There's little to tell about this collection, since it is simply that, a collection. It does have some great games, but there aren't any remarkable additions to the original experience.- Vandal

The Last Campfire gets lost in its good intentions. There’s a sense of shallowness, and overall it feels like a very simplistic adventure that, even if enjoyable, doesn’t seem offer anything special.- Vandal

Three incredible games that, gameplay-wise, have barely aged, packed in disappointing collection with virtually no new features. It’s a shame that Nintendo didn’t try harder to update these games, but that aside, these three Marios remain incredible.- Vandal

Do you like EDF? Then you will like World Brothers 2, because it encapsulates the essence of the series without complications and provides a presentation that is a bit generic but also more polished than usual in other D3 Publisher games. It is an excellent family shooter and therefore we can say that Yuke’s has successfully fulfilled its mission: it is the perfect entry into this universe and the pastime for the fan who has already squeezed out Earth Defense Force 6.- Vandal

Prim is a traditional point-and-click adventure that stands out for its packaging: a somewhat bizarre Kingdom of the Dead depicted in black and white and very pretty, carefully voiced and a very strong soundtrack; simply discovering little by little the design of that world and how they have interpreted the characters of Greek mythology is a pleasure. However, the plot, even with its funny and absurd moments, does not end up engaging because it ends up neglecting its main theme (the relationship between Prim and her father, Thanatos) and because it gets lost in endless expository dialogues. At the same time, there are some puzzles that are fun because of their approach or their humorous resolution, but there are no particularly brilliant puzzles, and some interesting mechanics are wasted and a couple of mini-games are too long, monotonous and frustrating. All in all, Common Colors' game is enjoyable, but with some changes here and there it could go from being a pretty game to a more than remarkable point-and-click adventure.- Vandal

Ghost Giant is a beautiful story in a beautiful world, although sometimes it forgets about the player, leaving them completely out of the action, something you don’t want to see in a VR game. However, if you want a lighthearted point-and-click sort of adventure for PS VR, this is a good option.- Vandal

Ashborne Games and THQ Nordic offer a combination of adventure, survival and real-time strategy games set in the aftermath of World War I, where you must guide a group of soldiers across Siberia in a train. The game features a compelling narrative, a challenging management system, and a stealth-oriented gameplay, but suffers from a cluttered interface, a slow start, and some balance and AI issues.- Vandal
