Although mixing "Final Fantasy VII" and "battle royale" sounds like a crazy idea, The First Soldier is a very entertaining game that can convince both fans of FFVII and 'all against all'. A pity that performance issues cause the experience to be far from being as satisfying as it should be.

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.

Two fairly correct remakes that will especially appeal to those who did not know the originals. On the contrary, veterans may be missing more news and, in particular, the changes introduced by Pokémon Platinum.

If you are looking for an adventure for a player, that young and old can enjoy, it is one of the best options that you will find this Christmas. It is not very original and it is always safe, but its pleasant and entertaining development and great dubbing invite you to continue playing. On Switch it has slight frame backfires, but it is perfectly playable.

Happy Home Paradise is the answer for those feeling fatigued by Animal Crossing New Horizons.

For those who have never played it or want to dedicate another 500 hours, this is undoubtedly the most complete version to date.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is bigger and better in every way, even though it seems more like a definitive edition than a sequel.

GTA Trilogy on Nintendo Switch has problems like the rest of the versions, from an unstable frame rate to a notable popping or blurrier graphics playing on the dock, but they are still three great adventures like a pine tree, with slight improvements, which are highly enjoyable in portable mode.

We must recognize the first great DLC of Far Cry 6 the effort to offer something different, and from the eyes of one of its most remembered villains. The roguelite mechanics fit well, although it may not appeal to everyone due to the repetition and difficulty. Its small world and little variety of situations make it feel like a missed opportunity.

The nostalgic value of this collection is beyond any doubt, they are three masterpieces that today are still very funny (and with a sensational script), but this remastering has fallen short in many respects, and has technical flaws.

Battlefield 2042 skips the campaign and sticks to what it does best: deep, fun multiplayer. The 128 player figure (on PC and next gen) ensures the most spectacular battles in the series, and we love Battlefield Portal's nods to previous installments. The analyzed version had some minor bugs.

Even failing at "showing World Wart Two like never before", Call of Duty Vanguard is a great FPS. Campaign is full of epic (and some dramatic) moments, multiplayer is fun and fast, and includes 16 maps (twice as the previous Call of Duty game) with plenty of modes and progression elements, and the new zombies mode is incredibly fun.

Shin Megami Tensei V trascends divinity achieving a perfect balance between heaven and hell: it's and ode to the classics, to those JRPG's that weren't afraid of being complex and challenging, but it's also a modern game, adapted to current times and trends.

Forza Horizon 5 is the best open world driving game ever and one of the best in the speed genre globally. Playground Games has once again surpassed itself with a varied ‘crossover’ in which each kilometer traveled is worth its weight in fun and spectacularity.

Riders Republic is a little surprise, an extreme sports game that pick ups elements from the legends of the genre and applies them to a huge open world, more social-oriented, but without losing the focus on the fun part. It's far from perfect, but at least tries to do something different... despite the micropayments.

A hilarious revival of N64 and GC board games and mini-games that proves Nintendo listened to the feedback received after the previous Switch release. Whether you play with friends and family, or via Online, you'll have a blast. Alone, against the AI, you'll have fun with the mini-games, but the board mechanics will bore you.

It keeps the charm of the franchise while offering some interesting moments, but it can't hide the fact that graphics and some gameplay elements are outdated. If you are looking for a plain and simple survival horror experience, you will probable be satisfied with this one.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a solid action adventure that fans of this group of heroes will love. Although it is not surprising in its approach, it does many things well and manages to redeem itself in the eyes of lovers of the Marvel universe.

Age of Empires IV makes a safe bet putting all in on series' classic gameplay, with some new things here and there, but not risking a cent. If you're an all time fan of AoE you'll enjoy it for sure, but if you were one of those waiting for a revolution on the series, or at least a step forward, here you won't find it.

Dying Light is one of the best ports we've seen on Nintendo Switch. Sure there are compromises here and there, on fps and details, but playing on portable almost make you forget about that. Add the huge amount of content, the local and online coop or new options like gyro controls, and you have a great game on the go.

It's the less terrifying game in the series, but it keeps you on your toes constantly. Its focus on camarederie and cooperating to survive works really well. Anyway, if you didn't like the previous entries, this one won't probably appeal you either.

It's a shame the gameplay is so similar to past games and the exploration segments so bland, because the recreation of the anime it's truly spectacular; the best to date in a CyberConnect2 game. Fans of Kimetsu no Yaiba will probably enjoy it, even with the severe lack of content.

A perfect port for a perfect game, Tetris Effect: Connected it's the best puzzle video game ever created, transformed into an experience for the senses. An absolute must have.

We're back to the old cooperative mode of busting zombies like there is no tomorrow with Back 4 Blood, the heir to Left 4 Dead that keeps the essence of the franchise alive and incorporates new mechanics, but with lessons to be learned in the field of PvP.

Metroid Dread surpasses all our expectations and has everything we could have ask for: exploration, impressive action sequences, great atmosphere, tension and the best Samus incarnation. If we look at it as a metroidvania it doesn't reach the same level of greatness as some of the finest examples of the genre... But it comes close.

The island of Yara, where Far Cry 6 takes place, feels truly alive. We enjoyed "making the revolution" and fighting one of the best villains in the saga, Anton Castillo. But what we like the most about this "sandbox" is that you could simply go for a walk through Esperanza streets, the jungle or the beaches and find incredibly fun situations.

It's by no means a technical wonder, but its "lifting" is enough to keep up with current standards. Story and atmosphere are kept unaltered for a good reason: they still are tremendously engaging.

Effie on Nintendo Switch is an charming adventure that youngsters will enjoy the most. It's like an action platformer tale that it's a great way to introduce the most young in open world games with no complications or hard gameplay elements. It looks a little bit worst that on PS4, but playing on portable will fix that.

As a football game, FIFA 22 is very continuist. It doesn’t offer anything spectacular or revolutionary in order to make you stand up from your seat, but it takes profit of its previous knowledge to provide some nice matches.

We enjoyed going back to Sanctuary. From its endless fighting and looting, to its characters and epic story. But if you don´t treasure memories from the original Diablo II (it´s been more than 20 years since it was released) this RPG feels repetitive and some mechanics are outdated.

Two years after its original release, Death Stranding is still a masterpiece, with a moving story, unforgettable characters and impressive visuals. New gameplay mechanics, missions and minigames don't add much to a game that already felt like a director´s cut.

Sable it's a wonderful adventure that, at first sight, can seem slow and with frustrating aspects (slow pace, world apparently empty...), but its universe will hook you up with lots of mysteries to unfold and the main character's journey. All that with an unique audiovisual and aesthetics that will leave you wanting more, even with evident faults.

"Satisfactory" is a well suited adjective for this game. It may not be as groundbreaking as other games in the genre, but it offers really interesting exploration and combats. And you'll love your Rots too.

We love the art, the story, music and characters in Ni No Kuni II. It is a great J-RPG (which includes the three DLC previously released for PS4 and PC). The game runs at 30 FPS, with some drops, and resolution is also "downgraded" from the original.

Microtransactions are a trouble one more time, but, despite them, NBA 2K22 is one of the best sport videogames in history, because of its playable class on the court, its graphic muscles and its bench full of options. Visual Concepts wants to win the ring one more season.

Lost Judgment adds new mechanics and minigames to the Yakuza formula, although it is still a conservative approach. We loved the story, the characters and the realistic streets of Kamurocho in Tokyo and Ijincho in Yokohama.

Although there are some elements from Dishonored in the game, Arkane Studios delivers a unique FPS, with great characters an intriguing story and a wise use of time loops. There are some technical issues here and there, but we loved the experience.

With Life is Strange: True Colors, Deck Nine has recreated with faithfulness the "Dontnod formula", so if you are looking for a story about the weight of emotions, putting the spotlight on the things that matters and with lots of hard decisions... Don't look any further.

Tales of Arise is a high-quality JRPG and the next technical leap in a series that continues to take steps in the right direction on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. The playable renewal that it proposes places it as one of the most powerful titles of the year and as an excellent entry for players looking to get started in the franchise.

Sonic Colours Ultimate, the beloved return colored and brightest than ever, with improvements and a new mode called 'Rival Rush' to test your skills against Metal Sonic. Did you think Sonic Colours radiated with so much power that it was already phenomenal? SEGA has taken one step further and delivered even more hours of fun with this remaster.

No More Heroes 3 delivers on the things we would expect from Suda51: a kinetic and addictive combat system that ends up overshadowed by the creative liberties and eccentricities of its creator, leaving a fun but uneven gameplay experience. But the constant experimentation makes this a stimulating and surprising game.

A nice cooperative shooter with a great atmosphere and plenty of customization possibilities.Its only flaw is that its mechanics end up being quite repetitive, but if you get together with two friends you will have a great time killing aliens.

Double Fine Studios brings us a brilliant platform game, in which every level offers a fresh experience. We love the characters, the art direction, the music, and the sense of humor. This sequel was worth the wait.

Ghost of Tsushima was an impressive game when it was released a year ago, and this PS5 version is still amazing. It looks great (either on fidelity or performance mode), adds dualsense features, and most important, Iki Island deepens on Jin Sakai story, adding new gameplay mechanics, enemies and environments.

Route 96 is an adventure that will delight those who put storytelling before gameplay. Good dialogue and situations, varied, with many minigames ... It is replayable and has some interesting ideas, although it often leaves the feeling of being somewhat corseted.

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

Hades was already one of the best games of 2020 and the best work of Supergiant Games, and this new version for Microsoft's and Sony's consoles is just further proof of 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.

NEO: The World Ends With You retains the freshness, uniqueness and stylish nature of the original game, but at the same time reinvents itself without forgetting the complexity and tons of content usually found in the JRPG genre. We're once again before a true gem.

A fresh visual novel, set in XIX century, which introduces new mechanics to the Ace Attorney Saga. It is not translated into spanish language, and requires some advanced level to understand some legal and historical terms.

Whether you are a fan or not of sims, this is a game you should at least try. Even with some tiny tech hiccups here and there, this is an experience capable of making you want to buy a bigger TV.

Cris Tales shines with its astounding aesthetics and the way it manages the time travel elements, specially in combat. But, at the same time, it seems to be stuck on the past, bringing most of the glaring problems of the genre (grinding, areas that feels as corridors, repetitive optional tasks...). And it's a shame, because it has potential.

Hotline Miami Collection arrives in physical format to our country, reuniting two of the best indie action games. The series started almost 10 years ago, and as with old good classics, they are timeless: graphics, gameplay, music... all is still over the top.

The original game was built on motion sensing controls, and finally we are able to enjoy this magic adventure with more conventional control, and higher resolution. Skyward Sword may not be the best Zelda, but it is still a great game, ten years after its original release.

F1 2021 is a great racing game, specially once you move into the car and feel the excellent handling and the great performance. Modes (specially Braking Point and classic content) could have been better, but you will feel like Hamilton and Verstappen racing each other for the victory.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a complete game that serves its purpose to dazzle veterans and newbies. Although it has errors, its visual style, its combat and its successes when it comes to capturing the essence of the classic JRPG make this game a recommendable title.

Red Wings biggest sin resides in its little varied offering, but it does right a lot of things: campaign can be played in coop, the action is intense and joyful, it has some interesting mechanics... It's a shame that it doesn't offer more types of missions and modes.

It doesn't matter if you like golf or not. Nintendo has turned it all over to make this slow sport a pure craziness with running, special shots or traps, making choices that will appeal all kind of gamers. All topped with an exquisite control and nice and colorful graphics. It's a shame that the story mode and online don't offer a little more...

A praiseworthy work of revival of this classic. It updates and makes many of its original features better, but that's not enough to compensate its original flaws: basically, a brutal, unfair difficulty that may make you despair.

With a great story full of plot twists and a robust, varied and spectacular combat system, Scarlet Nexus is one of the best "anime style" video games Bandai Namco has ever made. If you like the genre or this kind fo stories, give it a chance.

Dark Alliance brings back the characters from RA Salvatore books, and we love that, but the gameplay is repetitive, and we found several technical issues, related to visuals, control and enemy AI.

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Videogame doesn't have many sports, but has enough gameplay variety to keep you entertained with the multiplayer, smashing buttons in athleticism or playing arcade versions of football, basketball or baseball. If you're playing solo, it won't last you long.

Metro Exodus Complete Edition not only runs at 4K 60 FPS for PS5 and Series X. The game shows great lightning effects (ray traced), new high resolution textures... and it is still a great single player, story driven FPS.

It's not a huge difference over the main game, but all the improvements from Intergrade are a nice addition, and the perfect way to replay FFVII Remake. INTERmission is just the cherry on top... And a BIG tease that will leave you longing for Part II.

As previous Lobanov's games, Chicory finds an interesting balance between its story, that explores different human problems, and our own artistic expression by painting. An "atypical" game that you probably will love as much as you love painting, although you can enjoy it even without focusing on it.

An interesting game making tool, easy to learn and powerful enough to create and share our own minigames. Still we miss some utilities such as importing assets or composing music.

One of the most spectacular fighting games ever made, with game dynamics that may appeal to any player... Although its main focus is online gaming. It may feel a little too shallow in content.

In many ways Rift Apart is the first "next gen" game. It truly feels like playing a Pixar movie, with great details, animations and an impressive weapon catalogue. Traveling through dimensions mechanics never cease to amaze.

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.

Necromunda: Hired Gun drives us into the criminal underworld of the Warhammer 40,000 universe with a brutal and frenetic classic-style FPS that will improve as soon as some technical problems are fixed. Said that, it is missing a multiplayer mode that gives more hours of life on our console or PC.

Some technical flaws are totally compensated by its absorbing atmosphere and its "no mercy" philosophy. If you are a diehard fan of the survival horror genre, you should try it.

A great collection with the all three games included in the gamecard, without additional downloads. And even if one of the three games is not at the same level, all of them are entertaining adventures that you'll probably enjoy even in handheld mode.

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.

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

Itadaki Smash pays homage to classic arcade brawlers, such as Renegade or Double Dragon, but its short, there is no progression or learning curve, and shows some AI problems.

Biomutant tries to do so, so much... Probably more than it should. That's why some mechanics are pretty basic or undercooked, and the reason why everything feels like "I've seen this before". It's a shame, because the setting and world are really, really refreshing an interesting, and it's easy to see there were good intentions behind it.

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.

Capcom Arcade Stadium for PS4 includes 32 classic games from the eighties and nineties, perfect emulation, different filters and options... but we still miss some great titles (mostly CPS 2 and CPS 3 arcades).

Knockout City manages to stand out as a multiplayer in the field of gameplay thanks to a different, but familiar premise. Its accessibility invites everyone to participate, but it is in other aspects where it stumbles. A series of business decisions relegate his formula to something fun, but one that could have accomplished much more.

The update of the game has its pros and cons, but the main improvements are well received. Narrative, setting and dialogs are still awesome, so having all condensed in a single package feels like a real treasure.

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.

Terminator: Resistance Enhanced it's a guilty pleasure, a game that it's not astonishing but it manages to hook the player up, even more if you love the first movies. It's not a technical marvel, and it's gameplay is not original, but when you start it... you'll probably get an entertaining ride.

Although graphically it is a little below what we expected at this point, its mechanics are totally faithful to the R-Type legacy and offers a remarkable challenge to all those who long for the space shoot'em-ups of the golden era.

Star Wars Pinball VR is, probably, one of the best VR pinballs out there. It only need more tables and a little polish, because all the rest is already there, starting for the inmersion, great table and mini games design, the options to customize the fan cave, different game modes...

Legend of Keepers it's an entertaining mix of RPG, strategy and roguelite, that follows the path of all-time favourites like Dungeon Keeper, even in the humor. But its simplicity and repetitive game loop, among other problems like very tiny texts when playing on Switch on the go, harms the final impression.

Village improves almost every aspect we enjoyed in RE 7 Biohazard. It is a great horror story set in Eastern Europe, with a perfect balance between combat, puzzles and exploration. But more is not always better, and sometimes it loses focus on the "survival horror" elements.

We can say a lot about Returnal, but in the end it is best to understand that behind the gunfights with next-gen graphics and the roguelike mechanics at half throttle lies a Housemarque game: a high-speed arcade that is a pleasure to play. They may not have reached it, but they have stayed very close to touching the sun.

For the type of game it is, it inevitably gets repetitive, but there is much to discover before that happens, and it is a beautiful and relaxing haven if you are looking for escapism.

Judgment for PS5 is even better: a great detective story set in Kamurocho, with 4K resolution, 60 FPS and small changes in minigames It also includes every DLC (items for Yagami Office and consumables).

A generic, sub-par action RPG that is neither generic, sub-par or even an action RPG. NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a unique game that constantly plays with our expectations, deconstructing a genre while constructing a subversive narrative. It may not be perfect, but it's still a must have.

Quotation forthcoming.

Soulstorm is a conservative sequel that improves on every aspect of previous Oddworld games. It brings back the 2.5D platforming and puzzle solving levels, with better controls and an impressive artistic design.

Either solo or multiplayer, Outriders is a fun, fast paced shooter, full of great moments. People Can Fly delivers great combat mechanics and RPG elements, but we have the feeling we´ve seen most elements in other games. We love that Outriders is not designed as "game as a service".

Mixed feelings: graphics and sound offer a surreal and engaging experience, but gameplay wise, several camera hiccups and uneven level design may become frustrating. Balan is able to appeal to your inner child... If that child is a patient one.

Narita Boy is a unique game, witch beautiful pixel art, handmade animations and a great level design full of references from the eighties.

Doom 3 is still a great horror experience, and the new HUD and controls are perfect for VR. But it´s been more than 15 years since the game was originally released, and some elements feel outdated.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on PS5 is the same enjoyable skate game, now a little bit better thanks to next gen innovations... but keep in mid that graphically isn't a big jump ahead (it was very good on PS4/One), and it has HDR problems on PS5 and, worst of all, you probably will have to pay again to enjoy it.
