    New Star GP
    New Star GP is a casual, arcade game that aims for a particular aesthetic and gameplay that is in short supply these days. I'm glad it exists, and I'm touched by the strong love of motorsport it has present. I think it's a fun videogame to play, even with friends, but I think -empirically- it's an idea that is directly intended for those who enjoy the sport.

    Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs
    Launching video games as a service and making them a success is no easy task, and as fun as the exponent is, I find it hard to imagine PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs having a promising future. Its lack of elemental variety and the sheer number of bots in the games are an issue that needs to be addressed quickly if they are to turn things around.

    Senua's Saga: Hellblade II
    Hellblade II: Senua's Saga" far surpasses its predecessor, offering a technically impressive experience with touches of action and puzzle-solving, where all its elements come together around an emotional work that neither lacks nor exceeds a single second.

    Sker Ritual
    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.

    TopSpin 2K25
    If what you're looking for is to play tennis, TopSpin 2K25 is the best way to do it in 2024. If you want something more or to play casually, the presence of microtransactions and the limited variety of professional players (which is not the case for the stadiums!) do not justify the price to pay.

    V Rising
    I genuinely believe that V Rising has a complete product for almost any type of player. The only reason you shouldn't give it a chance is if you absolutely don't like survival games. The only thing I would like it to have a bit more of is variety in the boss movements (especially in the first half of the game) and more variety in the music, but at least one of those complaints is addressed by the Brutal mode in this version 1.0.

    Manor Lords
    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]

    Princess Peach: Showtime!
    It's an experience that delivers just enough, plays on automatic and doesn't quite do a fine job of making itself a memorable video game. It's not a bad start by any means for a new sub-franchise, but it would be ideal if Nintendo decided to bet heavily on the character regardless of how well this game sells and that we already have a sequel in development. Time will tell how committed the Big N is to this cause.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
    While I think Eiyuden Chronicle has some room for improvement and that more development time would have been even better for it, I appreciate the many original ideas that the experience offers for a genre that is overpopulated, especially in its 2D/2.5D version. However, the foundations for something much bigger are already in place. We'll see if there will be enough gas to keep supporting this project or if it will remain encapsulated as a one hit wonder. My vote for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, then, for all that it represents, with its mix of legacy and timeliness.

    Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide
    If I think of Final Fantasy XVI today as a package to play from start to finish, I think of an unparalleled expedition with a lot to tell, with its two expansions, about a world slowly approaching ruin. Perhaps, being a slave to the excitement and mystery of Japanese plot twists made me wait longer than I should have. Perhaps, the "terrible and lost" Leviathan was nothing more than a hope for the players, one that Clive knew from the start would not change his actions and that, in the end, he would have to say goodbye to his fans.

    SAND LAND
    Sand Land is the latest video game adaptation of one of Akira Toriyama's works, presenting us with a world devoid of water, tyrants, bandits, and numerous secrets. With a simple open world and outdated combat, Sand Land falls short of offering a complete experience to the player.

    Stellar Blade
    All of this makes Stellar Blade a complete and highly enjoyable experience for hack and slash enthusiasts. As a fan of Nier Automata, Stellar Blade's world, story, and soundtrack captivated me and left me eager for a sequel or, at the very least, to keep an eye out for the next release from SHIFT UP studio.

    South Park: Snow Day!
    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.

    Last Epoch
    Last Epoch takes the genre dominated by Diablo IV and Path of Exile by surprise, with a proposal that, thanks to its accessibility and variety in character development, manages to become a more than interesting alternative.

    Highwater
    Highwater is an adventure with a heavy focus on its narrative, and a turn-based combat system that presents its battles as puzzles. It is a modest but correct game in its technical aspects and the music is frankly spectacular, but each of its goals runs out of steam halfway.

    Reveil
    Reveil is a psychological horror adventure that relies on a mystery that gets solved relatively soon, but manages to keep your interest until the end. Its technical accomplishments create a terrifying atmosphere that, unfortunately, gets broken again and again by some details that were handled without care.

    Pepper Grinder
    Pepper Grinder is a challenging, fresh and innovative platform game. Armed with a drill and the sole desire to recover the loot of a pirate shipwreck, we will enjoy an experience that stands out for its good mechanics, excellent level design, beautiful pixel art and a great soundtrack.

    Dragon's Dogma 2
    Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a sequel that stays true to its roots, but in the best way possible. It recaptures what made the original unique and enhances it with new vocations to choose from and dozens of skills to master. It's an adventure across two gigantic continents to explore, brimming with mysteries and treasures, and a strong presence of mythological beasts to defeat. [Review in Progress]

    Alone in the Dark
    Alone In The Dark aims to reimagine the classic 1992 game but falls short in creating an atmosphere worthy of a pioneering franchise in the survival horror genre. Despite being accompanied by good music and decent performances, it is a title with significant shortcomings in its overall pace, moderately acceptable puzzles, and a poor combat system. It seeks to evoke the purest Lovecraftian essence but fails to execute this idea with the expected success, which is disappointing for such a beloved series that fails to release games up to par.

    Ultros
    Ultros is a unique metroidvania that focuses its proposal on the exploration of an exquisitely dreamlike, colorful, and psychedelic map. It falls short in terms of action but compensates with deep exploration, rewarding environmental puzzles, and a spectacular aesthetic section.

    Pacific Drive
    Pacific Drive stands out for its driving mechanics, setting, looting, and progression, but it's challenging for me to recommend due to the setbacks it inflicts on the player experience and some issues with its interface. Nonetheless, the accessibility options are well-implemented, allowing for a customized experience in Ironwood Studios' debut title, which, above all, is highly original.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" is a title that innovates upon the foundations of its predecessors, offering revamped gameplay in its combat and an open-world exploration format that intertwines with the creation of a richly detailed world. With a touching narrative that delves into the bonds of each character, it's a title that promises to keep you captivated for hours.

    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League fails to reach anywhere near the level of greatness of the incredible Batman: Arkham, but it retains vestiges of its essence and is much more entertaining than I anticipated. The story is worth every second invested, and being a relatively short title, I would recommend it to any fan of the superhero genre in general.

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink
    At a certain point, it becomes challenging to find the ideal words to describe Granblue Fantasy: Relink because I feel that none are sufficient. Rare are the games that leave me feeling this way. Those games that, no matter how hard I try to find a negative aspect, I cannot. Those games that I want to keep playing for hours on end without a break, like when I was a carefree child. Those games that remind me why I love video games. And Granblue Fantasy: Relink is one of those games.

    Persona 3 Reload
    Persona 3 Reload is one of the best examples of what it means to bring back a title as complex as this into our hands. With all its changes, it feels fresh without losing its originality and sets a precedent for how to seamlessly blend so many gameplay styles into a perfect mix that looks, plays, and sounds top-notch.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    Infinite Wealth sets the bar for what other games with secondary content should aspire to. It delivers high-quality content that naturally encourages players to invest countless hours. The main content lives up to expectations, and together, it makes for a fantastic game in the early months of 2024.

    Tekken 8
    Tekken 8 represents the next evolution of the franchise, but it's not a major transformation. Some aspects remain the same, like the lack of in-depth tutorials, while some, like its narrative, fall very short. However, what's most important, the gameplay and the online experience, are definitely at its best.

    The Last of Us Part II Remastered
    The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the best version to enjoy one of the most relevant games of recent years. Despite being a controversial remaster, there is no doubt that it features an incredible story and gameplay that everyone should try.

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has some things that overshadow the experience, including the classic Ubisoft bugs and a visual performance that at times is controversial, but there is no doubt that it is a great, enjoyable and complete experience. A step in the right direction. The game is the result of great ideas that worked well in other recent games, and were very well captured in this new installment of Prince of Persia. I hope the numbers go with it, because I would love to see in the future how they can make a sequel with much more confidence than what this game represents.
