One of the best JRPG ever made lands in Europe for the first time, with localised text and the addition of Radical Dreamers. It’s great to be able to finally play it, even if it falls short as a remaster.- Vandal

This charming debut by Zockrates Laboratories stands out for its beautiful handcrafted visuals and a clever material-swapping mechanic that adds depth to platforming and puzzle-solving, although its limited freedom, weak enemy design, and chaotic level organization slightly hold it back from greatness.- Vandal

Ghostbusters is a good game, a bit far from the great 3rd person action titles in gameplay and, specially, in visuals, but it has two things which make it a unique game, the originality of its gameplay, and the atmosphere: the sensation of being starring a Ghostbusters movie, interacting with, learning of and following the path of a myth of the eighties.- Vandal

One of the entries in the Tiger Woods series which has included more new features in this generation of consoles, including a great mode in which we can relive Tiger Woods career.

Stellar Blade is a game that ambitiously attempts various elements, but not all of them hit the mark equally. Its shining moments come in the form of exhilarating combat, action-packed levels, and epic boss battles. However, its narrative delivery, open-world segments, and secondary missions falter, leaving some ideas underdeveloped, such as underutilized platforming mechanics and a neglected equipment system. Despite its flaws, it ultimately offers an enjoyable, diverse, and entertaining adventure, especially for those seeking straightforward action. While it falls short of its full potential, Stellar Blade remains a title worth considering for its fun factor alone.- Vandal

Even though it is a step forward from the previous episode, there are still some AI-related issues that need to be fixed. Apart from that, the lack of campaign mode –so far, it'll be added as free DLCs later– makes it a platform where, at the moment, we can only enjoy the community creations.- Vandal

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best and most influential games ever made, but this version feels a little bit lazy.

If you like anime and videogames you shouldn't lose this game, as it can be considered an ultimate experience that blendes perfectly both worlds, and manages to engage the players until the very end. The problem is that the game is a bit short, around six hours, and is not a very replayable one. Although the blend of action and cinematics is perfect, those players who are just looking for an action game might be a bit disappointed for the amount of non-playable time.- Vandal
