    Despite its flaws, It Takes Two is a special and highly polished game. It is full of surprises, new mechanics and a lot of heart. A must play for fans of co-op games.

    Gnosia is a science fiction graphic novel with an entertaining, magical and dangerous story. If you are a master of persuasion and can charm anyone, this game is for you.

    Persona 5 Strikers is a pleasant surprise that renews the way games in the musou style are made and directs it towards the RPG genre. It may arrive without much unbridled action and spectacular movements, but integrates an element of strategy, and character development with a well-paced story. In all, it's an outstanding teenage road story that breaks the mold. We have no doubt Persona 5 fans will enjoy it from start to finish.

    Super Mario 3D World is one of the best platformers ever. Period. It is a formidable testament in creative level design that shows everything a Mario Bros. game should be. Bowser’s Fury is an interesting experiment that tries to take the 3D World engine into an open world. The result is fun, but lacks the polish that made 3D World a classic. A must own game for Switch owners.

    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.

    Little Nightmares II arrives as a sequel that delivers a dark adventure full of puzzles and feels like a journey through a charming nightmare. Being that it is so similar to its predecessor, you should also expect the same setbacks, such as short duration, clunky controls and poor replayability.

    HITMAN 3 gives a step forward to close the World of Assassination trilogy with a bang. Its and excellent game that fulfills the potentials of its ideas. Is not a perfect kill, but it is a well done job.

    Ironically, the futuristic theme and the year in which it debuted, 2020, makes PACER a beautiful journey to the past we aspired at the end of the 90s.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is here to indulge fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Its frenetic action-packed system is smoothly enjoyed and the narrative helps keep you glued to control. Unfortunately, it is not perfect and suffers from technical problems that, although not serious, affect the experience, especially in cooperative mode. A good option if you like the Musou genre.

    Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory takes advantage of the emotional mastery of Tetsuya Nomura's work and offers us an uncomplicated rhythm game. An entertaining option that was able to take advantage of the world and the charisma of an established franchise.

    A fun and well designed platformer that lacks the charm to make a long standing impact. You should try it if you want a good and family friendly game for PlayStation.

    Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a solid installment from the friendly neighbor that shows us that the city of Manhattan has a lot of potential to offer new and varied stories of this young Spidey.

    Bugsnax is a charming and creative game that can goes beyond its meme status by respecting the player’s intelligence with fun mechanics and an interesting plot. The game makes you think outside the box and let’s you have fun catching weird animals. I hope that after its release, everyone starts talkin' 'bout Bugsnax.

    Kirby Fighters 2 is a fun game without great aspirations that lacks content and gameplay. Despite that, it is very enjoyable and a good option as an alternative to other brawls on the market.

    Quality of life improvements, the new UI, and even Historical Battle mode, are additions highly appreciated; however, they are not enough justification to return to Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, unless you are already a die hard fan.

    In the end, as a football fan, I can't find a better expression that synthesizes FIFA 21 than the shout for a goal that was disallowed by the referee.

    STAR WARS: Squadrons is a very well-accomplished installment of the franchise. A complete surprise thanks to the effective combination of arcade action and hard simulation. However, not everything shines; the limited scope, in campaign and multiplayer, drags down what could be a solid entry in the franchise.

    Toys For Bob did a great job of taking the essence of Crash and adapting it to modern times. The result is a platformer who proudly carries the legacy of a legendary trilogy, but does enough to feel new and not be a simple homage to the past.

    The definitive edition of Mafia isn't perfect, but the experience is charming thanks to its ability to capture the soul of an exciting era to tell us one of the best crime stories in video games. The experience is enough to reinvigorate a game loved by many, but it falls short when it comes to reaching its full potential.

    Beyond the controversy, NBA 2K21 manages to save itself only because of the special attention that the development team puts on its playability since the game does not offer anything at the moment other than its already known modes, which are beginning to being flagged by the community as old and outdated, as well as an online component that got eaten up by microtransactions.

    Spiritfarer's journey fulfills from start to finish. No matter how sad its premise is, it is something you must experience, especially for its premise that recognizes that there is a beginning and an end, but what matters is what happens along the way.

    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.

    Sports titles that choose to get away from reality to deliver a fantasy game often sacrifice sophisticated mechanics for more freedom in the game. The case of Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is no exception. It is an attractive game that does not seek to be a faithful portrayal of soccer, but an arcade experience. Although it takes this approach, it offers many customization options while incorporating fantasy mechanics that delivers a game system which is rewarding and sometimes frustrating and unfair due to some gameplay design issues.

    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.

    The current state of Marvel's Avengers is not much different from how we find Bruce Banner in the game's campaign. They are both in a bad position and they don't shine as brightly as they should. However, they also have the potential to be something bigger, stronger and special. In Marvel’s Avengers you will find a brilliant really good campaign and a competent looter multiplayer, but Crystal Dynamics still has work to do.

    Remaking games is not easy, but once again, Activision and Vicarious Visions deliver a great experience. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 fell as good as its original versions, but at the same time, they adopt some things that the franchise learned along the way. Is nice to see that such a beloved series came back in such a good way.

    DontNot Entertainment presents a brotherhood story that, although entertaining, is rather simple. Tell My Why tackles Alyson and Taylor Ranon's journey in search of answers of their childhood filled with tears and tragedy. A recommended game to pass the time without complications on a boring afternoon but after finishing it, it will be forgotten.
