Just like all the previous Serious Sam games, the main idea in Serious Sam 4 is “But what if there were even more enemies?” There’s not much more to it than that. This style of run-and-gun action is definitely challenging, it’s just getting played out, and the returns on the investment of simply upping the enemy count and adding dual-wielding have diminished. The variety of bad guys thrown at you is impressive but there just aren’t enough interesting weapons to keep the battles from getting dull, and the lack of drop-in co-op is inexcusable in this day and age.

Microsoft pitched Forza Motorsport 7 as the ultimate automotive playset, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. With enough cars to fill a dozen museums and the most generous selection of tracks to date in the series, the amount of driving, experimenting, and racing here is absolutely mammoth. Accessible as always for beginners but crammed with content targeted at lifelong car junkies, Forza Motorsport 7 is Turn 10’s finest love letter to speed and style this generation, no matter what language you speak.

Mafia 2: Definitive Edition es Mafia 2 en estado puro, para bien o para mal, lo que hace que sigamos teniendo una increíble ciudad como Empire Bay... ciertamente desaprovechada. Gracias a los retoques gráficos, todavía aguanta el tipo 10 años después, aunque algunas mejoras en el control en los tiroteos tampoco hubieran sobrado.

Resumidamente, NBA 2K21 consegue ser o 'buzzer beater', o lançamento que decide tudo já depois de soado o alarme, da mesma forma que é a bola que nem no aro tocou. Sem grandes revoluções comparativamente ao seu antecessor, as microtransações continuam a ser um grande problema e obstáculo à progressão e diversão, especialmente porque há uma falta de equilíbrio entre o progresso conseguido a jogar, em comparação com o investimento de dinheiro real. Destaca-se uma ou outra mudança nos modos de jogo, onde felizmente o ponto mais positivo acaba por ser o fundamental, a experiência vivida dentro do court.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds es innegablemente divertido. Su estilo desenfadado y loco le sienta que ni pintado al wrestling, dando para varias horas de pura locura. Sin embargo, esas virtudes no se llegan a aprovechar del todo en la variedad de modalidades y tampoco en la manera de desbloquear nuevos luchadores, que recuerda a un free to play. Para amantes del wrestling y de la compañía.

Aside from a handful of updates, PES 2021 is ultimately the same as last year's game. So if you already have it, it's not worth the upgrade. But this release asks an important question of us, as gamers and as consumers: are we prepared to tide ourselves over on off-years with packages like this while developers strive for bigger innovations between major releases? Even in normal life, and without new console hardware on the horizon? It certainly seems a more honest business practice to clearly delineate season updates from true new main releases. Ultimately, an evaluation of - deep breath - eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is a review of the IP's business model as much as the football itself. And for the promise of greater leaps forward to come, I’m cautiously in favour.

Golf Story's clever writing and sound golf fundamentals keep it entertaining, even through some stale moments. Despite its light-hearted RPG structure, there’s a challenging and very real golf game here that’s worth coming back to even after the story is over. But it left me wishing that more of the campaign focused on the golf itself, and less on the often repetitive side tasks.

Spelunky 2 é aconselhável para qualquer tipo de jogador, mas é ideal para aqueles que têm demasiada consideração pela sua própria literacia digital. É um bom caso de estudo sobre curva de aprendizagem mecânica com um videojogo, que usa elementos dos roguelike e jogos de plataformas para nos colocar num interminável parque de diversões virtual, que vamos escavando centímetro a centímetro, qual hamster preso numa gaiola, condenados a jogar o mesmo primeiro nível 2 milhões de vezes [mínimo].

Hades nails the core elements of the rogue-lite — tight combat, meaningful customization, varied abilities that differentiate runs, and interesting progression — all laced with a meaningful story hook. It’s one of the few games where the fact that it will keep changing and growing just makes me want to play it more. There is a big difference between a great Early Access release and a great finished game, but Hades has all the makings of something special. (I would expect nothing less from Supergiant.) I don’t see any reason to wait for its final release, because it’s great even in its unfinished state.
