Inhuman Bondage is an interesting DLC because of the possibilities of the new character, but what is really relevant in the latest update of Red Hook's game is Kingdoms. This game mode breathes new life into it, looking back to improve what was added in Darkest Dungeon 2.

A good asymmetrical game that fails to deliver a complete experience due to its lack of variety on game modes and a player progression that doesn't hit the right trigger. Evolve is not a game that you are going to remember because of its variety, but it's pretty damn fun.

Sega has released too many Yakuza games continued in the West, and this Judgment is mostly like them stories and gameplay. However, the plot with Yagami is exciting and investigating every corner of Kamurocho makes the game richer. A perfect first step for a new player. A different perspective for the fans.

Mafia: The Old Country is a solid entry that takes the franchise to 1900s Sicily to explore the origins of the mafia. It stands out for its emotional and believable narrative, as well as its well-crafted historical setting.

Octopath Traveler 0, despite its conservatism, once again provides a magnificent lesson in how to unite the past and present of the genre. A superb JRPG, with significant new features within its own series, but whose lack of translation poses a huge barrier to users.

Need for Speed it's a great game full of good intentions. But the franchise still has a long way to travel.

The best thing about this game is that beyond the new features, it's the same game that we love to play. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has everything that has made this a memorable franchise: humor, coop adventure, and a mix of action, platforms and puzzles. Beyond that the new features feel a little bit dull.

Lies of P is a gift for soulslike lovers. Outstanding visuals, an intricate and interesting story and a reactive and frenetic combat. If you like the genre, this game won't disappoint. Dive in, it's worth it.

As well rounded as unforgiving and visually engaging. The Flame in the Flood almost becomes an outstanding game, but some minor flaws prevent that.

Deliver At All Costs teaches us that delivering the package on time is fundamental. If you have to destroy the whole city to do it... so be it. A funny, interesting and very enjoyable game. Another indie to remember.

With a free exploration that works and a combat system that takes the best of the genre, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a new step in the western RPG. The Arthurian myth serves as the basis for a lore riddled with legends, fantastic creatures and mythical characters that merge with the story to create something with its own personality. Large areas to travel through, solid mechanics and unforgettable moments that take all the good things from the board game to create a title that, despite its budget problems, manages to shine within the current catalog.

The Wonderful 101 Remastered, even though it is a simple port rather than a remaster, and without providing major new features or improvements, neither visually nor playable, it still maintains the essence of the original Wii U game, and that should be a perfect excuse enough to give it a chance or play it back.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central is a perfect fit for Nintendo Switch. Its frantic and colorful game modes are the perfect ingredient for an evening with friends, and while I miss game modes to play with a single pair of Joy-Con, if all your friends bring the controllers you have hours and hours of fun and laughter ahead of you.

Saints Row becomes the reboot that the most traditionalist fans of the saga needed.

A game capable of bringing back the shine of the shoot'em up genre, but still far from being perfect.

A nice remake that only makes what's strictly necessary to accomplish its goals. A missed opportunity and a great game at the same time.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The man who erased his name serves as chapter 0.5, a title that brings back the figure of Kazuma Kiryu and serves as a connection between Yakuza 6: Song of Life and the next great adventure with Kasuga Ichiban in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

A good but not great platformer that is almost as good as the original game on Wii U, but considerably smaller. But Poochy is lovely.

Suikoden 1 and 2 are two more than solid JRPGs, which are a living example of the golden age of the genre, and which receive with this collection their best exponent to date. They are not perfect, and they drag certain rough edges from their original release, but they are two must-haves for any fan of the genre.

Pokkén Tournament DX is definitely the ultimate edition, but that does not mean that we don't see its lack of contents and does not justify a new purchase for those users of the game on Wii U.

Tales of Arise comes to prove that the series still has a lot to say.

It takes a while to get going, but when it does, it's hard to put the controller down before starting the next dungeon.

As usual, MHG Ultimate is more than a remastered Monster Hunter Generations. It is a production that, although it is too much of Nintendo 3DS, is ideal for fans.

Dambuster manages to improve on the formula with a zombie smasher who does everything very well.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is the return of a title that celebrates a decade but that is an example of the good work that occurs in the most careful Nintendo. A review of the classic formula of the saga read and executed through the prism of motion control, and a lesson in design that offers good palaces, a succession of puzzles very well measured that ends at the top, one of the most worked stories of the series, a spectacular soundtrack and a unique combat system. A revision to the height that updates with success what is already a classic of the franchise.

South Park is back. The Fractured but Whole becomes the perfect experience for fans of the TV show and, at the same time, those who want to explore the city and fight in hard (but accessible) fights. With a new turn-based combat system, the game becomes closer to the Fire Emblem style, which makes it deeper.

Galaxy Space Run is an interesting twist on the tower defense genre. Clean, fun and absorbing.

Deadlight: Director's Cut is fun like four years ago, but we miss more new features.

Sad Cat Studios makes its debut with REPLACED, a gripping adventure that rewrites humanity’s known past.

Reventure, from Pixelatto, is one of the indie surprises this summer. A very fun game with a great sense of humor. Never dying a hundred times was so rewarding.

On the blueprint, Blue Prince is a simple title: You have a large mansion in which each door hides a decision.

It's fun but conformist. If you liked the first game you'll like what you'll find here.

A simple yet profound inde game that manages to do things that many AAA games don't achieve. An interesting experience that goes beyond its graphics directly to your emotions.

Ubisoft surprises but doesn't convince with this experimental new project from the creators of Driver San Francisco. It falls too short despite its good ideas.
