    The Callisto Protocol's Production value is impressive and its among the best looking games we've ever seen (the characters are life-like), but its a shame that its combat doesn't work very well when you face multiple enemies. Also, we would've liked them to be more varied.

    Don't expect something similar to the excellence of Dragon Quest XI, rather, Treasures feels much closer to Pokemon. It is a fun game overall, but there are shortcomings.

    Need For Speed Unbound has a personalized style to it with some improvements over the previous installments. However, it is still restricted by some concepts that we got fed up with from its predecessors.

    Reunion reunites us with one of our favorite action rpgs of all time; the story of Zack Fair is as humane as ever. This is, in our view, a full blown remake not a simple remaster; literally everything in the game has been improved. You owe it to yourself to play this game.

    The Entropy Centre demands a unique way of solving puzzles with the need to use a variety of tools to achieve your goal. The difficulty stops rising prematurely, but the overall experience is enjoyable, with silly interactions between the characters.

    Sonic Frontiers timidly presented some good ideas with its open world but the execution is ultimately lacking; it recycled many of its past installments mistakes. The game feels repetitive, and it isn't polished enough like we hoped, and the story is also weak and uninspiring.

    God of War Ragnarök is an impactful story about the complicated relationship between father and son in the face of unforeseen circumstances, and a rich adventure that is full of combat and discovery. Similarity with the first game doesn't stop it from being an excellent sequel.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem improves upon the first game in almost every aspect; storytelling, characters, gameplay and content volume. The siblings' trauma is every bit as memorable as Innocence was, if not more.

    Soul Hackers 2 mixes great elements of both Shin Megami Tensei and Persona to come out with a satisfying result overall. Story is well done and exciting, anime-style aesthetics are beautiful, and music by Monaca is engaging. This could be your next RPG sleeper hit.

    Rollerdrome is Roll7 stepping out of their comfort zone and creating something original while trying to retain the magic fans of their games know and love. At the same time, I can't help but to feel that this is more like a concept for something much more complete that is yet to come.

    This game will most likely not be your first experience with the legend of King Arthur, despite that it succeeds in creating its own twisted take on the story and presents its dark view of it. The game is primarily aimed at fans of strategy games, and it poses a reasonable challenge leading to some satisfying battles though missions are a bit repetitive. We can say that it is a really good game but it is not for everyone.

    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.
