This is a fun game, with solid gameplay but not so solid roguelike design. However, we’ve had a really good time with it.- Vandal

In this post-apocalyptic world filled with charm, My Time at Sandrock offers a delightful blend of social simulation, farming management, and crafting, though its intricate crafting systems may deter some players. Despite its humble visuals and somewhat outdated design, it presents a vast and enjoyable adventure, making it one of the genre's finest offerings.- Vandal

Assassin's Creed Shadows on Switch 2 delivers a surprisingly robust native port, achieving stable 30 FPS and fast loading times through pragmatic visual sacrifices. While evident cutbacks in textures and physics temper its graphical ambition, the core gameplay remains intact. This version serves as a commendable entry point or a perfect portable complement, despite minor menu quirks and the temporary absence of launch DLC.- Vandal

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best and most influential games ever made, but this version feels a little bit lazy. Capcom could’ve improved the performance or include new controls to make the most of the hardware, but it hasn’t.

We really liked Slender Threads. It's a title that draws inspiration from the classics to tell a paranormal story with a lot of humor, and although the ending left us a little cold, we loved everything else. It's entertaining from start to finish, with personality and fun, and there's little more we can ask for from a game like this. If you like the genre and miss the old-fashioned graphic adventures, we think this is a very good option.- Vandal

With its charming hand-drawn pixel art style, addictive kingdom-building mechanics, and quirky "only works when you watch it" twist, The King is Watching delivers a fun and original mix of strategy and roguelite elements, though its reliance on luck, occasional chaos, and lack of a proper story mode can lead to frustration.- Vandal

This is the launch title everyone should get, provided they like the action-adventure genre. A pocket blockbuster which can resist the comparison with the domestic entries and makes good use of the touch screen to add extra gameplay features.

In short, PGA Tour 2K25 expands and refines what we saw in the previous installment with revamped swing mechanics, more customization and progression options, MyCAREER tweaks to make tournaments more dynamic, and new online competitive modes. However, after two years we were expecting a bigger leap, and its focus on a structure more centered on missions and recurring objectives can end up being a bit unbecoming of a game of this type, at least at first. In any case, it is a highly recommended title for fans of the series, and we believe that those who enjoyed the previous installment (or the demo, whose progress can be carried over to the final version) will also enjoy this title.- Vandal

If the next main game of the blue hedgehog manages to maintain the level of quality, spectacularity and complexity of the levels of Shadow Generations while polishing the formula of open areas of free exploration that we saw in Frontiers and with which they have continued to experiment and test ideas here, we are convinced that the great future that Sonic told us about in 2011 is closer than ever to becoming a reality.- Vandal
