A marvelous adventure graphic game in one of the best years for the genre. [Recommended]

Dune: Spice Wars leaves early access without many relevant changes beyond its campaign mode. The style of play and the political base are maintained, and although it is enough to get you hooked and enjoy the game, at the same time its lack of new features weigths too much.

Is one of the most beautiful games of the year, but I wish could talk better about South of Midnight as a video game.

Armored Core 6 goes way back into FromSoftware's roots to restore a franchise thought long lost, and it does it faithfully both feature-wise and mechanic-wise. Even certain fan-favorite weapons are back, too. As for newcomers to the series, we think they'll will be happy to discover a fun and fast paced combat that's also deep enough to keep them hooked on PvP and S-ranking PvE missions for long after they beat the campaign. Is it for everyone? Probably not. Is it for everyone who's feeling curious and/or nostalgic about it? Yeah, it definitely is. [Recommended]

Blue Prince is one of those games that demonstrates a depth and excellence that we rarely see in the world of video games. [Recommended]

NBA 2K25 performs well on the court, with games feeling slightly more realistic. It offers a variety of game modes, but it remains quite similar to previous installments. Additionally, the monetization remains aggressive.

One of the better video games of the year. MachineGames has created a truly Indiana Jones's experience with a great story, fantastic characters and all the things that we love of this iconic archaeologist. [Recommended]

It's hard to believe but Age of Empires 4 works perfectly on Xbox consoles. A great port with all the contents and features to one of the best RTS of recent years. [Recommended]

Summum Aeterna has been a surprise. A solid roguelite with a bit of adventure. So enjoyable!

Nintendo and Camelot has created a new Mario Golf for Nintendo Switch. It is fun, it has an adventure mode and it also innovates with the quick golf matches. However, it also lacks contents to justify weeks and months of playing.

Doom: The Dark Ages arrives with all the brutality and spectacle you’d expect, but also with a desire to be different and leave its own mark. This isn’t just about improving on what came before, but experimenting and forging its own identity. [Recommended]

One of the best SoulsLike ever made. It's fun even when you die and die and die. [Recommended]

A remaster made by fans for the fans. Is not perfect, but is a really good first step for a new Soul Reaver video game. [Recommended]

Samba de Amigo: Party Central is a hilarious musical game that perfectly respects the classic. Keep the essence of the original and introduce slight changes that feel great. With plenty of game modes, it's a fantastic option for fans of the genre. [Recommended]

It is a rather uneven video game. Its move to Unreal Engine 5 lays the groundwork for the future of the series, but the impact isn’t as solid as promised. The physics are inconsistent, the controls need improvement, and the game modes are limited.

Borderlands 4 delivers, which is no small feat considering the astronomical bar BL2 left behind over a decade ago. Gearbox is well aware of their own successes and wrongdoings and aims for something traditional, yet modernized —a goal that translates into a solid main campaign and several small-scale adjustments and QoL changes that brings the whole thing up a notch. Gorgeous vistas, great campaign, much better controls. Performance sucks big time, though. [Recommended]

There are games you shouldn't miss, games that strive so hard to evolve ideas and genres that, to understand everything that comes after, you have to go back to them. Absolum is one of them. [Recommended]

Sea of Stars is a charming JRPG made outside of Japan that you have to play. [Recommended]

Xenoblade Chronicles X at its peak. Long, beautiful and super fun! [Recommended]

FBC Firebreak has a healthy perspective on multiplayer. It's casual for your average hardcore extraction or looter shooter, yet far from a party game or something in the likes. It wants to be fun. It sorta is. It's just not fun, unique or deep enough to steal hours off the bigger co-op games out there. I still enjoyed my time with it, though, and its many weird quirky aesthetics and mission objectives. No matter how it lands, it's still good in its own right.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is nowhere near a masterpiece, but it's definitely Game Freak's biggest and boldest statement to date. One that leans into the very roots of the franchise looking for a more interesting approach to the trainer-monster relationship, all wrapped up in a world that truly lives up to the mystery in its own name. [Recommended]

GhostWire Tokyo is at its best when you lose yourself in its universe. It's a love letter to Japanese folklore and ghost stories, and even when the open world and combat become repetitive, you never get tired of exploring the streets of Tokyo.[Recommended]

Trine 5 is just as conservative as its prequel, both in terms of mechanics, puzzles, and story, but that's by no means a disadvantage. This fifth installment continues to boast beautiful settings and super fun challenges to complete alone or with friends. [Recommended]

Not a bad remake, but it is really only recommended for true classic gamers.

It's not a revolution, but an evolution. One of the most beautiful Assassin's Creed ever, and also one of the most enjoyables. [Recommended]

Dune Awakening is far from revolutionary, but it raises the quality bar for many other survival MMOs out there thanks to its polished animations, unique spins on combat which sucks but definitely not as much as it could, and of course it's universe and the way it's ever presented to the player. I also enjoyed its progression throughout, with several clearly defined steps teaching different lessons in your journey. Its only big red flag at launch is a really bad endgame content that should get addressed as patches come. [Recommended]

It's definitely one of the best Kirby games ever made. The game design is clever and it has a lot of variety both for veterans and less experienced players.[Recommended]

A beautiful submarine adventure game with a good narrative, awesome art style and funny exploration. [Recommended]

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a video game worthy of belonging to the Borderlands family. It introduces changes and improvements while keeping the essence of the franchise intact. It's impossible not to fall in love with Tina and her fantasy world.[Recommended]

A remarkable port for one of the funniest and more interesting open worlds of the last years. The Ubisoft game looks amazing on Nintendo Switch 2, with a great performance and interesting features, like the gyroscopic controls or the use of touch screen. [Recommended]

That Beyond a Steel Sky is coming to consoles after its release last year on PC is good news. The less positive points like the simplified chat system are still there. However, the simplicity of its control, the good use of the track system, and the graphic modes available in the reviewed version of PS5 make it a title to take into account within the current scenario.

It feels different to the original one but, at the same time, is pure Frostpunk experience. A great and hardcore strategy game with tons of moral choices and unexpected situations. [Recommended]

The bravest Nintendo has shrugged off the easy sell of another Super Mario to embrace an adventure that smacks of plumberdom but has a completely different flavor.

Square Enix has done its homework with a port that, although it remains at 30 fps, offers very high image quality in both docked and handheld modes, attempting to adapt the PS5 version rather than converting the PS4 version, which would have been the easy option. [Recommended]

Purple Lamp has gone above and beyond the call of duty by achieving an extraordinary palette and scenery. The problems with the camera are fixed but the inherent problems in the gameplay, due to a simplistic control and combat, as well as level design and platforming, are still present.

With a rival like Civilization to beat, Xbox exclusive Ara: History Untold surprises even the most veteran with deep, humanistic strategic management. [Recommended]

If you want to play three classic shooters, then this is a decent option. However, you should consider that Saber Interactive and Crytek could have done a better job.

Vengeance shows that Atlus just keeps getting better and better at making re-releases. With upgraded resolution and performance, tons of content and some of the best fights that the SMT series has seen, Vengeance is a must-have for every JRPG fan that enjoys a good challenge. [Recommended]

This mix between JRPG and Soulslike worth your time even if it is not perfect at all. [Recommended]

Despite still being a solid game, Final Fantasy 16's PC port is... complicated. With a good enough PC, it's easy to hit 150+ average FPS, yet, it's an inconsistent experience that usually dips in framerate wherever you least expect it. It's also missing some key features for PC gamers, like high refresh rate cutscenes and ultrawide resolutions. Luckily, these can be modded.

Valiant tries to surprise with its crusade setting and multiplayer modes, but this squad-based RTS has serious narrative problems and a gameplay approach that doesn't feel fresh in any way. Its port to PS5 and Xbox is good, but is not the best video game to enjoy strategy on consoles [Not recommended]

A magnificent remake of one of the best adventure puzzle games ever. [Recommended]

The gamble of 2XKO results in a game that, despite being brilliant in both mechanical and technical terms, hides its true potential under an aggressive business model resulting from being Free to Play.

There's two ways to view Exoprimal. It can be one of these forgettable horde co-op games you've seen over and over again, or you can realize it's an imaginative game about fantasizing with power. It weaponizes its narrator and its engine to deliver dinosaurs in sheer numbers as a primal tool of power and genuine, unadulterated, nerdy fun. The worst part of it is it takes a painful while to do its magic, but oh boy does it do wonders afterwards. [Recommended]

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is a step forward in the series, adding new cool mechanics and introducing a compelling online multiplayer. [Recommended]

Both in terms of design and technically it is true that it is time for a change of generation, but Wo Long is a great farewell because it drinks just enough from Nioh (and Sekiro) to get its own identity. [Recommended]

Cairn is one of those gems we see less and less of these days. It’s a title that plays its hand so well that, just when you think you’ve come for a charming climbing simulator, it delivers a gut punch that makes you question what on earth you’re doing with your life. A superb game, both in its gameplay mechanics and the message it strives to convey. [Recommended]

The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom is the perfect demonstration that Nintendo remains the queen when it comes to renewing and twisting its franchises to offer us something that is completely new and familiar at the same time. [Recommended]

A brilliant sequel that definitely deserves the years we were waiting for it. [Recommended]

This game deserved a better port. The game is good, but it feels too much like a Wii game. It's too slow paced, but the heart of Fatal Frame is still there, so fans will enjoy it.

Blasphemous 2 isn't interested in experimenting. It wants to do one thing, which is metroidvania action, and does it very well. While staying true to the formula, it does however take some room for innovative design within its own limits: worlds that guide the player without taking the fun out of exploring, a variety of pacing and as well as several RPG elements adding some little depth and customization to combat. Overall, it's an immersive journey through a grounded fantasy world with an unique aesthetic and very solid gameplay. A faithful (hah) sequel seeking to improve on every possible aspect [Recommended]

An amazing visual novel you have to play. [Recommended]

Madden NFL 23 is a step-up when it comes to football simulation and gameplay, but it still carries most of the franchise woes from the last decade. It is undoubtedly a better game than last year's entry, but it still has a long way to go on all of its aspects, from the lack of novelty in the game modes to the frequent bugs and glitches. EA Sports has taken steps in the right direction, but they haven't managed to make a real statement on an entry that was supposed to honor the late John Madden.

Ender Lilies has some flaws: their enemies repeats too much and its music too, but it has a sweet gameplay, good bosses and a so interesting world. If you love Metroidvanias, do not miss this one. [Recommended]

A good choice for nostalgic players, but it should have had more new contents.

MotoGP 25 doesn't live up to expectations. The jump to Unreal Engine 5 suggested this installment could mark a turning point in the franchise, but that's not the case. The new disciplines—Motard, Flat Track, and Minibikes—don't add much, the Career mode is stagnant, and the AI ​​remains frustrating. If you're looking for real evolution, this isn't the year for MotoGP, but it might be enough to convince you if you're a die-hard fan.

A brilliant remake for an excellent game, with a great replay value and some interesting additions. [Recommended]

Baldur's Gate 3 is awesome. A superlative RPG that allows you play like you want it (almost) without limits. It missions design, story and graphics turn it in one of the best video games ever. [Recommended]

Emboldened by the well deserved praise earned by its predecessor, Remnant 2 presents itself as both a refinement exercise and a sequel that dares take it deeper into its intertwixted worlds. Offering satisfying combat, 1st minute-ready buildcrafting systems and heavily improved looks thanks to the Unreal Engine 5 port, the game brainstorms some of the best action-RPG experiences you can find in 2023. It's not perfect though, as some really unique systems from the first game (say consumables for instance) have been but erased due to a disagreeable interest for scarcity: fun stuff is locked hard behind in-game currencies and it'll take you a long while to fill up your pockets. [Recommended]

Its premise of linking shooting to the rhythm of its heavy metal tunes is an idea that works even better than on paper, but it's also a fast-paced, precise and well-constructed shooter. [Recommended]

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is many things, but, above all of them, I am left with the feeling of having played a Final Fantasy like those of yesteryear. [Recommended]

Back 4 Blood is one of those titles that is worth leaving permanently installed on your computer. Its shooting mechanics are tremendously entertaining, and it is always a pleasure to kill countless hordes of infected that do not give us rest. Despite having only two game modes, the card system and modifiers make it a very versatile experience both in its cooperative and competitive sections. You may end up missing a few more infected types, however, as you play, you will see that the subclass system gives more variety than it seems. With excellent performance on both consoles and PC, having cross-platform play ensures that there are always people ready to join you in its various scenarios. It remains to be seen how the title evolves over time, as Turtle Rock has confirmed that new DLCs will arrive, in which it will be enough for a single member of the group to have them to be enjoyed by all. [Recommended]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is, nowadays, the purest Yu-Gi-Oh! experience. A gift for the fan of the TCG. [Recommended]

MotoGP 21 is, without a doubt, the simulator of the two-wheel sport par excellence. It has the official license that gives it access to all the official bikers and circuits but, above all, with a great job behind it that allows it to offer a pure and demanding simulation experience but that knows how to reward the player's effort. The package is surrounded by a technical section that gives lukewarm progress for the new generation and, above all, by the presence of that career mode that can become a real sink of hours. If you are a follower of the genre and, above all, if you haven't been close to the saga in years, it is a title to consider.

A good game with good ideas but with flaws within the franchise from the first game that are still here.

A very realistic RTS that will you suffer the war against the machines just like you image would be after watch the movies. [Recommended]

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a true tour de force from a company that knew it had to give its all to stay relevant thirty years after its founding—and it has undoubtedly succeeded. [Recommended]

I can't help but feel that the name “Black” is too big for it. Where the first Black was a bold refinement, this one feels like a timid step, with the same less overwhelming enemies on a difficulty tamed so as not to scare off new players and without that suffocating pressure that made the original NG2 such a unique experience.

The DioField Chronicle presents a successful battle system, with a lot of potential, but it doesn't always squeeze the most out of it. The story fails to captivate neither with its plot nor with its uninteresting characters.

Humankind is a worthy competitor to Civilization, with some fresh ideas that improve on the traditional 4X formula. It may be lacking in some systems, and others need more polishing, but the virtues of Humankind outweighs the negatives by much. It doesn't matter if you are a newcomer to the genre or a true Civ veteran, Humankind will leave you begging for one more turn on each and every game. [Recommended]

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 needs adjustments, some sooner than others. And while it remains a graphical powerhouse, until more patches arrive to stabilize everything the game brings to the table, it is still not recommended to play it. [Not Recommended]

Outriders is an alien among the looter genre. Feels abnormally kind and flexible towards the dedicated sector of the community, it’s deep and fun and challenging from beginning to end and a game that feels worth trying if you’re remotely interested in it. Keep in mind though, the story isn’t as engaging as it seems: this is a game for people willing to upgrade their characters, as everything around that aspect feels like pure seasoning.

A complex SRPG than is very enjoyable despite its story or the hard to understand than sometimes is. [Recommended]

Still being one of the most meritorious manga video games in history. But his ambition it's far from the 2013 project. If you didn't play the original one it's a great opportunity to feel the JoJo sensation.

Gamedec is an RPG that is well worth exploring. Fleeing from combat, he focuses everything on the narrative and, thanks to his elaborate world-building and background, he has managed to hook me from the beginning. As a critic and lover of video games, many of the issues that Gamedec raises are tremendously interesting, frequently opening spaces for reflection on where we are heading as an industry. Few weak points, and those that exist are forgiven for the well-balanced nature of the rest. Something very cool within the RPG in isometric view. [Recommended]

The Outlast Trials offers a very particular cooperative experience, with great moments of fun and genius. However, it is also excessive and repetitive, and is not recommended for a single player.

The concept is as absurd as it is fun and focuses more on new mechanics such as navigation, boarding and crew management than on a deeper narrative, which takes a while to get going. That said, it doesn't forget to offer what it does best: a world full of mini-games and side activities.

Return to Monkey Island is the game that we never expected to play and it's as special as you may imagine. It's hilarious, emotional and very clever. There's a lot of puzzles and islands to explore, and it still bears the heart of the old LucasArts games. [Recommended]

Innovation is not the key feature in Octopath Traveler II, but it is still a great JRPG for fans of the genre. [Recommended]

A solid port of an already nice roguelike that resembles the game mechanics enjoyed in Hades. And the best way to squeeze the full potential of this game is playing in coop (4P). [Recommended]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 aspires to be the biggest game in the series, but in the process, it forgets not only that being the best doesn't always mean being the best, but also part of its own identity. With an unusual campaign, large maps, and a consistent yet remarkable Zombies mode, the overall excellence is enhanced by a multiplayer mode that, once again, doesn't disappoint.

One of the best VR experiences of the year. The game captures Metro's feelings with great horror moments, stealth and of course, fantastic shootings. [Recommended]

Is not perfect, but you must play it. Atomic Heart is a great action game with an amazing setting and funny gunplay. [Recommended]

Farthest Frontier is a deeply complex and rewarding city-builder that lets players learn through experience, even if its challenging progression can sometimes feel steep. [Recommended]

It's fun and is perfect to play with kids. [Recommended]

NBA 2K22 is once again a step forward in gameplay and realism, but it's also a step back in everything else. Microtransactions are as aggressive as ever, advertisements and promotions are as invasive as ever, bugs are as common as ever in The City and, overall, it seems that Visual Concepts is doing some things knowing that there are no competitors in the basketball games genre.

With Knights of Honor II: Sovereign! a very strange feeling comes over me: rather than a sequel, it feels like a very conservative and limited remake of the original title, which came out in 2004. It has a good strategic foundation, but it's stuck in the past.

Company of Heroes 3 is so intensive and spectacular, that it feels like an action game setting on WWII, but is a great strategy game with a strong story campaign in Africa and a new game mode with Total War style. [Recommended]

Kunitsu-gami is a great mix of Tower Defense, action and strategy. Capcom has managed to balance all its mechanics so that they do not lose depth and, at the same time, are attractive to all types of players.

One of the most eagerly awaited games of all time, at least for those of us who love football, has turned out to be a false start. Although the tactical innovations are spectacular, and the moderate graphical upgrade is welcome, FM 26 is far from being the best version of itself. It will surely be better in a few weeks or months, not to mention the good foundation it will provide for FM 27, but right now it is a product for the most dedicated fans and is far from being a total leap in quality after the year-long hiatus caused by the cancellation of the previous edition.

The best version of Dragon Quest III is this HD-2D Remake. [Recommended]

A lovely and tiny open world to find joy with your friends.

A nice game to take photos of your favourite family with goodies to unlock and minigames to play. Unfortunately, it’s just that.

A beautiful and deep city-builder with tons of options and a great design, but with an interesting but poor war system. Is perfect for new players, but also for the veterans. [Recommended]

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is a title that, at the time of its release, could already be considered outdated by market trends. However, that is where its charm lies, in maintaining a formula that has worked since its inception on PS2 and exposing Japanese terror as very few have achieved within the video game. This relaunch brings with it a handful of additions such as improving its rate of images per second, reducing loading times, new aesthetic content or the inclusion of photo mode. Although the original experience, hand in hand with the Wii U GamePad, is unrepeatable, the version analyzed on PS5 manages to correctly adapt its mechanics. Without a doubt, a game more than necessary for horror lovers. [Recommended]

One Piece is back with a new adventure game created by ILCA and Bandai Namco, a classic JRPG with fun turn-based battles, good graphics and an interesting plot… but its gameplay is quite basic and straightforward.

The First Descendant is a fine addition to the shooter-looter family as it features the enemy variety and RPG depth many of its casual so-called competitors lack of. There's no doubt many will it their new home, although its pricey store and boring guns make it a lesser version of Warframe in our eyes.

Arc Raiders achieves precisely what the extraction formula has been missing: approachability. It's a world that's appealing on its own for pretty much anyone —immersive, tactile, suggestive. It just happens to have an extraction mechanic and progression system on top of it. The game nails these features too. Loot and gear is easy to understand, hard to earn. Figuring out the PvE mobs can be tricky but also fresh and rewarding. There's plenty of both friend and foe depending on your personal preference, and the rewards for leveling up and investing resources are all satisfactory. Great game overall. [Recommended]

A surprising mix of souls-like combat, role playing progression and semi-open environments game structure. Definitely, a very original and compelling hack 'n slash adventure and action game. [Recommended]

Knockout City is a fresh and fun take on multiplayer. Should be amazing to play with friends and family and there’s tons of cool stuff to play every season. However it should be noted that there’s barely any depth attached to its core gameplay mechanic and therefore it becomes repetitive after just a few hours.

The Williams have preferred to pay a faithful homage to the original design, and that makes it a very interesting historical piece, but also a missed opportunity to adapt the game to a current audience that will find friction and a certain lack of logic to its puzzles and mazes.

If you are looking for a somewhat more warlike and varied RTS experience, you will come across a problem: Solium Infernum is committed to an idea and lives and dies with it, which translates into a more contained experience than you would like.

Hi-Fi Rush has turned out to be a real surprise. It does so by allying itself with rhythm to power up attacks, but also with a design that works both inside and outside of combat arenas. [Recommended]

Ubisoft has created one of the best VR Games ever, adapting with mastery the Assassin's Creed stealth action and parkour. [Recommended]

What Nixxes achieves is, once again, a tremendous success, and it was not easy with a Decima Engine that is demanding even for the best PC. The port of Horizon Forbidden West to computer is as good as it is beautiful. [Recommended]

A thrilling and fun adventure you can not miss [Recommended]

The first Outcast was a video game ahead of its time and its sequel still feeling special. It's great to explore its sci-fi world but the Outcast A New Beginning's action feels old too. Is repetitive and its has a poor missions designs. Is a placer come back to Adelpha, but we expected more.

Its atmosphere of gothic fairy tale and folk horror blend perfectly in this lost village of Victorian England and transmits to the player a sense of uneasiness that worsens throughout the game. [Recommended]

Aphelion is a deep, personal space story that trades action for a great mystery. A quiet and atmospheric adventure held back by its simple mechanics.

Being a fan of the original, but even if I wasn't, I can only not recommend Flashback 2. Nothing in it works.For its importance and legacy, it is one of the biggest disasters I have played lately. [Not recommended]

Contra is back and live with a really enjoyable reimagination of the original coin-op game. [Recommended]

A brilliant return for the classic Dead Space with a great remake that looks amazing, and feels really good with all new options. [Recommended]

A very interesting trip to other planet, with tons of exploration and some bits of action and puzzles.

One of the most enjoyable strategy experiences of the year [Recommended].

A failed attempt to make an enjoyable beat 'em up starred Asterix and Obelix. It 's repetitive and uninspired. [No recommended]

At times RPG and at times adventure game, The Thaumaturge is a blend of different flavors that offers a multilayered experience. Certainly a peculiar game that learned to love through its unique personality. [Recommended]

I never thought that I could play Age of Empires 2 on console without problems. That Definitive Edition shows me how, and it's really fun. [Recommended]

Dead Island 2 is smarter than it looks, that knows how to narrate with its environment and use it to take down zombies in creative ways while building a solid level design. [Recommended]

Nier is a vindication of a kind of game that our industry desperately needs. A daring game that asked itself where is the frontier of the impossible in our medium and answered that question with ideas that still resonate in our memory. [Recommended]

The weirdest metroidvania you have ever played.

Is not the great return that we expected, but it still being an interesting survival horror.

A fun game with a lot from Mother 3 and The Legend of Zelda. It’s not a perfect game but it's worth your time.

An enjoyable experience for veteran users, but not for newbies.[Recommended]

MotoGP 26 is a clear step forward for the series. It is not revolutionary, and some modes still need more depth, but Milestone has improved what matters most: the riding. Better physics, more intuitive handling, stronger wet-weather racing and dynamic climate make it far more enjoyable than last year’s game. [Recommended]

A good choice for retro nostalgic gamers, but it should have included some important games from the 8 and 16 bits era.

It has its flaws, but it's a fun metroidvania full of jumps and fights.

Bayonetta Origins is a wonderful surprise that is not only recommended for fans, but for gamers looking for an interesting and artistically brilliant adventure. [Recommended]

An upgraded version created for PS5 of the already excellent R-Type Final 2, one of the best side-scrolling shooters for the system that includes several innovations like new levels and modes.

A titanic effort to create an immersive adventure action game with the virtue to surprise you again, and again. [Recommended]

SteamWorld Build is a fun and original building simulator with a satisfactory sense of progression and challenge.[Recommended]

Fun but without ambition.

Not only does it pay homage to the 2005 classic very well, but it refines many situations and modernizes them to add more tension. One of the best remakes I've ever played, and also one of the best Resident Evil. [Recommended]

The exploration and platforming is at the best level I've seen in a video game of this style, but in action and combat there is still much to polish, as the game covers too much and ends with a system that is not always accurate. [Recommended]

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes understands very well what makes Little Nightmares special: its atmosphere, its sense of helplessness, and that constant danger that seems to follow you at every step. It is brief and narratively light, but also an immersive experience. [Recommended]

Despite its beautiful pixel art, this graphic adventure game is not so brilliant when we talk about puzzle design or its story. But if you are looking for an adventure like the old times, it is a good option.

Last Train Home manages to offer something fresh without being revolutionary: a RTS game focused on small-scale battles and the intimate stories of a small group of soldiers, elevated by its management mechanics and a deep, immersive story that I can fully recommend. [Recommended]

Almost like all the works sponsored by Devolver Digital, it is not a game for everyone. I'm not very good at puzzles, but with Children of the Sun I could barely take my eyes off the screen. It's not for everyone, but its uniqueness is worth it [Recommended]
