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.

A game of contrasts. If you look at it as a tribute to the Uderzo and Goscinny comics, it has a lot of charm; If you look at it as beat'em up, it looks like a Gaul who forgot to drink the magic potion before messing with a Roman.

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.

Disney Magical World 2 remaster for Nintendo Switch it's a very recommendable game for the youngster Disney fans out there (and the ones not used to videogames) who wanted to play something like "Animal Crossing", but more approachable since the first minute.

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

We enjoyed exploration, puzzles and platforming in The Gunk. Image & Form Games delivers an interesting adventure set in a beautiful planet, which feels undeveloped in other aspects such as combat or equipment improvements.

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.

This Samurai Warriors spin-off feels outdated in many aspects, but it is fun to play and offers deep strategic options for a "musou" game.

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 We love the story and new characters, but Nihon Falcom game also shows outdated graphics and some repetitive missions.

Another Data East classic (from 1991) that arrives to Nintendo Switch with a pixel perfect port, fun to play and easy to share, even it it feels short (15-20 minutes to complete). A good port, even if we miss more options and extras in the emulation (like the ability to play with the arcade DIP switches).

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.

It's a beautiful looking game and has some bright ideas, but the pace and lackluster variety of the combat shrink the fun factor.

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.

The overall experience is convincing and terrifying, but the underwhelming performance of the Switch 2 version burdens the appeal. If you like crafting and survival and are not afraid of gigantic spiders, you can give it a try.

A bit superior to the previous iteration and spectacular without a doubt, it still is too basic compared to the 'big bosses' of the genre.

The idea of the game is great. However, it needs more maps, vehicles and game modes.

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

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.

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.

An interesting mix of genres (rogue-lite, twin shooter, RPG...), that shines with its atmosphere and exploration bits, but that results a little bit plain in the way the action unfolds. It doesn't help some design choices, like the repetition of the whole level if we die... but if you like Lovecraft, it can hook you.

A correct game that, without excel in any aspect, can provide many hours of fun to fans of space simulators and sci-fi if they are seeking an adventure without complications.

Valkyria Revolution offers a new combat system (instead of the classic turn based system) that doesn´t work well. Levels are too similar and the secondary missions become boring.

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.

The best game in the Assassin's Creed Chronicles series. More stealth and a great atmosphere to end the trilogy.

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.

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.

It keeps the essence of The Escapists but adapted to the world of The Walking Dead. Of course, sometimes The Escapists: The Walking Dead can give you a déjà vu sense and it doesn't beat the original.

A great run and gun with tons of chaotic action... with a lot of technical issues on the PS4 version.

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.

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.

A good stealth game with a mix between 2D and 3D Gameplay. Its arts are lovely, but is far too short and has a lack of depth.

Ponpu, a Bomberman spiritual successor, offers solid fun for up to 4 players in local multiplayer. It falls short with its solo campaign, with good boss fights but insipid levels and unreliable controls. Nevertheless, it's a good choice for social gatherings, that also surprises with its daring monochromatic art design.

An interesting twist in the original game formula with new and different puzzles and enemies. Mind tough that it is a really short DLC, but its action and challenges are satisfying.

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.

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.

The mix of genres in the game is original, but also confusing.

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.

Contracts was a great step ahead for the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, and this sequel is even better. Sniping is fun, and we like the open level design, but there are still some technical issues with AI, loading times and several bugs.

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.

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.

Rick and Morty console's debut is a VR game that faithfully recreates the animated series' humor and spirit... but in a limited way. The game will last you only 2-3 hours and, even with end game content, it probably won't hook you up (most of it it's minigame repetition). Also, if you have played Job Simulator, "déjà vu" is guaranteed...

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.

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.

15 years after its original release, ZOE 2nd Runner is still a good robot combat game. Thanks to a great remaster in 4K it doesn´t look too outdated, except for the anime sequences. We enjoyed the VR mode, which allows us to play the entire game in first person perspective.

A very good strategy game set in the Middle Ages... but the diplomacy and trade sections are much better developed than the battles.

Bleeding Edge sets a good foundation for a game as a service. We're missing some additional content (game modes, characters and levels) but it feels truly satisfying when we coordinate with the rest of our teammates.

We Happy Few delivers a great story, with a perfect setting in an alternate sixties Britain and some easter eggs for fans of classic sci-fi literature. Sadly, missions are too similar and there are some technical issues in combat, loading times and survival mechanics.

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.

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.

Windbound is a game that presents a great approach, but fails to execute. However, despite its mistakes, it manages to stand out thanks to its artistic design, its own identity and a solidity in its survival system.

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.

A FPS packaged with fast paced action that reminiscent of the greatest classics of the nineties. Sadly, it gets old so fast due to its lack of content.

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.

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.

Destiny is getting bigger with this DLC, but we wish it continued the main storyline, instead of repeating so many Earth and Moon locations.

The Sinking City is a faithful adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft´s universe, and has some interesting mechanics, but the game has many technical flaws and the open world structure feels "empty".

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.

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.

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.

Even though it offers a great customization system and frenetic pacing, its repetitive story mode, which is full of bland and clunky combats and performance hiccups, makes Earth's Dawn fall behind the best games in the genre.

Battletoads pays homage to the classic 1991 Rare game with a great variety of gameplay mechanics. Beat´em up levels are well crafted, 2D platform levels and twin stick shooter sections are not so good, but still enjoyable, while turbobikes levels are frustrating.

A make-up editor for the Mii characters doesn't sound like much, but it makes a huge difference in our perception of Miitopia. Its LIMITLESS possibilities when creating any character reinforce even more the brilliant sense of humor of the game... because the gameplay is way too simple and repetitive to hold your interest for long.

Joining so many manga stars is with no doubt the great feature of a fighting game that feels just OK. Sometimes it's flashy, but also out of balance.

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

It steals elements from the classic Prince of Persia games. AC India requires some patience and its focus on stealth and platforming gives it an old school charm that diminishes its technical flaws.

While it's a decent stealth game, Styx: Master of Shadows doesn't meet PS4's quality standards due to its bland AI, basic combat system and poor graphic design.

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 not for everybody, but at less than $10 you get six hours of one of the more bizarre experiences you could ask for on a Nintendo Switch. On the negative side, low replay value and a chaotic co-op mode that does not add anything of value to the gameplay.

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.

The story seems like a missed opportunity and the gameplay, although fun, is far less than perfect. But it's difficult to refuse the opportunity to go back to the world of Final Fantasy XV for that price.

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.

Just Dance 2019 adds 40 new songs to the popular formula. It´s been almost the same since Just Dance 2016 (when the Unlimited subscription service appeared) but fans will enjoy th new playlist.

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.

Ghost Warrior Contracts is an interesting stealth game with great long shooting mechanics and freedom to approach any mission, but it also has plenty of technical issues, from graphics to enemy AI.

Good ideas and a fun artistic approach for a game which is too short and, sometimes, a bit confusing.

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.

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.

A very charming adventure reminiscent of the first PlayStation platformers... In both the good and the bad things. Monkey King: Hero Is Back captures the essence of the film it is based on, and although it is not revolutionary, it manages to be fun until the very end.

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.

Dreamfall Chapters´ episodic storyline have some great moments, but gameplay is too simple and puzzles are not well balanced. Technical aspects (except for the main character models) are poor.

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.

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.

A matter of family DLC would appeal to Batgirl fans and the Arkham lovers all around... but even then, it's a very short experience (60-90 minutes to complete) and, what is worse, without new gameplay elements or surprises. Hope the DLC to come improves over this.

We love some aragami and weapon design, but gameplay gets too repetitive and character progression is too complicated.

Destroy All Humans! brings back all the mindless fun of this series of extraterrestrial action. It might not be the best-designed game out there, or the most graphically advanced... But how many games let you throw explosive cows with the power of your mind? Yep, just this one.

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.

Robinson isn't the aventure that PS VR users were waiting for. It has nice gameplay touches here and there, and some visual moments and places you won't forget easily... but it's falls short for a full price game: you'll see the best it has to offer in 4-6 hours.

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.

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.

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.

30 years after its release, Turrican is still a great 2D "run and gun" game. This remastered collection is extremely faithful to the original, and includes savegames, and rewind to make it easier for new players.

An interesting change in Assassin's Creed's gameplay and a charismatic main character don't hide its flaws in the technical aspect. It's a bit monotonous, too.

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.

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.

Flatout 4 Total Insanity for PS4 has many game modes and minigames, but it´s poor controls and unrealistic physics engine ruin the arcade driving experience.

It may lack in originality, but 3000th Duel manages to merge both metroidvania and soulslike styles with great results. If you like games like Hollow Knight and Bloodstained, you'll like this one too.

As other memorable coin-ops, Sly Spy debuts on Switch with the same pros & cons that other classic games seen on the Johnny Turbos' Arcade series: it's an experience that, by today standards, falls too short (10-12 minutes to complete) and the emulation doesn't offer too many options (no "DIP switches", different versions of the game by region...)

Blacksad: Under the Skin is a game that detective fans will like with a new case that could be taken from the original comics, but the technical problems weigh too much on the final result and we will see if in the future they can be solved.
