007: First Light [Review] 007: First Light successfully blends narrative and action, with memorable characters, believable environments and great action. Some issues rarely breaks its brilliance, but overall, it is great.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight [Review] LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight felt both like an homage and its own thing, with great characters, story, pacing, and an immense attention to detail. The combat can be boring and button mashy, but the game still ends up being a great time to play with a friend.
Nine Sols [Review] Nine Sols was a great action game with engaging platforming that doesn't cut back on its story, characters and world. Even considering its eventual balancing issues and excessive reading, it remains memorable and rewarding to beat.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream [Review] Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is certified fun for people that enjoy life simulators, and hilarious for those who discovered the genre with it. There's not much to unlock, and it can be taxing to create dozens of Miis to make the island lived in – but it is worth it, hilarious and unexpected.
SAROS [Review] SAROS is one of the best action games I've ever played, with amazing bosses, great enemy variety and breathtaking movement. Still, it overcorrected some choices from Returnal; it can be a bit easy and doesn't really tell a good story.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center [Review] Undeniably, this is a game with lots of reading and not that much gameplay, it is a visual novel after all. Knowing that, it was a very fun and memorable game, even with its repetitions and lack of variety.
Pragmata [Review] Pragmata is fun and entertaining, even if too forgettable, due to a story that sometimes gets in its way. Playing it, though, it is a great time, and one of the best action games of this generation, generic designs and all.
Crimson Desert [Review] Crimson Desert is smoke and mirrors: the game. Nothing is really that interactive or that well realized. Addictive to play, but the worst version of all its inspirations.
Black Myth: Wukong [Review] There's only so much dopamine that a win can give me. The constant stutters, input lag, bad progression and repetitive gameplay dragged this one down. Not a terrible action game but a mediocre one.
Cronos: The New Dawn [Review] An interesting story and an inventive battle system make this otherwise formulaic survival horror a great game and a good time.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties [Review] By the end, I liked Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, but it is a painfully average entry in the series with questionable choices made by the developers.
Pokémon Pokopia [Review] Pokopia is a treat and the full package — practically flawless in execution, full of things to do and moments of awe. Sometimes a bit repetitive and overwhelming, but a great time regardless.
Resident Evil Requiem [Review] Resident Evil Requiem wasn't a simple return to horror, or just another action game. It is Survival Horror at its finest, and proof that making something new is worth it.
Mafia: The Old Country [Review] Mafia: The Old Country for sure is polished and pretty, but it is also vapid and unremarkable. A generic mob narrative with a forgettable gameplay.
