BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is like a jigsaw puzzle made of pieces from four entirely different sets, that by some miracle still manage to fit together to make a unique and mesmerizing tag fighting game. Aside from its unsatisfying single-player mode and aggravating paywalled characters, it’s just the right blend of accessibility and depth, and one of the best entry points into fighting games you’ll find.

When it gets going you can see the potential of the way it offers you more power if you consume its interesting citizens. But Vampyr never commits to this idea to the point where I felt I needed to make that sacrifice to succeed in its relatively simple combat, which leaves it feeling toothless and vulnerable to having a lot of its fun sucked away by technical issues, despite its genuinely engaging story.

Hours of Darkness is a clever and fun but brief twist on the Far Cry formula. Its new approach to Guns for Hire AI companions gives you something other than yourself to worry about during battles, and its use of perks as a reward for stealth kills encourages my favorite style of play in an interesting way, but can bring your momentum to a screeching halt when you slip up.

Pena não se tratar da sequela que tantos fãs receberiam de braços abertos, esses terão poucos motivos para adquirir esta versão Pro, quantos aos restantes, os milhares de jogadores que nunca o experimentaram, têm aqui um dos melhores RPG de ação disponíveis para consola, com opção couch co-op, coisa rara hoje em dia.

Lo que hace que se le noten un poco más las costuras del juego base en cuanto a mecánicas y, sobre todo, IA. Al menos sí que introduce un par de novedades que exprimiremos al máximo en las tres horas que dura... Pero se nos antoja algo escaso y limitado este primer contenido descargable de Far Cry 5.

Com doses generosas de violência gratuita e um tom masoquista, esta aventura carregada de sangue não é para os mais sensíveis. No entanto, apesar de ser ousada e dos seus ambientes retratarem o Inferno como o maior pesadelo possível, até as paisagens fantasticamente obscenas e sons assustadores se tornam mundanos e aborrecidos no final dos seus labirintos repetitivos, das suas caças ao item sem imaginação e gameplay stealth fraco.

Downward Spiral: Horus Station, por suerte, no es otro de ésos, y sí funciona como un juego tradicional donde morir en sus enfrentamientos, atascarnos buscando ese ítem que abre la siguiente zona, o con una variedad de gadgets y situaciones jugables que lo convierten en una odisea espacial poderosa que además se sustenta en un convincente apartado audiovisual basado en la simplicidad. Lástima que algunos errores técnicos no le dejen llegar más alto.

The weakness in the core infantry combat, which tilts a bit too much away from quick, tactical thinking and into correctly guessing how the enemy line will be arranged, was the main issue that kept me from really coming to love it. Historical inaccuracies aside, though, it scratched my itch for a traditional RTS in a way that will probably keep me coming back.

Что же до Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers: ну, она играбельна. Скучна. Но играбельна. Если вам этого достаточно и хочется какого-нибудь глупого экшена на двадцать минут поездки в метро — возможно это ваш вариант. Для тех же, кто ценит игры за все, что в этой игре отсутствует — пройдите переиздание Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey и получите настоящий и качественный игровой опыт.

Agony proves that, like beauty, horror can be only skin deep. With gratuitous amounts of violence and masochistic overtones, this blood-soaked adventure is not for the faint of heart. But while its bold and detailed environments depict Hell in the most nightmarish ways possible, even the fantastically obscene sights and creepy sounds become mundane and dull by the end of its series of repetitious mazes, unimaginative item hunts, and weak stealth gameplay.
