    While not an actual representation of the Olympic Winter games, Road to the Olympics new races are an interesting addition that fits very well with the core mechanics of the game. The contents of Steep have proven to be expanded positively over the course of a year, resulting in the best time to give it a try.

    The return of CODE VEIN is neither triumphant nor innovative, but it redeems itself somewhat by correcting the fundamental problems that were evident in the first installment. The exploration of a mirror world 100 years apart is interesting, and although cliché, it works to make the story more entertaining and easier to digest. If this is your first time exploring the genre and you like anime, it's a good place to start.

    While it suffers in aspects of level design and uninspired use of Garrett's inventory, Thief delivers a unique stealth experience that lives up to the original game, but not quite.

    Strider will satisfy those who didn´t play the arcade game, but it suffers under its repetitive design, lack of enemy variety, generic look and problematic input.

    Remember Me is a game that tries to be a lot of things, but fails in its execution, the only noteworthy thing is its story, and even that really captivates you until the end, due to an unpredictable twist.

    Not a movie, nor a videogame, David Cage's Beyond: Two Souls lacks the defining elements of both kinds of media. On one hand, we have confusing and obnoxious controls; on the other, a plot full of movie clichés and weak characters. While the game demonstrates great art work and conceptualization, its frequent glitches and frame rate issues ruin some of its best moments. At the end, Beyond: Two Souls does not fulfill the promise made by Heavy Rain, and it remains as a flawed, albeit interesting experiment.

    Destroy All Humans! honor its past, and if you place yourself in your 2005-self, you'll have fun, but in the end, this game ends up not being a remake, but a relaunch with a nice visual skin.

    Life is Strange: Remastered Collection maintains the original aesthetics of the original games while making some welcome, if somewhat conservative, improvements. Visually and content-wise, this is the best version of both games, although it should be mentioned that the visual improvements are not homogeneous. That said, it is a great recommendation for those who want to revisit these games, those who want to get the most complete edition of them, but above all, those who missed them the first time around.

    No Place For Bravery it’s a great action-souls adventure with fun and challenging combat, but its technical issues can be very frustrating and ruin the experience for some players.

    Every Naruto game is an interesting ride on the adventures of the animated series, but not every one of them turns out to be a great gaming experience and Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the perfect example. If you're an anime fanatic there is no doubt that you'll enjoy the combat style and the wide variety of combos, but if you want to live the emotion of the show, maybe you have to keep watching it since the story mode can get extremely tedious.

    Glyph brings together the simplest form of platforms and puzzles in one package. It is an entertaining experience that shines for its simplicity. Although it falls short in scope, it fulfills the most important thing: is fun to play.

    Mario Golf Super Rush has solid golf mechanics, but a lack of content and charisma transform it into an unforgettable experience.

    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.

    The Sims 4 has solid foundations, but it feels like it isn't finished yet. Having said that, new gameplay qualities open fresh possibilities for the player.

    Madden NFL 23 is not the MVP, but it is a departure from the terrible games of recent years and perhaps this is the future of the franchise; if so, welcome to the promised land Touchdown!

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake represents a setback compared to what was seen in the remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom, which should be the standard, especially since this is a game with an "original" proposal. Without problems, it can be an introductory experience to gaming for children and youth audiences, but outside of that group and if you are not a fan of the series, better watch an episode or its movies.

    Yes it is hard as nails, and yes it has some weird moments when it comes to animations, but anyone who invests a few hours into EA Sports UFC will find a deeply gratifying and fair sports experience. A must have for any MMA fan, not so much for anyone who looks for an easy win. EA Sports UFC demands dedication but that isn't a bad thing.

    A luscious display of absurdity and Americana, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is a solid pack of turn-based strategy and tactic action with plenty of content, a humorous storyline and the best lessons from one of the masters of the genre, Intelligent Systems. Totally recommended.

    Immortals of Aveum introduces some captivating concepts, albeit with a few hiccups in execution. The combat system can be a bit perplexing, and the narrative takes its sweet time to get going without delivering the expected excitement. Additionally, technical performance issues crop up. Nevertheless, our time spent with this single-player game wasn't without its charms. The world of Aveum is undeniably beautiful, and the combat system, while flawed, manages to be entertaining and holds promise. Perhaps a follow-up installment could refine these elements and address the game's shortcomings.

    At first Blair Witch knows how to present an effective horror atmosphere, but subsequently offers too much of the same and proceeds to deconstruct said atmosphere.

    Final Fantasy Explorers works well as an entry-level experience for anyone looking for something like Monster Hunter. It may not have a plot to follow, but the gameplay value rests on its multiplayer, as well as on its monster and weapon crafting.

    Super Mega Baseball 4 stays on safe ground, improves where it needs to, and ends up offering a fun experience that's deep and challenging enough to suit all types of players.

    Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle seems to be at the level of the first installment, although at times it suggests that it is falling behind. Unlike Daymare 1998, we are faced with a proposal that got caught up in its attempt to pay homage and its desire to do something original. Despite this, it can be a passable old-school horror game experience.

    This is a colorful metroidvania game. It's a shame that the level design is just as subpar and frustrating as the enemies in the game itself. The art direction is also a strange mix of 2D and 3D elements that ends up feeling inconsistent. A good effort but there are much better games in the genre.

    Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was never an exceptional platformer - we can even accuse it of being generic - and that remains in its Rehydrated version. What also does not change in this remake is that it is a project that makes good use of its source material. It also looks better with much needed graphical upgrades. A good remake for a decent game.

    An unorthodox and wacky shooter, Battleborn oozes style and charisma, but its deep and original game-system is not for everyone. The game will give a lot to those who can understand it, but might be a little misunderstood by those who are looking for instant gratification.

    Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is yet another licensed anime game that does not live up to its expectations. While the presentation is a success, lousy storytelling, a broken battle system and dull dialogues ruin the overall experience. The game has no rhythm or anything that makes it worthy of your attention.

    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.

    A weak and uninspired entry for the franchise, The Hobbit presents a poor puzzle design riddled with annoying input problems while being deprived of the charm and ingenuity that characterizes other LEGO games.

    The Isle of Armor is an expansion that does things right, but in the end it feels like an underwhelming experience. The main story leaves a lot to be desired and I can't help but think that some of its improvements should be on the base game.
