Resident Evil 4 Remake manages to live up to the original classic, offering a campaign that has a constant feeling of newness. There are many changes, but the final balance is quite positive. It is a must-have title for any RE or RE4 fan.

95 / 100 - Street Fighter 6
May 30, 2023

Street Fighter 6 is another Capcom hit. It's a complete package, offering plenty of content and accessibility for every type of player. The fighting mechanics are varied, fun and take a long time to master. The World Tour mode is interesting and offers something varied for the series, even if it has some issues.

95 / 100 - Quake II
Aug 28, 2023

Quake II is a great remaster, with content to spare and impeccable work to bring a classic back. The multiplayer is fun, especially the entire campaign in the co-op.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 improves on the original in every way: a more focused and engaging story, varied missions, a very agile traversal system, and combat on epic scales.

Tekken 8 is a natural evolution of a fantastic series.

Spider-Man is easily one of the best superhero games of all time. The gameplay is great, whether in combat or while swinging throughout the New York buildings. The story is also well built. However, the "human" parts, when we control Peter Parker and Mary Jane for example, are weak and break the rhythm. Luckily, those parts are a minority and do not ruin the experience as a whole. Spider-Man is a must have game.

92 / 100 - Tekken 7
Jun 5, 2017

Regarding its gameplay and multiplayer, Tekken 7 provides the best: new mechanics, balance, great variety of characters and even a never before seen online mode. However, its single-player, something the series is appraised for, is a letdown. There are few options and the lone player, instead of playing them, will take his time customizing his characters.

Banned Footage Vol. 2 is a better DLC than Vol. 1, with very good new additions: a mode that explains what happened before the main story of the base game, a blackjack game and an innovative, challenging, varied and addictive minigame. The problems are almost non existent - even the story mode of this DLC has two endings. However, the price of this DLC is higher than the previous one.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm continues to surprise with one of the best episodes of the entire series. There are unexpected moments and the ending leaves the player eagering to see what's coming next in the third and final chapter.

When it was released, Street Fighter V featured an interesting gameplay and it was set to receive a lot of content. The first year was solid, while the second year is debatable. However, the third season has already begun in the right way with the launch of the Arcade Edition. The game got even better with the new modes and gameplay options. For those who were afraid to check out the game, it is time to do it. The only problem, for now, is the changes made to get Fight Money.

Burnout Paradise was one of the best racing games in the last generation and seemed like a title beyond its time. The remastered version still offers a game that has aged very well after 10 years and it has all the DLCs included. The only problem is that it's the same game with no new features, except graphics with better resolution. It is worth replaying it for nostalgia. If you have never played it, the time is now.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an excellent action and adventure title. The stealth mechanics present are great, the possibilities of approach are also very good and the technical part deserves all the compliments possible. The graphics are amazing and the sound effects are one of the best I have ever experienced on PS4. These two factors combined create a simply incredible ambience. Finally, the optional content continues to be quite vast. However, the story isn't so great, as well as certain side quests.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a package that offers three games with engaging stories, unbelievable twists and extremely charismatic characters. These three games are completely mandatory. However, while the graphics have been very well remastered, the sounds are outdated. The lack of support for Brazilian Portuguese is also sad. Also, the price is a bit high for the collection.

90 / 100 - Mortal Kombat 11
Apr 29, 2019

Mortal Kombat 11 is an excellent fighting game. It offers many new features in its gameplay, including elements that bring innovation in mechanics that most developers do not usually risk altering - and that's a pretty positive thing. The story mode is still great, although its conclusion is somewhat disappointing. The different game modes are great as well, like the vast tutorial, the functional online, Towers and Krypt. It's in Krypt, however, that you'll notice that you'll have to play for a long time to get access to a lot of game content and this can be a little discouraging.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a great and challenging karting game. Due to its unique drift system, there is plenty of space for you to devote some time into mastering the title. The content is also great, bringing the tracks from Crash Nitro Kart. However, there are some problems, like online with lag and getting items in the in-game store may require a lot of time. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is considerably challenging, which can frustrate many players and at the same time please others.

Trine 4 is a return to its origins. Contains a solid, fun and puzzle-packed campaign. The four player multiplayer is great. The downside comes from the bad combat mechanics and some bugs that may occur, mostly online.

90 / 100 - Resident Evil 3
Mar 30, 2020

Resident Evil 3 is another excellent Capcom title. Despite being a little short, it is challenging and encourages the player to finish it more than once. The story remains interesting and the gameplay is basically the same as in Resident Evil 2 Remake with some improvements (which is not a bad thing). The graphics and the sound effects are incredible. To make up for the short single-player campaign, Capcom presents us with the RE Resistance multiplayer, which has an interesting proposal and is a great addition to the package, but its long learning curve can keep some players away.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is insanely difficult. This can be a positive or negative point, depending on your vision. However, the stages are, in general, too long, making the game exhausting at certain times. Except this and if you are not easily frustrated by high difficulties, Crash Bandicoot 4 is a must have title that has both nostalgia and novelty.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is the definitive edition of one of the best games released by Capcom. Whoever played the original can take advantage of technical improvements, new modes and Vergil. But, in general, the game remains basically the same, so I strongly recommend it to those who haven't checked out the original yet.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the definitive package (so far) of one of the best fighting games released in recent years. Rain, Mileena and Rambo are welcome additions. It's great that the PS5 version exists, but it doesn't offer much beyond the improved loading – which wasn't bad on the PS4.
