    Chronos: Before the Ashes isn't bad and isn't good either, it's somewhere in between where you don't have a reason not to play it, but you don't have a reason to play it either.

    Sherlock Holmes Chapter One satisfies the need for an immersive detective simulator but fails to provide a conclusive result that shows the truth behind some of its mysteries.

    Sea of Solitude is an interactive experience that succeeds in what it set out to do, and we welcome its positive message. However, the storytelling is a bit weak and not as subtle as we would've preferred as it is conflicting with the game's artistic direction, and if you can't relate to the game's topics then there is not much left for you.

    Song of Iron is a short journey that struggles to keep us entertained, but in the end, it has some qualities that signify the potential that its lone creature has for creating better experiences in the future.

    Recompile succeeds where it doesn't need to and fails where it should, the story is unexpectedly intriguing, yet the gameplay is dull and frustrating.

    At its core its a fun and stimulating experience, although it's plagued by its technical shortcomings and the absence of challenge from a certain point in the experience.

    Astor: Blade of the Monolith is a fun and simple experience that doesn't set itself apart from the others, but that doesn't prevent the player from enjoying it.
    • 69 Metascore

    Gameplay is good and technical and sometimes can recreate the thrill of the sport, but it is not easy to pick and play and AI can be really cheap. Content is rich and varied, but the game is missing stars like the Swiss maestro.

    Mafia II isn't the definitive edition we would want for such a great game as its filled with bugs and suffers in performance, although the story is still a good enough to reason to try it if you didn't play the original.

    Nuclear Blaze is an expertly crafted game that can keep you thrilled fighting fires and discovering secrets the whole way through, but it sadly ends when it becomes really interesting.

    Destroy All Humans! is a fun game but that fun doesn't last for long.

    Wasted potential: I don't think I can find any better description for this game. Summer Catchers is a gorgeous looking game with an outstanding atmosphere, but it had to ruin all that with a weak gameplay.

    Super Mario Party is a unique game for the Switch. It could've been the best game in the whole series, but the simplified boards and the friendliness nature of the game lessened the tension between players that made Mario Party very memorable in the first place.

    Episode 4 continues to provide the same atmospheric experience presented by the previous episodes and we are interested in the next episode already.

    Attack on Titan 2 will offer good entertainment for the series fans, but it feels like more of the same instead of being a true sequel.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The focus went to combat which is fun and refreshing but enemies aren't varied enough for it to carry the whole game. There are many weak points in Forspoken... be it the mediocre side-content, or the repetition, or how unimpressive the game looks, etc. Storytelling disappoints too. Sure the game is ambitious, but the end result is far from being satisfying. Still, combat-focused lovers may find something to like here.

    A Hat in Time is a decent game that suffers from some technical issues, and while it doesn't present anything new for the platforming genre, it has the potential to provide a better experience future installments if it thinks out of the box more and more.

    Loot River feels like an unfinished product as some mechanics don't work probably on many occasions, and the content doesn't do much to encourage beginning another cycle.

    Juicy Realm has a great audio visual presentation that is very colorful and full of charm and personality, shooting is also fun with a variety of weapons.However, the game feels very limited, there is no real progression system and soon you will have the feeling that you saw everything the game has to offer.It is a good game, but the replay value isn't there.

    Hellbound is a decent game inspired by the 90's shooters, although we wished it had more content and more character to it.

    Ravenlok looks like the fairy tale we've been waiting for for a long time but behind its mesmerizing world. We find a simple and easy game focused on younger gamers.

    It might not be as polished as the console version, but it still remains an entertaining platformer especially for a portable gaming device.

    Snake Pass is a fun Platformer that is different than anything we had seen in the past. It kicks off with a promising beginning that might deliver us something much better in the near future.

    Sable has an intriguing concept and a unique creative direction, but the plethora of technical shortcomings make it more painful than enjoyable.

    Despite feeling limited by development resources with mediocre A.I for enemies and limited movements, Aragami has a certain rhythm to its gameplay and it can be quite addictive sometimes. I don't think stealth games fans will be disappointed. The storytelling is also good with slow and satisfying world/characters building. This version has small technical issues though.

    Way of the Hunter brings us a hunting simulator that would have been a great experience. Due to its steep learning curve and various problems, it turned out disappointing.
    • 72 Metascore

    Team Sonic Racing is a solid enough karting experience, but it feels like a major step back from the brilliant Transformed, and doesn't offer enough to present itself as a valid competitor to Mario Kart 8.
    • 70 Metascore

    Despite an eye-catching art style. Keeping interest in Greak: Memories of Azur is difficult due to the impractical controls and some unfortunate design choices.

    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.

    White Shadows does a good job of representing a dark industrial dystopia with an interesting choice of music to accompany some scenes. Yet, some narrative decisions are incoherent, and gameplay is lacking.

    Sir Lovelot looks great but doesn't feel so great. It fails to leave an impression due to the plain level design and the absence of challenge.

    Little Witch Academia is a game that is aimed at the series fans first and foremost. It is hard to recommend this game to anyone else because of its bland environments and repetitive events, despite some unique designs that we liked.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is more focused on casual players who look for a fun, simple multiplayer experience. However, the game lacks value in its content, not to mention its tendency to drive you to pay to unlock characters.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Monkey King: Hero is Back doesn't present a challenge nor an interesting story, it's a game for younger players who want to punch monsters in the face, although the high price point compared to its content doesn’t help as well.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While having the potential to present an enjoyable competitive experience, the camera and the instability of the game makes it unworthy of the players time or money, at least for the time being.

    If you can ignore the various technical issues and the repetitive combat, then you may enjoy the survival experience that Fade to Silence has to offer. otherwise, this game doesn't give much to enjoy.

    We are loving the atmosphere of this again and this aspect remains excellent in this series, but we are doing the same things again and again each episode and this episode felt shorter than the first two.

    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.

    Little Hope does provide a grasping story in general but fails to enrich it with more details and meaningful interactions between characters.

    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World could've done much more to present a fun experience, the limited and primitive combat and the repetitiveness make this remake a visually updated version of an outdated game.

    One Piece: World Seeker is a game for the fans, it has its enjoyable moments in the beginning but the scarce amount of combos and repetitiveness takes that little joy away.

    Even after a year, the PS5 version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is also frustrating. Perhaps the studio should have postponed the game by another two years to refine it. Despite the deep survival system, realistic shooting, and the beautiful atmosphere of its world, the technical issues, poor performance, and strange design decisions make the experience more frustrating than enjoyable, and the game fails to deliver on what the developers had promised.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The remake excels at presenting the experience with a captivating art style and good soundtracks. However, it fails to learn from the platformers of today and sticks with the outdated design of the original game.

    Sword of the Necromancer isn't really a bad game, and if it was released during Gameboy days it would've probably received much better. There is a soul in this game and the care is obvious, but unfortunately the gameplay feels very limited and not really engaging. There are much better games out there.

    Transference is a very short experience. The puzzles don't represent any challenge and the story lacks anything that makes it intriguing. In the end, its a forgettable experience.

    • 64 Metascore

    This isn't a bad game, but it brings nothing new. The lack of challenge may make it more suitable for younger players but it isn't worth it if you are looking to test your platforming skills.

    One-Way Ticket is a tragic and gruesome story. characters are believable and realistic, backgrounds are nice and colorful, and music is touching.However, the sad fact is the English translation of this work is horrible, and affects enjoyment of its events and conversations greatly. performance is also a bit sluggish, and the novel is not fully voiced.
