    I never thought Crash Team Racing would be revived after all those years but here we are, playing a faithful remake for the original PS1 game. The game is as challenging and fun as you remember it to be and has been updated to be a modern game too, but we would've preferred 60fps over visuals fidelity, the driving experience wasn't that smooth.

    It may not be as impressive as it once was, but God of War is still a great adventure today with focus on human drama to go alongside its culture rich nature to give it just that extra special feel and meaning. This version is one of the better PC conversions that I had the pleasure to try lately and it surpasses the original in visual fidelity -although slightly - and performance to offer the ultimate experience of this classic journey.

    This is a great re-visit for one of the best horror games of all time, a psychological horror masterpiece. It may not leave an impression that is as strong and as artistic as the original was, but it excels in creating an unsettling atmosphere. It was impossible maybe to recreate the original in the same exact way, so Bloober took their own creative risks, and their own vision and for Silent Hill 2 is outstanding, grounded, and exciting. Not to mention, the game expands on the original in almost every way possible. The gameplay loop, however, is simple compared to other games like Resident Evil, and this may lead to a feel of repetition as the adventure goes on.

    Valfaris is one of the best indie games to come this year. it has a pure, fun, old school action without the complexities of many modern games.Action is intense, challenge is smart, gameplay is rewarding, and pixel-art is truly amazing.

    The Last Guarding is a unique experience that might not suit every gamer. It is a slow based game that requires you to indulge in its amazing world and once you do you will fall in love with it. The heart of the game is the emotion and connection you build with Trico that turns into trust that will take you forward. If only it had a better camera system maybe it would have really been one of the greatest games of this generation.

    Pragmata presents a seemingly simple concept, but that establishes a substantial foundation for the game. This simplicity isn't a weakness; on the contrary, it allows for an enjoyable and addictive gameplay style that cleverly and seamlessly blends hacking and shooting.

Improving this aspect alone would have elevated the game to a much higher level, making it a far more impactful and complete experience.

    Even today, a game like To the Moon will continue to be divisive in players eyes as it uses the medium only to tell an interactive and linear story, without a gameplay focus or branching narrative. For me, I did look at To the Moon from the developer's perspective and the interactive experience it tried to achieve, judging the game for what it is rather than what it is not, and from this perspective... To the Moon is a fantastic entertainment product, a touching story about love, dreams, and bonds.
