MythForce had everything to please an entire generation that grew up falling in love with the peculiar aesthetics of adventurous animations from the 1980s and 1990s, but unfortunately the inspirations remained only in the concept. As soon as the game starts, it only presents us with a generic roguelite journey devoid of any emotion.

MARS 2120 has potential to become a good game and succeeds in terms of visuals and the versatile tools, but execution problems and a premature launch prevent it from, in its current state, reaching the average in a genre as prolific as the metroidvania is nowadays.

Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is a disappointing spin-off and I cannot recommend it to even to die hard fans of the series. The gameplay simply isn't polished and, thus, makes it hard for players to have a good time with the title.

PAC-MAN, the classic, is impeccable. Adding multiplayer concepts through the lens of Battle Royale is a great idea. However, PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs proves that not even this mix has a guarantee of success if care is not taken with the content offered. Without a life of its own, the tribute is a good memory, but it doesn't go much further than that.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection brings all the action of Star Wars battles back to consoles. With the mission to be fun, the game has interesting single player campaigns, a Galactic Conquest mode with a hint of strategy and a multiplayer filled with new maps. A collection made for longtime fans, but which also invites new ones to experience one of the most fun experiences in the Star Wars saga.

REYNATIS is a title that could be truly excellent and an interesting attempt by FuRyu to make a modern RPG, but its dissonant elements result in an average experience that prevents it from fully reaching its potential.

Even with combat that falls short of expectations and little presence of its biggest star, Kong: Survivor Instinct manages to capture the concepts of the so-called Monsterverse well and offer a good human journey in the face of the destruction caused by these great titans, taking advantage of a universal quest narrative and typical exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics.

FOAMSTARS is a game of two extremes where not all the foam and style in the world can hide the lack of substance. It shows signs of variety and depth, but ends up being shallow. Its short matches are fun, but they don't keep you engaged in the long term and the repetitiveness in its PvE mode gets tiring before the player sees the best it has to offer.

I really wish I'd been more involved with In My Shadow, but the great core concept isn't enough to sustain an uninvolved story and shaky artwork. While the puzzles themselves have their virtues, the platforming leaves something to be desired, resulting in a disconnected and incomplete set.

Death or Treat is a game with a very fun combat and setting, capable of guaranteeing a good time for a few hours. But, as a roguelite, it ends up suffering from the lack of challenges and the consequent lack of motivation to continue playing it for many runs.

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is definitely a functional beat'em up and, for a while, quite fun, even though it is extremely generic. It uses all the main conventions of the genre, but it is mediocre and poorly works its laughable story, it is tiring and repetitive, especially when playing in single-player and unfortunately it takes little advantage of the foundation of the franchise that lends it its title.

Gungrave GORE was a title that surprised positively, but ended up disappointing. It is certainly a recommendation for when it is at a more affordable price and, above all, for the public that likes titles with intense action and has an open mind to accept the game's flaws. Frankly, we hope we see more versions of the series eventually and that it utilizes the full potential demonstrated by GORE.

Clive 'n' Wrench is a true love letter to the great platform games of the 90's, mixing all that was best in them. Simple, captivating, extremely fun and with an addictive soundtrack, it ends up being a must play for fans of the genre. Even with problems, Clive 'n' Wrench manages to show a lot of potential and, above all, transports us back to the golden age of the genre.

Killsquad is a great twin-stick shooter for players who are looking for a new title and want to spend time with friends in an action-packed game with lots of customization options. That said, it's important to be aware that the single-player experience isn't as fun as it could be and the progression isn't as straightforward as other games in the genre.

Wanted: Dead is a simple and straightforward yet challenging action game. The story is bad, there are few levels and the minigames are generally uninteresting. On the other hand, the gameplay is pretty good once you get the hang of it. If you don't care about the plot, overlook some technical problems and have the patience to learn the game, you might end up finding a good source of fun.

With several general design problems, questionable changes, a lack of technical polish and not much creativity, Mobid: The Lords of Ire is a weak experience and difficult to recommend.

Despite being a title worthy of its legacy, the new version of Neverwinter Nights 2 is anything but Enhanced. Aside from graphical upscaling and the fact that it includes all expansions in a single package, the console port is unfortunately inferior compared to the original version released for PC in 2006.

Monark is a tangled web of good ideas that could have become a good game, but end up being hidden under an awful execution. The combat system is the best part, but it fails by its excessive repetition and the story stuns the player by taking one of the worst possible directions and throwing away all it could have been.

SAMURAI MAIDEN mixes two completely opposite genres (action and visual novel) and fails to excel in either one. It is a weak, boring game with awful graphics, bad music, unresponsive controls and a monotonous story. The character models are very nice and the action is a little pleasing after evolving a lot and unlocking different moves, but it's not worth it.

Made In Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness is a game with good ideas, but poor execution and an awful adaptation of the source material. Both the gameplay and the story leave something to be desired and the only abyss that the game will inhabit being that of oblivion.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 makes mistakes in practically every possible aspect, from the campaign with questionable design and shallow story, to the uninteresting zombies mode and even its classic competitive multiplayer mode, delivering much less than expected. Little is really original and the game looks more like a reuse of parts from Warzone to create a new product to be sold at full price.

Offering a versatile experience, focusing on action and missions divided into acts, Gangs of Sherwood stands out for its simplicity and brings with it elements of character evolution. Despite the small subtitle fonts and less in-depth narrative, the title delivers engaging gameplay and hours of entertainment.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is still as fun as it was when it was released 25 years ago, but this mediocre and bureaucratic remaster does little to address the aesthetic issues and even less for the original's limitations. While it largely ignores newcomers, it may have its appeal for a few moments for longtime fans, but it does little to reward them for their loyalty.

Disco Simulator delivers the logistics of a night out with vibrant colors, but stumbles on the controls and forgets that a good party needs more than just three songs on loop.

Even with the frustration of the near absence of an obvious collecting element, Funko Fusion is essentially an average game in terms of both its combat and exploration mechanics, although it does offer some good adventurous passages. Its biggest problem is a certain identity crisis, with questionable choices of franchises having little to do with each other and complicating the establishment of a cohesive tone for this project full of potential.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance follows the storyline of a brand new character, who has been retroactively insterted into the main canon in a minimalistic and repetitive side-scrolling game. With strong spin-off vibes, it might not be a good indication of the revival of a classic franchise.

There are several issues that end up leaving the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown experience far below expectations. However, none are worse than the entire technical aspect present, delivering a game in a depressing way upon its release. Racing game fans and those who are more patient in waiting for improvements can still enjoy the positive points if they decide to face the game in its current state.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants takes inspiration from one of the biggest classics of its genre, but fails to attempt to modernize the experience with its shallow gameplay and presentation. The outcome is a weak and repetitive game, even though it's a short one.
