    If you like what Assassin’s Creed has become, then you’ll enjoy Valhalla. It’s fun, big and beautiful, but it’s also repetitive and predictable.

    It isn't perfect, but it is a great surprise every fan of strategy/card games should try.

    It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

    The Taiwanese studio PINX Games blends Slay the Spire and Into the Breach in a deep, accessible, and highly enjoyable strategy and deck-building game that allows for numerous different strategies within its hexagonal arena, despite its unattractive artistic design, especially in the interface.

    Remnant is a game meant to be played with a friend, as this is when how its concept truly shines. There are some shortcomings, however, it’s a solid effort for a team like this.

    Some people may thing it's just an adaptation, but there's much more behind it. It mixes up the racing gameplay with the creative essence of LittleBigPlanet, resulting in a good karting title with a great potential for content creation, and offering more than we expected.

    Tales of Vesperia is a solid role-playing game, built upon the canonical bases of the japanese genre. The characters go through an epic story, with moments of drama and also some bits of humor. Its intense combat mantains the tradition of the series, and it also has a good technical part.

    Perhaps it is difficult to explain and understand where the strengths of the Road 96 concept lie, but we can assure you that we are facing a very good game that makes the most of its curious narrative exercise, one in which the linearity of a cinematic story is combined with the procedural nature of a 'choose your own adventure', all this while it is played with making decisions that help to build a plot that we feel as our own, although perhaps not so much. At times the game's history seems too on track for that player's agency to matter, at least that's the feeling it gets, and between that and the fictional disambiguation, which makes it fall into multiple genre clichés that prevent it getting wet in the topics it deals with, subtracts points from a work that is otherwise the most interesting that has been published this year.

    In Star Ocean: The Last Hope its gameplay excels, with intense and satisfying combat which give the game a good pace. But its story is really shallow, and lacks something in character and situations building, although it keeps the gamer interested enough to keep playing.

    This is, without a doubt, the best version of this unforgettable adventure. A PSP game at its core, but with many new features that make it feel much more modern.

    It's short. Very short. But it's also a great game that those looking for a retro-looking action game should definitely consider.

    The first two episodes of The Long Dark's story mode are a great way to start off the official launch of the game. Great survival experience, tons of things to do and, hopefully, the best is yet to come.

    Volume is a stealth/puzzle game that, even though it's not particularly innovative, is incredibly well-designed and balanced.

    Project Mirai DX works pretty well as a spin-off, and we think it's a perfect fit if you enjoyed previous Hatsune Miku games, but at the same time you're looking for something slightly different.

    A game that finds the balance between the new and the classic survival horror. If you like being scared with an infiltration-based gameplay, it's a great option, but if you like Alien as well, it is a game you cannot miss.

    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.

    A great example of what an expansion should be. A reasonable amount of content, a reasonable price and a great experience no matter if you played Second Son or not.

    As a remaster it could’ve been better, but it still manages to keep all the fun intact. It’s one of the most unique hack & slash games ever made, and if you missed it on Wii U, you shouldn’t miss this second chance.

    This is a great graphic adventure that works pretty well, but really shines because of its art direction.

    Storyteller is a unique experience, very original and fun, although the core idea ends up feeling a bit unexploited.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers its most polished PS5 experience, brilliantly leveraging DualSense for deep immersion via adaptive triggers and motion controls. It delivers clearer progression through diverse challenges, but inconsistent visuals and flat AI voices occasionally detract. Crucially, forthcoming PS VR2 support promises unparalleled virtual piloting.

    Super Woden: Rally Edge masterfully revives classic arcade rally, delivering fantastic gameplay and satisfying progression that keeps me deeply engaged. Although some tracks feel uninspired or brief, and the music can become repetitive, its blend of retro charm and modern ideas, alongside solid local multiplayer, provides a highly recommendable and challenging experience.

    The transition to cards has been successful for these warriors. A very engaging game with a well-balanced free-to-play system that it's worth a try.

    Although it ends up feeling repetitive, we've really enjoyed playing and exploring the world of Wildlands with friends. If you're looking for a coop game that can give you an arcade or a strategic approach to 3rd person open-world action, make sure you give this a try.

    A great fighting game that's better than ever. If you already own it, there aren't too many reasons for the upgrade, but if you don't, it's the best way to enjoy it.

    This title is ideal if you’re looking for a puzzle game with tons of content that will make you think. It doesn’t do many new things, but its smart design and charm are more than enough.

    This standalone expansion delivers a tighter, more action-focused campaign with new weapons, environmental executions, and a deeper look into RoboCop's character, while maintaining the series' satirical tone and fan-service appeal, though its weak enemy AI, technical issues, and uneven playable character sections slightly diminish the experience.
