Risk of Rain 2: Survivors of the Void
 – 

Survivors of the Void stands as a DLC brimming with exceptional content

Survivors of the Void stands as a DLC brimming with exceptional content, although it arrives with a few balance changes in the accompanying patch that may raise some questions. I enthusiastically endorse it for its well-crafted content additions and its capacity to invigorate the core gaming experience. However, it's worth noting that the simulacrum mode, which essentially functions as a repetitive horde mode, falls short of delivering a truly engaging experience and may not warrant the investment of your time.

The Ascent
 – 

It's safe to say that the game now reflects what we should have experienced at launch

I initially fell in love with this game upon its release – it boasted a breathtaking world and enjoyable gameplay. Regrettably, it was marred by numerous technical issues, rendering co-op play practically unplayable due to game-breaking glitches. I set it aside for a while, but recently returned to see how it has evolved with subsequent patches. It's safe to say that the game now reflects what we should have experienced at launch – devoid of bugs or glitches, seamless co-op, and resolved progression barriers, among other improvements. Furthermore, the addition of features like Photo Mode, Transmog, and English voiceovers for dialogues, with New Game+ on the horizon, has elevated the game to a truly fantastic level. I wholeheartedly recommend revisiting it if you initially shelved it when it first debuted.

Serious Sam 4
 – 

Serious Sam 4 doesn't deviate from the other entries in the series

Serious Sam 4 doesn't deviate from the other entries in the series, and that's perfectly okay. In fact, the fourth instalment is a return to form for fans of the franchise, that looks and handles perfectly, with more than enough new mechanics and contents to keep the formula interesting and fresh.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
 – 

Yakuza 6 reaches new heights

As an installment of the Yakuza series, Yakuza 6 reaches new heights. However, in the conclusion of Kiryu's story, the resolution is not the greatest. The photorealism of the environments and the cutscenes take the jaw and propel the virtual Yakuza that we are in a fantasized Japan how intoxicating.

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT
 – 

Great entry point for casual fans

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a great entry point for new and casual fans, providing a deeper level of insight and immersion into beloved franchise lore. However, veteran fans of the series may not be as easily impressed. Fluid, fast, and visually stunning combat combined with some intriguing ideas give Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot plenty to root for, but it still doesn't feel as fleshed out and creative as its Xenoverse series.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
 – 

For fans of the series the game is a good improvement

From the creators of the highly acclaimed Until Dawn, which redefined a horror/mystery interactive history, we received the second part of the Dark Pictures Anthology. Little Hope improves upon almost everything from its predecessor. Little Hope presents a captivating story, but the shallow gameplay (part of the series) and underwritten characters. The story is not as engaging as the one on Until Dawn or the newer game The Quarry.
However, for fans of the series the game is a good improvement.

GhostWire: Tokyo
 – 

Very close to being a great game

Ghostwire: Tokyo is very close to being a great game, but the repetitive combat limits its potential. Its setting and atmosphere are excellent, the design is great, and the story and voice acting are perfectly adequate. But the gameplay itself isn't particularly compelling, and without it, all of the other elements can only save so much.

Joe Danger
 – 

The world's most determined motorbike stuntman

The first game from Hello Games (the developers of No Man's Sky).
The player takes the role of Joe Danger, the world's most determined motorbike stuntman. A call back to retro classics like Excitebike, this 3D side-scrolling stunt-em-up is a burst of sugar-rush fun for today's jaded gamer

Joe Danger 2: The Movie

Ghostrunner - Project_Hel
 – 

Focused on combat

The main game (Ghostrunner) let players live out the fantasy of being an agile samurai capable of killing all enemies with a single strike (the main character also dies with a single strike). This DLC allows us to take control of Hel, as she descends Dharma Tower on a bloody quest of her own. Designed to appeal to new players and veterans, she's more combat-oriented and can survive an additional attack compared to the original character.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice
 – 

Aiko's Choice is a standalone expansion to the exceptional Shadow Tactics (2016).

Aiko's Choice is a standalone expansion to the exceptional Shadow Tactics (2016). It continues to be an excellent tactical stealth adventure that adds three new levels and three smaller interludes.
The story returns us to Japan's Edo period to sneak, slash, and stalk our way through expertly crafted outposts and fortresses. And these missions pick up where the already difficult original game left off in ramping up the challenge.

John Wick Hex
 – 

Capture the spirit of the franchise

John wick hex is a good game, somewhat similar to the Hitman Go.
Rather than capitalise on the John Wick IP with a generic shooter, this game has been carefully designed to capture the spirit of the franchise.
It gives you a sense of what goes on inside an assassin's head.
