As a visual novel, 428 Shibuya Scramble is ambitious and makes a great combination of five different storylines. It suffers from the limitations of its own genre, such as poor visuals or little interaction.

If you want to play the first 3 Mana games in any place, this collection is for you, even if you only consider to play the fabulous Seiken Densetsu 3, as is the first time is available outside Japan (and translated). But it's far from perfect: only one game is in spanish, there are missing options, and it's very, very expensive.

Mimimi Studios stays true to the genre. Desperados III has some outdated mechanics, and the game progression is based on trial and error, which is something the fans will love, but it can be frustrating for newcomers.

A funny 'retro' shooter filled with a lot of surprises... and fish!

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.

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 Champions' Ballad is far from what we were expecting, especially story-wise, but any excuse is a good one to return to Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. The new shrines are great, and everything that happens at the end make up for any of the not-so-good elements.

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.

A really clever use of VR that makes us feel true horror. Also, a good mix of all the previous games, but the optimization for the DualShock is quite terrible.

Ys IX is a classic action RPG, with great exploration mechanics, an accessible combat system and a beautiful soundtrack. We love the story and new characters, but Nihon Falcom game also shows outdated graphics and some repetitive missions.

It doesn't offer anything new from the PS4 and One ports, but it's still an adventure with a great story and atmosphere.

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.

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.

It delivers exactly what it promises... And that's it. We would expect more game modes and variety in a "mega mix edition". Anyway, if you just want to see Miku dancing in every possible fashion, you'll be satisfied.

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.

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.

A worthy sequel for the series, but maybe too similar to the previous one. It offers some interesting puzzles and gags, though.

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.

If you eve though that "Max Payne, but in 2D" would be great... Turns out you were right. My Friend Pedro is just that: a ridiculously stylish shooter with the right amount of absurdity to keep you engaged until the end.

A fun music game, which also includes lots of multiplayer minigames (versus and coop), but sadly the basic edition doesn´t include the taiko accessory, and motion sensing with joy-con doesn´t work so well.

An astonishing, relaxing and beautifully crafted experience. It's not as thrilling as it pretends, but is able to link us with the ocean the same way Journey linked us with total strangers.

XCOM 2 is one of the best turn-based tactical strategy games. It has a deep game system, the design is very good and it has a great sound. However, the switch to Nintendo Switch is not as good as it should be. It has a lot of bugs and graphic clippings, but if you want a strategy game in Switch, it's one of the best.

Without revolutionizing the genre, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story does everything it sets out to do very well. In this way, it will satisfy both MOBA fans and those looking for a complete and content-laden turn-based RPG.

Minecraft: The Story mode is a curious adventure, with touches of fun, that visually looks and feels like the original. It's perfect for kids and fans of Minecraft.

A good retro collection that features the first Mega Man games with some extras.

No big news for Egypt. This DLC doesn't offer any new mechanics or gameplay surprises. Anyway, the story and cut-scenes are good enough to make us admire Bayek even more.

A fun (but very short) metroidvania -like experiencie, now on PS4 and PS Vita.

Hotshot Racing brings back memories from Virtua Racing and Ridge Racer. It´s a fast arcade, with a very interesting graphic approach and classic music, but it falls short on game modes, cars and circuits.

Aimed at the most diehard fans of the JRPG, Trails of Cold Steel offers extensive experience, but chaotic at first sight.

You'll like Dishonored Definitive Edition if you didn't play the original. It contains all the DLC and its story and mechanics are outstanding. But if you played Dishonored in 2012, you could end up disappointed.

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.

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.

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.

A good pick-up-and-play game, but it gets old very fast.

An enhanced port of the PS3 role-playing game, the first entry of the Dusk trilogy and an affordable chance to initiate ourselves in this world.

It's a simple and fun online game with such a great VR integration, but its current low population makes it hard to recommend.

Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia it's not a game for everybody. If you're a pro on tactical and strategy RPG, you'll likely love it, even knowing if it's a harsh game when you are entering in it, it won't help you in your first play and that some decisions will, probably, make you scratch your head.

Faithful conversion of a game that hasn't old one bit. There's not much new to see and we've had some problems with the online mode, but it's so freaking fun that it's impossible not to recommend Windjammers to anyone who just wants to have a good time.

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?

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.

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.

Mortal Shell is a great debut for Cold Symmetry, but it's not a perfect game. It has awesome ideas with the shells, but it is also an opaque world with no clear story.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a small taste of the main dish. It's short and experimental, yes, but it's also free, and the decisions and actions made here will carry over into Life is Strange 2, so any Dontnod fan shouldn't miss this little story.

Pokémon Sword and Shield The Crown Tundra it's a finish line in Pokémon eighth generation, but also a sad and limited one. Mostly because nothing makes really difference, although the challenges makes us curious it really doesn't enough.

A step in the right direction for the franchise. A good mixture of classical gameplay and clever innovations. On the down side, the frame rate is awfully inconsistent and we miss some customizing options.

Bugsnax in a narrative adventure with some interesting ideas, an unforgettable cast of characters, lovely designs and a great script... that fails as a showcase of PS5 technical power, with come trial and error loop in its gameplay that can be frustrating at times.

The Room VR is the new entry in the veteran series, a puzzle game that shines in VR with a collection of surprising puzzles with some impressive situations, that in the end feels very, very short (a couple of hours, little more if you get stuck) that feels even worse given its actual price...

This nostalgic RPG suffers from an uninspired storyline, and poor technical aspects, such as frame rate drops. It´s too easy (even when battling final bosses) and the only Switch exclusive feature is online pvp mode.

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.

Samurai Warriors 5 is a competent and conventional musou. Forgetting the experiments of Dynasty Warriors 9, it is business as usual, with some new interesting but not revolutionary actions. It has plenty of characters and weapons to keep you grinding to infinity. The gameplay is simple and repetitive, but you probably already knew that by now.

A good puzzle and adventure game that doesn't bring anything new, but it's plain fun.

Batman Arkham VR is one of the most intense VR experiences out there, even if it's shorter than other titles, It's a "detective mode" experience, so you probably will miss some other areas, like combat or exploration, but... what it does, it does really, really well.

MindSeize is a modest game, both in aspirations and budget, and you can feel it in the execution. The plot and scenes are bland, a very well known gameplay circle that don't surprise... A game that moves in a well known terrain and don't risk a little... but can entertain you if classic 2D metroidvania is your thing.

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.

Magic Twins is quite an original puzzle game to enjoy in co-op mode with another player (local only), mixing elements from games like Puzzle Bubble or Plants vs. Zombies, in varied levels that balance action and reflexes with strategy. However, the difficulty is often frustrating, specially if you try to play it solo.

Castlevania Requiem is just a port of the unlockable Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood from The Dracula X Chronicles. That said, this are two of the best Castlevania titles, which also means two of the best games ever made.

Clustertruck debuts on Switch retaining the "pure platform" vibe from the PC version, with the core mechanics working like a charm in portable mode. The "jump over trucks" seems silly at first, but all the variations make it interesting till the end. It's a shame that, as in other console versions, the leaderboards and level editor are missing.

This Samurai Warriors spin-off feels outdated in many aspects, but it is fun to play and offers deep strategic options for a "musou" game.

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.

It keeps all the ingredients of the original game while updating them to create a more complete, spectacular sequel. Even so, we miss more content and a more forgiving enemy AI. Go for the multiplayer, that's where the real fun in.

This is the fifth musou game we received this year (after Berserk, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Warriors All Stars and Samurai Warriors Spirit of Sanada) and still we enjoyed its massive combat and RPG elements. Technical elements fall short compared to most Switch games.

Bethesda expands the Fallout 4 with a consistent robot creation system but the story is weak, the content offered is little and the robot creation could have been much bigger and more ambitious, especially talking about the robot AI behaviour.

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.

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.

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.

It repeats the typical mistake of other DLCs from the franchise (repeating the mechanics of the main game with a coat of paint), but its simple, focused story is well developed.

Although it brings back some of the elements that made isometric adventures so popular in the 80s, Lumo fails to deliver a solid experience due its bugs and an irregular pacing.

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.

Wild Run adds interesting disciplines to The Crew and it will bring a lot of content in the long term because of The Summit events, but the price is really high.

A good arcade game with imaginative levels and a retro looking.

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.

Haemimont Games delivers a Sci Fi RTS that is deep and original. But Surviving Mars is tough on the control side (at least console version) and we miss some more variety.

It's good to see a sandbox oriented VR game. It offers some unique sensations although it feels shallow in the graphical and variety departments.

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.

Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY! is an excellent proposal for the fans of the Final Fantasy saga that, although it does not revolutionize at all, fulfills sufficiency in the purpose of entertaining.

A difficult game only suitable for veteran players. One of the most challenging JRPG comes, finally, to Europe.

A beautiful fighting game that falls short in number of characters and game modes. Gamepad configuration and tabletop controls need improvement.

A good collection of mental agility tests, with which to put in shape the different areas of our brain. Regarding the games that came out on Nintendo DS, Wii and Wii U, it incorporates multiplayer modes, both local (4 players in TV mode and 2 in portable mode) and online against "ghosts" of other players.

Fans of Digimon and the first Cyber Sleuth will surely love Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory, where the digital monsters are the undisputed stars of the film. On the bad side, it's almost exactly like the original game (some locations are the same, and even the soundtrack is reused), and for an JRPG it's pretty average.

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.

It lacks relevant new features in the gameplay department, but the story and the new characters are engaging.

Headmaster scores a funny goal in PlayStation VR with its original (but simple) concept, well-designed challenges and its particular sense of humour.

A MMORPG with an interesting approach but a pretty conventional execution. If you are fan of spells, magic creatures and broomstick flights, Citadel: Forged With Fire is the invitation letter to a magic world you've been waiting for.

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.

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.

Namco Museum brings back pixel perfect emulation of some classic arcades, such as Galaga, Pac-Man or Splatterhouse. It also includes Pac-Man Vs. four player asymmetric game, but t lacks of extra content and there are too few games available.

NBA Live is a great first step in recovering the right way, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the level of the NBA 2K franchise.

It may look childish, but it's a challenging and tough platformer. Put the blame on its tricky control scheme.

A game with a lot of personality and charm... but far too simple in every other aspect, especially when compared with the best examples of the metroidvania genre. Nevertheless, Gato Roboto is pretty fun, and few games let you become the more powerful cat in the entire universe (none, really).

We're not sure if it will be remembered as a huge disaster or as a cult classic. But we're sure of one thing: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is pure and absolute chaos.

Visual novel that preserves the essence of the series but in playable level could have given more of itself. Only for fans.

Apex Construct is a first person adventure which makes great use of bow and arrow mechanics, and feels truly immersive in VR, but we found some control problems due to the unusual rotation system, based in a combination of pressing buttons and movement control.

Mail Mole is a 3D platform game that plays a lot like Super Mario 3D World... perhaps too much. Still, it has a good collection of rich levels, and a simple but likeable style. If you want to beat every mark, it is a considerable challenge.

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.

Guardians of the Galaxy of Telltale Games begins shy of top form, but with potential to recover in the subsequent episodes. Its good narrative and a universe full of possibilities give us hope to believe that it will. At the graphical level, it needs a good revision.

It's flaws make it so it doesn't stand on the same ground as the games it takes inspiration from, but the oppressive setting and the possession mechanic make Silt a great option for those who love this kind of surrealist games.

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.

It's a logical way to focus a VR experience, but the game can't help feeling as a "second class" in the technical department as well as in its gameplay.
