    Darksiders is back with a fantastic adventure that still delivers an experience true to the series. This is a great adventure both alone or in coop, so don’t let the camera fool you.

    This is a perfect example of a free-to-play title. There's all the content available, and paying for anything is just an option rather than an imposition. On the top of that, is fun, entertaining and full of options.

    Goodnight Universe leverages its innovative webcam control to create an immersive narrative, offering varied situations and a compelling human story with limited inputs, enhanced by excellent narration and music. However, playing without a webcam on consoles diminishes its unique charm, the story briefly stumbles mid-game, and some varied situations can become tedious.

    This is one of the best entries in the series in the last few years, although there's still a lot of room for improvement, particularly on the tech side. It is, in any case, a good game and a solid base to build upon.

    PUBG has managed to create experiences you can't find anywhere else (or at least, you couldn't). It needs to improve some aspects and polish some things to become a legend, but the foundations are already very, very good.

    Even though there's still is room for improvement, we think it's one of the best PES we've played in a long time. If you enjoyed those PES on PS2, you'll probably feel some of its magic is back.

    Death of the Outsider keeps all the virtues of the series, and although it's obviously shorter than the main episodes, the experience remains the same. If you like Dishonored or stealth-based games, don't miss it.

    This is a good remastered, but offers little to those who already played the original game. Still, considering the audience reached by the PS Vita version, it's a good thing that now players have another opportunity to meet Kat, Raven and Syd.

    Jurassic World Evolution 3 is a highly recommended option whether you like dinosaurs or are more in favor of enjoying the management options, always keeping in mind that the true protagonists here are these peculiar creatures, which, by the way, some group will try to save to prevent us, greedy businessmen, from making a fortune exhibiting them in their cages. You know: nature finds a way. We hope logic does too.

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard is, therefore, a good game that is adapted to the new public but that also preserves enough on a narrative level to please the most classic fan who accepts the approach to action-adventure and who will find, once again, a beautiful, well-constructed universe and a new episode that will give much to talk about in the coming months.

    After a long and complicated development, Ghost Recon Future Soldier has resulted in a very good third-person action game. It is recommended for those who are a bit tired of frantic action other titles offer, or classic warfare first-person game. It is not as complex as previous Ghost Recon games, but it is also more accesible and implements great cooperative options.

    A visually stunning, emotionally charged, and narratively focused journey with intense combat and clever perspective-based puzzles, now improved with a flawless 60 fps mode, DualSense features, and extra modes; however, its linear structure, modest gameplay variety, and niche appeal mean it won’t satisfy those seeking more traditional action or puzzle depth.

    REANIMAL delivers a stunning, fast-paced co-op horror adventure, visually captivating and brimming with conceptual power. It maintains a relentless rhythm and impressive scenario variety, especially for local play. However, its simple platforming and puzzles, alongside a broader lack of genre innovation, prevent it from truly breaking new ground.

    Prototype 2 evolves all the good elements from the original, as if it were the Mercer virus. It still lacks something that would make it a superb game, but it is on the way: lots of action and exploration, a slight bit of stealth and a whole city to bring chaos to.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes successfully pays homage to classic JRPGs with its deep storytelling and engaging combat, reminiscent of Suikoden.

    Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a formidable reconstruction that is absolutely faithful to the original games, which includes the additions that were made in different versions, adding even more aspects to make it a very enjoyable RPG today. Due to the high fidelity with respect to the classic, its conventions and a very purist style of play are maintained, something that is aimed especially at veterans. In any case, it is an excellent entry point to discover the Dragon Quest license, and it is important to play it in case in the future you want to be encouraged to discover its narrative sequel, which we will have next year with Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake.

    Resident Evil 3 is a great remake, even if not a very ambitious one. It lacks content, and it even feels like a wasted opportunity to create something bigger that expanded the original story.

    This updated version of the classic RPG features significantly improved graphics, atmospheric lighting, and a modernized UI, while retaining the charm and depth of its original world.

    The minigames that take advantage of mouse mode are notable, and we would have liked to see more that took advantage of the camera and microphone. Despite all this, it's a highly recommended game, as if it was already comprehensive, it's even more so now, adding a touch of experimentation and novelty especially suitable for those who haven't tried the game (or want to expand it, which may also be worthwhile). If you want a long-lasting, high-quality party game, this is the spot you should definitely check out.
