    SNK vs Capcom: SVC CHAOS returns straight from the arcades as a re-release with few new features. A game that went unnoticed but shines for its characters and solid control. SNK vs Capcom: SVC CHAOS has a broken balance and that can't be changed but playing it is a lot of fun. The opportunity to play it online gives it a lot of value and fortunately it works perfectly. Other than that, this version has little else to offer and the game is starting to feel old. A few image tweaks and other improvements would make this game more valuable in its comeback.

    Legions of Steel is a recreation of the classic tabletop game from the 90s. It excels at conveying the original feel of the game thanks to its well implemented mechanics. At its core, Legions of Steel is a tactical turn-based action experience that rewards the top quality strategist. It may display a simplistic appearance, but Legions of Steel is a challenge for veterans of the genre.

    An ugly, banal experience, The Impossible Game is pretty much a forgettable game; a cash-in of the recent mini-game mania that excels at nothing.

    An exercise in tedium, Farming Simulator 15 has a very laudable compromise with the recreation of agriculture, but its problematic progression, poor presentation and general dullness detract from its genuine potential as the best simulator on the subject.

    Crimsonland is fun at the beginning, but it won't stand out from other top-down shooters in the genre. The campaign turns very repetitive and despite its conspicuous love for classic dual-stick gameplay, the formula feels a bit dated in this day and age, especially when compared with the likes of Dead Nation.

    Frame rate issues, lag, poor graphics and an excessively complicated control scheme, will make this trip back to Pandora one you will want to forget.

    Simply put, Biomutant is an enjoyable but medicore RPG that tries to bite off more than it can chew. It has good ideas and a beautiful open world, but it fails at execution. Experiment 101 showed they have great talent, and I think their next project can be great. Sadly, Biomutant falls short.

    Windbound shines at first glance for its beautiful landscapes and a mix of survival themes with good sea-navigation mechanics, yet it falls short putting these ingredients into action. It's a game that becomes fun if you manage to overcome the learning curve, but it becomes very tedious and frustrating after a few hours.

    8-Bit Boy gathers elements from various classic platformers, such as Super Mario Bros., without making a fresh contribution of its own. The generic design results in predictable levels and its controls will be a real headache for the players.

    Felix The Cat returns in a two-pack of platformers from 30 years ago. The nostalgia hit is evident but not enough to justify its price. It's appreciated that Konami has taken an interest in unearthing a gem of its era, but the treatment of the package is very poor. The lack of extras or improvements on a technical level is somewhat disappointing. It's a nice attempt to bring back Felix The Cat, but it's not the tribute he deserves.

    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.

    SimCity is a fun and addictive game that offers an intuitive simulation interface that will help you create thriving cities that can interact and trade between each other. Even though it's launch was smeared due to server overload, once you start creating, you won't be able to stop.

    An emotional experience, NERO is also a brief and expensive game, hampered by a myriad of technical issues and uninspired mechanics.

    Shallow and brief, Super Lucky's Tale is a forgettable adventure, although it has some potential but nothing in it shines.

    To say that Forspoken is a disappointment may seem harsh, but it's also not something that's far from the truth. It's not that Luminous Productions made a bad game, they just put out one that isn't particularly good either. It will be a run-of-the-mill release that will earn some fans for its strengths, but will fail to transcend.

    Moons of Madness is a game whose parts do not end up integrating. The proposal is not bad and it has interesting moments that will provoke the worst of fears, however, its failures and limitations end up acting against it.

    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.

    As an unequivocal sign of modern times, Destiny continues to evolve and change. What at launch was a solid but nonetheless forgettable experience, now expands and improves upon the criticism provided by the gamer community. The Dark Below is not there yet, but we are approaching excellence.

    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.

    With a lackluster touch control scheme and a poor implementation of the rating and objective systems, Lemmings Touch feels like a missed opportunity on the developers side considering the emblematic nature of the franchise.

    Various Daylife is an RPG originally designed for mobiles with the intention of being played for short periods of time. It has well-designed battle mechanics, and despite trying to provoke a sense of routine, players with little patience for casual systems will leave it after a couple of hours.

    Chocobo GP is an entertaining game and is good karting at its core, however to unlock most of its content the user is required to play through its single player story mode. This makes the game feel very limited, especially in a genre whose main essence is to compete with other users. Still, the characters are charismatic, references to Final Fantasy and Chocobo spin offs bring a smile. The strategic mechanics of using items and the unique abilities of each racer give depth to the gameplay. The tracks are varied and fun to ride. The tunes are catchy, and the game is generally nice looking. This game is recommended for fans of Final Fantasy, for those looking for a future-evolving online experience, or for fans of Chocobo Racing on the first PlayStation, but it is worth noting that, In the end, Chocobo GP is a delightful experience that in many ways feels half-baked.

    Even if it doesn’t look as good as the original, the Secret of Mana remake is a fun and exciting game. By taking the best of its source material and making some adjustments, Square Enix brings us the most accessible version of the beloved action RPG.

    Saints Row is an experience with peculiar contrasts Volition truly tried to reinvent the franchise for a new generation, but not wanting to betray its roots it was unable to evolve in the way it needed to be truly relevant in the midst of 2022...It is an entertaining and fun experience that many will have a good time with, of that we have no doubt. However, it has clear flaws and antiquated systems, so it will probably be remembered without much shame or glory.

    The solid combat mechanics and quality voice acting are the only things that this game has going for it. Everything else feels either disjointed, shallow or out of place. Lords of Shadow 2, as a whole, feels as a mediocre product with some graphical hiccups. In the end, the sequel destroys the good memories we had from the first iteration.

    Sonic: Lost World is a weird mixture of great times, mediocrity, joy and annoyance, it should be considered an enjoyable and honest experience that is plagued by inconsistencies and bad design decisions: the result is something that might be loved by some, but should not be considered a real example of the franchise.

    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.

    A good choice for users who did not play the original title, as it keeps its excellent soundtrack, accessible gameplay, easy customization and a good implementation of 3D stereoscopic effect. Unfortunately, it doesn't add outstanding stuff to the mix to justify a second purchase at full price besides its compatibility with amiibos and the C-Stick on the New 3DS.

    Sword Art Online may not be the game fans deserve, but it is at least a nice iteration that they will enjoy. It does not have the greatest game mechanics but its simplicity should appeal to those curious players that would like to taste this game. You will give it a try for the main campaign but stay for the multiplayer experience.
