    Titanfall 2 is a fun game. Even though it has a short campaign, I had a great time playing it. Multiplayer is fun thanks to the game’s amazing gameplay, but lack of balancing and awkward level design make it a forgettable experience. I can easily say that Titanfall 2 is a good game, but its lack of depth will ensure I won’t be visiting it again anytime soon.

    Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus tries to take the series a colossal step forward and indeed manages to do so in many aspects. Its impressive story and characters deserve a TV series, the combat is exploding and wild and the perk system is really challenging and fun. However, Wolfenstein 2 climbs too high and eventually crashes severely due to extremely unbalanced difficulty levels and clunky stealth and health systems, that make it too difficult even for experienced FPS players. Get psyched for a real grinding.

    Houston, we have a problem - i can't stop playing Starfield, despite its flaws. If you're looking for a Sci-Fi space RPG, this is the game for you to sink hundreds of hours on, even though its main plot is not interesting, its side content is more than enough, with engaging combat, addicting ship building system and more.

    With the good outweighing the bad, Berserk Boy is another good game for an indie industry that isn't afraid to try put out fun and small games. It does need ironing out in some places but all in all, this is a great game.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good, but not great. The combat is fun, the music is phenomenal and the huge and lush world of Alrest is a joy to venture through. But with all that said, the game is plagued by a messy UI system, almost nonexistent map, weird blade acquiring system, terrible and sometimes mediocre plot. It really looks like the game tried its best not be Xenoblade Chronicles X, and was less concerned with building on it’s predecessor.

    Micro-transactions and a very flat career mode kind of spoil what is the best basketball game this year.

    Everything that makes Hitman 2 a good game, also makes it a boring one. You still have the ability to be anything you'd want to be - a silent, smart assassin who can forge anything in this world into his weapon, or an assassin that likes to leave some mess behind him and run away. The absurd part is, despite the endless opportunities to advance and complete your tasks, every mission feels the same, and you can't play 2 missions in a row without having to catch a break or go back to whatever else you have to play. Hitman 2 proves that even creativity could be boring, which is truly a remarkable accomplishment.

    Death Stranding is not a game for every type of player. Its special but repetitive and sometimes outright boring gameplay will make you either love it or stay away from it like fire (or BT). If you have weeks or even months of free time, Death Stranding is the game for you. Otherwise, it’s better to invest it on a real trip with less cargo and no babies.

    The latest installment in the series suffers from several issues, most of which come from a sense of blandness and flat characters that fail to engage. At times, it feels as if the game is trying too hard to avoid offending anyone while still aiming to be universally liked, which makes it feel cautious rather than bold. Is this the game I was hoping for? Not really. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. In a single sentence: It’s a good RPG, but it’s not a good Dragon Age game.

    If you're not willing to put some hours just learning the ropes, this is a Marathon that you'll need to run in the opposite direction. If you do - welcome - you're in for a wild ride.

    Dirt again presents fun rally races but at the same time fails at the same point: It's kind of the same game that came to exhaustion fast and thrown away to play a new game.

    Dark Deity has it's faults, but ultimately it does what it sets to do: Be a wonderful alternative to Fire Emblem on the PC. The devs had their hearts in the right place with this one and it's a great starting point for people who want to tip their toes in the genre.

    Sonic X Shadow Generations experience can be summarized as follows: If you've never played Sonic Generations, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to try it out, as it was and remains great even after the remastered version. As for Shadow Generations, while it's a definitely cute game that manages to renew and restore Shadow to its greatness, if you don't need the content provided with Sonic Generations, you won't necessarily find the investment in this game to be good and satisfying - and I'm sure Sega understood this when it decided to include it in another great and beloved game of the brand.

    With my last game review of 2023, I'm getting to review a solid 2D action game, with great foundations that is hindered by its rogue-lite mechanics (but not by much). Great work by Angry Mob Games.

    Infinity Nikki is a very beautiful game, even though it features a fairly predatory monetization scheme, it is too early to tell if it will become popular like other gacha games, and it fails to realize what crowd it wishes to sell itself to, action adventure games or dress up games?

    I will very freely tell you how much this port is not as fantastic as this game is, the decision to release this port as soon as possible could potentially hurt what is otherwise a fantastic JRPG game and unless the Switch 2 is your only console of choice, I'd play this game elsewhere or wait for future updates.

    I came with high expectations, and I left disappointed: Grime II is not a bad game or, God forbid, bad, but it does have quite a few problems that, for me at least, were quite difficult to digest. There are some good decisions here, including a combat system that feels more fluid even when it's actually quite slow, a storyline that might enchant you, and exploration areas that are designed correctly as long as it doesn't involve Fast Travel. So is this a game I can recommend? Basically, yes, if you like the style and the fact that this is an Israeli game, I totally see a reason to invest your time and money in it, just know in advance that there are quite a few problems here, and that it's not exactly the standard of quality you expect.

    Judgment is too afraid to let go of its defining "Yakuza" features, pushing detective gameplay to the side to let the combat mechanics shine. Its story is gripping and very enjoyable, running alongside the extra side content which is full of heart and entertainment. Give Judgment a shot, whether you're a die-hard Yakuza fan, or a newbie to the franchise.

    This is the best way to play the original Gears of War, hands down, yet simple upgrades to the AI and sound design could have gone a long way to make this a great remaster.

    Hob
    Hob is a good game, even if a bit flawed. The platforming is not as good as the combat and the puzzles, and you can sometimes get lost in the world. But even with those problems the beautiful world and good soundtrack does make up for it’s shortcomings. Hob is a good game that PS4 owners with some time on their hand and an itch for a Zelda-like adventure should pick up.

    I never thought I would actually recommend a first person shooter that runs in 720p and below that and in 30FPS, but here I am actually liking the game. Doom is still Doom with the fast paced action we all know and love and the great music and OST. It's true that there are some framerate and audio issues with the game but still, kudos to Panic Button for creating this amazing port.

    The game looks miles better than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts, but a fresh coat of paint and better animations can't fix the biggest issue NBA 2K21 and every other 2K game in the past 4 or 5 years have: Microtransactions.

    A perfectly good Mosu game with some of your favorite Zelda characters that provides great action with a nice expansion to the world of TOTK.

    While Mind Control Delete is a good expansion with a few clever ideas, it does fall short in some ways, mainly it's rougelike parts.

    While it has it's shortcomings, Rise of the Third Power is still a wonderful JRPG with great gameplay and music that Switch fans, JRPG fans and quite frankly - History fans, will definitely enjoy.

    Well, this isn't the prettiest version of this underrated gem, but the port itself is well-made and plays nice (mostly). This is a well made port and worthy of this great game.

    Is it a good Sonic collection? Yes, very much - and the addition of the Game Gear games is just the icing on the cake. But still, the tactics that Sega employed with this game collection, plus the fact that it is still missing some fixes bugs me a lot.

    Far Cry 5 is a mixed bag. On the one hand, you get a dark story about an extremist group taking over a town. On the other hand, you get a bear named Cheeseburger who smiles while mauling his enemies. The music is fantastic, the AI is terrible, and the co-op is a lot of fun, as long as you don't expect it to be the next Borderlands. There's a lot of fun to be had in Far Cry 5, but if Ubisoft only took the time to fix those minor problems, it could have been perfect.

    Pokemon Legends Z-A is one of the most disappointing Pokemon games i have ever played. Besides the wide variety of creatures to catch, some QoL changes and the Mega Evolutions - there's not much else to find enjoyable in this experience.

    Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood is ultimately a very cute game, even if there are some annoying dialogues along the way and unexciting rewards for exploration. It's not exactly a new standard compared to its predecessors in the series, but it still manages to provide an excellent and fun combat system that makes it a not-so-bad experience.
