GOOD: * You play Carl Faubert in an investigative story that gets out of control, with plot twists and a sinister setting.* They apply the classic "this is not all it seems" since there is something else lurking between the snow and the forest* It has a setting that will remind you of that game Silent Mountain* Smart way of asking you to pay attention to the character's stats (Health, Heat and Stress) by putting you in a snowstorm and when you get the thickest coat at night to lower the temperature even more* The game leaves clues about something... since the game has a plot twist of those crazy twists that are so popular in this section that it is worth playing it and discovering it.* The achievements are accessible although they have been patched so that it costs a little more to obtain them and it is not a walk in the park like before (for example, the achievement of passing it without using vehicles with the character walking in the middle of the snowstorm can no longer be done so easily, you have to go looking for heat sources to survive and not freeze to death, this time the bonfires are mandatory to light if you want to survive). BAD: * A little replayable experience, once you have found all the secrets and all the achievements there is no reason to replay it.* I think it is a terrible example that to lower stress (increase the brain stat) you have to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. MEH!: * It is an indie game with pretensions and recollections of classic survival games that as you advance in the plot, you start to question things both about the character's health and what is really happening in the town. * Kona 2: The Brume is out and promises much more since the ending was about escaping and leaving everything behind* The name of the game means "Snow" in the language of the Cree natives of Canada, the same natives who leave their totems around the village (not because of what it means in Galician or Portuguese)

GOOD:* A calm and peaceful game of taking pictures of animals, situations and things, it tells us a calm story (there is no action here, well almost)* The Basto DLC expansion (resort island) is included in the Xbox version at no additional cost with its achievements plus challenges and at least two more hours of content* The Toem phenomenon is very well implemented in a monochromatic world* Accessible achievements, none missable. BAD: * Very short* Cryptic challenges* It came out on July 15, 2024 from Xbox Game Pass. MEH!: * Now that it's out of Xbox Games Pass, maybe no one will look at it anymore

GOOD: :* The good-for-nothing astronaut returns, but on the moon and in an exploration story that takes place at the same time as the previous adventure* The archaeology challenges are back, only this time they are not so obvious and it brings not only rocks, but fossils and some random item lost somewhere* The game becomes a ridiculous journey... you don't know if what it shows you really happened or if it's all a dream (you won't know until you play it)* The Jetpack is broken (very obvious improvement for the final platforming sequence)* Easy and accessible achievements* Entertaining puzzles (here the photos are very important)* The models, faces and textures improved (although they still look ugly). BAD: * There are no enemies (there is a being that can hurt you to death but it's only because you don't do anything)* The feeling of danger and death is not felt in this game* The green fire comes out but this time instead of being just a Power source, it's more of a magical/mystical theme* Sequences and various "Yes, but No" moments that take away from the experience* The engineer-architect is shoehorned in and creates more doubts than certainties. MEH!: * It took so long to release this sequel and to top it off they don't delve into what happened in the previous game or the events, it just feels more like a separate product and some loose references* No, it's not on Xbox Game Pass

THE GOOD:The game was released (It shouldn't have been released). THE BAD:Game hyped up by the press that never took off. Horrible and hard to see characters. You can see their tendency to embrace the "specific" public that manifests itself on social networks and forums but doesn't buy video games and even less plays video games. The progression is so poorly done that the suicides of the opposing team are enough to "win without playing" in less than a minute. Mechanics recycled from other hero shooters (which curiously are also closed) such as Pragon, Lawbreakers, Holfrain, Battleborn... MEH!:The game will close its servers on 09/06/2024, Sony Playstation's patience ran out before the bleeding was bigger and they didn't even give it the opportunity of Free To Play... RIP Concord

GOOD: A new Spider-man game. Some shots of Manhattan covered in sand. BAD: Very continuous, too continuous. It is full of bugs (it is bugged until the title and Miles' body disappears), so much so that it has a 32Gb day 2 patch. The modeling of characters makes them look like wax figures. Mary Jane is supposed to be a model and actress and she makes a living at it, therefore she must be more than pretty for her work, here she is presented disheveled, out of shape, with a double chin, a drastic change is noted in the modeling regarding the first game vs the second at ridiculous levels (it seems like someone else, a recast). The NPC AI is bad, they were doing something and seconds later they reset and do something else. The NPCs are doing something, Spidy scares them with the web+trashcan combo and resets them and they forget what they were doing. The AI of the enemies is quite bad and very improvable, press circle, circle, circle, circle, circle.... and they never hit you, they never hit you, you practically break the game, their AI also resets. Inclusive language, pronouns and wokism greatly damage the image of a character that comes from comics since August 1962, Spider-man is not the property of Sony or the LGBT movements. MEH!: "The best superhero game" is a joke. This game exposes the falsehood of the press in terms of ratings because it wasn't another game from another company, not Sony, because there they skinned it alive.

The good: The seriousness and solemnity of the motor world returns but with a lot of Forza Motorsport 3/4 flavor. Here every sponsorship, every improvement, every new car, every new event, every new circuit, you have to earn it on the track (and not on the roulette wheel, in an envelope or opened from minute 1). 20 Circuits may seem like few tracks, but each one has at least 3 layouts (not counting the reverse layouts and more that will arrive over time, Forza Motorsport veterans know that the Nürburgring, among other tracks, usually arrive in free Ad Ons), giving a flavor of old Forzas, here the sedans, the Hachbacks, the classics, the single-seaters and the muscle cars feel different even when racing on the same layout. Here the IR (Performance Index) of cars is very important since you will never see austere sedans vs modern Ferraris or Maseratis Supercars. Many events for each type of car, for each car segment and for each brand and manufacturer. There is race planning for pit stops, tank filling percentage, tires (with various compounds), fuel. Time penalties for crashes and for leaving the track that have not been seen since Forza Motorsport 3/4 and FM7 competitions and classifications are back, requiring you to play fair and forcing you to improve your driving. Dynamic climate. Exhibition Events. Differences in realistic environmental sounds, engines and tires. There is no end to the Lamborghinis for sale here, there are always, as long as you have in-game money to buy them. The penalty system does work, making the online multiplayer experience from normal to satisfactory since if your idea is to enter and mess with every subject you see, the system is going to kick you out. Car points are great to prevent you from going straight to buying all the upgrades with game money in minute 1-2. It's on Xbox Game Pass, so download it and at least try it without fear The bad: If you know "the Forza saga" from its noisy cousin called Horizon or the Forzas Motorsport 6/7 you may see it as a throwback. Time penalties for crashes and going off the track are back, which will keep drivers looking for arcade fun from Horizon, hanging out and fooling around on the track or messing around with the cars in front. If you go in with the idea that "all Forza games are the same because they are car games" you may get a blow not because it is a fighting game, but because it forces you to play fair and respect the rules or you will end up quitting. parked (pun intended). The visual grading system for overtaking and cornering is missing. There are no "silver bullets" here (a hallmark of Forza since FM1) that red sports car that you plan to use for all the events and on all the tracks here does not apply in all classifications... if you arrive with that mentality you will leave to disappoint a lot. The fact that the game forces you to spend a lot of time with austere models and the same car may bore you thinking that you would manage to drive the cars on the cover in minute 1. Requires internet connection to save your progress. Meh!: This new Forza Motorsport is the one that most paints the dividing line with respect to its noisy cousin Horizon (unlike FM 6/7 that tried to get closer to the festive, roulette, envelopes, free progression and accessible of Horizon). If the other (GT) is "a love letter to motorsports", this Forza Motorsport is "Don Quixote Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of Motorsports". Don't approach it with fear, approach it with respect

The good: The excellent optimization in Series X. If you can swim in water. Great exploration missions (some inspired by Hollywood movies or old Saturday morning cartoons). When you finish the game you must restart it from scratch to see how the universe changed, generating a new game once you have finished it and doing it up to 10 times. Lots of content to explore and search, talks to read/listen to and Sandwiches to stack. It's on Xbox Game Pass, enter it without fear The bad: There are not so many graphic options, hopefully they will arrive in a patch. Some faces look strange. Not all missions are brilliant. It is enormous, monstrous, unfathomable. Some mysteries will continue to be hidden mysteries on some lost planet by the hand of God, or system in the game since not many will delve into it to explore it 100% Meh!: The game is so big and contains so many mysteries that it makes it unplayable, but the game works and is playable, enjoyable and eager to continue investigating and seeing how the artifacts modify reality The year of extension suited it very well, in optimization and correction of errors. Mods on console will give life to unexplored and dead areas in the game, the point is having the time to explore as much

The good: Hilarious Shoot'em Up (Shump) with rouge-like mechanics (each attempt is random with different prizes, enemies, power ups and bosses). This game is almost always on discount and in various bundles to buy with other games. Less than 500Kb of space and a lot of fun. Very replayable. Cosmic horror with cartoon overtones and the matter is not taken seriouslyThe achievements* cumulative and relatively easy to play* You can get the 3000G in easy mode* 15-20 minutes and what follows The bad: The randomness of the game can complicate random mad events (Mad Encounters). If you don't like little ship games or the bullet hell genre, it's not for you. It is not on Xbox Game Pass. Minimalist graphics. Frame rates and scratches. If you have photosensitivity it is not for you Meh!: I hadn't seen that I had this game in the library and I had to farm, although I do like small ship and bullet hell games so they were the most fun 3000G to get and the jokes they make with the ads, items or the situations you get they will bring out more than one smile

The good: Great character and environment design. Elaborate jokes. There are scenarios with incredible complexity and visual richness, alongside others made in haste and with pixelated Lego-type characters. The bosses look good and are imposing. Accessible achievements, 1000G to play. It's on Xbox Game Pass so enter it without fear The bad: Very short. Easy difficulty. The script leaks everywhere (they talk about a legend, they lean lightly on the story of Alice in Wonderland, there are dragons and omnipresent gods who do nothing and are just procedures, you are the servant of every talking animal you know find on the way to look for or deliver something, the first two times it is funny and even entertaining, but after 20-25 minutes you are filled with things to do that are mandatory to advance). That strange mix of styles is disconcerting and makes it look very strange. The bosses only look good, with the right level they become a joke. The placement of the camera is very erratic (The first few times the enemies will scare you because of their strategic placement on those strange edges that you cannot see). Meh!: I didn't expect anything from the game and it ended up surprising me (for better and worse). This game has good ideas that with an injection of budget would have delivered a more than outstanding game. If you don't like the convenience of scripting or being the messenger/servant of every talking animal you come across, avoid it.

Good: Closer to FF1-4 than to the more modern FFs (7-15) without technological and cyberpunk things. Cinematics with the game engine. Bad: You only control one character, you don't have a party or supports. The difficulty selector on the lowest makes the game less than an interactive movie, a low-budget follow-up to Kingslave with QTE. It is focused on the badly implemented Hack'n Slash and a "I want and I can't" with the theme of the parry in the fights. Epic battles are full of immersion-breaking QTEs and you watch the movie and just respond (or not) to button presses. Even in performance mode, the scratches and frame drops are felt, especially in QTE. Exaggeration in exploiting delivery missions. The story is boring, what is a like-Game of throne? Not kidding, obviously not, the argument is poor and rather seems like a bad attempt at ring of power together with willow cliches. The graphics are very bad and very painful (bought with current games or games also from Square-Enix such as FF7 Remake, FFXVI looks bad, is more painful and looks worse when compared to other games from other brands (Elden **** villain is painful (yes, in FF we have already had villains of this type such as The Emperor, Zemus or Ultimesia...) Meh!: If you complained about FFXIII being a endless corridor it was, how curious that here I don't see complaints or offended and if they complained that Lightning from FFXIII had the personality of a stone, Cleid arrives to lower the standard even more and pity others. Just as FFXIII-3: Lightning Return was another tweaked and renamed game, so it seems that this FFXVI was originally an expansion or DLC from Forespoken or Babylon's Fall or from the canceled story DLC expansions from FF15 full reuse

The good: It is an adventure game with a flavor of the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s. It has large interconnected areas to explore (there is not much to do, but they are large extensions that are connected by channels, tunnels, holes, higher levels, scaffolding. The story It's immersive, a lot to read, a lot to investigate. Interesting (at least intriguing) side quests. It has a map that you can always use (and when you've progressed through the first 3 quests and they give you 4 more) The bad: The game is bipolar (there are areas with a visual, technical, narrative and structurally complex complexity and next to it the most flat, generic and carelessly made models). The game is badly optimized in loading textures in certain areas. The enemies move at 10 FPS which gives a strange and even scary feeling (in the highest difficulties since they see you and jump to attack, they take a lot with each hit and their attack priority is well above yours and there is no way to stop them). Although the stories and secondary missions are interesting, there is no mark or outline of how to complete them or who to go see, except for the clues that Hild comments on and the vagueness of her notes that she is taking in her notebook. The artistic style is not consistent, there are characters with a cartoon aesthetic, there are characters with a semi-realistic aesthetic, the protagonist has a generic anime aesthetic. difficult achievements. Only by completing the first 3 missions do you access game improvements such as the map, indicating that you are missing and teleportation, many will not see this because they will have tired of the game much sooner. the performance on Xbox One is very poorly optimized and the load of textures and transitions between tunnels and zones are noticeable The meh!: This game seems to be an unauthorized expansion of Innmortal Fenix Rising or Horizon Zero Down where they already had the material ready and they did not approve the last minute demo and instead of throwing everything away they decided to release it as a separate game

Good: Visually beautiful game, with well-established mechanics and an unclear objective. You have a lot to discover, the player makes an idea of the story based on what the game shows, the locations, the cave paintings and screens and the hidden temples. He has many feelings. Mui the kitty has a lot of personality (and power). He has some background plans worthy of making a poster or wallpaper. He is on Xbox Game Pass, so enter him without fear. 1Gb and a little more space for your fun Bad: Very short game. Once you finish it and find the 10 temples, all that remains is to complete the game without dying even once, one of the most difficult achievements to get since the AI is very erratic and hits some highs at times just to see if you are putting attention. He has many traps on the way, scary enemies and efficient killers. The plot traps make the game full of "yes but no" moments, where they take one thing for granted to make you think about it and then it doesn't happen. In a walking game you face an army of robots and an AI with the power of the Sun, of course! (as out of place as the lighthouse in Candleman). Two very difficult achievements to get 100% The Meh!: It reminded me a lot of Planet Alpha, especially the story and the spherical invaders and their walkers, there is even a very similar plane between them or the final spherical base. That idea and indescribable terror that AIs and spherical robots are going to dominate... It has two Death Stranding-like moments where you just walk and a honeyed song ("Horizont") starts playing. The ending is crap, a textbook Deus Ex Machina. If you play it with a guide, you take away the whole joke

The good: It is a point and click book type game of choose your adventure (based on decisions of how you approach an action). The artistic design is very beautiful, characters and backgrounds drawn by hand, making the animals very beautiful. It seems like a game for children, but as you begin to delve into the options, you see that there is much more than meets the eye. The game is full of plot twists, each one more amazing (or ridiculous) than the last. It has a fishing minigame, at least this one is easy. It's on Xbox Game Pass / PC Game Pass enter it without fear. 1000G accessible. The bad: Very short, once you have seen all the endings, you have finished all the dialogue options, there is nothing else. They use the cliché something very strange happens here and it's tiring (in small and indie games). It is only in English. The Meh!: The cliché of the town where they are doing something very strange and only the children get to the bottom of the situation is so old and we have seen it in Saturday morning cartoons like Punky Bruster or Scooby Doo (more recently Gravity Falls or Stranger Things ). If yours is "a lot of text", do not approach it. Many of the references and word games are only supported in English, translated they would lose meaning. The furry or semi-furry theme in the forums about the sexuality of certain characters is very ridiculous and worrying

Good: A very nice metroidvania in terms of scenarios, drawn by hand. The character design and the artistic section are very good (somewhat saturated with details and colors but that's okay). suitable music. A lot of customization in terms of abilities (although for Renee's good you are going to activate them all yes or yes, if you want to survive). The platforming is very well implemented in physics and precision of jumping in certain places and the use of abilities to reach certain items. It is appreciated that the zones have names and recommend the level of the enemies. The game is very long and has 10 different endings and game plus +. An update adds the indication of objects by zone that helps you know if you are missing something that is regardless of whether you have already explored the map 100% Bad: Another Metroidvania that does not propose anything new beyond the difficulty. Forget what you know about Metroidvania, here it is too but it will cost you to activate or obtain it. Hard achievements and what's next, while enjoying the ride. The story line is poor (the trip is pleasant and beautiful to see the locations but the justification is painful). The ridiculous location of the save points. The initial bosses and around the world are the least inspired and damage sponges. The Backtraquing is here but you have to earn it. The platforming in certain areas is brutal. The quest system moves you to the site protagonists so you have to search for them (they usually return to the cities) The Meh!: Another Metroidvania More in this section, never seen before. That soul mania of putting the crosshead with the items for quick access, if you don't get used to playing it with the joystick you will end up foolishly consuming your items that you put there. The protagonist Renee reminded me a lot of Kiana Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd or a character from RWBY

The Good: Direct sequel to Breath of the Wild. Much to explore. Different layers (Air/sky, Earth and underworld). Crazy crafting abilities (mechas, tanks, speeders, cars, floating platforms, creatures... . Lots of temples The bad: It looks like a Zelda game stuck to two other games (one very similar to Skyward Sword and the other very similar to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts). Very continuous at the graphics level, at the air level it makes it look horrible (compared to other Zeldas in the air like Skyward Sword). The music only has a couple of new songs. The legendary beasts return. There are many temples but you can't randomly face them or skip it like in the previous game. The world is open to explore but by force you must follow the story and if they give you freedom already passing a certain combination of temples and missions. Crazy crafting breaks progress, difficulty and makes enemies just spectators The meh!: we had already seen the crazy crafting of vehicles in Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts from 2008-2009 and I didn't see such a stir, what's more, everyone was against this mechanic. We have seen the sky theme in Skyward Sword as an area to explore, it is here but poorly implemented, it is not the core of the game and visiting it is even boring. If the game is called The Legend of Zelda but it's more of a "I want to be Mario Bross" or "I want to be Nuts and Bolt" or "I want to be Henshin Impact" insert things and mechanics just to insert even if they don't make sense and break the lore

The good: The TLoU Remaster comes to PC The bad: It is full of errors, bugs and crashes. There are texture loading glitches, there are polygon collision glitches. There are pop up/popping problems. They already have 5 patches and they fix some bugs and accidentally (or on purpose) create other bugs. In medium PC configurations it is not recommended (although the requirements and compatibility table seems to be wrong). It is noticeable that they wanted to squeeze the success of the TV series with a very hasty port The Meh!: If they didn't want to release this game on PC they shouldn't have forced or tried to push the matter forward. It is seen that in this port they put their hands a lot because releasing patches to fix something and damaging other parts is not normal. There is a self-sabotage or a hint of doubt of wanting to do it wrong on purpose to make PCs feel bad. This game costs real money and is in very bad shape, you should take it out of the store

The good: The graphics are very nice, the character models have a lot of detail. The soundtrack is adequate (although there are times when the rock chords contrast and clash with the calm background). The 3D backgrounds have several action plans and places to continue the fights if you break certain walls, which makes the game very dynamic and the combat very spectacular (only the first times). Matchmacking constantly evaluates you so that your fun continues and you don't get frustrated by the fights (it is highly recommended that you go through all the tutorials before going to matchmaking). It has a glossary, character sheets and character relationship graphs telling everything that happened in previous versions (both those that did and did not reach Xbox). It came directly to Xbox Game Pass so enter it without fear, but with some caution because it's not just hitting buttons like crazy The bad: The game asks you to play it as it should be, otherwise it will expose your shortcomings (at the end of each match) and not only that, the AI is programmed to surpass you if you don't care or if you think it's a paperwork fight (from the first combats is already countering you, locking, executing crazy combos, bluffing changing the course of the fights as if nothing). The learning curve is very steep so if you go straight to pounding buttons you're going to get frustrated because the CPU is going to sweep the floor with you. The characters are unbalanced, especially the heavier ones that also have ranged and anti-aircraft attacks that cover almost the entire screen. The game just came out on Xbox and it already has two Character Season Passes (8 characters and those that are missing from the 2nd Season Pass) plus 4 new locations, which do not come in the base version **** that originally came out on other consoles in 2021. The backgrounds are very beautiful and everything, but there are objects and parts of the decoration that are poorly recreated and contrast quite a bit with the NPCs that are in the background or things that are well detailed The Meh!: What if "now they bring us Japanese games and not before"... that's a lie or that I've been playing the last 17 years, including a certain GG XX Act on original Xbox or GG XX Act Core Plus from Xbox Live Arcade, among others. The fact of having to wait two years to see this game on Xbox questions that bad practice of other companies to block games from their competitors. The advanced functions of the game require being online or constantly checking servers, without a network you only have arcade mode and decorate scenes with figures that you have obtained as a diorama.

The good: an old fighting game with an old flavor (locked extras, locked players unlocked by playing). It is a very technical game, here it is not worth hitting buttons like crazy (it can help you win a round or a fight between friends but the AI will put you to the test and even overcome it). The anime design is maintained. Includes the animated intro from the arcade and PS2 version, but as an extra. The gallery of designs per character is very good (you have to unlock each one) The bad: The characters were not redrawn they use the elongated/stretched sprites so that blur is noticeable in portrait images and in zooms during fights. Its soundtrack is not complete, only rhythmic themes were left, the vocal themes are not there The Meh!: the least you will see are fish. It is a game that implies commitment to get into playing it, understand it and try to master its mechanics... or it can drive you away after seeing how the AI ​​turns the fights over and over again

The good: "The game that was only possible on Playstation 5 because of the magic SSD" comes to Xbox Series X (proving that the PS5 magic SSD was just lies and misleading advertising). It is the improved version with patches and bug fixes and improvements. The bad: Repetitive game and lacking in personality, beyond the Blink-Blink of the armor. The saturation of the glow effect will cause you to quit the game. It seemed like a Soul Like or a Hack and Slash but neither genre does it well. Bad copy that takes the worst elements of God of War (2018), Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom and Too Human. Characters without personality, enemies without more personality if necessary. The story is a cliché of the gods and the war of good goes evil and… zzzz (boring), it's not something we haven't seen before. the game was already bad since PS5. The Meh!: The magical SSD of the PS5 is a lie, this game is on Xbox Series, please gentlemen of the press, do not invent ridiculous things. The fact that it comes out on Xbox Series X indicates that it is not exclusive to Playstation 5 (shame about the brutal deceptive advertising campaign). Now that all the hype has been dissipated, this game is not good, not even to get the achievements out of it, not even for the new generation, so they can save their money to buy another game.

The good: An interesting mix of Sunset Overdrive, Jet Set Radio, rhythm game and Generator Rex (a cartoon that also had its game on Xbox 360). Characters with excessive charisma. It is very reminiscent of the Sunset Overdrive expansion where you face mechs and robots. It is irreverent, unexpected, entertaining. Colorful graphics. It has a Crackdown mechanic where you have to defeat the landlords to go to the end and they drop more and more fierce and powerful enemies, before seeing the final boss (also very similar to Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis mode). Various game modes included in the main game, rhythm game, imitate patterns, 2D platformer, time attack. It's on Xbox Game Pass so get into it without fear. The bad: Small frame drops (they don't worsen the gaming experience and maybe they'll be fixed with a patch). It's a festival of Cartoon and anime clichés (breaking the fourth wall, script armor, moments of grief, you can't take it seriously even though the characters take it solemnly). Very short (I'm hoping for some expansion to continue expanding the experience. If you don't like Japanese, it's not a game for you. Lo Meh!: Sega has always been asked for a sequel to Jet Ser Radio Future (Original Xbox) or Sunset Overdrive 2 (before Sony bought Insomniac) and it's good that it came from Tango Games and Shinji Mikami. By the way, many forget that Shinji Mikami and his team had already surprised us with Beautiful Joe before, so I don't understand the complaints.

The good: KoF is back on Xbox. The netcode is far superior. The character modeling looks good. The bad: It feels like another one of those Fantasy games in the series where they include fighters just because Ashe's saga ended in the previous game (KoF XIV) and we couldn't play it on Xbox. The modeling of the characters, although it complies, feels anachronistic. There are few people playing already and they need to open up cross-play to bring the game to life. Some extra characters are paid. Didn't they fit on the disc? The game lost its essence of challenges and feels more like a "I want to be a Street Fighter" and it doesn't fit. It is only for Series X not for One or One X Lo Meh!: After crashing in sales for making the previous KoF XIV exclusive to another console, their return to Xbox after such a rudeness feels like that regretful dog who returns after wanting to escape from his owner and seeing that he can't fend for himself in the world. It is not on Xbox Game Pass and if the game came it would come back to life, both in concept, online play, and in the franchise.

The good: A new Square-Enix game (not Final Fantasy Exploitation or any previous franchise). There is a demo that you can download first to see how the game is and save your money (if it's not for how bad the game is, they have already removed the demo) The bad: Excellent of mist, fog and smog to cover a lack. Textures are missing or fail to load for the environment. Very basic character modeling. The excrement color palette is back with a large number of greys, browns, ochre, olive green, navy blue… Painful drawing distance. In-game items crash (can be fixed with a patch). Mechanics recycled from other games like Babylons Fall, Tomb Rider Parkour and FFXV. Wide scenarios to try to give the idea of a lot of place to explore, but it is false because it is empty and there are no interesting things to do and when you want to get off the route that the game wants to show you, it returns you to the starting point of the route. This "game" costs money, it is not a demo or Early Access. The behavior of the enemies is painful and only "activates" in certain areas. Preview and introductory gameplay videos at previous years events are fake or CGIs The Meh!: When you see the Square-Enix demos known as "Angis Philosophal" or "The Witch" back in 2014-2016 the future seemed glorious and the textures and characters... but you see this game and you realize they were lying and didn't optimize nothing and they released a very poorly optimized and poorly polished game.

"There were no silver bullets" there were no foolproof winning combinations or cards that stood out above the rest for a long time since its rate of updates kept releasing new cards, new zones and new characters. He had several collaborations with Final Fantasy in which we could use monsters from the classic FF (1-6), Guardian Forces, Summons, elementals, and events from FFXII, FFXIII, FFXIV. The card hunting minigame was a first person game in which silhouettes of creatures roamed the map and with a coldown rifle we hunted down the creatures that turned into cards. There were spring events, new year, summer, Halloween, hunting silver slimes, Trivia, exploring fortresses, defeating evil clowns… The bad: The game closed its servers and with the IOs updates it is no longer playable. Only the Wallpapers App remains in IOs, which stores some of the best illustrations of the 5 Star cards. The story was very generic. Events brought more and more zones, more and more cards, more and more recoloring, on a growing map but the story didn't move forward. Little customization for your character which made him a genetic hero "just because" The Meh!: The game failed to keep up with the public and tried to get players to switch to another App to a more turn-based RPG game with 3D models of familiar but very poorly made characters and painful designs. Before its closure, I tried to take all the possible captures of interesting cards and characters, but many models were already lost in time.

The good: The pokebikes. The new forms of Paldea. The gym bosses that their clothes are so outlandish and funny. The bad: The formula is the same for all Pokémon and several previous games have already reached its maximum expression and now it is only being repeated over and over again with small, increasingly imperceptible improvements. The graphics engine is fair, but a decade ago it already felt old. The new designs are not well inspired, putting more creatures in the shape of everyday things with eyes is no longer funny, Going from 1000 to 2000 creatures to trap with variants was fun at first but we have been doing it since the last 25 years that it has already lost the grace. The game is full of frame drops and bugs.

Evolution systems for your companions to make them more powerful or minimize cold down. The map helps by indicating where there are things to explore, but it's still not 100% descriptive. Replayable enemies to try to beat them on higher difficulty. The difficulty of the game is high and it has Like a Soul elements.

The classic of not everything is what it seems is back, even though they tell you a part of the story, letting the user be the one to fill in the gaps.

Continue the story of the 2018 game (Single dad throws axes) The bad: Very short drawing distance and supported by excessive blur and fog on the sides of the characters and close-ups. Companions and allies never shut up (talk and talk and talk more and you move forward and keep talking). The recycling of textures, effects and modeling of the 2018 game is noticeable. Advance on the map to inconsequential areas and moments. Fog in the background to cover lack and slow loads of objects and textures. Very continuous with respect to the 2018 game. Uninspired enemies. It seems more like a DLC for God of War 2018. Excess of in-game cinematics of characters and faces talking and talking. They are all the time giving the rattle with the theme of Ragnarok but as there is no countdown or indication of progress, it only remains as a curious anecdote. That I don't want to play with Atreus I don't care who he is, or who he is going to be or who he pretends to be. 10 USD extra pay to update the version to new generation, really? The Meh!: That yes, indeed, Kratos is brutal (but he does not recover the quality quotas of the first 3 canonical games) but his game is not the revolution that they promised and it only remained as a simplistic continuation. When he backs up, Kratos doesn't turn or look at the camera, he just walks backwards with his back turned which gives the impression that the modeling is a faceless back to save textures. Very rushed game that can give about 10-15 hours as an interactive movie and a lot of repetition (they don't get tired of talking).

Difficulty selector that includes Easy, Normal, Realistic and Perfectionist (this last one you can't report bullets or gadgets, without the mark/execute option, your resistance is low). You have three ways to advance in the missions, these styles allow you to replay the missions and are not restrictive, being able to combine styles •Ghost: Infiltration and stealth •Panther: Stealth, stalking and light confrontations •Assault: Be the same unrecognized brother of Rambo Plot twists according to whether you hit or miss.

The advanced AI of the enemies, they surround you, they take you out of cover, the terrorist group of The Architects have countermeasures to interfere with your sensors, Voron has your same gadgets including tri-rotor drones and mobile drones that interfere with your gadgets. There are infiltration missions in which the restriction varies (not being detected, not killing anyone, etc.) which gives the game an extra challenge. The bad: The poor sales of this game sent Sam and his team to the freezer. The progression of the purchase of the improvements, all are chained so you can not go to the improvement you want without first obtaining all the previous ones. The plus improvements and "premium" content are already out of reach because they were unlocked with a Cellular App that is no longer available and on Uplay (some have already removed them). “The fans” have been asking for the return of Spies vs Mercenaries for a long time and this game has it but they didn't even peel it. The multiplayer at the time was emptied very quickly and today it is abandoned The Meh!: The cost of the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell license and its poor sales made Ubisoft not consider a reissue in the next generation.

The story, although it is broad, is not interesting and they focus on multiversal conflicts that, although interesting, denote that it is another game, it feels more like Transformers: Devastation or Legend of Korra. The mechanics of abusing the giant beasts feel like Power Rangers chapters where the only thing that eliminates the bad guy in turn is summoning the Zords The meh! The thing about Bayonetta commanding his beast is reminiscent of Katy Perry at the Super Bowl on a giant Zord-like metal lion. In previous Bayonetta games, costumes associated with weapons were used that made Bayonetta look different (samurai, Chinese doll, ice skater...) without stretching the tired cliché of the multiverses. Games like Bayonetta 1 or Transformer Devastation teach as if confrontations with giant bosses should be done, in this game those resources are not used and they move the camera away making the characters tiny

THE GOOD: An enviable artistic direction, very based on the works of H.R. Gigger (Alien, Prometheus,…) It’s a puzzle and exploration game. It's on Xbox Game Pass and has Play Anywhere start playing on Xbox and continue playing on Windows PC (and vice versa). THE BAD: No tutorials. Dark. The game doesn't bother to tell you what to do. His art direction is very Gigger so if you can't stand the tentacles, the slime, the blood, visors, guts, maggots, earthworms, snake nests, phallic symbols, stay away. Very short. Enemies are very annoying.

The good: A new game for PS5. Ellie no longer looks like Helen Page/Eliot Page/Alien Page The bad: A re-skin of The Last of Us from the PS4 remaster. The models were worsened in order to make them look older than the ones seen in their original PS3 game. The change in the model of Joel's daughter is not explained. If you want to play this game with the changes you have to pay full price (80 USD). You can't roll like in the original PS3 game or its Remastered version on PS4 (Maybe fixed with a patch). "The extra content" promised in his presentation is not in the game (perhaps it will arrive in a DLC). Follow the issue with below average enemy AI, plus follow Elly's AI Deus Ex Machina is still invisible to spores and infected in firefights, getting stuck on tables, walls and stairs or staring at a wall and staring into space in the midst of a dangerous scene. New camera angles were promised that are not there, new mechanics are not there (maybe they will come with a patch) It does not have multiplayer like the PS3 TLoU lo meh: Are they rating this game or by the studio or by the brand? With a 4K upscaling patch (as in the competition) you could use the same game or the game you already have purchased on PS3 and PS4 with the same result of this game at full price (80 USD, yes, you can find it on cheaper codes, but the list price in a warehouse is 80 USD). New gameplay was promised but it's still the same PS3 game.

The good: Simple ride simulator game. The graphics are very simple without elaborate textures but the draw distance, the environment animations and the plants captivate you. Several biomes to visit. Simple puzzles. Ideal for gamer is new who have no experience. Easy achievements and "in theory" none missable, 1000G to the bag for achievement hunters. It's on Xbox Game Pass The bad: Very short, not very replayable once you have finished them and you have the 1000G. The achievement of getting 100% by taking 100% of each biome is glitched if you try to use the quest selector to revisit a particular biome, so either take 100% of the maps in one run or start over from scratch Lo Meh!: Here there are no ludonarrative dissonances, whining (well in the end yes) and existential problems of the protagonist, control him, explore, have fun and forget about the rest. The puzzles are "accessible" and do not present a challenge. It's on Xbox Game Pass so enter it without fear

The Good: An ideal party game The bad: the servers close on 12/01/2022. The monetization system for articles, characters and seasons did not convince anyone. It's a game that destroys friendships The Meh!: Many did not know the existence of this game. It's sad how Konami vandalizes its franchises and releases questionable games with monetization mechanics and seasons that didn't hook anyone
