    The lack of revolutionary game design turns this into a hard-to-swallow experience without the appropriate mindset. An interesting effort nonetheless.

    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.

    Gorgeous at times and frustrating at others, Mulaka is a beautiful journey with an important social message hidden in a format that is too ambitious.

    Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series is a good starting point to explore that galaxy far, far away through virtual reality. However, the main value lies in the presentation and the value of the source material, rather than the game itself.

    Exoprimal is a mixed experience. Its simple concept offers immediate fun, as defeating dozens of dinosaurs with the exosuits is very satisfying during the first couple of hours. Unfortunately, the combat system is unable to sustain the entire experience and avoid the feeling of monotony.

    A solid re-take on the classic Pac-Man concept, now with infinite scrolling levels and extra-glitchyness. Despite having multiplayer and free skins on consoles and PC, the game feels repetitive and samey. If you are looking for a more interesting modern variation of Pac-Man, you are better off with the Championship Edition.

    Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is a solid and very fast fighter that focuses its attention on delivering an experience that is competitive and fun. His faults are the lack of content, and the much-needed voice talent to bring to life the iconic roster of characters. All-Star Brawl can be improved but it seems that the game is not finished yet.

    Arcade racing is what has defined Need for Speed since its creation, and Payback is not an exception to this rule. However, due unbalanced progression and the irrelevant single player campaign, this new iteration seem rather uninspired and lackluster.

    When it's about to get better, The Order: 1886 ends abruptly and leaves us with a bitter taste. Its unimaginative level design, boring lycan combat and substandard pacing almost ruin the whole experience, had it not been for the best visuals on the console right now and great weapon design. The IP has potential, and we hope that Ready at Dawn learns from its mistakes. They've got something interesting here.

    ReCore has some fresh ideas, but an uninspired world, unbearable loading screens and some technical anomalies, gravely undermine what could have been a good experience.

    A heavier, slower version of Dark Souls, this gritty dungeon crawler succeeds in creating a distinctive feel but fails to achieve mechanical perfection and coherent design.

    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.

    Murdered: Soul Suspect is like a diamond in the rough: a dead detective, with supernatural powers, who has to solve his own assassination is an attractive plot. Having said that, Airtight Games didn't know how tap into those features to deliver what could have been an excellent game about finding clues and solving crime scenes. At least the game delivers a somewhat interesting story with an unpredictable ending.

    It lacks polish and you may find no reason to come back once its completed, however Contrast is an entertaining and original experience that dares to try something a bit different.

    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.

    Mafia II stood out during the last generation of consoles for all the right reasons. This is why it is not surprising that in 2020 it is as entertaining as it was before. Sadly, Mafia II: Definitive Edition turns out to be a remaster that is far from reaching the heights of the original. It is not a catastrophic product at any means, but Mafia fans deserve more.

    Beyond: Two Souls didn't live up to the expectations created by its huge production values. It is not a good game or a good movie and neither its resolution nor its framerate will change that. Thus, the virtue behind this new release is to appear better than it really is.

    Minecraft Legends falls short of the quality and depth of its predecessor and leaves much to be desired for those seeking a more complex and strategic challenge.

    Despite its depth and good looks, Nom Nom Galaxy falls victim to repetitive mechanics, frustrating mobility and slow progression. Fortunately, this soup is cheap enough as to seduce you if you love factories or robots.

    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.

    Every punch and combo delivered in Zeno Clash II will make you appreciate it a bit more and, although the game suffers from a poorly developed narrative and feels a bit unpolished, you'll find yourself enjoying a really good time, especially if you liked the first game.

    God Mode offers an easy way to kill some time. Combat is fun and the narrator's sarcastic voice really helps to tie the experience together, although you might not feel compelled to play it for more than a few hours.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse serves as good entry point for those who have never played a title in the series, due to efficient tutorials, tons of fan service and an accessible battle system. Now, if what you want is a great fighting game with Goku and his friends, you might as well look somewhere else, because Xenoverse is more of an online RPG game.

    Tales of Zestiria celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series with an ordinary game bent on keeping the old school formula of the JRPG genre alive.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India is not a bad game, just not different enough from its predecessor to stand out. On top of that there is an uninspired presentation, dull story and repetitive mechanics.

    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.

    God of War and God of War II from the God of War Collection are awesome games, but the touchpad implementations added to the PlayStation Vita pack lack creativity and feel more like forced features than useful ones. The God of War Collection for PlayStation 3 is way better than this new version for the handheld platform.

    In general, this is another platformer like any other out there. However, its presentation is enough to make you have it under you weirdest games list, even if the game experience is not that meaningful.

    Exploring Eos on VR is nice but fishing games are not for everyone. Monster of the Deep works well most of the time but could offer deeper gameplay and better controls to justify its price tag.

    Every Harry Potter fan has wished to feel the air on his face while flying on a broom at full speed in search of the golden Snitch. Harry Potter Quidditch Champions succeeds in fulfilling that dream halfway, because it conveys the excitement of the matches but turns off after a few hours. The lack of content and game modes make the experience become repetitive, plus the campaign is short and the rewards are not worth it. If you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber give it a try and judge for yourself.
