Bravely Default is a JRPG developed exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a classic RPG with some unique features that set it apart from other franchises.
The best part of the game is the battle mechanics. During battles, you can use the 'Default' option to defend and save an action for a future turn, or you can use the 'Brave' option to expend stored actions and take multiple actions in a single turn.
To gain an advantage of your characters' classes (known as 'jobs' in the game), you must use the 'Brave' and 'Default' options. All of this makes the game complex, but at the same time, it is easy to understand.
The story is actually quite good and I wasn't expecting that. The plot twist is really unexpected and makes you ponder how you didn't see it coming. I won't reveal too much, but it's fascinating to see how the game's main screen hints how the game will end since the beginning.
The downside of the game is how repetitive it can be. After some hours of gameplay, you will find yourself facing the same bosses you have already defeated. They will still have the same weaknesses and powers, but with slightly increased strength. You will encounter each boss at least five times.
Bravely Default is a good game that was forgotten in the Nintendo 3DS library. If you enjoy classic JRPGs with engaging storylines, then this game is a must-play. However, as I mentioned earlier, the game's repetitive nature may be a downside for some players, including myself.

God of War Ragnarök is the sequel to one of the best PS4 games. As a sequel should be, Ragnarök takes the features of the previous game and makes everything better.
It’s important to start this review by saying that it’s necessary to know the story of the last game. If you have never played the 2018 game, they will tell you what happened right at the beginning of Ragnarök, but you will probably miss the connection between the characters. It’s not necessary to play the other games of the franchise, but if you did, you will understand more about Kratos at this moment of his life.
The gameplay is almost the same as the previous game. Some powers were added, but nothing special. Don’t get me wrong... I can say the battle system is nearly perfect.
The visuals are nothing special. If you are playing on the PlayStation 5, you'll see that it could have better effects. They chose to release a PS4 version, and it makes the PS5 users pay a price.
To finish here, I say it’s a must-play game if you have a PlayStation console. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great game from an important franchise. I had fun, but nothing more than that. The fact that they decided to improve the previous game and release a PS4 version makes me feel that this game could be even better.

The Last of Us: Part I is the best way to play one of the best games ever made but it's not a product for everybody.
The PS3 and PS4 versions of The Last of Us are still good even today. Even after 10 years, the PS3 game looks like a modern game. So why should you play this version?
If you played The Last of Us in the last few years, I would say to you stay away of this version. It's the same game with graphics a lit bit more closer to Part II.
But if you played the original version when it was released on the PS3 or you never had the chance to play any of them, I think there's no reason for you to play the older versions.
The Last of Us: Part I takes one best games of all time and make it even better. The new graphics don't let the game look old.
I probably don't need to talk about the story. It's still one best stories on the entertainment busniess.
The gameplay is the same we saw on the older versions. It's not bad at all, but Sony could work in some upgrades.
The bad side? It's not a remake like Sony said. It looks like a remaster and everybody knows that! Why?
In the last few years we had a lot of remakes nomitaded for the VGA and it didn't happened to The Last of Us: Part I. I'm pretty sure if this was the first version of the game, he would probably win the Game of The Year award. As everyone knows it looks like more as a remaster, it wasn't even nominated.
Like I said, you should give it a try if you only played the game when the first version came out or if you never had the experience.
Even with all that, I had a great time. The Last of Us still one of the best experiences that you could have with videogames.

When the first Harry Potter movie was in the theaters, EA decided to realese a lot of games about that story. Almost every plataform in the market had a Harry Potter game that was unique. They did the same thing when the Chamber of Secrets came out in 2002.
This review is about the Gameboy Advance version. It's probably not the best one but it has a special place in my heart.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a classic isometric action game for GBA. Like almost all games from this console, the visuals are incredible for its time.
When I was a child, I played this game several of times but never finished (i couldn't beat the final boss). When I started the game again a few weeks ago, I understood why I loved this game so much: it makes me fell like a student of Hogwarts.
The action segments are ok. Nothing special. You attack the enemies from distance with your spells.
There's also stealth parts and to be honest, they are pretty bad.
The story is the same of the book. Probably it wasn't the best way this story was told but that's not a problem here.
It's a short game and takes just two hours to finish. Again, it's not a problem. It's a game that could make you fell bored with more time of gameplay.
This game was made for Harry Potter fans, so if you don't have any connection with the franchise, you probably won't see anything to make you like this game.
If you lived the GBA era and like Harry Potter, you'll probably like. It's not a fantastic game but this world is so special for who grow up with the books and movies.
If you have to play this version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets? I can say that you have to give it a chance only if you like this world and GBA isometric action games.

This is not a game. The Matrix: Awakens is a tech demo developed to show to the world the power of Unreal Engine 5, the next big thing of the gaming industry.
I was amazed to see in this tech demo how the video games are developing. I know that The Matrix: Awakens was made for market reasons and I also know that we'll probably have wait for almost a decade to see a full game with this result but it's really cool see the future on your hands right now.
The tech demo looks like a attraction that we could see at Disney or Universal's park, especially if you have a good TV and a headphone. It's almost not a game but the action segments are really fun to play.
It's a short experience (30 minutes). The visuals are incredible and the gameplay is also pretty sick (but I have to say it has a encrypted action segments).
It's a free "game" so I think you should give it a try, especially if you want to see how the future of gaming will be.

Comix Zone is a classic. No one can argue otherwise. It was an amazing game, and it still is today.
I have to start this review by talking about its art. The game is beautiful. It could be an indie game released for modern consoles. It's really impressive to see this game on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The fact that they decided to create a game that takes place in a comic book helped to prevent it from feeling dated.
Unfortunately, the combat is a problem. The enemies somehow know what you're going to do before you do it. Additionally, sometimes you have to destroy certain items to move forward, but doing so causes you to lose HP! That's why this game is really difficult, and if you die, you have to start from the beginning. There are no checkpoints!
That's why I would say it's almost impossible to finish this game today without save states. It's a short game, but it's nearly impossible to complete it on its original console.
I think you should give Comix Zone a chance if you have the game. You can play it on Nintendo Switch Online or another emulator. Don't let the difficulty be an issue for you, because if you use a save state, you won't have a problem finishing it.

Life is Strange 2 is that kind of game that let you decide how your character will interact in some dialogs and situations. Every choice you make will change the end of the story. There are really good games that are perfect on it like Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain.
The fisrt Life is Strange and Before the Storm are masterpieces. They teach us how to conect with the characters, something really important in this type of game. Life is Strange 2 does not do that. To be honest, I didn't like the brothers and thought the small one really annoying. This is really bad and the game fails in something really important.
That makes you don't care about some parts of the story that the developers tried to make you shocked. To be honest, threre are just two scenes that made me fell some emotion.
If you don't know how this game works, I can tell you is pretty simple. Like I said before, the game focus in how you will interact with world arround you. There's no action segments that let you control the character. You'll only decide how to answer some questions or how to react in a situation. Everything you decide will make the following events change. That's another problem here.
You won't have a different story if you play the game multiple times. Only the end will change. For me, it's pretty bad. If you compare with games like Detroit: Become Human and As Dusk Falls, almost everything changes with your decisions. That's a problem for me here.
It's not a bad game but it's not as good as the first two. Life is Strange 2 is the most forgettable game of the franchise and I'm saying this after True Colors that it's a just a cool game, nothing more than that.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a free demo set in the Life is Strange 2 Universe.
The game is about a son and a dad who live in small town in the US. During this demo, you'll know more about them but not enough to complete their story. You'll see them again in the second chapter of Life is Strange 2 and you will only see how their story ends there.
What you do in this free demo will change what will happen in the second chapter of Life is Strange 2. To be honest, it's not much, almost everything is for cosmetic purpose and to introduce the characters.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit fails in introduce the franchise to new players. I missed almost everything that makes Life is Strange one of my favorite franchises. I only recommend if you're planning to play Life is Strange 2.

Tearaway was developed to be a game able to show all Playstation Vita’s feature. When you heard this, you probably thought that’s a bad thing, right? It isn’t.
I never saw a game so good trying to show all of its console could do. Maybe Astro’s Playroom for PS5 has the same sucess.
Tearaway is 3D plataform game like Mario. The gameplay is nothing special but the way they use the Playstation Vita’s features makes this game a special one.
The story is about a creature who needs to deliver a mail to the sun, a mistic and mysterious creature who lives in another world. Who is the sun? You!
The game is always using the Playstation Vita’s camera. When you see the sun in this world, you are there.
How do we face the enemies? Using the touch part of the Playstation Vita’s back. In the game, you’ll see a finger emerging from the earth and doing the same moviments as you do.
They tell that the sun is helping the creature in its journey. That’s prety fun how they make you part of the story.
Tearaway is a really good 3D plataforma and it’s probably the best game that uses the Playstation Vita’s feature. You should play it if you have the chance!

When I was playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss, I saw a game designed to show the PlayStation Vita's features. It’s almost a tech demo to sell the console. Even with that, we can’t say it’s a bad game. It’s a really good game but it could be better without those things.
The gameplay is almost the same that we always see on other Uncharted games. It’s a third person shooter. Like I said before, it could better if they decided to leave out some Playstation Vita's features but I can’t say it make all bad.
Before I play it, I always thought that was impossible to make the Uncharted vibe on a portable console but I was wrong. We always fell that we are playing Uncharted.
The story is good. Ok, it feels like a filler but the new characters are charismatic and made think what happened to them after the end because we never saw them on the main line games. Only a few old faces will show during the game and for me it was a problem.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a good game but it could be better. The Uncharted vibe almost hide almost all the problems.
If you have a PlayStation Vita and never played Uncharted: Golden Abyss, I don’t know what you are awaiting for. Please, make you a favor and play it.

Killzone: Mercenary is incredible. Don’t get me wrong, you won’t find anything new in this FPS but it’s really amazing to play it on a portable console.
We’re talking about one the of the most beautiful games from PlayStation Vita. With some work, it could be a PS3 game or even a PS4 game.
I never played the main titles of the Killzone franchise but I can say that Mercenary has a good story. We all know it’s not comum to expect a good story from war FPS games.
It’s a short game and that’s why I tell you will have fun playing even if you’re not a FPS fan like me.
The gameplay is really good. I didn’t miss the R2 and L2 buttons at all. They really did a great job changing the commands normally used in these buttons to PlayStation Vita's features .
Killzone: Mercenary is a must play game for the PlayStation Vita owners. Even you’re a not FPS fan, you have to play it.

Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure is one of the most beautiful games from the Game Advance. Nobody can say otherwise.
The gameplay is near perfect. It’s really enjoyable fight against regular enemies or bosses.
Something I also have to say is: this game is really hard. The stages are huge and if you die, you’ll have to go back to a certain point and lost almost everything you did. It’s a classic ‘00 game and today I think it’s almost impossible to finish it without save state.
The story is the same one of the Dragon Ball anime. You’ll see the fist steps of Goku when he was I child.
Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure is a really fun game but really hard in its original hardware. I say that you have to give it a chance only if you are able to play it on a emulator.

Portal is a classic game that changed the industry forever. I played Portal 2 years before but the original game was in my backlog since its release. A few weeks ago, I turned on my PS3 after so many years and finally gave it a chance.
When you play this game on the PS3 you see how old it is. The loading screens take forever to finish and the gameplay looks kind of old. Even with all that, you can have a lot of fun and the puzzles are still very good.
Portal 2 improved everything designed in this one but this doesn't make Portal bad.
The game is really short but it's incredible how the story and the gameplay are really good.
If you have the chance to play Portal, play Portal. It's a short game that you'll have a lot of fun and see how the industry used a lot of things designed for it.

New Pokemon Snap was probably one of the most wanted sequels by the Nintendo fans and I was one of them. I played Pokemon Snap on my Nintendo 64 when I was A child and always wanted to live that experience again.
After saying that, I have to say it was good to live the experience of New Pokemon Snap but it wasn't I expected for almost all my life.
There's nothing bad with New Pokemon Snap to be honest but I think this gameplay is not so fun as it was in the past. It's a simple game that you have to take photos of Pokemon in different stages and trying to interect with them.
I always thought they lost a great oportunity to do a sequel on Wii U with the motion control of the gamepad. That could make this game a lot of fun and bring some new mechanics of gameplay for the franchise.
One thing that I have to say: New Pokemon Snap is the most beautiful Pokemon ever made.
To finish my review I can say that it's a good game to revive a moment of your life if you played the original game when you was I child. I don't know if you'll like it if you never played the one realesed the one on the Nintendo 64.
After saying all that I have to say: Nintendo shouldn't ask U$ 60 for this game.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is probably the best 2D Zelda game ever made, even better than remake of Link's Awakening from the Nintendo Switch.
The combat here is near perfect. The boss battles are incredible.
I always felt kind of lost in all 2D Zelda and I didn't know where to go. In A Link Between Worlds, I always knew what to do. That's incredible because you have two worlds to visit and you always have to change from one to other to get to some places.
The story is problably the best of the franchise. You don't give much for it until the last cutscene.
