    Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy is a very conservative RPG, so it might not be the best option for newcomers. Still, if you know what it has to deliver, it can be a good option.

    Although the WRC license is appealing, gameplay-wise the game fails to deliver a believable racing experience, and falls behind some of its competitors.

    With the plot being one of its most worth highlighting features, The Bureau takes the strategy from XCOM and makes it work within a shooter-based gameplay.

    Despite offering strong zombies content, polished movement, and fun multiplayer without SBMM, the game suffers from a hollow, recycled campaign, repetitive online modes, and an overall lack of innovation that makes it feel directionless.

    We miss some "bigger" games, like Pac-Man World or Pac-Man World Rally, but fans of this character will find a good compilation here.

    It's still as clever and fun as the original, and the extra chapter makes it feel a little bit longer. If you're looking for a short but intense experience, Unemchanical won't disappoint you.

    This is a good title that will offer a very good experience to those willing to give it a chance and fight a little bit against its particular combat system.

    A fascinating game. Simple and effective, long and full of content. The game knows how to deal with the player and manages its difficulty in an excellent way. Recommended if you're looking for a new challenge, a platform that makes you think or an original puzzle game.

    Alone in the Dark returns with a solid atmosphere and engaging story, but falls short in gameplay execution, particularly in puzzles and combat. Despite its commendable presentation and character design, the repetitive puzzles and unsatisfactory combat mechanics hinder the overall experience. It's a game with potential, but ultimately struggles to deliver on its promises, leaving fans hoping for future updates to address its shortcomings.

    This should've been a better revision of the classic, but at the end of the day, it still is one of the best fighting games in the history and it's never too late to rediscover it.

    It's fun and entertaining, but there are some issues that we would like to see fixed. We can't deny, though, it has the potential to keep us killing monsters for a long while, no matter if alone or online, which is more than what many games can offer.

    Ride has its issues, but taking into account the fact that there aren't many bike games on next generation consoles, it still is an option.

    It has some limitations that prevent it from reaching the "masterpiece" status, but the experience is worth your time if you like RPGs.

    Hidden Agenda tells us an interesting story, and adds a new type of game to the PlayLink lineup, but unfortunately, it's quite short and not very replayable, considering it is part of a set of games designed to be played with friends.

    While Forever still is a great platformer, we feel it doesn’t come closer to the quality of the original. In any case, if you enjoyed it, you’ll have fun with this one too.

    MonsterBag is a charming experience that doesn't last long, but we think everyone should at least give it a try, particularly if they get it with the PS Plus subscription.

    A detective adventure with puzzles and forensic tests that offers an entertaining but predictable mystery, with a short duration and a low production value. It has a good base for a detective game, but its limitations prevent its strengths from shining more, and you can complete it in very little time if you have experience in the genre.

    This climbing roguelike features procedurally generated levels and creative challenges that leverage physics for a fun and engaging experience, despite its unintuitive controls and occasional frustrating bugs. The whimsical visual style and humorous design add charm, but the game is more suited for solo play rather than cooperative sessions.

    It is imperfect in a mysterious and sordid story that at times seems like an incomprehensible gibberish, but that ends up fitting with a structure that reminds us of Siren. It is imperfect in a combat system that lacks depth and precision, but that makes up for it with originality and rhythms different from those of any other hack and slash. It is imperfect in its gameplay loop, relying too much on a repetition that becomes repetitiveness, but which at the same time poses curious situations. And it is imperfect in its audiovisual finish, where there are tremendous contrasts that show that this is neither an indie game nor a great production, but neither is it something that is right in the middle, but rather it transits in that range as it sees fit. There will be those who think it is a mediocre video game, and it is true that you have to have a certain predisposition to enjoy it, whether for what it proposes in its mechanics, for its setting, for its tone or for the legacy of those who signed it. But we wouldn't want to miss it for anything. It's a victory for gamers and the industry that Slitterhead exists.

    Kiln delivers a refreshingly original multiplayer experience where pottery design directly impacts combat strategy and character stats. This creative depth feels rewarding, yet the title suffers from a severe lack of content at launch. Although its core loop is accessible and fun, the limited modes and maps cause the experience to feel repetitive far too quickly.

    This Asobo Studios game is a good entry in the racing genre, although some aspects, specially the audiovisual part, could have been better.

    The Last Remnant has inside much more than looks indicate. We have loved its great combat system of this good JRPG. You only need to have a little patience and play some hours for the game to take off.

    Nail'd is arcade driving taken to the extreme. A fun game over all, which engages you tu run and jump at incredible velocities.

    Close to the Sun is a great adventure, similar to a walking simulator but deeper and more complex. It does a great job with the setting and the story, although it fails to make the most of its gameplay.

    If you're a fan of the series it is based on, then it's a good option, but if you're looking for a musou you can find better options out there. It doesn't feel like a missed opportunity, but it certainly could have been better.

    It does not have the soul of a Final Fantasy game, but still we had lots of fun playing it. If you take it as a spin-off, then you'll find a very enjoyable game, especially for Lightning fans.

    This remake delivers a visually improved version of a classic SRPG with a complex mech-based tactical system and a mature, politically charged story, but suffers from a poor Spanish translation and a lack of meaningful gameplay innovations; while the enhanced interface and new quality-of-life options help, the game misses the chance to fully modernize or preserve the original’s raw essence.

    Above and Beyond has some great moments, but also some very frustrating ones. It’s a fun experience and even with is flaws it’s a good choice if you just want a solid shooter in VR.

    The core gameplay is still great, and State of Decay 2 continues to offer the absorbing survival experience of the first entry. The co-op mode, its biggest addition, is a little bit flawed and disappointing.
