After the first part of FFVII, I was really excited for Rebirth!

Visually, the game is beautiful and as a character designer too, I love the character designs in FFVII, the story behind each character is really good and I love every interaction.

Another thing I love are the battles, the boss battles are insanely good!

But why don't I recommend it?

- Open world doesn't make sense here, it's just something to please the young generation who are addicted to open world, even if they added some enemies here and there, it's empty!
- World full of unnecessary things like: towers to activate, places to take pictures (you can't even pose your characters in photo mode), cards to collect, minigames, etc.
- Side quests are so boring, completely skippable;
- Summons are useless (played in normal mode);
- Crafting items doesn't seem to make sense, since you can buy better items from machines/vendors.

But that's it, even though I loved one part, I hated the other, but luckily you can skip all the bad things I listed and just enjoy the amazing story!

7/10 in my humble opinion.

FFXVI is phenomenal, like a sword very well forged.

From art direction to it's narrative, the game is amazing!

It's pure fantasy, it's fun and the Eikon battles are awesome (definitely my favorite part of it) but each iconic battle fells like a raid boss from FFXIV (which I'm also a big fan of it), even the sidequests are very fun and connects with the main story.

A very well designed game for true game lovers, I hope that the game industry keeps delivering high quality games like these with badass and good looking character designs in the future.

Highly recommend this game for everyone that likes a pretty good action adventure game.

Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing in every aspect.

The possibilities are far from being limited and every decision that you make will affect you, your party and the world.

This game doesn't limit you, but you are the one that limits yourself! So don't have fear and experiment everything that the game offers for you.

I hope to continue seeing game companies investing more and more on their games like Larian did with this one, the more freedom that you give to the players to play the way they want, the better.

The OST, gameplay, narrative, characters and NPC's, enemy AI and visuals that this game delivers is very impressive.
I HIGHLY recommend this game, a true game experience that we were waiting for.

After the awesome experience with the base game, Phantom Liberty expansion came to improve even more the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Phantom Liberty is AMAZING! With an amazing story, new gameplay mechanics, new skill tree, abilities, soundtrack, side missions and so much more, it feels like a completely new game.

ps: I highly recommend to start a new game if you already played the base game before because the 2.0 update delivers a very fresh new way to play the game.

CD Projekt delivered a masterpiece and I'm so glad that they keept their promisses so now people can experience this awesome game in it's full form.

I'll look forward for the future of this franchise because Cyberpunk genre is my thing!
Have fun chooms!

This was my first experience with Armored Core Series and I regret nothing, as a fan of Robots/Mechas in general this game seems to be made to please my own tastes, it was like: "Man, this game was made for ME!

It's NOT a Souls game and it's not Hard, it's very linear and it's based on missions, each mission has an objective/mini boss/Big boss, at the end of it you'll return to base to pick another mission, that's the whole game.
As I said, the game is not hard, if you are facing a really big challenge to beat a boss it's probably your AC build's fault, so back to garage and adapt it, buy new parts and keep testing it till you achieve your victory.

Now let me review the art direction and gameplay.
It's AWESOME! FromSoftware always delivery the best visual stuff ever, from the very detailed AC's, weapons to beautiful landscapes and cinematic battles. 10/10 here.
And for the gameplay, it's amazing, it's fast (don't blink) and flying with your AC is an unique experience.

I'm not a fan of PVP stuff but here in AC6 you will find one of the best experiences in this category, It's so fun to play 3x3 matches, I really love it!

The game has 3 different endings, on each NG you'll be able to play different missions, new parts, new weapons, new arenas, also the 3rd ending is the true ending so don't stop on the first /second playtrough, it's not the end of the game!

Armored Core 6 is amazing, another great game made by FromSoftware and I'll be waiting for more content for it like DLC's or even new AC games in the future.

It's a solid 10/10 for me.

Elden Ring might be the best game that FromSoftware have released so far after Bloodborne (I'm a big fan of Dark Souls Series too).
This game is so well done, it looks like a playable painting masterpiece.
The art direction, the gameplay, the world, the NPC's, bosses, music, the story behind all of it, there's so many things that I cold point here because everything is so beautiful!
It's an open world game that really feels like a open world because there's life on it, it's not empty and it catches your attention all the time.
Highly recommend Elden Ring for people that likes a good challenge, people that admires art in all shapes, also for the ones that loves to dig to discover more and more about the lore around the game story.
My tips: DON'T RUSH, explore, READ everything, take your time, have fun and KEEP TRYING!
Easy 10/10.
Also very well deserved GOTY award.

[DCL UPDATE]
Shadow of Erdtree is amazing, it's not a DLC but it's an EXPANSION, I also believe it's bigger than the base game.
This expansion was so impressive, the art direction, boss battles, music, exploration, difficult and everything else is even better, it's like Elden Ring 2.0 literally!

This game has become my favorite game of all time. 10/10 again.
I want moooooore! Please Miyazakiiiiiiii!

Having Hyper Light Drifter as one of my favorite games, what about Solar Ash?
A game with very fun and fluid gameplay, very responsive controls, a world full of color, mystery and something that arouses curiosity.
Solar Ash brings a totally different art direction, the Heart Machine studio decides here to experiment with a three-dimensional world and does so with a lot of freedom, which brings even more depth to the world.
In short, imagine a fusion of HLD + Shadow of the Colossus + Evangelion, that's Solar Ash!
Game time hits the average of most of Indie games and worth every moment! 10/10

Eastward is an amazing game from start to finish.
With a beautiful pixel art, soundtrack, charismatic characters and a very engaging story.
A game that definitely joins the list of games that marked my life and was worth every second.
I highly recommend playing 1 chapter a day and putting the controller aside, I can bet that the experience will be much better than simply playing it in order to hit the end as soon as possible, DON'T RUSH IT!
Enjoy the game and everything in it. 10/10

TMNT: SR Is pretty much a love letter to those who watched as much as the TMNT cartoon in the mid 80's and especially the 90's.

A masterpiece that rescues so much nostalgia from previous games but improves what was already fun bringing 16 stages and lots of fun in its 'gameplay', pixel art, boss fights, fantastic soundtrack, level design and the addition of 3 new playable characters that for sure we've all always wanted to play: April, Master Splinter and Casey Jones.

The game is worth every cent even though I received this copy of the game directly from one of the devs.
Congratulations to the entire team at Dotemu and Tribute games! You guys nailed it!

Now let me back an start playing all over again and again.

Thank you again for providing this wonderful experience!

11/10

Final Fantasy XIV is a game I've been avoiding playing for a long time since I was a WoW player and I thought no other MMORPG could be as 'good' and I didn't understand it very well before.

Well, this game is absolutely beautiful in every way (art, sound, story, gameplay, etc), I thought I would never love an online game so much since 'Ragnarok Online' (one of my favorite MMORPGs of all time) and FFXIV did it with perfection.

Even though I played as a lone wolf it was really fun to venture into each mission, meet npc's that I never imagined would be emotionally attached (like One Piece), who would laugh so much with dialogues and moments, that I would want to cry for some event, which I was hoping for something to work out.
The expansions are so good that you're always in the doubt that they can't do anything better than that and they come and prove to you that yes, the next expansion is even better and this is wonderful in a way that you can't put into words.

I would like to point out one thing that I think is perhaps the most important of all and that stands out a lot, the game makes YOU feel important and it involves YOU in such a way in its plot that YOU really feel special and that in an online game!

If you are curious, give this game a chance that allows you to test the game in a very generous and free way for 30 days.

FFXIV is a game that I never forgot and that is now part of one of my favorite games of all time.

Thank you Square Enix team, Naoki Yoshida and Soken for everything!

I WILL REMEMBER!
