    A triumph of raw substance over style, Legends of Eisenwald constantly wins over the heart of the RPG connoisseur despite its incompleteness thanks to its deep battle system and well crafted adventures. A great game for strategy experts.

    The LEGO Movie Videogame offers the same enjoyable formula from other LEGO games, but also some new mechanics, and every single aspect from the film, has been brought to this tie-in, including the catchy song. Having said that, the game also has new flaws when compared with others in the LEGO series, and in the end is less enjoyable than the movie.

    Just like its predecessor, Sludge Life 2 is more style than substance, and while it still looks and feels unique, it is repetitive and lacks something new to offer in terms of gameplay.

    Born of Bread ends up as a good RPG game and a fun experience. If you are not demanding with this type of proposals, it is an option to consider, but even more so if you have you have been distant from the genre because of the turn-based combat and everything that has to be done in the menus. In the end, this adventure made of bread serves as a good video game, remembering that there is a lot of value in turning to the past to bring it to the present in a proposal with its own soul.

    An amazing technical feat but a shell of a game in most respects, No Man's Sky excels at atmosphere and world-generation but its core mechanics are commonplace and unexciting as they come. Good, but not extraordinary by any means.

    A good balance between precision sniping and arcade elements, Sniper Elite III is hampered by a severe lack of content, ambition and depth, but remains nonetheless an enjoyable experience.

    Twelve Minutes show us why video games are a powerful medium to tell stories that cinema cannot. With great voice acting, outstanding creative decisions and original mechanics, Twelve Minutes is everything mystery games enthusiasts could ask for.

    Detective Pikachu is an ambitious proposal with an acceptable execution. Take the amazing world of Pokémon and give it an interesting twist. The game experience is accessible to everyone. However, it may be too easy for some players.

    Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is an enjoyable fighting title if you are looking for a casual experience. However, from a competitive standpoint, it lacks a solid combat system and almost all the bizarre fighters are unbalanced. It's a shame because this is a good looking adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's manga.

    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.

    We found The DioField Chronicle to be a fresh, interesting and entertaining strategy game. There are several details that could be polished, but in the end its strengths shine enough to be insignificant. We are talking about a game that genre enthusiasts will want to try.

    Cold, Cold Heart is an expansion that only Batman and Arkham Origins' lovers should play. It introduces an awesome thermal outfit for the Dark Knight and it allows the player to know Mr. Freeze's origins. Having said that, it doesn't really enhance the incredible freeflow combat system or add any new gadgets.

    Sonic Frontiers will be unable to return Sonic to the videogame Olympus, but it's not like it needs to. After all, the hedgehog has already transcended as a cultural icon in other fields of entertainment. What it does do is restore dignity to a franchise that went from the top to embarrassment. It's refreshing to try a Sonic that evokes the best moments of Sonic Adventure to remind us that SEGA's hedgehog is a gaming icon for a reason.

    LEGO Horizon Adventures achieves its primary goal: capturing the essence of Horizon Zero Dawn and blending it with LEGO's characteristic humor to deliver a charming and entertaining experience. While it shines through its beautiful visuals and enjoyable combat system, its linear structure and uninspired level design limit the variety, making the gameplay feel repetitive. Even so, it's a good entry point for embarking on Aloy's journey for the first time.

    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.

    Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash is nice and fun, with a sexual overtone that provides identity to the game but also gets in the way of the gameplay mechanics. It is clear that the game is aiming for a very specific audience but it could have achieved much more with a bit of moderation.

    Madden NFL 25 is far from the feat, but there is finally an improvement in one important area: gameplay and physics. If this is the way, in the coming years we could see the best version of the franchise in the next years. Of course, the presence of more content is desired, especially in terms of game modes and notable changes in modes such as Franchise and Superstar, but that would be naive knowing the slump from which the IP is emerging. In the end, and just condemning the constant and annoying Ultimate Team ads, we have a good football game for this year's season and that, in this case, is very good news.

    No One Lives Under the Lighthouse shows that the underground horror game scene is beginning to show up to expose its creations. The concept of a desolate place and what the same lighthouse represents in the immensity and darkness of the sea are enough to capture your interest and give you an experience different from the traditional.

    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.

    Star Ocean: Divine Force is a great role-playing game that arrives 15 years too late. It's a game that will keep you busy for hours, and a good effort to keep alive an lesser-known franchise.

    Unlike other entries in the LEGO series, such as LEGO Batman, in LEGO Jurassic World, collectable characters are irrelevant, there are just a few zones were you can actually use your dinosaurs and they lack activities. Bottom line, this game works better as a souvenir than a videogame.

    Hyrule Warriors Legends is a worthy adaptation of the original game. It has a nice amount of content and features beloved characters from the Zelda series; however, the performance issues hinder the overall experience. It may be a repetitive game but all Dynasty Warriors games are like this, so you should not be surprised by this particular trait.

    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.

    Without a doubt, the best thing about this remake is its presentation, which has been carefully crafted. We feel completely satisfied about the way the developer managed the difficulty of the game: the last level of the remake was more demanding than any of the original levels.

    A forgotten yet interesting setting, World War I receives its first full-fledged realistic FPS with Verdun, a solid but perhaps limited game that recreates trench warfare nicely but falls short in some content aspects. Definitely worth a try for the historical game enthusiasts.

    Yo-Kai Watch 2 works great for someone that never played the first iteration; however, those who did will receive the same experience with no new game mechanics or elements that provide a different feeling. Whit no animation upgrades and a corny narrative, Yo-Kai Watch 2 is an RPG that took one step forward and two —or maybe three— steps back by not contributing with something fresh.

    With its successes and its failures, MotoGP 21 is a delivery enough for fans of sports motorcycling and has the necessary content to spend hours and hours enjoying it. The career mode shows that this type of simulator is on the right track and perhaps with the right support and investment, we will soon have a realistic experience that, until now, only exists in our imagination.

    Decarnation has an excellent story that makes you feel a lot of emotions to keep playing it for hours, but the gameplay mechanics and parts are a little stained in the painting.

    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.

    An atmospheric experience more than a game itself, Scorn is a desolate travel reminiscent of old school adventure games like Myst.
