FIFA 23, as a standalone game, is great, but as a sequel doesn’t really offer any big features to justify this year’s entry.- Vandal

The Golf Club 2 is a good game, quite deep and with many options to create and play with the community. Unfortunately, it hasn't evolved as much as you would think after 3 years, but if you enjoyed the original, this sequel won't disappoint you.- Vandal

Slow Bros.' game combines charming claymation and meticulous craftsmanship with a bold, yet potentially divisive gameplay approach that reflects its protagonist's mundane life and emphasizes narrative over action. Despite losing its focus and reducing interactivity over time, its captivating characters and thought-provoking themes create an unforgettable audiovisual experience for some, while others may find it tedious.- Vandal

Necrovision is overall a good game, with some fun moments and original features, something to praise nowadays... but it does not reach to be a great game.

Millennia delivers a classic 4X strategy experience reminiscent of Civilization, featuring engaging gameplay and innovative ideas such as alternative Eras and city management improvements. However, it falls short due to its cumbersome interface and unbalanced difficulty, which hinder its potential for greatness.

Old School Rally delivers an authentic, arcade-style retro rally experience, perfectly emulating 90s classics with direct controls and distinct vehicle handling across ample content.

Agents of Mayhem is a game with very good ideas and quite enjoyable, but it can't avoid feeling repetitive. Also, its recommended difficulty is ridiculously low, and it makes the game feel more boring than it actually is.

An extinct approach to first-person shooters, like a game locked into a time capsule that has been relased now (which is almost what happened).

"Weird" is the word that best describes Shadow Labyrinth, a textbook 2D Metroidvania with a rather ugly aesthetic, a somewhat strange story and setting, and gameplay that doesn't stand out in any way, with a development that is surprisingly mediocre in its first few hours, but improves considerably in the final part. There are much better options within the genre, but if you're a REAL fan of this type of game and have already played all the important ones, we're sure you'll enjoy it. A title that, despite its shortcomings and lack of standing out in any way, has a "certain charm." In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if it ends up becoming a kind of cult title, one of those games that only grows stronger over the years, given time.- Vandal

Raccoo Venture is a platform game starring a raccoon that must recover the magical relics of his grandfather. It is well designed, and clearly influenced by classics from the 90s like Super Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot3. Some of the most fun levels are ridiculously short, and the combat is lacking in action and variety. The puzzles are challenging and the levels are balanced, but the game does not stand out in any aspect.- Vandal
