Some aspects of Jedi Academy haven’t aged particularly well, although its core remains solid and enjoyable. It reminds us of that time where Star Wars games just wanted to be fun and expand its universe, and as big fans, we’ve loved going back to that time.- Vandal

Hell Yeah! is driven by the absurd. It is something many players will find as a fresh experience, and something some others will find random and stupid. The gameplay is not enough polished, but if you're willing to forgive this and willing to spend a long and crazy while in front of the TV, we beg you to give this a try.- Vandal

"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

This unique indie blends idle mechanics, clicker elements, and adventure mini-games to create a humorous and surprisingly deep reflection on how we spend our time. While some puzzles can be frustrating or disrupt the pacing, the imaginative scenarios and emotional depth make it a standout experience worth discovering.- Vandal

Golf with your Friends is exactly what its title promises. It’s a great game to pick up and play, but it lacks some options that should be mandatory, like quick games with fewer holes, or automatically kicking out idle players, who ruin the fun for the rest.- Vandal

A fast-paced musou with roguelike elements that offers non-stop action and a solid combat system but lacks depth, variety, and polish. While fun in short bursts, its repetitive arenas, low production values, and limited content make it feel like an underdeveloped project rather than a true roguelike alternative to Hades.- Vandal

Battlefield 2042 is a good foundation to build upon, but for now the game lacks content and feels rushed. You’ll probably enjoy if you’re a big fan of the series, but if you’re not, you would be better off elsewhere or, at least, waiting for more content to be added and bugs to be fixed.- Vandal

The most remarkable aspect of this adventure is the constant sense of discovery. Although the puzzles and physics engine don't always quite measure up, the game's overall approach is ideal for unwinding after a hard day, or simply for when we feel like stepping into the skin of one of these little lizards for a while. After all, that is what defines video games: the opportunity to experience adventures that, in any other context, would be unthinkable.- Vandal

A good cycling game, although a bit stagnated.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Edition is brilliant – the only problem is the price. There's no new content except for the online features and the visuals haven't been really upgraded, which lead us to think that the price should have been closer to the PSOne Classics on PSN.
