This is a good port of the original game, but the game itself hasn’t aged very well. It has some good ideas, but we find Much’s Odyssey to be the least interesting entry in the series.- Vandal

First of all, hats off to TFE for bringing Burnout back. It’s a shame the budget is holding back the experience, and some key aspects, like the handling or the physics need some tweaking. A few patches could make it noticeably better, and we hope for a sequel where everything comes together.- Vandal

Zoo Tycoon is too hard for kids and too simple for adults, specially if they're looking for a game to become zoo managers. So we guess that it's meant for parents who want to play with their kids. If you're one of those, then it's a great choice.- Vandal

Square Enix brings us a spin-off of Dragon Quest that reminds us of Pokémon, but with its own style and mechanics, such as monster fusion and seasonal changes. The exploration and the variety of maps are its strong points, but it suffers from technical issues, such as framerate drops and pop-in, and a lack of originality in some of the monster designs.- Vandal

Possessor(s) boasts a compelling art style and an engaging story that surpasses genre averages.

This surreal metroidvania brilliantly translates its iconic source material with a striking art style and sharp, dark humor. It delivers creative boss encounters and an insightful exploration of anxiety.

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.

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.

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
