Unscored - Jusant
Oct 31, 2023

Jusant is a fantastic game. The music, atmosphere and gameplay is delightful and one of Dontnod best games this year. The environmental storytelling is great but might not work as well with some people but that doesn't take much for the whole narrative. And yes... you can pet the Ballast.

Unscored - F1 23
Jul 17, 2023

F1 23 is more of the same. Codemasters created a great package for the fans of the sport and a good enough tutorial (under the Braking Point campaign) for the newcomers. Without a doubt the game is pretty polished and a fantastic experience for the people that love the F1. The only black spot is Braking Point regarding mechanics, which aren't pretty deep and doesn't prepare you for how hard is gonna be the career mode regarding mechanics like Tire management or the whole R&D.

Classic Racers Elite is a reminder of how important first impressions are, the game have some solid driving and clear ideas of what Vision Reelle wanted in the game but the UI of the game is at odds with the presentation in general. Also the lack of variety in the events makes the experience feels tedious after a few hours.

Unscored - Bleak Sword DX
Jul 4, 2023

more8bit deconstruction of the Soulslike genre is a welcome experiment regarding gameplay and even from a narrative standpoint Bleak Sword DX is pretty interesting but, there's a lot of QoL from the genre that the game could have implemented in this deconstruction without affecting the game greatly, that makes it hard to recommend even to Soulslike die hard fans.

Unscored - Nocturnal
Jun 26, 2023

Between a simple presentation and a deeply personal story, Sunnyside Games crafted a great game that has a lot of highlights in the visual side and combat, but is hard to recommend due to its short length, lack of replay value and finicky platform controllers in some precise moments of the gameplay.

Unscored - Rogue Legacy 2
Jun 24, 2023

The first game definitely carved a name in the Roguelike genre, after a period of Early Access and releases on Xbox and Switch Rogue Legacy 2 is a fantastic experience that kept what make the first game so successful and improving a lot of elements elevating the whole experience to a new level.

Unscored - Post Void
Jun 22, 2023

If you asked me how viable a game like DOOM in acid might be, my answer definitely would have been no. Post Void kind of proves me wrong, the game is a solid and short experience that definitely is worth a shot in case you're looking for a different FPS experience in consoles.

Super Meat Boy was lightning in a bottle and the IP has been trying to replicate this success ever since, Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine is one of the most interesting spin-offs. The whole Puyo Puyo gameplay is good but not enough to support many ideas the game have in store so everything ends up feeling not quite cohesive.

Unscored - Trifox
Jun 13, 2023

Trifox definitely have some great ideas in mind and the idea of mixing a Twin Stick Shooter with a Platformer could be a fantastic project. Unfortunately the game feels like they just placed both mechanics and called it a day, instead of try and merge them in a fun or different way.

Unscored - LEGO 2K Drive
Jun 8, 2023

LEGO 2K Drive is a pretty fun and charismatic game, Visual Concepts nailed the driving part. The cinematics are quite funny regarding characters or some concrete events inside the narrative. Unfortunately the game might feel repetitive with time and the whole "explore the map" so you can find the activities or collectibles is not as good as you might think.

CONVERGENCE was a surprise. As someone that isn't too keen on League of Legends lore, the game commits to a balance between Lore fans and newcomers with a lot of success. For a Metroidvania, the exploration is pretty straight forward and quite simple if you're looking for a deeper experience in the Genre.

Unscored - Terra Nil
May 18, 2023

Terra Nil is a fantastic strategy game, one that only an studio like Free Lives could have developed. The idea of an inverted 4X where the objective is create more nature and reduce the human footprint works great in hindsight, that being said some mechanics are not as intuitive as you might think specially in the latest leg of the game.

The 10th Anniversary version of Q.U.B.E. is ideal for the people that played the original and wants to see a new side of the game with the Director's Cut content. Using queues we saw in Portal and it's sequel, is definitely a noteworthy game although narrative issues might bring the experience down if you want a more conclusive story.

Unscored - Strayed Lights
May 12, 2023

Strayed Lights is one of those small but curious games. The game leans into the parrying mechanic you might find in a soulslike and centers around it creating a great gameplay loop that might be a little bit short for some people, but is worth the experience.

Unscored - LUNARK
May 9, 2023

LUNARK is a solid reminder of how interesting and creative were the Cinematic Platformers and even with the downsides of the genre, Johan Vinet and Canari Games crafted a fantastic game and definitely one worth checking out.

Curse of the Sea Rats is one of those games with a lot of good ideas, but its execution leaves a lot to be desired. The characters and its fight styles are pretty good but the map and navigation across the whole game is definitely not that good.

Unscored - Ravenlok
May 2, 2023

Ravenlok is a game with a predictive narrative and protagonist that is not as charismatic as the rest of the cast, but is a short and enjoyable experience with solid combat and a quite striking visual flair. The puzzles might be a little more intuitive but is a fun game you should play if you want something easy going.

Unscored - Tron: Identity
Apr 28, 2023

TRON Identity reduces the franchise in a game without disk battles like TRON Evolution, but it focuses in a deep story about the Grid and more on replayability. Even if the game was short, I was quite eager to see what could change in every run if I chose differently.

Unscored - Meet Your Maker
Apr 7, 2023

Meet Your Maker is a great mix between Base Building and an Action Roguelike, the game does used the ideas to the fullest but the content can feel stale after a while. Is pretty common to see some fantastic (and tricky) bases but the gadgets and weapons part leaves a big hole that can't be filled only with the building part.

Unscored - Hi-Fi Rush
Mar 24, 2023

Hi-Fi Rush is just impressive. Not only coming of a studio that focuses on Terror, but also for showing us a new IP in a way different genre we would expect from Tango. The game have a lot of heart and is visually stunning, its accessibility features are great for people that isn't good for Rhythm games or just wanna have a breezy time.
