    The evolution is there, but we really feel like Konami could have used a couple of months to polish the product. Still, we believe this is the way for PES to be back, and we hope next generation versions will be what we expect from such a franchise. But, please, stop changing things compulsively.

    Going Under not only does a great job as a roguelite, but also when it comes to delivering a great story and narrative. A parody of how business works that you need to play.

    Ride 4 delivers a great amount of content and noticeable enhancements and gameplay improvements, which makes it, even with a few shortcomings, the best entires in the series so far.

    Digital Eclipse has done a great job again to let us rediscover some classics by SNK. We miss some more modern games, but it still a very solid collection.

    Even if this episode has turned the series into a action game – even though there's many survival horror fans out there – we must admit it's a very good game. It provides great closure for the trilogy: long, spectacular and relatively different, but keep in mind that terror is not the main theme any longer.

    Only after some hours does RUSE become what it really is: a challenging, well-made game, although with clumsy first steps, something difficult to accept nowadays, in a market that moves very quickly.

    The ambition of the developers backfired to them, creating a game where the freedom promised isn't there, and it's just hinders the gameplay. However, the story is very interesting and if you embrace the hint system, you can still enjoy it.

    Everhood 2 expands on its predecessor with a more dynamic combat system and a stunning audiovisual experience, despite a weaker story and anticlimactic ending. While it offers a fresh and fun take on rhythm-based battles, the narrative feels disjointed, and repetitive enemy encounters drag down the experience at times.

    Tinykin delivers a fantastic exploration-based adventure, full of puzzles and secret, that’s also beautiful and a fun to play.

    It is one of the best designed games in the Nintendo DS, with extraordinary visuals and an adventure suited for all types of public which won't disappoint anybody.

    Eastshade is a very special adventure. Its narrative, its world and its story are fantastic, although gameplay-wise feels lacking in some areas.

    This is one of the best musou available, and this version just polishes the already outstanding original game. If you like the franchise or the genre, give it a try.

    Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a game made with love and full of charm, but this complete edition is also a missed opportunity to celebrate it. Also, we’ve seen many fantastic beat ‘em ups since its release, making its shortcomings more obvious.

    This brings all the positive and all the negative things of the original, but it plays better than before on console and will continue to get free content in the next few months.

    UFC 4 is an incredible MMA game, but it needs more content. It’s a step forward gameplay-wise, but we feel like it also needs to evolve outside the ring.

    On Switch, Crash is as enjoyable as on any other platform. Yes, it makes some visual sacrifices, but its gameplay and content remain the same.

    ABZU is extremely beautiful, charming and awe-inspiring, but the lack of challenge and its length prevent it from achieving something bigger. Still, it's one of those games that you need to try.

    The wait was long, but it was worth it. This is yet another great episode, with tons of humor and unforgettable moments.

    This is the logical step after Mutant Year Zero. Fun combat and smart stealth sequences in a very accessible game.

    Project Songbird delivers a profound, intimate narrative that masterfully explores trauma through atmospheric horror. Its evocative art direction and powerful message resonate deeply, although the experience suffers from clunky combat and broken stealth mechanics. Despite these technical frustrations and cumbersome inventory management, the emotional journey remains a compelling, hauntingly beautiful achievement in indie storytelling.

    The game expands and improves the series, making it more approachable than ever, but without losing depth, so it offers the same fun, but improved. However, it evolves little in comparison with the previous entry, so those who enjoyed Tropico 3 won't find many new things in this fourth installment.

    Deck Nine has done an amazing job creating this prequel and telling us a new story that fits perfectly into the LiS universe. If you liked the first main season, make sure you play Before the Storm.

    Golf fans don’t have much to choose from, but luckily PGA Tour 2K21 is a solid option. It plays great and it has many ways to enjoy its content, and it also makes a much better use of the PGA license than its predecessor.

    This episodic game continues to evolve, proving that the developers are listening and they are on the right track. If you've played the previous episodes, you won't be disappointed by this one. Actually, you'll be waiting for the next one to come.

    The Count Lucanor is a game in which its strengths are far more important than its weaknesses. Survival and puzzles get together in this adventure that has turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

    We would have asked Red Barrels for a little innovation instead of sticking to the new hide & run mechanics, but still, Outlast is an outstanding survival horror that will terrify pretty much everyone.

    A deep and addictive evolution of the Pokémon formula that introduces dynamic real-time battles, a vibrant and dense Lumiose City, and an impressive technical leap, though its story pacing, repetitive structure, and lack of voice acting slightly hold it back.

    The World Stage mode adds a meaningful single-player experience with unlockable cosmetics and secondary tournaments, while the inclusion of Dural and improved online features enhance replayability, although the mode can become repetitive and the paid DLC for Dural is frustrating. Despite minor drawbacks, the game remains visually appealing and mechanically deep, making it the most complete and polished version of Virtua Fighter 5 to date.

    Lack of gameplay aside, the latest from The Chinese Room failed to make an impact on us. The game is beautiful and the story promising, but at the end of the day we didn't find anything special about it.

    Combination of old features with new ideas makes Anno 1404 a noteworthy expansion.
