    Through its inventive Karakuri real-time building system, Wild Hearts finds its own stride amidst efforts to emulate the Monster Hunter formula. The ability to create huge walls to stop monsters in their tracks, or automated hammers to knock them down gives players more flexibility in how they choose to tackle each mission, and in turn makes multiplayer hunting particularly engaging.

    Horizon Call of the Mountain is easily one of the best options you have for PS VR2 during the launch window. This is a highly immersive virtual reality game that allows players to return to a dystopian future filled with robotic dinosaurs. The game features stunningly designed biomes, and players must navigate and climb mountains while fighting off enemies with a bow and arrow. However, the game lacks significant challenges and relies more on creating a sense of wonder and amazement for players. Despite this, Horizon Call of the Mountain is a must-play for those seeking an immersive and thrilling VR experience.

    Harry Potter fans will hardly find Hogwarts Legacy a forgettable experience. What really sets the game apart, though, is its ability to entertain and engage a wide audience with its unique combat, superb world-building and enchanting interactions. It does have edges that need refinement, but the game’s charm is powerful enough to make it one of the most memorable gaming experiences in recent years.

    Fine-tuned throughout an entire decade, Theatrhythm culminates in Final Bar Line - an outrageously humongous celebration of Final Fantasy's musical legacy that's easily the most riveting rhythm game available on modern platforms.

    Hi-Fi Rush arrived by surprise, unassumingly, without many compromises, and just like a rock star, it uses its personality to get the audience off the ground and mark everyone with a memorable experience. Although it still has an air of "experimentation" with bold gameplay but knows how to "step on the brakes," Chai's adventure can quietly be considered one of the best surprises of recent times, and is probably what many gamers were needing but didn't know yet.

    As the first Resident Evil remake, Dead Space is extremely faithful to its original material, limiting its changes to mechanical and visual updates and lore expansion. To be honest, sometimes the game looks way too conservative in its alterations decisions and, being exclusive for the current console generation, also falls short on some technical aspects. That said, the final result is respectful to the legacy of one of the best survival horror games ever made. It doesn’t feel like a rerun, but achieves to offer a refreshingly scary experience, as if it were the first time.

    Overall, Forspoken is a failed experiment. The few moments of joy are rarely not succeeded by the most absolute boredom or by questionable gameplay decisions. Look for something else, really.

    Fire Emblem Engage puts combat front and center, rewarding old fans of the series with one of the most versatile unit progression systems in franchise history. Three Houses fans will be disappointed to find, however, that the story and characters are as generic as they can be.

    One Piece Odyssey offers a lot in the way of gameplay and exploration for those who want to enjoy it, but it also has a clear route for those who just want to finish the main mission and enjoy a new One Piece story. All the content is filled with dialogue worthy of an anime arc, the unreleased characters get respect, and the memories are extremely touching for those who have followed the gang's travels. However, Bandai's title falls short in offering a rich experience for those who are not already familiar with Oda's work.

    Unbound is everything a fan of the franchise could want and an example of how to revamp a series without losing any of the essence of what a good Need for Speed is. More than just an excellent arcade racing game, Criterion leaves players with shining eyes as they imagine how much better this could be in the future.

    Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion does have a few qualities. Updated gameplay and far-better character models are always nice. Still, the game lacks visual improvements when it comes to cut-scenes and, honestly, the missions system will definitely few outdated for most modern players. If you wanna play it for the story, go on. If that's no the case, think again.

    The storyline smothered by indifference and combat that becomes repetitive do not bring long-lasting entertainment to Marvel's Midnight Suns players, just as the proposal to create one's own avatar proves meaningless when the character already has his own past. Still, the game entertains and brings rich content in the form of interactions between heroes that can make Marvel comics and movies fans leave with glowing eyes.

    Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's technical problems and lackluster multiplayer are unable to overshadow its triumphant leap into an open world. Compelling characters, a huge batch of new creatures and an excellent OST help the titles on their mission to renovate the franchise. They celebrate everything that makes Pokémon games endearing: the mysteries, the surprises, the feeling of freedom - and, in doing so, create an experience that's probably the best in the entire main series.

    Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a unique opportunity to please a very specific niche of RPG fans. It was made to please old time fans without tarnishing the masterpiece from 30 years ago. I assure you this is one of the best games of this genre, even bringing just a few reasons to those who already have experienced this adventure in the past. In any case, I loved revisiting Valeria and I know a lot of that feeling is just pure nostalgia.

    Sonic Frontiers is exactly what the franchise needed. It might seem a little rough around the edges, but it is revolutionary for the series as a whole. Combat feels amazing, Sonic feels faster than ever, the open zones concept works well and even the story is captivating. Believe me: Sonic is back.

    God of War Ragnarok builds upon its predecessor achievements with a far more ambitious campaign. It's way more diverse visually and design-wise, while telling a compelling story about — ironically — very human themes. Absolutely, the best in the series and a must-play for all PlayStation fans.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 does what it sets out to do, continues the homage to the original games, with updated storylines, well-crafted characters, surprisingly impactful additions, and proposes openings for what may be the franchise's best moment in this regard for some time. The promised evolutions are here. In fact, CoD seems to aim to impact the player with visual improvements and differentiated experiences that enrich the final product, but fails in the search for novelties relevant enough to maintain the same freshness in multiplayer modes.

    Bayonetta 3 is an experience filled with a constant feeling of surprise, quality of life add-ons, dynamic and electrifying action and an epic story. Though it lacks visual refinement, the end result is a must-play for fans of the series. Although unfortunately there is still male gaze imprinted on the game, being a woman and playing with such powerful and fun characters such as Bayonetta, Viola and Jeanne is a huge joy.

    Gotham Knights succeeds in bringing an action-packed but also extremely sentimental story that explores different characters' reactions to grief and the impact of missing a symbol such as Batman. However, several missed opportunities keep the game from the "unforgettable" title, although it can be considered almost mandatory for Batman fans.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem shows immense growth. It's a sequel that maintains the essence of the game and expands it, bringing a narrative experience that goes to unimaginable places as in the first game, in addition to gameplay that introduces new elements with each chapter.

    It took eight years to complete Scorn and, when playing the final result, it's clear that more development time was needed. The game succeeds in teasing our senses with an exquisite setting and challenging puzzles, but it lacks a compelling story and refined gameplay to make it a worthwhile experience.

    Grounded can easily be ranked as one of the best survival games in recent years. Even with its an uninteresting story, facing the breathtaking backyard world is delightful, especially because of its creativity and surprisingly frightening elements.

    The overall balance is positive. Even though the latest game in the FIFA series hasn't fixed some problems pointed out so long ago by the community, it's a fact that the football simulator remains as fun as ever — and has become even more intuitive.

    We Are OFK is a truly multimedia experience. The game is enough, however, consuming the music in my day to day life, kind of forced me to write this review even almost two weeks after its release. Go ahead. Try this adventure. Or at least listen to the music - if you enjoy the sound, you will definitely want to "play".

    NBA 2K23 is still the best possible product for basketball fans and the best thing you can ask for in a sports simulation game. The additions of historical content are jaw-dropping and have clearly received plenty of love. However, the online experience that makes the game so long lasting is highly compromised by the absurd need to spend even more to stay in the competition.

    Having the feeling of watching a new episode of the anime or being immersed in pages of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga while controlling your favorite heroes and villains is priceless, and being rewarded with even more self-references is a delight. However, there is no appeal for those who don't already know the story and its characters, and it is impossible not to miss a modern, more refined online mode.

    This remake is the definitive version of The Last of Us: prettier, better to play, technical features in a state-of-the-art, new extras, and it's completely true to the original. Apparently, Sony's plans are to try to reach a new audience that will seek out the game because of the TV series that premieres next year. But the $70 price tag of this re-release prevents me from recommending it to everyone.

    The Cowabunga Collection unifies all of the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games from the 1990’s in just one pack, bringing back all that nostalgia and hitting hard on our hearts. Digital Eclipse did more than just create a collection of emulated ROMs with a nice selection screen. It goes beyond what many fans thought and adds an excellent documentation job, bringing lost content to a wider audience which, maybe, would never know about its existence. If you are a person who likes all these nostalgic feelings, this is a must have compilation. It is a journey through time in digital form that is worth being experienced for everyone.

    Midnight Fight Express is definitely worth your time. With a total of nine hours of gameplay, the game provided me with a super fun experience. At its highest points, Midnight Fight Express provides super satisfying combat, honoring the modern beat'em up format. On the other hand, the game has poorly developed narrative and a soundtrack that I particularly didn’t like. But it's worth remembering that the game was developed for the most part by a single person – if I didn't know this beforehand, the possibility would never have come to mind. Overall, it's a very well designed game, both in terms of level design and artstyle.
