Aphelion isn't a disaster and can even be enjoyable, but it fails to be a memorable space odyssey. While its premise and script keep the game afloat, the repetitive and simplistic gameplay mechanics and unstable technical performance constantly hinder the adventure's progression.

As a remaster, Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is, quite simply, adequate. It’s nice to revisit this classic RPG, but the lack of technical or content updates and the absence of a Spanish translation make it somewhat less appealing.

I am well aware that I am settling for scraps—that this could have been done a thousand times better, and that the *Legacy of Kain* saga deserves so much more... but I’m going to choose to believe that this is merely a new step toward a future where we’ll finally get a new installment done right.

Although there are some hidden gems to be found here, this compilation is uneven, with some truly mediocre games and lack of options. If you are a Marvel or retro fan, you will truly enjoy port of what this has to offer.

Icarus: Console Edition isn’t the best console port you’ll come across, but if you’re willing to overlook the technical shortcomings, you’ll find a massive survival game that’s a bit different and eye-catching, and which holds its own against the genre’s top titles.

Despite its good ideas, which it does have, and technical improvements over previous installments, Gear.Club Unlimited 3 loses steam in practically every aspect. And that's a shame.

God of War Sons of Sparta is a Metroidvania prequel that is neither the best in its series nor the best in its genre, but it offers a story that serves to reveal a lesser-known and more humble side of Kratos. It commits no cardinal sins and is enjoyable, but bearing the God of War name, it could have offered much more.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is one of the worst games in the series. A disastrous, soulless campaign highlights the poor practices that have plagued the series in recent years. Only the multiplayer mode (with its drawbacks) prevents this instalment from being a complete disaster.

Tales of Xillia Remastered is an ideal game for newcomers to the series and one of its standout entries. The remaster does little more than meet the basics, but it preserves the addictive gameplay, its innovative combat system, and a story that leaves a lasting impression.

We sincerely expected a disastrous game, but Double Dragon Revive is an OK-ish beat 'em up with some fresh ideas for the franchise. It's outdated and can't compete with the titans of the genre, but you'll have a good time if you are a veteran of the adventures of the Lee brothers.

Keeper is original, technically polished, and offers an engaging, organic narrative. The problem is that coming from Double Fine doesn’t spare it from competing with a multitude of other acclaimed indie titles. It’s clearly a deeply personal project, but that very quality might be what causes it to fly under the radar.

If you see this game as an "auteur" piece you might enjoy it, but its roguelite formula is too clunky and hostile to be enjoyed by the mass market.

Metal Eden is a relentless first-person shooter, defined by the versatility of its protagonist, turning every skirmish into a showcase of skill. Though its length is brief and its visuals are not AAA-level, it manages to shine thanks to its gameplay and an engaging story.

Mafia: The Old Country offers a remarkable narrative and atmospheric mob drama, hampered by uneven technical skills. While its gameplay is a bit simplistic, it should satisfy those looking for a straightforward, fast-paced, and enjoyable game.

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game is quite simple as a social simulator, because of its simple mechanics and its monotonous gameplay loop, but it gets to make you feel like a hobbit, with your heart lying in peace and quiet and good tilled earth.

RoboCop: Rogue City Unfinished Business feels as fun as the first game by offering interesting additions that reinforce the affection for the 1980s cyborg cop. However, the feeling of repetition and lack of variety persists despite the new features. In addition, its technical flaws and bugs weigh down the final result more than necessary.

We really love Slocap's unique concepto of football, one that's truly different to the usual FIFAs and Pros. When the matches "connect", they really are irresistible, but the game desperately needs more options and modes, and a more solid online performance.

FBC Firebreak is a multiplayer game with good ideas and a great atmosphere that brings the Control universe back. Although it could bring more content, what it offers refreshes the cooperative genre with friends. It's not your typical first person shooter, thankfully.

If you enjoy grand strategy games and are passionate about the Sengoku period, Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening has exactly what you're looking for. Plus, the Switch 2 version controls wonderfully thanks to the mouse mode. Keep in mind, though, that this title has a very high learning curve and, unfortunately, is only available in English.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is the best version of the cult classic shooter, but this remastered version offers a remastering job that falls short. You'll enjoy it if you've never played it, but if you did back in the day, there's little here to tempt you back to the title.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma manages to make the sum of its parts evolve a saga with several palpable problems. Some of these obstacles are still there, but anyone who wants a management and combat game with content has here a worthy representative... As long as you can overlook its deficient technical section.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour takes full advantage of the features and improvements of the new console, but the curious and particular didactic work of its proposal is hidden behind a payment barrier that goes against the intention of the game itself. You shouldn't have to pay to get to know your console.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma manages to make the sum of its parts evolve a saga with several palpable problems. Some of these obstacles are still there, but anyone who wants a management and combat game with content has here a worthy representative... As long as you can overlook its deficient technical section.

The Siege and the Sandfox is a unique combination of metroidvania and stealth, boasting some great ideas, but the poor execution of several of its elements results in a rather gritty mix.

Its setting and story will suffice to attract you, although it's not a major competitor in terms of gameplay or technical power.

It's a shame that The Precinct ends up being an uneven title, perhaps due to some archaic systems, its predictable story, and its repetitive gameplay loop, because there was potential for so much more here. Still, fans of the GTA formula can find something to entertain them for a few hours, as long as they don't expect anything on the level of Rockstar.

MotoGP 25 continues to offer (as in past installments) an ideal driving experience for any motorcycling lover, but neither its new modes, nor its apparent technical leap manage to improve the line of a saga that has been too long anchored in continuity.

An interesting but uneven mix of classics. There are some tiny jewels in here, but other games make little sense. Including two of them only in Japanese is a really lazy move.

Star Overdrive follows the creative path of the last two Zelda games and adds a hoverboard to the formula to make it even more interesting. It has some design decisions that undermine the overall experience, but that doesn't mean skating around this alien-planet-shaped skatepark isn't really fun.

Despite its limitations, AI Limit excels at what matters, which is why it's been a pleasant surprise. Obviously, it's not the best soulslike game in the world, nor the most innovative, but it doesn't need to to be as enjoyable as any other.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls knows how to be spectacular without neglecting to offer a certain amount of gameplay complexity, something most 3D fighting games based on a manga/anime can't boast. But, unfortunately, the rest of the game is not up to par, and it doesn't manage to achieve the Bankai.

Eternal Strands establishes itself as a daring opera prima whose result is as interesting as it is uneven. The potion achieved by bringing together Dragon Age, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Shadow of the Colossus manages to attract attention, although there are aspects that could have been developed further.

We love the ideas this game offers, but we feel like the final product is half baked. We need more interesting missions and the overall look and feel seems to be from the previous generation. It is entertaining, but don't expect much more than that.

Although it still suffers from the language problem, Fairy Tail 2 improves greatly compared to its previous installment, offering us a new combat system and graphic quality that will undoubtedly excite anime lovers.

Fitness Boxing 3 is a good addition for those who want to exercise with their console and add more routines, apart from going to the gym. It is more complete and varied than the previous installment, although it still has aspects that could be improved, starting with the lack of some options (variety of scenarios) or a tacky soundtrack full of MIDI covers.

Even with some technical hiccups and bugs, this is a respectful look into the past, full with memorable characters. Ideal for veterans from the original game and for those little players that want to start playing adventure games.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is an unpretentious adventure that both kids and fans of the series will enjoy. However, its approach falls short of the depth and variety of many other LEGO games, making it clear that it could have done a little more.

Clock Tower: Rewind faithfully recreates the original title… perhaps too faithfully, but that doesn't mean that it's not a fundamental piece to understand current survival horror.

The “perfect storm” of talent, fun, and a competitive price makes up for the fact that Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is an imperfect, unpretentious remaster. Despite everything, it offers the ideal opportunity to revisit this gem from two generations ago.

Snowy in Carbonpolis is an adventure superior to Me and the Professor on Summer, although it still has problems, from an extreme simplicity to a somewhat slow and monotonous gameplay. But if you love the crazy universe created by Yoshito Usui, and you like Japanese culture, you have many chances to fall in love with it.

Mixed feelings for an adventure that has flashes of brilliance, but fails to live up to expectations in the technical aspects and in some aspects of gameplay. If you are a big fan of the genre, you can give it a chance and maybe some aspects will surprise you.

It shows good intentions and is visually pleasant, but it offers almost nothing new to enjoy. It could have gone a longer way, but we see it as a wasted opportunity.

It's always a pleasure to come back to MK1, but the story and fights of this expansion feel a bit shallow. Anyway, we can't wait to fight with those future guest characters.

Pneumata combines gameplay from modern Resident Evil and the Outlast series, and fans of both games will appreciate the author's good intentions. But a number of shortcomings and design flaws make it difficult to recommend.

We're glad that Test Drive Unlimited is back, but right now what we have in hand feels more like an unfinished product than a new installment in a veteran driving saga. Hopefully the updates will be able to lift the Solar Crown competition to the podium it deserves.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions takes the key elements of the wizarding sport and successfully adapts them into an entertaining, agile and tremendously fun video game. It lacks incentives to last over time, but the playable core is so good that it is difficult to resist playing another game.

Concord presents great gameplay as a first person shooter while taking us back to simpler times with a traditional progression system. Unfortunately, its lack of personality means that it fails to capture the attention it should in a genre where there are already too many games.

Eden Genesis wants us to become no-hitters speedrunners, but the controls are not as precise and satisfactory as a game of these characteristics demands. Even so, lovers of great challenges and trying a thousand times until reaching perfection have a new pool of hours here.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is not a must-have remaster, but it is a work that manages to sufficiently improve a classic action adventure. The new controls and minor improvements do a good job, although the visuals and gameplay fixes could have done with a little more work.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is the greatest graphic marvel that can be found on consoles, but when it comes to playability it doesn't measure up and even falls short of the first. Yes, its "great graphics" are going to leave you with your jaw on the floor from start to finish... It's a shame that the same can't be said about other sections.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs successfully manages to give a new twist to the classic Pac-Man gameplay formula, with ideas like invading the mazes of other players, making it a fresh experience. The problem is that it severely lacks content and without offline modes, the party will be probably shorter than expected for most players.

The Nintendo Switch version of Biomutant is a great adaptation that, even with its cuts, faithfully reproduces the experience of the rest of the platforms. It's a shame that this experience still is uneven in all sections.

MotoGP 24 left me feeling the same as MotoGP 23. This new installment still generates the same genuine enjoyment at the controls thanks to its polished gameplay, but its new features feel superficial and even a bit lazy. There's hardly any innovation beyond small additions. Why change bikes if everything feels the same?

A nice and little metroidvania that might not stand out as one of the best in the genre, but we will treasure it for it's powerful messages and deep themes.

Final Fantasy XVI says goodbye with The Rising Tide, a new dose of spectacle that will surely please those who loved the sixteenth entry, but which falls short of the expectations.

Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection brings back two milestones from Star Wars video game history, and it's great to have them available on all consoles. Whether you get a lot of value and fun from them beyond nostalgia and fan service is a different question: the lack of crossplay and weak online play limit their long-term potential.

Contra: Operation Galuga successfully recreates the original game released in 1987 and takes the spectacle to a new level, but a series of issues (slow and imprecise controls, mainly) make the experience very frustrating.

Skull and Bones is not an absolute disaster, but it ends up throwing all its potential away. Its problem isn't that it's a game as a service, but that on a general level it's not structured well. It has standout moments and good ideas that make it enjoyable, but if this is AAAA, then let Davy Jones drag us all into the abyss.

Echoes of the Fallen is another dose of more Final Fantasy XVI. It's not a game changer and it's very short, but if you liked the main game, here you will find an extra chapter with the same level of spectacle and epicness.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince has a deep combat and monster breeding system that can be addictive if you are willing to overlook the very low quality of nearly everythin else: graphics, sound, story, game loop... Only recommended for those looking for an alternative to Pokémon.

Born of Bread is a perfectly baked RPG, fun and enjoyable from beginning to end. And even if it's not a milestone for the genre, who can resist a good loaf just out of the oven?

The combined chakra of the impressive cast of playable characters can't hide that the story modes in Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections are vey lackluster, falling far from being the ultimate game in the Storm series.

A game as legendary as Flashback deserves a better sequel than this one. Yes, it has some good ideas and shows passion for science-fiction, but it delivers a poor technical optimization and a lackluster game design.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a game made from other games, a hybrid that seeks to convince the most veteran fans with a fantastic multiplayer. However, neither the homages, nor the "innovations" of the campaign and the zombies manage to disguise the obvious. This game is nothing more than a wild recycling of ideas made in haste.

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is a solid expansion that reminds us why this game was one of the best of 2021. However, the lack of playable novelties and a marked continuity may disappoint those looking for something new. Its story is remarkable, but we're still missing the refreshing factor that the base game presented.

The Invincible is a walking simulator that, starting from a good story, fails to adapt it to a video game in a satisfactory way. It's a slow game, with accessory and sometimes unnecessary mechanics that at times feels more like a visual novel with playable "globs". And it's a shame, because there was potential in its atmosphere.

It's by no means the shooter of the year, but it offers a "je ne sais quoi", a warm feeling of nostalgia that will please the fans of those bombastic 80s movies.

Gargoyles Remastered is a decent enough remaster of a Sega Genesis classic (unreleased in Europe) that goes beyond the typical Disney Classic by updating graphics and sound... but nothing else: the gameplay is as rough as it was in 1995, and without extras or art galleries, the whole package feels very lackluster.

If you're looking for a strong challenge, you won't find any in here, but if you have toddlers at home or you just want to dive in Pokemon world without major headaches, this game will please you as much as a nice cup of coffee.

If you ever dreamed with a game adaptation of "The Adventures of Fly", Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai might scratch that itch... But don't go expecting something with the same level of quality and magic of a true Dragon Quest game.

It offers hi-octane moments and its proposal is undoubtly attractive, but it's also crammed with bugs and some graphics that seem to come directly from the PS3-360 era.

Even though performance problems were very annoying, we had a good time returning to the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with The teal mask. It's a good expansion; maybe not great, but it's fun and leave us with the promise that the best is yet to come.

It improves the previous game in some aspects, but it is not free from a certain imbalance and chaos. Even so, it is a fun proposal with a lot of multiplayer potential.

It lacks some polish on the technical side, but if you love exploration and aren't afraid of one big "water level", Under the Waves is like a treasure hidden in the deep.

The core gameplay is good and we love the atmosphere, but the lack of content and some technical hiccups are a burden for the experience.

As a remaster, it's a 10/10 for Nightdive, a team that has delivered a great package. The game itself suffers from severely uneven difficulty and a excessively wacky level design, but ROTT shows an undeniable charm as a 90s over the top shooter.

Operation Wolf Returns is not the update of the classic formula that many of us were hoping for, and between being a short game and rather generic as a virtual reality action game, it doesn't take the opportunity to bring back a well-remembered license from the 80s.

Everybody 1-2 Switch! repeats as a game that you will take out to liven up parties and meetings, and although it lacks modes and options (you can't skip the instructions of each minigame) and its 17 games are simpler and not all equally inspired, its ability to entertain everyone equally and its games for 100 players remains as its main asset.

Time will tell if this is a game you should buy. For now, it really is a fun, easy-to-pick game, but its lack of content may discourage many players.

Although it is the most irregular of the three games, Pixel Ripped 1978 has some special moments that, thanks to virtual reality, are even more impressive. Final bosses, working in the Atari offices, switching between different realities... these are moments you will remember.

Park Beyond is a good theme park management simulation, deeper than it seems, but with a differentiating factor (impossible fantasy rides) that doesn't makes up for the scarcity of roller coaster and ride models available.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a game commendable for Daedalic's effort to tell a wholly original story in Middle-earth by mixing stealth and platforming mechanics, but it falls apart on almost all sides: imprecise controls, terrible AI, bland narrative , outdated level design and graphics from another generation.

LEGO 2K Drive has many good things: a story mode, mini-games, online mode for up to 6 friends... but many of these virtues are soiled by a micropayment system reminiscent of NBA 2K, and that makes you have to go through the cashier to unlock some content. Something questionable, in a game so oriented to children.

A good example of a game that would have needed a thorough review to reduce its true quality. Some ingredients are fine, but the whole thing falls short of what one would expect from a "space" adventure like this. It's not terrible, but it is forgettable, unfortunately.

The game keeps its lovely charm and a huge and ambitious setting, but not all the game mechanics hold a candle to today's standards. The visual improvements are pretty poor and the even worsened some aspects like the frame rate. Nonetheless, it's an interesting experience for any JRPG fan.

Wanted: Dead promised a violent action game, with a badass style and unexpected mechanics, but instead we've found a frustrating experience that rarely had any fun. We cannot recommend it.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is an action game "like the old ones", exactly like the ones from the PS2 era, and it shows in every aspect, from the graphics to the control. It's a throwback game that will find its audience thanks to its own cham and ability to entertain. If the Gungrave series is your thing, you'll enjoy it. The rest, maybe not so much.

Pentiment is a graphic adventure like no other. We love the medieval setting and writing, but it is slow paced and not every player will enjoy its simple mechanics based on dialogues.

The first Brass Token game is set in an interesting psychedelic horror universe, inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man, Midsommar or Apostle. We enjoyed the story, characters and some undeveloped ideas, but most mechanics feel outdated.

We love the characters and the sense of humor in Tales of the Borderlands, but decision making, QTE and exploration sequences don´t live up to the story.

It seems a fresh Dragon Ball game, a new genre that hadn't been explored in the franchise before. The fact of using characters like Bulma and Oolong is a dream come true for fans, but after some gameplay the game turns into something monotonous, with lack of content and problems from the BETA that haven't been solved.

The Last Oricru might not have the most elaborate dialogue system, but compensates with a unique setting, a great story and choices that matter. It's a shame the combat system is so bland and falls behind any other soulslike out there... Although at least does it's job.

We like the idea of going back to classic RPG such as A Link To The Past, and pixelart is great. But the game has some control and design issues.

It's a shame there are so many underutilized elements, because Valkyrie Elysium has all the tools to reach Valhalla. Even then, if you like action RPGs and nordic mythology, you're going to love the gameplay thanks to a really great combat system.

A solid game with good intentions, but a far cry from the biggest games in the genre. As an appetizer is ok, but the most hardcore hack and slash fans will probably prefer to wait for Bayonetta 3... or boot up Devil May Cry 5 one more time.

Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation delivers on its promise of making us feel like children through the carefree eyes of Shinnosuke, using the sense of humor of the anime, which will please the fans. But the extremely slow pacing and limited gameplay (it feels like a graphic novel) won't be for everyone.

Arcade Paradise is neither a great managing game, nor a a great minigame compilation, but the combination of both gameplay styles work well. We enjoyed its setting in the eighties, and the feeling of growing our own arcade empire. Some elements get repetitive after two or three days.

It emulates really well how you feel in a real tennis experience, so you won't be disappointed if you love this sport. Unfortunately, the graphics feel terribly outdated and Career mode becomes repetitive eventually.
