Elden Ring is a very entertaining game that takes a lot from other FromSoftware titles. Its beautiful open world is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it invites you to explore, but on the other, it makes you face the same enemies over and over again until you are sick of it.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has enough arguments to be a great game, not just a simple sequel. Link's new abilities change how players enjoy the franchise, and even the world feels much more open than in Breath of the Wild. The downside is that, at various times, the scenarios feel empty and add little to the adventure. Sometimes the shrines are more challenging to solve, the boss battles are memorable and exciting, and the game invites you to be brave at all times because now, the goal to save the day is more meaningful.

Team Asobi demonstrated through Astro Bot that video games don't need to be pretentious to be fun. The only issue this title has is its excessive reverence for the PS5, which, while a good console, isn't necessarily changing this generation of gaming. Beyond that, we have an excellent title with a high level of replayability that immerses you in a world full of adventures, reminding you that a game should provide plenty of entertainment and not headaches.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree fully lives up to its expansion name by giving us more of what we loved from the base game but with gameplay, world, and content innovations. It truly makes you feel like the first time you explored the Lands Between while introducing new and daunting challenges. However, I must warn you that it is more challenging than expected. Even those with hundreds of hours will feel a lot of pressure.

The joint work between Retro Studios plus the experience of Iron Galaxy gave us Metroid Prime Remastered, one of the most outstanding games that the Nintendo Switch can have. Both studios gave new life to a perfect classic that today you can enjoy once again and with modern controls, a much-appreciated detail. This masterpiece came back from the ashes like a phoenix to remind us of the greatness of Metroid.

Persona 5 Royal is a title for every video game lover. The style and art direction have characterized it and finished establishing the franchise. Its arrival on new consoles will only allow more people to enjoy one of the best games that Atlus has made with this team. The only problem is its enormous duration that, for some, could seem unnecessary amid excellent character development that immerses the player in their world.

Metaphor: ReFantazio differs from the unique proposition that Atlus promised to develop for the West over eight years. Its structure clearly reflects Persona 5, and based on that foundation, the team has refined and built one of the most entertaining games of the year. While Atlus has demonstrated its mastery in many areas, such as its ability to create fascinating worlds and an unmatched aesthetic, it can offer much more in gameplay.

God of War Ragnarok is an epic action adventure game. The story is solid. It uniquely interprets Norse mythology and takes you by the hand through an entertaining narrative. The combat mechanics fully serve their purpose, and the progression system goes hand in hand with exploring the 9 Kingdoms, which was a great idea. We will talk for a long time about God of War Ragnarok for everything it contributed to gaming in a time when games are developed between two generations with very different capabilities.

Nothing has changed. The game is mostly the same: Kratos is still playing the "father simulator" and God of War is still a wonderful game that, at the time, offered an aesthetic experience hard to match up. However, nothing that existed in 2018 can be assumed as the reality that we live in the present day, the fateful AP (After Pandemic) World. What really changed is, undoubtedly, the way we see it... Ah, of course! Also the platform.

Hades on PS5 works perfectly. The resolution and textures look bright, colorful, and have very good quality. Sure, this is a version that doesn't take advantage of what the DualSense can offer, however that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed. This game is a must-play, regardless of the platform.

Resident Evil 4 Remake manages to maintain the spirit of the original but gives it a huge graphic improvement and changes to the gameplay that feel like a great success. It never stops surprising and its pace makes you not want to let go of control, even after reaching the credits. Capcom again gives us an example of what a remake should do.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is everything a sequel should be, giving us a more complex, varied, and comprehensive game than its predecessor while delving deeper into its characters and making us even more attached to them. With all of this, it becomes an intermediate episode that sets the stage for a trilogy finale that is sure to be epic.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a triumphant return of the plumber to 2D platformers. Its levels are very varied and challenging, and it is evident that creativity flowed with the alterations of the wonder flower. Despite minor problems, it is a game that gamers should include in the collection of any Nintendo Switch owner.

Forza Horizon 5 improves over its predecessor in almost every way, except that some of its main events aren't as entertaining or spectacular. This is not only a love letter to its Mexican fans, but also a great contender to Game of the Year, because anyone, no matter where they are from, will be able to enjoy this great driving experience.

Street Fighter 6 is a much more complete experience than SFV. The two headlines that make this game something worthy are the simplification of the combat system for new players and the change in the combat mechanics so that the counters are the new base for the duels to be much more spectacular and dramatic. The arcade and story modes are entertaining but could be improved or extended to make them more fun. Overall, we have a great Street Fighter installment that will be enjoyable for a long time. Capcom listened to the community, and those who buy this video game will feel like they are paying for a whole experience.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a fantastic RPG that pays tribute to the genre's classics while doing its own thing with a genuinely intriguing story and a dynamic turn-based combat system that becomes increasingly complex as you progress through its campaign. It is truly a testament to why new IPs and new studios deserve a chance to shine and leave their mark on the industry.

Split Fiction is subtle, entertaining, and a genuinely collaborative experience that will bring out the best in two players who may not fully understand what teamwork truly means. The story of Mia and Zoe hits deep, dealing with real life issues that anyone could face. Additionally, the challenge is fulfilling, and the level design is a masterpiece.

Many are questioning how many real reasons there are to get a Nintendo Switch 2, and Donkey Kong Bananza is one of them. It's not just a game with solid and enjoyable mechanics. You can see that it makes good use of the console, and it's evident that Nintendo continues to invest in creativity, while also taking advantage of the technological advancements now available in gaming.

Insomniac makes a notable effort to give Spidey fans a story they will talk about for a long time, as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is full of drama, mystery, adventure, and plenty of challenge. How Kraven and Venom are featured is appropriate, and the side missions complement the video game's narrative. The result is a solid title, with a design that aims to keep the player entertained and busy in a certainly direct and compact experience that fans will appreciate.

In technical terms, the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is highly functional, whether playing on a PC with all the benefits of current technology or on the trendy handheld that sometimes feels outdated. Everything that made Square Enix's game great on consoles lives up to its brilliance in this port.

The best flight simulator has finally arrived on consoles and regardless of your level, you are going to find something challenging or beautiful among the skies. It is technically impressive that this is running on an Xbox Series X. Although it is definitely not the best version, it is a great test of the capabilities of the "most powerful" console on the market.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered once again delivers one of the best games of recent years, featuring impressive graphics and a fantastic new mode that is highly entertaining, complex, and captivating. However, it came with some minor errors not present in the original.

Hi-Fi Rush is a clear example that a video game should always aim to be fun and empathetic to a player's need, which is wanting to play something straightforward without silly barriers and unuseful explanations. The musical elements, the animation, the character design, everything delivers an attractive product worth enjoying. We need more titles like these that are published by surprise.

When writing this review, Tekken 8 is the most refined combat experience in the market. It features a highly entertaining storyline that develops each fighter's narrative.

Technically, it is an experience that fans of the series will adore.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is just what you expect from a remastering of the first three games in the series. It's not a remake itself and it's not perfect either, but it's certainly the best way to save the galaxy again without much of the hassle that the original games suffered from.

Neva is a brilliant video game in every sense. It immerses us in an adventure constructed with various types of tension. The story, sustained between mechanics and landscapes, envelops us, pushing movement with naturalness and skill. The sophisticated rhythm the game imposes is based on the danger and pain felt throughout the space. The title is perfectionistic, with each aspect being harmonious. Neva is lucid and filled with nuanced symbols, undoubtedly allowing us to savor the delicacy of pain, growing, staying here, and continuing on.

The real value behind It Takes Two comes from its strong gameplay mechanics that create one of the best co-op experiences in the recent generation of video games. Thanks to its solid level design that adds new and simple mechanics constantly, we have a game that anyone can enjoy.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 stands as a surprisingly solid port. Midgar looks spectacular thanks to its lighting, and the package includes Episode INTERmission. In exchange, the game runs at 30fps, uses a softer resolution, and shows inconsistent textures in areas such as the Slums, along with occasional upscaling artifacts. Even so, the combat excels, the story shines, and the docked mode maintains strong stability.

Vanillaware has won the hearts of a niche and seeks to expand its audience with new proposals that analyze and improve other franchises' shortcomings.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a great deal for those who didn't own the original Wii U game, but what about those who did? The game has discrete adjustments to both its mechanics and graphics and it doesn't feel like a common port. On the other hand, the Bowser's Fury experience is short and good, but also a forced addition to justify the relaunch of Super Mario 3D World on Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon Pokopia is a wholesome management, building, and cooperative experience that blends ideas from Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Builders, yet maintains a distinct identity of its own. Although it can feel somewhat overwhelming at times, the gameplay remains highly engaging and ultimately delivers a message of hope: even in a desolate and harsh setting, dedication and collective support can rebuild anything.

Dead Space is a remake that manages to surpass the original entry. Its story feels complex, and the gameplay mechanics are more robust than in the first game. It should serve as an example for any upcoming remake that wants to pay homage to the original work while making changes to enhance its impact with audiences old and new.

It is a pleasant surprise to find in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade a game that takes advantage of the new generation of consoles, in this case, the PS5. The game loads amazingly fast, both the performance and the graphics options look flawless and the Yuffie expansion is an entertaining addition to the product.

Virtuos studio development of Nier Automata: The End of Yorha Edition was incredible and outstanding. It is a port of a game that we didn't know we needed on Nintendo Switch. Sure, it's not a perfect game, but it does the job of providing a solid experience that you will enjoy. The experience of this work by Yoko Taro is worth it from a Nintendo Switch.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 now runs at 120 FPS or 4K thanks to next-gen hardware. If you like skating games you will immediately realize that we have a winner here, but in order to see the graphical improvements, you will need a trained eye. This update has a cost, so I would only recommend it if it's the first time you dive into this remaster, if you already had the Deluxe edition or if you feel the need to start using your Xbox Series right now.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach shows that Hideo Kojima took seriously all the feedback from the previous game, delivering a sequel that is much more varied, engaging, and even more chaotic at times. Its vast amount of content, fascinating characters, and stunning graphics make it one of the best games of the year and an experience that no one should miss.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a highly emotive experience as you empathize with Ichiban Kasuga and the honorable perspective of Kazuma Kiryu. The gameplay mechanics are those of a solid and entertaining RPG that feels manageable. Overall, we have a robust video game with many hours of gameplay, but with certain paywalls like the one for New Game + that should be absent, detracting from an outstanding gaming experience.

The wait was worth the time, because Studio MDHR just delivered a whole new experience to Cuphead with the Delicious Last Course. This DLC not only improves the game in different areas, but somehow takes advantage of new technologies that make gaming better. The new Boss Fights are challenging and Ms. Chalice brings new entertaining game mechanics.

Resident Evil Requiem is a strong entry that successfully balances the two gameplay styles that define Capcom’s survival horror saga through its dual protagonists. At the same time, it delivers a narrative that closes certain plot threads while introducing new ones that will likely sustain the franchise for years to come. Although it presents some visual issues, its engaging gameplay more than compensates, keeping players entertained throughout and even encouraging multiple playthroughs.

Every mechanic, level, and conversation between Mio and Zoe is designed to make you smile, think, and engage in collaboration. In a landscape where multiplayer titles often lean towards competitiveness, Split Fiction stands as a tribute to teamwork, communication, and empathy. For veteran players or those new to this type of game, Hazelight's title is a safe, fun, and memorable choice. And if you have a Nintendo Switch 2, there's no excuse: it's the cooperative game you've been waiting for.

Alan Wake II makes the 13-year wait worth it with a very ambitious sequel. Alan Wake II story is one of the most interesting and engaging in Remedy's story as a video game developer and gives equal weight to both protagonists. This game's decision to go for survival horror gives us one of the best experiences of the genre, with mechanics that take advantage of each of its characters. It's a game that feels like two in one, which everyone should try.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut adds good production values and more enjoyable moments to this solid indie game from two years ago. It is a unique experience that any gamer should try. However, the PS5 version had few adjustments and was initially buggy. Play it here only if you don't have a PC that can run it.

The price is really abusive, at least in Mexico. Nobody should pay 1,799 MXN for a video game. The best thing you can do is look for the best deal in the not too distant future, because there is no point in paying those prices when the console will also soon go up in price.

Once again, Capcom proves that the monster-hunting formula has no limits; it can constantly evolve and grow. Monster Hunter Wilds improves everything done in Worlds and Rise and presents it in a fresh game with exciting combat mechanics that leave you breathless, especially when you have a massive monster in front of you and the courage to face it.

Red Dead Redemption on Nintendo Switch 2 revives Rockstar's classic western with an exemplary technical upgrade: stable 60 FPS, HDR, DLSS, and an innovative Joy-Con mouse mode that improves aiming. Its open world, memorable narrative, and the inclusion of Undead Nightmare make the experience feel modern, fluid, and excellent in both docked and handheld play. It stands as the best way to play this masterpiece within the Nintendo ecosystem.

Thanks to the Mr. X Nightmare DLC, Streets of Rage 4 feels fresher, more challenging and with more options to enjoy a game that already felt complete. The new animations in the added movements and the Survival Mode are such great additions and make this a more robust experience.

Pentiment is a grand narrative and illustrated success. The story is true to its historical context, and the manuscripts are beautiful. The sound section is welcoming, and the presentations of the characters are humorous and transparent. This game shows you a little piece of history and human relations in context. It will teach you curious historical facts you may not know while you solve a medieval mystery: through the gossip of years and years.

Tunic is a game that combines all its features in exciting ways. From its design to its visual and sound section, it feels like a loveable experience. Everything comes together to give us an experience worth enjoying, and the Nintendo Switch allows you to take it everywhere.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is not a revolutionary step for the series and avoids risks. However, it does come at a time when the duo needed to return to our lives and the PlayStation 5 required good games. They are both in luck.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles marks the return of one of the most memorable games in Square Enix's history. One can easily argue that it also stands as one of the best Final Fantasy titles ever. Furthermore, with its core gameplay mechanics intact and the necessary quality of life adjustments, a game that had aged remarkably well now rejuvenates to demonstrate that it still possesses the foundations to be one of the greatest tactical RPGs in history.

Horizon Forbidden West shows how humanity is its own worst enemy while following the story set up in the first game. It has great game mechanics, which will keep you playing every single mission in the game.

We've played the concept of "eternal return" in video games for decades, but Deathloop gives it a unique twist and turns it into a central part of its mechanics and plot. Repeating their trusted and tried formula, Arkane Studios improved on it until Deathloop came to be; and while not perfect, it's only a few loops away from it.

Metroid Dread is an excellent return to the Samus saga with an interesting story and solid mechanics, although it does have a few problems with its new villains.

The true value of Monster Hunter Rise lies in three key areas. The first is adding game mechanics that strengthen the exploration of hunting scenarios, the second is the attractive design of the monsters you face, and finally, playing with others is easy. With that in mind, you have one of the most robust multiplayer games in Nintendo Switch.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo Switch fully achieves the goal of bringing back the best game in the Paper Mario series.

Several quality-of-life adjustments make it a must-play experience for series fans. It's funny and still retains those key elements to be considered a timeless RPG.

Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways is a DLC that is very much worth purchasing, making very welcome additions to the combat and story that make it feel like an excellent add-on and not just more of the same. In addition, it lays the foundation for what awaits this beloved Capcom franchise.

This is the best and most attractive installment of a Formula 1 game in recent years. Codemasters has achieved this by building on a 2015 engine, but maybe in a couple of years we will see a truly next generation game that takes advantage of all the good elements that we have today. The future of the franchise is certainly exciting.

Although it is a great video game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may fall into the conversation of not being an experience for every player, which is understandable due to its overwhelming character progression system. However, over time, you will find a thought-provoking title where every decision you make matters, and the outcome is just a piece of the puzzle in Henry's life.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is an excellent collection of the last games Naughty Dog developed for this franchise, but they should have tried porting the very first three installments instead of these. However, the development of Iron Galaxy was outstanding, and the gaming experience is enjoyable as long as you have an up-to-date mid-range or high-end rig. There is no doubt that the titles in this collection are of very high quality and are worth enjoying on PC. Perhaps in this way, PlayStation will be encouraged to bring its franchises to this platform faster.

Finishing a trilogy successfully in any entertainment medium is not an easy task in videogames. However, IO Interactive managed to close the new story of Agent 47 in a remarkable way. Maybe it did not offer new gameplay mechanics, it even removed modes from past installments, but the level design did bring a new depth to Hitman III that we had not seen before. Without having to change the usual Hitman formula, IO Interactive gave us in Hitman III a game with replay value, challenges to overcome and content in the short, medium, and long term that will surely extend its life way after launch.

Atlus did a masterful job with Persona 3 Reload. It's not just a visually appealing game; it breathed new life into an already excellent title. Those who have already enjoyed this game will feel right at home. At the same time, newcomers will have an experience that efficiently blends dungeon crawler elements with a life simulator.

Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut improves all technical aspects in its PlayStation 5 version. Not only on a visual level, but also on loading times and the great use of the DualSense controller. It looks great in 4K, although we must say that the expansion does not have great visual improvements. The Isle of Iki complements the campaign well with a new story that involves some mystical aspects, but these blend well into the plot without making them feel out of place.

Terrifying and enigmatic, Incryption is an unparalleled experience that proves that you don't need miles of exploration or complicated dynamics to fascinate, horrify, and simultaneously teach you how much fun card games can be, especially when you add a few dungeons to them.

Final Fantasy XVI is a bet by Square Enix that went very well. His coming-of-age transition gives us one of the most complex stories in the franchise, and its frenetic combat could draw more people into this long-running saga. Its high narrative quality, exciting battles, and extraordinary visuals make this video game an experience everyone should try.

Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection proves that Naughty Dog doesn't just create solid gaming experiences with incredible cutscenes and deep, detailed environments. The study that also delivered The Last of Us: Part II shows us that it knows how to adapt its games to the new hardware available and that the results will always be outstanding.

Gran Turismo 7 is one of those games that takes full advantage of the features of PlayStation 5. Loading times are minimal, audio design is impeccable and driving with the DualSense makes the gaming experience much more attractive. The menu design is too simple, but it is necessary for newer users to learn in a much more enjoyable way about motorsport culture.

The lack of a more precise pointer control may disappoint some veterans, but it does not diminish the magnificence of the design, pacing, and imagination in each adventure. For first time players, it will be love at first orbit. For veterans, it provides an opportunity to reunite with two of the finest platforming games ever created.

Saros builds on the foundation of Returnal and pushes it into a more flexible and ambitious space. Housemarque delivers a roguelite with outstanding combat and a far more approachable run structure thanks to its progression system. The result is a brilliant game that refines the studio's formula.

Suppose you were very patient and hoped that Monster Hunter Rise would come out on PS5. Guess what, congratulations. In that case, you will have a very worthy version of an entertaining video game that, until now, could only be enjoyed on two different power platforms. The battles against the enormous monsters, the duels to defend your village, and even the music make the gaming experience worthwhile.

Tales of Arise proposes new ideas for a long-lived series where we thought we had already seen it all. After this, the franchise can no longer go back to what it was before.

This is an adventure that you will remember for years.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty fixes many of the base game's errors and gives us a new mission chain worthy of James Bond himself. The change in the talent trees makes the character build more friendly for new players since it encompasses the talents you need depending on the characteristics you decide to enhance, whether stealth, hacking, brute force, or weapons. The strong influence caused by the Edgerunners series is noticeable, of which we will see several references, especially in the use of Cyberware. In short, CD Projekt Red does a good job and gives us the experience we should have.

Bionic Bay offers a wonderful experience that combines precise platforming challenges with constant changes in its mechanics. It is set in a world that is both beautiful and mysterious, inviting you to lose yourself in it for hours to uncover its secrets. This makes it one of the best indies of 2025 so far.

Marvel's Spider-Man was already a solid, entertaining, action-packed game with enough storylines to capture your imagination on PS4. The same thing happens with the PC version, but here you will have access to a series of graphic customization options that are not available on PS5. The experience is greatly improved thanks to the diversity of resolutions, making the game visually stunning and an experience that no one should miss.

From the first few minutes, it's noticeable that 343 Industries poured its heart into the Halo Infinite campaign. Everything looks cared for, greatly detailed, and it offers an unbeatable experience in Xbox Series.

It's a must-buy and a game that will be worthwhile to play on more than one occasion.

It is a history lesson any RPG fan should take. Visually, it is perfect, and its music is exceptional. It is one of the must play games for the remainder of 2024.

Diablo IV mixes everything good from past installments and gives the player a product that can be overwhelming at first but then very entertaining after a couple of hours. The story is fun but hard to follow, and the character classes provide different perspectives on what combat can offer. New and old adventurers will enjoy a fight to the death where defeating Lilith is far from the end of the journey.

It seems that it was a simple task to bring Monster Hunter Rise to PC because the result was pretty okay, especially when it comes to performance. The only bad thing is that its graphics don't look better, even if the resolution is 4K. Nevertheless, it's worth your time, you're going to have fun from first to the last hunt.

The remake of Silent Hill 2 has arrived to quell doubts and present us with a commendable reimagining of the original game. It preserves the foundations of its intriguing narrative while expanding it organically and remarkably.

The price of Mario Kart World makes you think twice about whether it's a game you should buy at launch for a console that isn't cheap either. Together, the console and the game form a winning combination that will provide you with hours of entertainment, as they are both high-quality products. If it's within your budget, you won't regret it, because this is a title that has all the correct elements for hours of fun, whether playing with friends, online, or solo.

How well Nioh 3 turned out is no coincidence. Team Ninja shows once again that it understands how to craft soulslike games, delivering a truly entertaining experience.

This is another well rounded installment that you will enjoy from start to finish.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an excellent Metroidvania. Its combat mechanics are very entertaining, and the level design is challenging, so ambitious that you will want to finish it more than once because of how fun it can be. This game deserves a chance and stands out as one of the best in the first half of 2024.

The Witch of Umbra is back, and in a way where she looks spectacular, intense, and very entertaining, but at other times, its game encounters both visual and performance problems that detract from the experience. Fortunately, in its overall execution, Bayonetta 3 is a shining example that, when they put their minds to it, PlatinumGames can still make outstanding games.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a game that will not only attract the attention of players who want to consume something with a nostalgic flavor.

Silent Hill F demonstrates that the franchise still possesses substantial vitality, delivering a game that recaptures the tension and psychological horror of the original trilogy while introducing an engaging evolution in combat and a narrative that rivals the best in the series, inviting repeated engagement. No fan of either the franchise or the genre should overlook it.

Total War: Warhammer III wrapped up this saga with a colossal and quintessential experience, that feels like the end of this world. Hands down, it's the best one in the franchise and one of the 2022 Game of the Year contenders.

Returnal's jump to PC is a clear example of a commitment to bring PlayStation games to more players. And even though the result could be better, the game still retains the quality with which we met it on the console. It even looks much better and shows that, with the proper hardware, a video game can still look much better.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a great return for the archaeologist to video games. It offers an adventure that respects his cinematic legacy and feels made with great love for the franchise. However, its combat and performance hold it back from being truly unmissable.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection feels like the definitive version of this spin off, thanks to its enhanced exploration, increased combat complexity, and more robust side quests. It stands as a highly entertaining RPG that showcases the potential of the Stories series, although certain design choices feel outdated and slightly hold the experience back.

Yes, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is still that excellent game that amazed us in its console launch, but we expected far more from the PC version. It's maddening really, that with all the technological advancement it doesn't look better. This is not the port that consumers deserve, but the one that Square Enix could deliver.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is one of the best ports the Nintendo Switch has received. Although it doesn't have the graphical power of its bigger counterparts, it still maintains all the challenge, fun, and variety levels of the original game, making it an action title worth trying.

Dragon's Dogma II takes everything from its predecessor and enhances it to give us one of the most entertaining RPGs of today. Its flashy combat, satisfying exploration, lively and uncertain open world, and complex pawn system make getting lost in its fantasy world a delight, although it has some technical issues.
