Although the game has some bugs that can be somewhat frustrating, they do not detract from an excellent gaming experience, with an impressive setting and a well-woven and resolved mystery story.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2 is too much of a continuity sequel, so much so that at times it forgets to contribute something of its own, and that's its biggest problem. Even so, it's also an outstanding JRPG that manages to feel modern while embracing the classic.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 mixes all the ingredients we've seen for years in RPGs and combines them into an unfamiliar, but very enjoyable new recipe. It's hard to get into, but once you do, there's no turning back.

Thanks to its (not so) few changes from previous instalments, Civilization VII provides more freedom to think and strategize so that we can build a different way of playing each time. With a wide range of options and more profound decision-making, Fireaxis offers one of the best games in the franchise.

Bandai Namco takes advantage of one of its latest anime, Synduality: Noir. to create Synduality: Echo of Ada. A game that invites us to shoot monsters, enemies and other players while we travel on the back of our own mecha. The customization and preparation of each raid become an important part of the proposal while we get resources, fight and get money to improve our subway headquarters. With touches of roguelike and a lot of desire to keep us glued to the control as long as possible, the lack of content and automation make that in the end we are left wanting more.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a pleasant surprise for gamers who have been following the Tayabusa clan since the old Tecmo games of the 80-90s. A remastering at the height of the original title that offers about 13-15 hours of fun filled with extreme combat, frenetic action and many game modes as a reward after completing the campaign. The visual and performance improvements allow us to play at 4K 120 FPS turning the game screen into a spectacle of blood, gore and severed limbs.

The upgrades, the new orc species, and the controls and mechanics of the new character have added a lot of fun to a saga that at first seemed to have nothing new to offer. It's a good game, but I think it still needs more innovation in its main mechanics.

The Inheritance of Crimson Manor gives a twist to the Crimson Manor saga of Mediacity Games with a proposal that invites us to investigate the mysteries of the mansion in search of answers. A series of very well constructed puzzles go hand in hand with a solid scenario design and a not so solid story to result in a game in which the undisputed star are the puzzles that we will have to solve to reach the end.

Square Enix puts its best face forward with an excellent PC port for one of its best games in years. It's not totally perfect, but the truth is that they have managed to encapsulate the best of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on a new platform.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD offers an experience worthy of old-school platform games: both frustrating and exciting at the same time. A timeless jewel that comes to Switch for you to enjoy with your family, now in HD.

Although its presentation doesn't hide its portable past, Freedom Wars Remastered is still as fun as it was a decade ago and certain aspects have even been improved to make its adventure more fluid and enjoyable, with its story mode standing out.

Infinity Nikki is a true gift, although it's not a game for everyone. Despite featuring a story that feels lacking, its beautiful open world and Nikki's immense wardrobe come together to create a package that brings joy to the soul and peace to the mind.

Marvel Rivals is a lot of fun. A game that takes a lot of inspiration on other titles but still manages to deliver a gameplay experience with a lot of personality. A must-play if you like hero-shooters, and if you're a Marvel fan on top of that, your up for a treat.

In its current state, Path of Exile 2 is already a great ARPG. It has everything it needs to be a benchmark in the genre, while offering a challenging and satisfying experience. Still, it has a number of rough edges that need to be polished during its early access. [Early Access Score = 80]

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a fantastic adventure, which understands perfectly the franchise that we all love. A game that oozes charisma and manages to put you in Indy's shoes with puzles in lost civilisations and dozens of secrets to discover. A real treat to end 2024 on a high note.

Axel McCoin must investigate a corpse plot while trying to remember his past in Neon Blood. Its style, halfway between Pixel Art and 3D rendered environments, offers us a gameplay proposal that reminds us visually of the 90's experiments and, in its structure, of the old Nintendo 8-bit games. An experience that works but leaves us halfway in many aspects.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers us a powerful adventure of radioactive terror. A first-person horror sim with survival elements in which we will have to learn to survive and improve our equipment to reach the end of its complex plot. Monsters, anomalies and enemy factions join the arid terrain and dangerous emissions to turn the proposal into a unique experience in which learning and intuition are as important as exploration and quick thinking when advancing.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has some points where it doesn't evolve enough and is somewhat simple in its story. However, that doesn't stop you from enjoying a colorful and fantastic adventure in a reimagining that respects the classic and brings it closer to modern audiences.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a gift for all players, whether or not they are fans of Aloy's story. The story and personality of the characters eat up the scenery in a title that features somewhat linear gameplay. Although it sometimes fails in this aspect, it is worth going through this game because of the fun experience it offers. It is impossible to go more than five minutes without laughing.

Among Giants signs a proposal that has managed to convince us despite its technical problems. A great adventure in the mythical Albatroz mountain in which nature becomes the main protagonist of the story. Driving, pilgrimage, survival and RPG come together to create a whole that sometimes is sublime, and others, not so much.

Red Dead Redemption is an exceptional game, and its PC port more than delivers, offering a well-optimized experience even for less powerful devices. Even so, it is missing some substantial additions or improvements after so many years of waiting.

BioWare manages to recover in Dragon Age: The Veilguard the good tone of his youth with a proposal that convinces by the good work of the team. A deep story that returns us to a magical world of Thedas whose regions reinvent themselves for the occasion. A very well designed combat and the possibility of exploring in depth the different scenarios as we advance in the adventure are the finishing touch of an experience that leaves us more than satisfied.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an adventure RPG for Nintendo Switch that stands out for its snappy storytelling, charismatic characters and charming humour. Players explore different islands, solve puzzles and engage in turn-based combat that requires good timing.

Slitterhead is a successful experiment. It combines a cryptic and complex story within an episodic mission system that simply works. All that spiced with precise, complex and visceral combat.

With Puppet House you have the perfect excuse to spend a Halloween afternoon, especially if you have teenage gamers at home. A title focused on the public from 12 years old that will populate your dreams of nightmares and that is passed in about 3 hours without difficulty. Entertaining, without great pretensions and with a story that could well star in one of the softest chapters of Creepshow or the famous Nightmares by R.L. Stine.

Planet Coaster 2 presents a clear evolution over its predecessor, led by the changes in the career mode and the additions in customization, but sometimes it feels that it is weighed down by being too continuist. Even so, it is a clear reference in its genre, and a worthy successor to the first Planet Coaster.

Black Ops 6 surprises and much for its campaign, but ends up hooking thanks to a multiplayer mode and zombies mode that offer just what they promise. It may not be perfect, but it's probably the best Call of Duty in years.

The Smurfs - Dreams offers a varied platformer with some very interesting ideas. A journey through the dreams of several of the most beloved Smurfs of the village that falls short despite the collectibles that invite replayability.
