In Wanted: Dead, gameplay is frustrating, levels are the same and generic, there is no variety of enemies, combat possibilities are very limited and the music and atmosphere are forgettable.

Peaky Blinders Mastermind could have been a great prequel and introductory game to the series with good puzzle design or it could have been a great real-time tactics game. But it never made the decision. It is neither one nor the other.

The First Descendant offers a good looking, solid and fast experience. The characters are charming and well designed, the bosses are spectacular battles and the progression is robust. The microtransaccions are expensive but optional, and while the missions are repetitive, they are a good base for future updates.

Today, the skateboarding genre seems to be living a renaissance: Tony Hawk will return, one day there will be Skate 4, and Skater XL is now here and, against all odds, stands out by its own merits, with an offer that speaks to a very specific audience.

A poor anime adaptation into a fighting game that can't be recommended to anyone. Not even those who have enjoyed the anime series will find anything worthwhile in here.

In The House of the Dead Remake, the experience of the classic original is still there, with some changes in different aspects that help to keep it updated and enjoyable for today's times.

Rugby 20 falls into the "for fans only" category, but not in the traditional sense because it is a game for those who are willing to buy it only to support the franchise. The lack of budget is obvious, but there is a solid base of something good here that might get better in future sequels.

Deadly Premonition 2 has technical problems, a design of yesteryear and several questionable points, but it's a game that stands out for more than the sum of its parts. This isn't a case of "so bad, it's good", it's good because of the inexplicable force that holds each of its sections together. In the end, Deadly Premonition 2 is an oasis of irreverence and rebellion in an industry that is sometimes quite comfortable with its molds. This game breaks them all, unpretentiously and honestly as no other.

Dreamcore generates the feeling of tension and loneliness of liminal spaces while shining for its level design and atmosphere. A must for fans of the genre that sets the bar high for the arrival of new levels.

Predator: Hunting Grounds has good ideas: it's more than interesting that Soldiers and the Predator face each other on a "living" map where there are missions to complete, AI-controlled squadrons and animals to hunt. But in practice, it fails completely. Missions are boring, the AI has unforgivable errors and the maps are few and all the same. Illfonic can fix matchmaking and balance issues with a patch, but fixing the rest will take much more work.

Redfall's biggest problem is that it has no clear identity, with an empty open world and a lot of design and technical problems that seem to be very difficult to solve with updates.

Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance is a blemish on a franchise that is always fondly remembered by its fan base. None of its features is up to the series and doesn't even allow us to fulfill the role-playing fantasies that Dungeons & Dragons has given us for so many decades.

South Park: Snow Day! changes the formula of previous titles to become a game without identity and little enjoyable. Its lack of content is as notable as the lack of fun in its gameplay and the generic nature of its roguelike elements.

Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is a fascinating and charming game. While it looks like a game from the past generation in technical terms, it's still a rather unique adventure. Combining a situation not often seen in video games with a cast of characters with memorable stories, this game really offers an experience that, once you get hooked, is very difficult to drop. The wait may have been too long, but Disaster Report 4 is totally worth it.

Jump Force Deluxe Edition has nothing more to offer than the convenience of portability. This version is slightly inferior to the original, with a reduced price of fifty dollars that is still high even when it includes more characters.

Those Who Remain can work if you are looking for simple scares.The atmosphere works well and puzzles are based on some very good concepts. But the rest of the elements simple ruin the experience, even when the game tries it hard to include story choices to be more complex. With so many other similar and better games out there, there is no reason to recommend it.

The only positive thing I can say about this game is that it convinced me to research the source material. The tabletop RPG is infinitely more interesting than this adaptation because it’s designed for human interaction - hence the name “Paranoia”. When the surprises and betrayals are scripted, the core of the game is missing. Happiness may be mandatory but, thankfully, to play this game is optional.

Arc of Alchemist is a game I can't even recommend to fans of Compile Heart. It's a frustrating experience with an uninteresting combat and a boring story.

There are very few reasons to recommend Street Power Football. No aspect of the game really stands out. If you're thrilled to play another FIFA Street, this game isn't representative of that experience either. The worst of all? The game is available at a price of $ 50.

There is much to appreciate in Bounty Battle: the idea, the art, the music, the combat, and the effort made by the dev team. But, at the same time, much of that effort is evident in the lack of polish and the lack of some options that many may consider essential, such as online multiplayer.

Fast and Furious Crossroads can't be recommended even to fans, as it fails to justify its $ 60 price tag since it looks like a game from the past generation, and even this comparison is unfair.

The Lord of The Rings: Gollum is one of the worst releases in a long time. The game seeks to be a AAA title, but has an unclear direction that makes it an anachronic, riddled with errors and with a mediocre experience for both fans and non-fans of one of the most important IPs of recent times in nerd culture.

Unfortunately, the technical side of the game isn't up to the same level as the art style. But fans of classic platformers will find a decent game with pure puzzle gameplay.

Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale manages to create a gaming experience that works in every way. Its gameplay is composed of simple, concrete rules, and highly engaging action. The generous diversity of its protagonists, added to its competent character progression system, will make us return again and again to explore this fantasy world, despite it can become hugely difficult at times.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of the best adventures of the year, with one of the most beautiful and spectacular open worlds of the last decade, earning a place on the podium of the genre. The exploration is organic, the map is packed with activities to do, the skill tree is vast and truly useful, and the combat is some of the best I've seen in the genre.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is one of the best fighting games of the year, improving upon everything the previous title accomplished and adding even more elements that contribute to an incredible experience.

Manor Lords is a title with potential, although we will have to wait patiently to see it. This, undoubtedly, can deter the more impatient from giving it a chance. The progression is slow, and we might have to start several games from scratch to get the hang of it. On the contrary, those who are accustomed to this type of game will find here a beautiful and mechanically impressive city builder. [Early Access Review]

At the end of the day, Sker Ritual offers solid gameplay, with a nice arsenal, enemies with unique powers that add to the difficulty, and a well-balanced mix of waves and objectives. Visually, it has very detailed work. The problem is that what makes it great at the beginning ends up condemning it when thinking about the game in the long term.
