    Marathon is an addictive extraction shooter with the unmistakable hallmark of Bungie. Its hostile map Tau Ceti IV offers great tension and survival, standing out for its colorful aesthetic and an accessible learning curve. Although the on-screen interface is overwhelming and gives the feeling that it could have launched more polished, its solid endgame content makes up for the experience.

    Persona 3 Portable is a simple but livelier version of the original PS2 game. It has enough additions to immerse us in its twisted world of shadows. Highlights the choice of the female protagonist as a playable character offers a different point of view. She may be more to the point, but she's still Persona.

    GrimGrimoire OnceMore immerses us in a magical combined world of strategy and tower defense. The story is captivating because for its twists thanks to the interpretations of the actors behind the characters. The battle system can be overwhelming but we can master it with patience. It has the usual additions of the remasters that make it a more acceptable game.

    SpellForce 3 Reinforced has a very special mix of genres. It surrounds us in a world of medieval fantasy to control an army. The controls are well adapted although it took some getting used to.

    In Live A Live we have 8 different stories, each one with its peculiarities, which makes it an experimental but successful RPG. RPG lovers should give it a try so they don't miss out on that part of video game history.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages reinvents the classic FPS with a medieval twist that shifts the pace without losing the franchise’s brutal essence. While its gameplay demands some adjustment and the visuals aren't particularly impressive compared to previous entries, it runs smoothly on PC and its narrative piques curiosity. It’s a bold gamble that, without breaking the legacy, deliberately strays from the traditional formula.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a horror title that surprises us by offering us two aspects, being survivors or evil incarnate. We have several characters with different abilities and we must know how to cooperate to close the gates of hell. We can play it in co-op mode or enjoy customizable local matches.

    Rise of the Ronin takes the right step by offering us an open world along with the Soulslike gameplay that Team Ninja has been implementing in their recent games. It is not an Assassin's Creed since the game points in another direction, but we will have a world full of activities and a fun but challenging combat system. Graphically it is not wonderful but it has enough details that make it look good.

    Salt and Sacrifice is the sequel that tries to be better than its predecessor but doesn't quite succeed. It is still a challenging game that mixes two genres like Soulslike and Metroidvania, without leaving aside its desire to resemble Monster Hunter.

    Arc Raiders stands out for its remarkable optimization and stunning visuals, delivering a highly entertaining and visually striking co-op experience. While some mechanics still need fine-tuning, the game shows great potential and could become one of the best extraction shooters if it manages to stay fresh over time. Embark Studios presents an ambitious project here—one that perfectly balances action, humor, and just the right amount of challenge.

    Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, while sitting between a remaster and a remake, remains a challenging and enjoyable game with enhanced visuals, new adjustments, and additional content. These changes eliminate most of the issues that frustrated fans of the Sigma version, making this possibly the best edition of the game to date.

    Operation Galuga brings with it everything a Contra fan needs, without incurring risks or radical changes that could ruin its essence. The game is entertaining to have a good time with friends thanks to the local multiplayer option.

    This game is more than a remaster of a franchise that audiences fell in love with. Between the graphical overhaul, new content, and some juicy extras, it's still a timeless game.

    Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a title that becomes interesting the more you play it. It improved a lot compared to Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness, with better plot development, mechanics and the most important (it is fun). Although it has some minor problems, it is a good RPG game for fans of the series and those who want to get started in it.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is an excellent opportunity for fans of this type of genre. We will have a game that will take us back to that golden age of JRPGs with 3D environments and sprite characters. Although it is a game from 10 years ago, we can still enjoy it in the same way.

    This War of Mine: Final Cut is not the survival game that we know. It is a game that teaches the brutal part of wars, history and its mechanics. As a console edition it is impressive with additional graphics work and new stories; the controls can be a little tricky, though it is highly enjoyable.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree once again brings us all the fun that fans of the franchise are used to. It has 9 game modes and more than 100 minigames, including classics, clever ones and new additions that will keep us busy a long time. Not all the content is perfect, but the game is one of the best at entertaining.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt turns us into vampires to show us the pros and cons. The formula of this Battle Royale offers a different proposal to what we know. The fights through the streets and rooftops of Prague will be part of the appeal of the game.

    Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden maintains the same basics of the first games and improved in other aspects. Obviously, it's still a game focused on story and narrative, and that female narrator's voice is a touch that fits the game's setting. The combat is somewhat repetitive. If you liked the first two games or are a fan of RPGs in general, you can give it a try.

    Final Fantasy XVI has reinvented the role-playing formula, focusing more on the action genre. These new mechanics really work and we will have a game full of adrenaline and paraphernalia. However, more traditional fans will miss options that have been in the series forever. The graphics will take your breath away, and the soundtrack is masterful.

    Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is a direct action RPG that offers interesting mechanics to the Ys formula. It will delight fans of the series and even lovers of the action genre. Although graphically it is not up to the current generation, it is still a good title that will give us several hours of fun.

    Return to Monkey Island is a love letter to fans of the franchise. The game makes us enjoy fun situations and at the same time makes us solve puzzles without any hint. The style is a bit different and many fans of the game will not like it at the beginning but it deserves the opportunity.

    Deathloop is the conjugation of everything Arkane Lyon has learned over the years with more polished mechanics. It is not the perfect game but it is very different from the many FPS proposals on the market. Any player can give it a try to see if they can break the loop.

    In a “Diabolic” tone, V Rising takes us on a hunt for demons, undead and mythological beasts; in a world where vampires don't control everything. Hiding from the sun has never been so fun in this survival adventure where we are promised long hours of play.

    A collection of two games that were previously exclusive to Nintendo are now coming to modern consoles with visual improvements. We will have a good number of hours with the DNA of Monster Hunter mixed with the RPG genre. However, it feels like a brief collection that does not offer anything beyond the visual.

    Disgaea 6 Complete is a worthy sequel to the series but lacks important mechanics that fans are going to miss. It is extremely entertaining and will keep you going for hours climbing stratospheric levels.

    Crusader Kings III: Console Edition is another excellent port. The game expresses strategy in the best way and carries it in its own veins, it can be complex due to its nature but the best of all is that every match is different.

    Once Upon a Katamari brings back everything fans love about the series while polishing a few gameplay elements along the way. It keeps its trademark quirky humor, chaotic mechanics, and delightfully weird story intact. It’s not a reinvention of the formula, but it’s still a joy to play from start to finish.

    CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a demanding and challenging game for its genre that will hook us from the first moment. It has a unique gameplay and customization options. It does not reinvent the genre but it is quite replayable.

    WWE 2K23 feels pretty good with at least the two modes available to try. Slingshot technology makes the experience totally different. WarGames mode gives the game quite a fresh air where players can enjoy the challenges either single player or multiplayer. The graphics have been improved compared to the previous ones and we finally have a good optimization, better times when loading the screen without leaving aside an improved mechanic that makes us enjoy every wrestler.
