The next big thing in the beat em up. Delicious in his playability and fresh in his visuals. Needs more charisma for his characters, but his lack of great heroes and villains it's served with his fighting mechanics. Maybe the biggest step in the XXI century for the genre. [Recommended]

A flashy hack'n slash attempt that it's fun to play… but only during the first minutes. It's just too simple and monotonous.

Expeditions: Rome has absolutely everything a good RPG needs to succeed. His narrative, rhythmic and interesting as if it were the best Rome’s Empire novel, immerses you fully in his story. Thanks to the system of morality of our companions and their different paths to travel, every decision matters. Turn-based combat is vibrant, vertical, and challenging, while camp and resource management, as well as the crafting system for new equipment, ensure that time flies. As the only 'but', it would have been appreciated if the battles with the legion were somewhat less predictable. An excellent game for RPG and History lovers. [Recommended]

Windjammers 2 is a simplistic but functional revival of an arcade classic from Neo Geo. Works and it's worth it if you want a simple sequel from the classic from Data East, but the scene of players who still enjoy the classic one deserves more enthusiasm than this.

After the Fall is one of those great titles that justifies buying a virtual reality glasses. [Recommended]

I can not find anything to reproach this port of God of War to PC. The masterpiece that was in 2018 is still valid today. The adaptation of its controls to the keyboard and mouse makes you forget the remote control after a few minutes of play. Thanks to the use of NVIDIA DLSS 2.0, those who have compatible cards can enjoy the title at 4K, 60 images per second, HDR and ultra graphics, having a complete next-generation experience. An essential in any PC library. [Recommended]

A beautiful adventure with some problems you should consider before playing it.

Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo is a good reimagining of the 1958 celluloid classic. Packed with script twists and turns and creating a completely new story on the basis of the original, it can be blamed for at times extending longer than it should by discovering thus its weak points in the plot. Playable is scarce, it could well have the same plot and dialogues taken to the cinema or television and the result would have been the same. Artistically, it hits the ground running because of the modeling of the characters' faces and highly improvable facial animations. A narrative adventure that can please those looking only for a good plot that comes completely dubbed into Spanish.

A decent card game with an interesting story, but it is far from being perfect. It deserved more dedication.

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

With everything explained in this analysis, you get a good idea of what Aeterna Noctis is, a demanding 2D metroidvania, tremendously imaginative in each and every one of its levels and exploration mechanics that perhaps lacks a little more punch in it. separated from combat. However, it is a beautiful work, with an artistic and sound section that seduces from the first minutes. A game that manages to surprise from its beginning to its very end. Aeterna Noctis is the perfect closure for 2021, an essential title for lovers of the genre. [Recommended]

Halo Infinite is an absolute delight of a first person shooter, and king in the sandbox field. The shaping of human, believable characters is something you can take for granted with 343 Industries in charge too. The one thing that's missing here is the courage to do something beyond replicating what best defines this IP —that being imaginative, immersive levels [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.

One of the best shoot’em ups of this season. Great level design, controls and gameplay mechanics [Recommended].

Not the best beat 'em up game you can play but it is still a right choice if you are a big fan of Asterix & Obelix.

MXGP 2021 is an interesting hybrid that combines arcade driving with simulation within a complex sport to reproduce at the controls under the same proposal. However, its physics system is capable of the best and the worst at the same time, with a number of game modes that are stuck in the past. MXGP 2021 needs to take real-time terrain variations more seriously, improve its career mode and make Playground a really attractive offering if it wants to take a step forward as a franchise.

Big Brain Academy is a simple but funny game to test and improve your mind. [Recommended]

Mario Party Superstars is a great collection of some of the best boards and minigames in the series. If you want an enjoyable party game, this is a game that deserves your attention [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]

Inscryption is a card game and more than just a card game. One in which the cards talk, complain and give you clues. No, I don't mean the next move, but clues to solve a larger puzzle that makes up its mysterious story, full of puzzles and meta-narrative uses of video game language. [Recommended].

Echo Generation is a charming RPG, specially if you like TV Series like Stranger Things. However, it is also a bad balanced experience.

Dungeon Encounters is a Final Fantasy meets Etrian Odyssey meets Hero Quest. It´s a good game and an awesome design, but it needs better visuals, presentation and world design.

It could be difficult to make a Guardians of the Galaxy video game, but Eidos Montreal has managed to keep up in terms of playability, music and visuals. One of the greatest Marvel's video games [Recommended].

One could say New World is basic. And it definitely has some weird design choices scattered around progression, economy and world. There’s the graphics card issue too. And yet, something as simple as existing in Aeternum is fun and amazing: loved the aesthetics, the sounds, the animations, the combat, the progression. An experience too appealing to ignore.

An interactive horror film from the creators of Until Dawn. A great plan for Halloween night, trying to discover the mysteries from the hell itself. [Recommended]

Disciples: Liberation is a tactical RPG in which you will have to make many decisions that will lead to different endings. However, and despite being a very complete game in terms of mechanics and details, with a good number of dialogue options, its long duration ends up taking its toll. The overexposure of its mechanics of alliances with the different factions of the game and, above all, the little challenge that its fights end up supplying as soon as you focus on doing something other than its main campaign, weigh down too much the experience of a title that goes from more or less. It would be a total recommendation if they had focused more on creating a tactical challenge to match and less on filling in hours of gameplay in missions that often appear little contextualized for what CRPG lovers demand.

Is this another "love it or hate it" from SWERY? It's possible, but this time it may take a little longer to convince its niche.

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.

A decent update of a memorable classic for SNES. It would have needed a more compelling effort in visual terms, but it is still a good option for retro gamers.

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]

CyberConnect2 makes a good first attempt taking Kimetsu no Yaiba to videogames, but the game has some flaws.

Metroid Dread is a superb demonstration about how to make a 2D action platformer with tons of exploration and backtracking. Definitely, a must for Metroid fans. [Recommended]

Alan Wake Remastered feels like a whole new game. The improvement in textures, shading as well as the new lighting system that inherits from Control will suit you wonderfully. NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0 application on the PC version manages to get the most out of it with 4K resolution and rocky 60 frames per second. The addition of the two downloadable content of the original and that its playable proposal feels as fresh as the first day makes it a more recommendable title whether the original was played or not. [Recommended]

It's not easy to port all the greatness of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot to a Nintendo Switch, but the work from Bandai Namco to make a reality this new games was outstanding. One of the best adventures of Son Goku and his friends in the last years now in the hybrid console of Nintendo. [Recommended]

Diablo 2 returns with a spectacular remake that looks amazing, but feels like the original one. [Recommended]

Death Stranding: Director's Cut changes some of the foundations of the original game. Its new additions soften many of its exploration and combat mechanics, something that some players may be grateful for, but that will create some division within the community. Its extended plot is limited to a small detail that can change the player's perception of some characters, although it is not vital to understand its plot. All in all, it is a version that takes full advantage of the technology of PS5 and expands its content with a good number of activities such as Fragile races, practice in shooting ranges or the missions of Half-Life or Cyberpunk 2077 Whether you choose this version or the 2019 version, Death Stranding is and will be an unforgettable title. [Recommended]

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]

A very decent adaptation for Nintendo Switch of one of the most interesting JRPG you can play in this console. Combat is fun and artistic design is fantastic. It is far from perfect, but it is still an option to consider.

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.

Eastward is not only a great and beautiful homage to classic adventures, but also a fantastic retro-inspired videogame with strong references to Zelda action and puzzles.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an excellent RPG with engaging story, and deep gameplay mechanics and well-written characters.

His exploration of bullying from many angles and the fragility of the laws and the judicial system is an example of courage. [Recommended]

Lost in Random is the adventure that you should play if you want an enjoyable adventure with an absorbing storyline and a very original battle system. [Recommended]

I liked Deathloop, the hours that I have been with him have been entertaining and in no case has it been repetitive despite having to visit some situations with certain recurrence. However, Arkane has been very conservative in a proposal that I think could have given the player a little more freedom. Well cohesive in its mechanics, it is one point below the rest of the studio's games in the last decade in terms of level design, but it is enough to continue to be above the majority. He fails to be outstanding in almost anything he does, including the invasion mode with Julianna, but still a good title worth enjoying. [Recommended]

One of the most refreshing strategy / city builder simulators that have been released during the present year. [Recommended]

True Colors has a tremendous potential but all its new gameplay mechanics aren’t able to provide us a good storytelling.

A fun collection of microgames that adds an interesting story mode and a big roaster of playable characters. If you love the WarioWare series, this is one of the most inventive entries ever made. [Recommended]

A very fun and enjoyable arcade game that makes a very good use of the PSVR capabilities.

Encased is role in its purest form. A science fiction story that captures you from the first minute, original as well as familiar. The construction of his world and background through main missions, secondary missions and characters that you meet during the adventure makes you completely lose track of time when you sit in front of him. More could have been asked of his combat system. However, isometric RPG lovers are in luck. Encased is one of those covered in this year 2021.

RiMS Racing is one of the best choices if you are a motorcycles lover. It's not easy to find a simulator game with so many possibilities and a realistic driving component.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a fun co-op game with a brilliant map and sound design. Cold Iron cleverly spreads the various enemies they have across the campaign, dropping each bomb when it’s needed most; which is good since the game would otherwise feel incredibly stale.

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]

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut offers an expansion that learns some lessons from the original game, betting on a better development of protagonist, antagonist and the conflict that links them to the island of Iki.

If you love a great story with touches of mystery and conversational deduction, The Forgotten City is a very serious option to consider. Its clever storyline and gameplay will catch your attention until the end. [Recommended]

Chernobylite is a very ambitious game, with a narrative approach and an immersive gameplay that recreates the exclusion zone in Chernobyl. It is far from perfect, but if you want to play a different shooter, then you should try it. [Recommended]

A port so good for consoles than you would have to consider trying it even if you are not specially interested on flight simulators. [Recommended]
