Public Diary of Videogames

  Super Mario Galaxy 8.5/10 This game is an amazing platformer; it has a few hiccups, but overall it's one of the best 3D platformers of all time. It is also imperative to mention that I experienced this masterpiece not on its original system, the Wii, nor on the remaster for the Switch, but as a native port for the Quest 3 (GalaxyQuest),  where I firmly believe it is the ultimate version of the game so far. Adding stereoscopic 3D to any platformer is an undeniable plus; it makes depth and manoeuvres way easier and more engaging. Not only that, but it fits the scale of the planets and their depth as spheres. There is an immersive mode which is certainly a bonus, but I stuck to the original big-screen approach since the game was designed for that perspective, and applying it immersively changes too much of the gameplay. The game as well is running at a higher resolution and framerate and conserves the Wii motion features that the Quest controllers do flawlessly; indeed, this is...

The Binding of Isaac 8.4/10 This game is so creative and smart in its gameplay, sound design, music, and narrative. The game is amazing at everything, but completing the game and all its original endings felt more like a chore than fun; I was done with the game long before I finished it. Developed by:  Nicalis

DmC: Devil May Cry 5.5/10 This reboot is something rare: not excellent but certainly overhated. The story is plagued with basic flat stereotypes, cutscenes are poorly implemented, and secret missions are a chore, but overall it is an entertaining game with good mechanics Developed by: Ninja Theory

  Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 9.5/10 No game has ever made me feel like Hellblade since Bioshock Infinite, and it even surpasses it. This game proves, doubtless, that video games are art, and I must say how great the performance of Melina J uergens is Developed by:  Ninja Theory

Dishonored 9.6/10 This is one of the most visually beautiful games ever made. Despite not having reached graphical fidelity and some environments falling short due to technical limitations, this, alongside its story, narrative, and storytelling mechanisms, and well-crafted worldbuilding, made this a masterpiece from all aspects of it. Gameplay is implemented harmoniously with all other elements, where one complements the other and no element is bluntly separated from the others, Developed by:  Arkane Studios

Daedalus 7.1/10 This game is more of an experience, laidback, relaxing, and if you are into that, this game is perfect. Vertical Robot crafted some amazing landscapes taking advantage of all of VR from massiveness, perspective, colors, depth, and graphics from 2017 on a quest 3 look surreal, sure this game is a blast if you know where to look literally.
