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Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is a title that, at the time of its release, could already be considered outdated by market trends.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.

An incredible narrative experience you would like to play one time and another. Disco Elysium The Final Cut is a great RPG, one of the best, and you must play it in PC or console. [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.

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.

eFootball debuts terribly with its new game as service model, but it's not its only problem: lacks of content and lots of technical and visual issues puts the new Pro Evolution Soccer far behind its own legacy. [Not recommended]

Far Cry 6 is the most complete game of the entire franchise. It is almost unfathomable, with an overwhelming amount of content. And yet, the formula feels stale when it urges the reiteration of objectives and visits to enemy camps. [Recommended]

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]

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a celebration of 20 years in the franchise. Tons of levels and minigames, but only recommended for real fans.
