Like the brand or not, it's hard to argue with the fact that DRAGON BALL: Sparking! Zero is nothing less than a love letter to anyone who likes or thinks they are a Dragon Ball fan, even if in some parts the execution may feel a little cheap and even frustrating.

Even with all the odds going against it, Dead Island 2 stays focused on its main missions, and succeeds in accomplishing them. The game finds balance between the first game's more serious take and the reveal trailer's lighter approach while making the gameplay and world design much better - although they are still far from perfect.

Little Kitty, Big City is a simple game with an even simpler goal: to make you smile, and all we have to say is that it just succeeds in doing that. It does not pretend to reinvent the game genre it is based on or to present complex layers that combine innovative gameplay and plot. With tons of personal charm, excellent world design, and truly exceptionally witty writing, this little cat honestly earns its place on the games shelf.

While it might be considered as a small and insignificant game for some, those of you who'll choose to invest your time in Discounty will find a satisfying and cozy managment sim that might not provide a big challenge or captivating story, but will surely keep you addicted to its gameplay.

Is SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide going to be someone's GOTY? No. Could it be the most fun game someone played this year? There's a high chance. Titans of the Tide knows its job precisely and, with crazy professionalism, builds a 7-hour adventure that feels like one long episode of the series.

EA FC 26 is a complete football simulator game that contains every option for every player according to their preference, whether you want to play as a manager, seasons into the night or career mode, everyone will find something to find and get the most out of a complete football game with a beautiful and complete package. So put on your shoes and turn on the PlayStation, it's waiting for you.

Yes, yes - New Pokémon Snap is probably the best Pokémon game a fan of the franchise could play on the Nintendo Switch. But to be honest, I think that this game is better suited for all those who think that Pokémon is only a kids monster collecting and battling game. It does such a good job at making you feel how big and wonderful is the Pokémon world, and for that it deserves praise.

Chaotic, crazy, and unbridled is the main description I can tell to those who ask what I briefly think of Mario Kart World - it is a great and very fun racing game that includes a huge amount of tracks, characters, vehicles, and crazy driving abilities that come together into one world full of pure pleasure, all while offering impressive graphics, a quality soundtrack, and buttery smooth performance.

Another year, another good WWE 2K game. After 2K20, we really shouldn't take that for granted, and it looks like the devs don't too - the gameplay is fun, the new additions are great and the MyRise and MyGM modes are better than ever. The WrestleMania showcase mode is the best we've had in a while, but next time - drop the objectives.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds is the 2nd kart racing game to come out this year, it's probably not a direct competitor for Mario Kart Worlds but it has some qualities that Worlds definitely miss.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is probably the clearest torch passing there was in the series, if I thought the last game did it already, now it is very clear that Ichiban will carry the torch forward for the golden boy of this series Kiryu.

This game actually upsets me in some level, because it's everything we wanted Mighty No. 9 to be, but we didn't get. However, I believe it was worth the wait, as this game is the Megaman game we wanted so bad, with retro visuals, slick 60 FPS performance, and fun gameplay and level design. The game does have a slow start, and some levels do feel tedious at times, but the overall experience is great.

Lego Horizon Adventures is pure fun, heartwarming and light, but still gives room to some challenge for those who seek it. The voice acting is absolutely amazing and feels different from the origin, even with the original voice actors. The story is spiced with tons of humour, which made me actually LOL a few times. But its still a bit repetitive, and suits better for short-sessions after a long day. The Co-Op mode was a bit of a bummer since whoever pays Aloy will always be the "leader" and make other players teleport to their place instead of having an immersive gameplay for both players, even while being mid-fight.

If we put aside for a moment the fact that this is a rather short experience, what we have here is a stunning indie game that does what it wants to do very well which makes the overall experience you will get from it a successful one, and personally I think it is one of the sweetest surprises of 2024.

Being hip is cool again. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk trades its graphical fidelity and pixel counts for excellent gameplay loop and incredible music - all wrapped up in a neat and true Jet Set Radio spiritual successor.

Star-Crossed World is a fun and shiny new upgrade for the already beloved Kirby and the Forgotten Land, it might be a little short, but the graphical upgrade is definitely a must for newcomers to this game.

Not all its levels were created equal, but more often than not, Fall Guys delivers a fun, unique and quite often hilarious gaming experience, perfect with friends or by yourself.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is a first person horror game, nothing too revolutionary in this day and age, but this game has a ton of personality, something that is very hard to say about other horror games today. I would love more attention to the soundtrack, but it's amazing visuals and fun gameplay are amazing enough.

Chaotic, fast, and furious are three words that perfectly describe Kirby Air Riders. What we have here is a racing game that’s anything but standard—one that breaks many of the conventions we’ve come to know and love about this long-standing genre. Fortunately, for the vast majority of the time, this game’s differences compared to its competitors in the genre manage to spark genuine interest and plenty of enjoyment. Make no mistake—this is still quite a niche title that definitely won’t appeal to everyone, but for those who choose to dive into its madness and chaos, a uniquely engaging and deeply satisfying experience awaits.

This is a great starting point to the trio of DLCs Far Cry 6 is about to get. While Far Cry 6 focused on improving on an old format, Far Cry 3 managed to give us something refreshing.

Tales of Xillia is something of a classic, a game that for a long time wasn’t available on modern systems. To truly play it, you either needed access to a fairly old console or had to rely on less official methods. A remaster is an excellent solution for players who don’t want to purchase outdated hardware just to enjoy a single game. This remaster is done quite well, and even though some aspects of the game haven’t aged particularly gracefully, it’s still well worth the time for many players today.

Apart from some small issues with the difficulty, Cult of the Lamb is a fantastic game and really is one of the more pleasant surprises of 2022.

Don't let the weird presentation through you off on this one: King of Fighters XIV is the same great game that we all know and love. While the characters do look a lot less lifelike and their animation, particularly in cutscenes, can seem jaggy and stiff, the animation during battles and the awesome, fun and engaging gameplay more than makes up for it. It may not be one of the best entries, but it is worthy of its name.

No doubt about it, Far Cry: New Dawn can give you tons of fun for hours, but if you've played a Far Cry game before, you know what you're getting into, for better or for worse.

Great additions to Career mode and Volta, with the overhauled animations introduced by the new HyperMotion technology make it the best FIFA game in years. FUT is still marred by microtransactions making the game somewhat unfair, but the rest of the game has improved for the better.

Ghost of Yotei is a worthy sequel to its predecessor, and while it doesn't necessarily excel in an interesting plot, it's still a polished, fun, and exceptionally beautiful action-adventure game, reminding us once again that Sony (and Sucker Punch, of course) are here to stay. The methods for particularly impressive and satisfying exclusive titles.

The excessive grinding and generic story might put some people off, but if you can push past the initial bumps, you'll find a great JRPG waiting for you.

While it is not loaded with the fine depth of Red Dead Redemption 2 or the amazing variety of missions of The Witcher 3, Team Ninja's first open-world take is still an excellent experience, mainly because of its spectacular combat system.
