Erica does some things really well, like giving you choices that really have an impact on the story. However, it all feels a little bit rushed, and answers come before you have time to ask questions.- Vandal

Possessor(s) boasts a compelling art style and an engaging story that surpasses genre averages. However, its potential is severely hampered by frustrating design flaws, including unclear navigation and excessive backtracking. Combat often lacks finesse and variety, compounded by numerous programming errors and a questionable difficulty curve, preventing it from truly standing out.- Vandal

To sum up, OneChanbara is one of the most direct and frantic games on Wii and, despite its multiple flaws -especially in the technical aspect-, it is nonetheless an enjoyable game, provided we like button mashing. Unfortunately, its lack of story -which has not been localized to Spanish- and character depth makes us sometimes wonder if so much zombie massacre is worthwhile.- Vandal

This isometric survival horror title impresses with its striking comic-book aesthetic and 1980s atmosphere, although it ultimately falters in execution. Despite having veterans from the Bloober Team involved, the project suffers from technical inconsistencies and a lack of polish (no pun intended). The core crafting and stealth mechanics show promise, yet the final product feels unrefined and frustratingly clunky.- Vandal

Open Roads offers a heartfelt, human story set in our world, focusing on the journey of a teenage girl and her mother as they unravel family mysteries. Despite its engaging narrative and top-notch voice acting, the game feels dated in gameplay design, lacking the innovation of similar titles like Gone Home and Tacoma. The exploration of emotions and relationships is its strength, but its gameplay mechanics and visual presentation fall short of expectations.- Vandal

Earth vs Mars delivers direct, simple strategy, becoming more varied and strategic in its latter half thanks to the unique Fusiotron mechanic for creating mutant soldiers. However, it's hindered by a poorly designed difficulty curve and a slow start. The story is weak and fails to be comedic, with the game ultimately innovating little despite being an experimental Relic title.- Vandal

A Void Hope presents a dystopian love story with nods to Carpenter and Cronenberg, offering an intriguing premise but failing to fully deliver on its potential. Despite its beautiful pixel art and captivating soundtrack, the gameplay mechanics feel underdeveloped, resulting in missed opportunities for deeper engagement and storytelling. Overall, it's an enjoyable experience with moderate expectations, reminiscent of Hotline Miami's cinematic and abstract qualities, but it leaves a desire for more depth and execution in its gameplay.- Vandal

In short, we liked TIEBREAK, and it left us with some intense and exciting matches, especially once we got used to its gameplay. The huge number of licenses plays in its favour, and the creation options open the door to almost anything we might miss. Right now, it's an enjoyable title with a fantastic foundation, but it doesn't feel like a finished game to us, so we'd recommend keeping an eye on it until, hopefully, future patches make it a serious contender for the best tennis game of the moment.- Vandal
