Infernax is the result of combining Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Bloodborne. But, even when this sounds like fun, it gets boring quickly because of its dated mechanics.

Loop Hero is not a perfect game and its learning curve is very high, especially if you don't usually play Dungeons and Dragons. However, the most addictive feature is that in each game you get the idea that you could have done better, extending its replayability for weeks.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has several strengths, such as an interesting story, a living world that invites you to get lost in it for hours, and an impressive visual presentation. However, it is also filled with numerous technical issues that genuinely undermine its achievements. Still, if you have enough patience, you may find a very entertaining game worth dedicating many hours to.

Gundam Breaker 4 is more than just another game based on an anime franchise. It caters to Gunpla modeling enthusiasts and those who might no longer have space for model kit boxes. The premise is entertaining without needing to be profound, and it makes an excellent effort to provide you with the tools to create your perfect Mobile Suit, something you might not be able to achieve in the real world.

Mario Party Superstars won't offer fans from the 20-year-old franchise anything new and making matters worse: there are important mini-games that were neglected. Only 100 mini-games are not enough, especially when Nintendo had already done this four years ago on the 3DS. However, thanks to its replay value and nostalgia, this game is worth it if you play with friends a lot, but as it happens with this kind of games, you probably won't be friends anymore once the match is over.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins will surely appeal to franchise fans, as it returns with all the action we expect from the series. However, its repetitive nature and lackluster story may drive away potential newcomers.

Freedom Wars Remastered brings back a cult classic from the PlayStation Vita era. While the gameplay isn't as refined as other genre titles, the game offers a satisfying enough experience for those seeking an alternative, especially if they enjoy science fiction.

System Shock does an excellent job of resurrecting the 1994 game. Its graphic proposal and mechanics take you directly to the past, and therein lies its biggest weakness since its mechanics feel too outdated for 2023. The combat could be faster and more fluid, while the levels feel like a maze you must repeatedly return to to progress.

MLB The Show 21 is a pretty solid game, but had questionable adjustments that will make you think a few times before buying it. On one side you have good hitting and pitching mechanics, but on the other, player progression is slower. In the name of 'innovation', some things were added and others eliminated, but the latter were working well in past entries.

MotoGP 21 seeks a place among other great racing games (in 2 and 4 wheels), but does very little to reinvent itself. A very polished game that does not take many risks.

Bravely Default II is a title whose solid gameplay mechanics and job system sustain the traditional story that has been going on for decades. The grinding is excessive, sometimes even ridiculous and tiring, unbalancing the experience in a regrettable way when past installments offered a much more balanced and fair package for the final experience.

Bus Bound is a solid bus driving simulator that strongly emphasizes realism, requiring players to follow traffic rules to achieve better scores. However, its low level of challenge and relative simplicity may make it difficult to recommend if you are not already a fan of the genre, as it does little to attract new players.

Dear Me, I Was is a short, intimate, and visually captivating experience that reaffirms how video games can move players without relying on action. Arc System Works and Taisuke Kanasaki invite players on an introspective journey where storytelling, music, and art intertwine to remind us that the ordinary can also be profoundly human.

Get It Together is a valuable addition and features several of the best minigames of the WarioWare franchise. However, being forced to switch characters with different abilities can be annoying and sometimes success depends more on luck than your expertise.

The chaos around each Pac-Man 99 match makes you wonder if you have direct control over the outcome or it was just luck. There are times when so much disorder suffocates you, but getting to the top ten or being in the first place is rewarding enough to continue enjoying the experience.

Player First Games had plenty of time to improve Multiversus, but the changes in gameplay mechanics are less noticeable compared to the beta. Despite the efficient online combat experience, there must be more reasons to invest time when many daily or weekly missions are unfair, requiring specific characters that players need access to. The economic model of Multiversus could be more functional, which may lead many to abandon ship despite the efficient gameplay experience.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted arrives with new visuals, an expanded arsenal of defensive and offensive tools, and fresh challenges that force players to adapt to each unique board. This edition bursts with renewed energy, allowing players to evolve gradually throughout the experience. However, despite all its improvements, it still feels like something essential is missing.

PowerWash Simulator 2 Adventure Time Pack provides more environments to clean, this time set in the Land of Ooo, which has been recreated with great care and attention to detail. However, since it does not introduce any changes to the core gameplay, it ultimately delivers more scenarios along with all the strengths and weaknesses of the base game.

Ara: History Untold is a worthy representative of the strategy genre, offering innovative mechanics for those who particularly enjoy the building aspect of empire building games focused on diplomacy and warfare. Although many of its elements must be polished and refined to stand the test of time, the foundations are solid, and the future looks promising.

Reigns: The Witcher brings the series' signature gameplay into Geralt's universe with a simple system that proves highly entertaining, though it can also fall into repetition rather quickly.

Narita Boy is a love letter to pop culture and visual references from the 80s. This indie game stands out thanks to its story, design and music, although problems with gameplay and controls prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Life is Strange 2 is finally available for Nintendo Switch users, and it comes ready to once again plunge us into the shocking stream of events surrounding the lives of brothers Sean and Daniel, with the distinctive subdued touch of the supernatural that prevails in each installment of the Life is Strange saga.

The campaign of Call of Duty: Vanguard tries to be heroic, but falls short and becomes predictable due to one-dimensional characters with poor development. Even when the multiplayer has interesting gameplay options, they are nothing to write home about. Finally, the zombie mode adds a lot of entertainment to the experience, but it's not enough for this installment to be a must-buy.

MLB The Show 26 maintains the solid foundation of one of the most consistent sports franchises on the market, with refined gameplay, extensive customization options, and a comprehensive selection of modes. However, its lack of innovation, performance issues in the interface and online play, along with a visual presentation that no longer impresses, make this installment feel more like an iterative update than a true leap forward for the series.

When it works, Darwin's Paradox is an entertaining platformer with a wide variety of challenges and environments. However, its short duration, along with a number of programming issues, makes it difficult to recommend broadly. It has good ideas, but it clearly needed more time in the oven.

Defiance of Destiny takes Disgaea's core and tries to evolve it into a game that exploits ridiculous characters and situations. However, already in its sixth installment, it does not find a balance between pleasing its fans and inviting new users, delivering a game that makes us doubt the longevity of the franchise.

Encased: a Sci-Fi, Post-Apocalyptic RPG seeks to recreate the best moments of the first Fallout games. Unfortunately, it also brought with it a lot of outdated mechanics and repetitive designs. Along with this, technical problems, bugs, and unreliable localization ruin the experience.

Pokemon Shining Pearl is a good remake that honors the original release, but they could have added more to make the experience even better.
