    Draugen
    As an immersive experience, Draugen is a pleasant surprise for those who seek to contemplate, explore and enter the reconstruction of a story of drama and tragedy. Although its limits are evident, Red Thread Games knew how to make the most of its resources, delivering a work that promises to be the beginning of great projects for the future. Graavik is a beautiful place, the soundtrack is impeccable and the story is very interesting, it is definitely an experience you have to live.

    Call of Duty: Vanguard
    Is Call of Duty: Vanguard a good game? It depends. If it is your first Call of Duty, it will be one of the best experiences in your life. However, if Vanguard is your nineteenth Call of Duty you will find a visually impressive, yet hollow, campaign, a multiplayer that soon becomes routine, and a disappointing zombie mode.

    Dead or Alive 6
    Small additions to gameplay still manage to keep Dead or Alive 6 as a solid alternative in the fighting genre. However, much of its appeal has vanished in order to fit a gargantuan season pass that betrays its collecting soul.

    Dread Templar
    I liked my time with Dread Templar, especially when the game took off and began to offer a challenge on par with the best exponents of the young retro FPS subgenre. On the other hand, I think it needed a bit of work to really stand out, perhaps by handling the upgrade system or the boss battles in a different way. In any case, Dread Templar is a good game that understands the classic fundamentals of the genre and contains adrenaline-pumping moments in polished and emotional combat.

    Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
    Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a great fighting game with an ugly appearance. The main adjustments to the classic formula provide intense combats and many choices for creative players.

    Pokemon Scarlet
    Pokémon Scarlet & Violet manages to deliver a sense of freedom and has gone from being a traditional JRPG to a genuine open world game. It's nice to choose a path on this adventure, but the game maintains his linear approach through the experience. Unfortunately, it has several technical problems in that do not let it stand out. However, its is the first step of the renewal that the franchise sorely lacks.

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
    They say old habits die hard, and that's precisely what stains Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. We have a game that knows how to capitalize on the franchise it's based on to deliver a product that does enough to distinguish itself from other releases. Despite having several moments of quality and clever design, the overall quality suffers due to outdated mission design, as well as a dull, hollow, and timid story that shows a lot but says very little.

    Battletoads
    As a game and entertainment product, Battletoads is a safe bet, easy to consume and accessible to all audiences, so it is definitely a title that you can give a try to on your Xbox One.

    Battlefield Hardline
    You have to commend Visceral Games for trying something new. Sadly, though, Battlefield Hardline ends up being a lackluster mix of concepts, none of which actually shines with a light of its own. For every single-player or multiplayer idea in Battlefield Hardline, there's a better equivalent somewhere else, including Battlefield 4.

    Just Dance 2018
    Just Dance 2018 is an update to the popular Ubisoft franchise with more songs as its main attraction. The gameplay has not changed much and although we appreciate add-ons such as Kid and Double Rumble modes, you will not find new mechanics that transform the gameplay we all know.

    Somerville
    Somerville takes inspiration from 2 great modern classics, Limbo and Inside, however, it falls short to offer a deep contemplative experience. Despite some technical difficulties, it offers great value as a visually compelling puzzle adventure.

    Shakedown Hawaii
    A bittersweet successor to an indie classic. Shakedown: Hawaii is a fun game that pokes fun at capitalism and unethical business practices that, in the end, falls flat.

    Disney Magical World
    Disney Magical World lacks challenge and appeal, even for a game that's aimed towards kids. The game features lots of content, however, most of it is reused many times, and that turns this “magical adventure” into a tedious and boring experience.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition
    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.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Sweep the Board!
    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!" is an interesting proposal for manga and anime fans who enjoy party games. The title features boards inspired by important locations from Demon Slayer and the saga's characteristic humor. Sadly, the minigames catalog is poor, and its battles against demons, while intense and enjoyable, cannot save the lack of variety that condemns it to a repetitive experience.

    Tales of Xillia 2
    Tales of Xillia 2 combines the best of eastern and western cultures and consolidates itself as an RPG that appeals to hardcore fans of the series, thanks to its compelling story, attractive combat system, the decision-making mechanics and its anime-like aesthetics.

    Samba de Amigo: Party Central
    Samba de Amigo: Party Central is all about delivering endless hours of pure fun, whether you're flying solo or partying it up with friends. With spot-on motion controls, a wide range of catchy tunes, the freedom to play wherever the mood strikes, and a user-friendly interface that won't leave you scratching your head, this exclusive Nintendo Switch game is simply a blast.

    DOOM VFR
    This specific vision of DOOM is not compatible with PlayStation VR. Mainly due a horrific controls scheme that breaks everything DOOM stood for: a frenetic combat ballet that uses both weapons and movement.

    Tomodachi Life
    Despite its relaxing gameplay and great Japanese sense of humor, it can be repetitive at times and even disappointing for those who expect something resembling Animal Crossing.

    Far Cry New Dawn
    Far Cry expansions were great ways in which developers could try something new and wild. Sadly, New Dawn is not the case. The game feels safe, simple and generic. It's time to let the franchise rest and let some new ideas flow.

    Days Gone
    Bend Studio delivered a great narrative game, innovative mechanics, addictive gameplay, a very well-considered progression curve, great audio design, stunning graphics, and it's very fun to play. The hordes of the game are something that we've never seen and are simply amazing, an impressive technological display that's not just surprising but a lot of fun. Days Gone is a very welcome addition to the PlayStation classics library.

    Just Dance 2025 Edition
    Just Dance 2025 Edition is an update that adds 40 new songs from various genres, so it is a good option to try with family and friends. Sadly, there is not much more to say about it.

    LEGO Marvel's Avengers
    LEGO Marvel's Avengers will make you smile with tons of content, fan service and its tongue-in-cheek tone if you are a kid or an otherwise obsessive fan of the franchise, if not, you will grow tired of its repetitive formula and design flaws very soon.

    Farpoint
    Farpoint is weak as a shooter but strong as one of the most complete PS VR experiences. Playing it with DualShock 4 is acceptable but definitively the best way to shoot aliens is with the terrific PS VR Aim Controller. If you put aside the boring level design you’ll have pretty good shooting action with the additional challenges.

    Melbits World
    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.

    Lonesome Village
    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.

    Driveclub
    Sony's attempt to compete against similar offerings in the market. Driveclub is so visually driven that it looks like they forgot about all the other features people love about driving games.

    Hohokum
    Authentic, visually stunning and with one of the best soundtracks of the year, Hohokum is definitely a surprise. It's a shame that below that colorful surface, lays a dull game with confusing elements that undermine an otherwise great experience.
