Overall, Ridge Racer: Unbounded is a good arcade racing game, which offers many interesting features like its multiplayer modes, the track creator, the destruction of environments. But it could have been a better game, as it's unoriginal, all the cars are almost the same and its story isn't interesting. A good racing game that could have been a greater game.

An original game but that sometimes ends up being simple and repetitive.

Another year, another Assassin's Creed. This year the series takes us to another dazzling historical setting like the Victorian times, the London of the Industrial Revolution. But although the story of the twins, Jacob and Eve, has better elements than last year's Unity, it reinforces the fact that the whole series needs at least a year of two of rest and gathering new ideas. Yes, we have a grapple like Batman, and even horse vehicles, a great background scenario, a town to control and gangs of crooks to lead, along with the usual array of side-quests. But there plenty of elements that, if allowed time to polish, would have made Syndicate as big, fun and entertaining as others like AC II or Black Flag.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl are a worthy return to Sinnoh, respectful remakes that seek to offer exactly the same experience as the original Nintendo DS works; albeit with new conveniences that help the pace of the adventure while borrowing quality-of-life details already established in the series. On the other hand, they are also much more permissive releases, with facilities during the adventure that cannot be turned off and that help too much in once-challenging situations. They are very conformist titles. The return of the random encounters did not convince us, especially after seeing how well the ability to see creatures in the environment worked. With plenty of content thanks to the Grand Underground and a generous endgame, it will provide plenty of hours of gameplay even though they are limited to the first four Pokémon generations. All of this, coupled with a beautiful art style despite being low-key on a graphical level, makes for an unmissable trip to Sinnoh for fans; especially those planning to play Pokémon Legends Arceus in a couple of months.

Gato Roboto is another little triumph for Devolver Digital and developer doinksoft. A simple and satisfying metroidvania that keeps the best of the genre and execute it in a fun Cat-Robot space fantasy and ditches all the unnecessary backtracking these games sometimes have.

Also, it has graphical issues, repeats the same things all along and turns boring. We'll miss multiplayer.

The 25th Ward is an interesting game which has an intricate story with complex moments that makes hard to know what's happening.

But as a Vampire game it's worth it, especially in its deployability, because the world of The Masquerade is really well implemented. If you're a fan, give it the Embrace and become its Sire while you wait for the arrival of the messiah Bloodlines 2.

An example of IP with personality, Atelier's series can be recognized just taking at look at the screen. After Escha & Logy, Tecmo brings to the West another Atelier, second in a row in the same year, to keep the fans of its crafting system entertained the whole summer. It's better in all aspects than the original Rorona, but if you have already played that back in 2010, this Plus version dosen't have so many new things to pay again for the experience unless we are real fans of the game. The best part is that now we have the Arland trilogy complete on PS Vita.

Using a background, elements and references to classic Horror and FantaTerror, Tape: Unveil the memories is one of those effective games that comes to tell you a story and that's it. In this case, one with very uncomfortable elements that the videogame doesn't usually use, although it doesn't take advantage of them either. The original use of the camera, the good sound design, the elements of Galicia and its Fantastic tradition stand out in a game that strangely doesn't want to be a horror game and continually refuses to scare, nor does it create tension. But the narrative ride, puzzles and its scripted surprises are well worth the experience.
