    The foundations are fun, however inFAMOUS Second Son suffers from a lack of variety when it comes to combat and the missions become dull after a while. Aside from the gorgeous new updated visuals and impeccable performance, there are no signs of game design evolution. Next time, we want to interact with the beautiful city in a way worthy of the new generation of consoles.

    The definitive version of SAO's videogame adaptation, Re: Hollow Fragment suffers from an identity crisis being on PS4, but shines overall with its loyalty to the series and its visual novel elements.

    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.

    After 15 years of absence, Mario Strikers: Battle League returns with a competitive approach. The best part is its multiplayer mode and deep mechanics, which make every match a challenge. It's a shame that its content is sparse at launch day but it's a very fun and frantic game that can improve with future updates.

    Gotham Knights has good ideas, unfortunately, never reaches its true potential. The combat is fun, but feels less agile than previous Batman games. Also, the open world is full of repetitive missions and the RPG elements are insignificant. However, we had fun with the story, charismatic characters and playing with each hero.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda is a game that forgot how to be a Mass Effect game. While it fails to deliver a compelling narrative and has little to offer, it’s the combat and planetary exploration elements that hold together this contrasting experience. The result is a game drifting away in the open and cold space.

    The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is a re-release that delivers the best and most complete version of this game. While the graphical changes do little to impress, the extra content is valuable for those hungry for more of Naughty Dog's grim universe. That said, it feels solely like it exists purely for commercial continuity, to capitalize on the hype of the HBO series and give another sales boost to Naughty Dog's video game.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix offers a great opportunity to live the beginnings of an epic saga. Even if it didn't include Chain of Memories and 358/2, this would be a great experience for all those that missed its launch 10 years ago and for those who did play it and fell in love with its story and characters.
