Sons of Sparta is an interesting attempt to adapt God of War into a 2D metroidvania-inspired format. The interconnected exploration of Laconia works well, and the relationship between Kratos and Deimos adds value to the narrative, revisiting the protagonist’s youth. However, inconsistent combat, predictable progression, and some polish issues prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Still, as a complementary chapter in Kratos’ story, it offers a curious perspective on his past.

High On Life 2 delivers fast-paced FPS action wrapped in irreverent sci-fi comedy, with talking weapons, sharp satire, and a surprisingly fluid skate traversal system that keeps combat dynamic and stylish. The sequel expands on the original’s personality and creativity, offering vibrant visuals and memorable characters. However, performance issues on PlayStation 5, including frame rate drops and low internal resolution, hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Code Vein 2 expands on the ideas of the first game with more content, a stronger focus on dual combat, and a narrative built around multiple timelines. The story’s core concept is interesting, though characters and dialogue struggle to create emotional engagement. Combat remains methodical and strategic, working well in cooperative play and offering a good variety of builds, even if few boss fights stand out as truly memorable. Exploration is open and functional, but provides limited incentives beyond basic progression. Confusing interfaces, recurring technical issues, and visuals below expectations for the current generation hurt the overall experience. Overall, it is an above-average game that will please fans of the original Code Vein, but it fails to stand out in a competitive year due to its reliance on safe, unambitious formulas.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 tries to innovate with a co-op open world campaign and psychological elements but fails in almost every narrative aspect. The story is disjointed, relying heavily on hallucinations and aimless twists that disrespect the franchise’s legacy. The multiplayer is more solid, bringing some welcome improvements over BO6, with good maps and the return of fan-favorite mechanics. Zombies mode also stands out, offering a robust and fun experience. Still, it feels like an annual release that could have been just an expansion, especially with a weak campaign, aggressive monetization, and a lack of truly new content.

Little Nightmares 3 preserves the franchise’s eerie atmosphere and strong visual identity, delivering tense chase sequences and well‑designed cooperative puzzles. However, the lack of local co‑op, unstable matchmaking, and a growing sense of repetition hold the experience back. Its cinematic direction and detailed environments are impressive, though depth perception issues often impact platforming. It’s a solid entry, but one that falls short of bringing meaningful innovation to the series.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a loving tribute to the franchise’s classic era, bundling 11 nostalgic titles alongside a surprisingly rich interactive documentary. The historical context, visual archive, and new features like online play and fatality training elevate the package as a preservation effort. Unfortunately, input lag and online instability weaken the gameplay experience, especially in a genre where precision is everything. It’s a meaningful collection for fans and historians, but its technical issues hold it back from being a flawless victory.

Midnight Murder Club embraces chaos with a creative and atmospheric concept: dark, trap-filled matches where light, sound, and improvisation decide who survives. The tension-filled gameplay, clever sound design, and proximity chat create unique, often hilarious moments—especially when played with friends. The guest pass system and affordable price make it easy to share the experience. However, the game struggles with long-term appeal. A single map, unbalanced game modes, and unreliable matchmaking limit its reach and replayability. Without friends, finding matches is difficult, and the lack of content quickly leads to repetition.

Its dynamic gameplay and unique concept stand out, but frequent technical issues, lag, and bugs hold it back. A promising title that still feels unfinished.

Badminton Time VR delivers a lighthearted and creative sports experience in virtual reality, offering arcade and realistic modes, entertaining minigames, and solid co-op matches with competent AI bots. While visually pleasant and occasionally engaging, the game is held back by technical flaws such as awkward camera angles, limited accessibility options, and poor matchmaking. With no support for Brazilian Portuguese and minimal online activity, its appeal is mostly for casual players looking for a fun, short-session game — ideally picked up during a sale.

Repetitive combat, technical issues, character imbalance, and a limited online mode hinder the enjoyment. Despite nostalgia, it doesn't match up to other titles in the genre.

Fairy Tail 2 is a good game. The JRPG meets expectations by being fun, charismatic, and delivering a product that fans will enjoy. On the other hand, don’t expect the title to blow your mind with excitement. It has technical issues and fails to engage an audience unfamiliar with Hiro Mashima's work.

The thing remastered is another great shot from nightdive studios. Shooting mechanics stop being dated and become smoother, while technical effects shine in a deep horror atmosphere. But don't wait too long: linearity can impact those looking for more variety, while AI flaws make some encounters frustrating.

Sociable Soccer 25 is pure arcade, but as a game it is unable to engage due to the limited modes and extremely simple mechanics. Licensing is not very pleasing and stability problems greatly harm what was supposed to be an easy-to-optimize game.

Fans of Sword Art Online will certainly be pleased with the concept, which diverges from other games in the franchise. It's not hard to feel captivated by following the journey of beloved characters from the anime world, like Kirito and Asuna. On the other hand, don't expect a bed of roses with Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. The flaws are quite evident and might bother those looking for smooth and addictive gameplay. If you enjoy the anime but aren't a die-hard fan, it might be worth waiting for a sale.

Caravan SandWitch has what it takes to calm your nerves: a relaxing soundtrack and gameplay. Don’t expect anything complex, just enjoy its few hours of play.

If you're looking for short adventures that fit into your busy schedule, the game can be a good choice.

Filled with all sorts of bugs and in large quantities, Parcel Corps is a frustrating and highly repetitive experience that fails to revive the classic sports and adventure games of the 'golden age'.

Whether you're a horror fan or not, the PS5 version of Until Dawn is still not made for you. There's no way to recommend a remake that hardly justifies its existence, especially in an apparently incomplete state, where bugs and outdated facial expressions are too frustrating. Positive points go to the gameplay and additional content, but the overall value for money is far below expectations.

The title boasts an absurd variety of builds and an interesting mask mechanic, but stumbles on a series of technical flaws and suffers from inconsistencies in gameplay.

Fun to play and with a natural and consistent humor, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a simple and accessible experience, but it doesn't justify its price due to technical flaws, low content offering, and the feeling that little has changed after 12 years.

More geared towards multiplayer than single-player, it has a tiresome and disposable campaign, but it is very rewarding and capable of delivering progression in a surprisingly organic way.

Visions of Mana doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel or set new benchmarks for the series, but it delivers on the fun and serves its purpose. While there’s room for improvement, especially in the narrative development, which relies on outdated formulas, the game still shines with its simple yet engaging gameplay.

More of a chapter than a complete game, Rewind or Die shows enough to convince that classic slasher horror films are still timeless. Creative, brutal and transgressive, the title is a beautiful project inspired by the PlayStation One era that leaves a taste of "I want more."

Although it is a more affordable game, Fate Seeker II is an example of a game with few standout features. The project does a good job of catering to those who enjoyed the first experience by improving and introducing some new mechanics, but the game's pace and the excessive simplicity of all other elements can quickly tire the player.

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded offers a dose of nostalgia to fans of the franchise, with classic characters and a distinctive visual style. On the other hand, it features slow progression, excessive grinding, and issues with online multiplayer.

The rescue of several RPG and soulslike elements in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn does not work and results in a shallow, very simple and lackluster experience. The combat is effective and the scenarios give a new generation feel, but the lack of ambition and a story with little impact make Nor's journey quickly forgettable.

Scholar’s Mate fulfills its purpose very well. Obviously, there are the risks of a short, puzzle-based game, such as the complete absence of replay value, but in terms of challenges, visuals, and immersion, it is all quite pleasant.

Visually, Horror Tales: The Beggar is a stunning showcase of Unreal Engine 5: beautifully crafted environments, excellent use of environmental physics, good integration with DualSense features, and highly satisfying technical effects. However, the lack of a sufficiently robust campaign, the need for more attention in story development, and frustrating bugs can detract from the experience.

Soul Covenant is definitely not worth it. The intuitive menu, stylish weapons, and beautiful soundtrack don't justify the high price tag for an incomplete game on the PS Store.

Now featuring 3D visuals and cooperative gameplay, the title sacrifices much of the show's essence to become more accessible, but it leaves behind something that made Cartman and his friends unforgettable: consistency.

In what Skull and Bones sets out to do, it may work for some people. A naval battle game that provides some entertainment and brings back a certain nostalgia from the times of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. However, for a game in 2024, it deserved much more polish and care.

The aim of Smalland: Survive the Wilds is to provide an introductory adventure to the survival genre, and it accomplishes this goal admirably.

This results in an overall experience that feels decidedly average, failing to captivate or innovate in ways that fans might have hoped.

WWE 2K23 is an average game that does not show much improvement from the previous entry of the franchise. It is pretty fun and the fans will enjoy it, because it has a huge roster and many different ways to play with the same atmosphere of the WWE events. But it could have a better gameplay, improved visuals on the career mode and a MyTeam mode with better features.

Forspoken is average. It has the highs and lows of an overall regular gaming experience.

There are so many fades to black and cutscenes that you feel bored, especially during the first hours of gameplay.

The gameplay is excellent, and the foundation is set, but there's still a long road ahead.

PGA Tour 2K23 may have the best golf simulation ever in a videogame. It's just a shame that it does not have the visuals and game modes to match it. It feels really good to take some swings on it, but the game lacks some of the major tournaments and also experiences that go beyond the Career Mode.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is supposed to be a fun multiplayer game, but the lack of content makes it a boring experience. It seems like you’re always playing the same stuff over and over again. It’s nice for a couple of hours, but after that, it doesn’t have enough to keep your attention.

Evil Dead: The Game feels like a love letter to the fans. Saber Interactive brings the right amount of nostalgia and a lot of nods to the classic Sam Raimi work.

Coming from Massive Work Studio, Dolmen is a horror soulslike with good storytelling and game design, but also some major flaws on gameplay and visuals. It feels outdated at times and has a lot of technical difficulties, which is sad because the game shows some potential.
