Beautiful, unique and different. Gorogoa is an incredible puzzle game that feels short, but manages to deliver an incredible sense of discovery and surprise every single second.

A perfect example of how to bring a series born in home console to portable gaming without making any sacrifice in visuals or in gameplay.

Death Stranding 2 refines the formula of its predecessor with deeper emotional storytelling, improved traversal and combat mechanics, and an audiovisual presentation that borders on cinematic excellence; while it loses some of the surprise factor from the original, it compensates with more varied gameplay and a broader appeal, though it still won't resonate with everyone.
