Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a very simple game, yet it has a lot of charm thanks to its personal narrative that's easy to relate to. Undoubtedly, the connection between Nunu and Willump is the heart of the adventure. While the puzzles are fun and intriguing, it's regrettable that both the platforming and combat are very monotonous. Depth is noticeably lacking in most of its systems.

This is a colorful metroidvania game. It's a shame that the level design is just as subpar and frustrating as the enemies in the game itself. The art direction is also a strange mix of 2D and 3D elements that ends up feeling inconsistent. A good effort but there are much better games in the genre.

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain is entertaining and will make you have a good time. It's designed to leave you feeling like you can do better, so it constantly motivates you to beat your individual scores or those of other people. Its Achilles heel is that its offer of mini-games is short and lacks surprises, so it is made for you to enjoy it in long sessions for a few days, or in games of a few minutes in the long term.

Yes, it has some great reimagined graphics, and it represents a solid return to the Oddworld universe when it works as it's supposed to. However, New 'n' Tasty lacks some precision in the analog controls, it has almost no replay value and lacks imagination on the cooperative front, so this isn't the perfect remake by no stretch of the imagination, nor it stands close to great representatives of the platform/stealth genre, such as Another World or LIMBO.

I think it is necessary to see Naheulbeuk's Dungeon Master as an introductory proposal for the genre and a game that in small portions of consumption can give you fun times. Its campaign, humor and missions are attractive despite its limitations or wrong decisions in execution. We are not facing the panacea of ​​simulation and management and of course we are very far from works like Dungeon Keeper, but it is not a terrible experience either.

After years of waiting, Layers of Fear 2 comes to Nintendo Switch to provoke anguish, fear and desolation. Bloober Team’s effort is noticeable in this port that is faithful to the original with some shortcomings, with the option to play wherever you want.

Tales of Arise: Beyond The Dawn tells us what happened after the original adventure with a solid story and an endearing character, but fails to recycle everything else. While the storyline is good, the lack of new content makes us doubt the value of this new expansion. Tales of Arise: Beyond The Dawn is only for those who were left wanting to know what happened next, and are looking for a reason to return to the world of Tales of Arise.

Thunder Ray delivers the classic boxing game experience with an exciting twist, bringing a unique and fresh vibe to the ring.

Surprisingly good for a game mainly sold on controversy, Hatred has solid gameplay and presentation, but also a severe lack of depth and its own exaggerations often fall into the realm of parody.

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster is an inconsistent work. Graphically, it has some nice effects, but also some ugly elements, the most obvious one is the typography. It is a remake that removes important things from the original game and adopts unnecessary new features. It's not the best version of the game, but it's not the worst either.

Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was never an exceptional platformer - we can even accuse it of being generic - and that remains in its Rehydrated version. What also does not change in this remake is that it is a project that makes good use of its source material. It also looks better with much needed graphical upgrades. A good remake for a decent game.

Sonic Frontiers will be unable to return Sonic to the videogame Olympus, but it's not like it needs to. After all, the hedgehog has already transcended as a cultural icon in other fields of entertainment. What it does do is restore dignity to a franchise that went from the top to embarrassment. It's refreshing to try a Sonic that evokes the best moments of Sonic Adventure to remind us that SEGA's hedgehog is a gaming icon for a reason.

The apple didn't fall far from the tree with Detective Pikachu Returns. It's a game that stands out for its charisma, but can be guilty of being too simple, something quite similar to what happened to the Nintendo 3DS entry.

If classic construction and management games are overwhelming for you, Park Beyond will offer you a lighter experience, but with an interesting level of challenge. However, the Impossification option that gives it an unique touch was not enough to make it a must-play game

In the end, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl are remakes which are bound to pass without impact. They do a fine job at bringing the fourth generation of Pokémon into a new era, but fall short when it comes to being the definitive version of Sinnoh. It's fine that it's a faithful recreation, but I wish ILCA had gone the extra mile by daring to add things we saw in Platinum. After all, it's not a good thing that a remake leave us yearning for things that a 2009 game did.

EA Sports WRC is the first of its kind and although the result is bittersweet, it has solid foundations that could take the franchise to a better level. The heritage of Colin McRae's installments is there, Codemasters was guardian of it for 2 decades, and of course there is a vote of confidence for what they will do in future editions. Unfortunately, in his debut the result is not what was expected and amounts to a slump after a period with good results in his racing game releases. EA Sports WRC is not unplayable, nor a disaster, but it is far from great, although there is room for improvement with the passage of time and updates, so perhaps you could consider it for later.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is the path between a game and a VR experience. Some of its mechanics are very satisfying, but it fails to present the adventure that fans of this character have been dreaming of.

Despite being a game with exceptional ideas developed by a talented team, the reality is grim: Phantom Fury debuts with fundamental design flaws amidst the crossfire of survival, Embracer Group, and layoffs during development. Unfortunately, it is a rushed game, plagued by constant errors and a hastily constructed third act.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet it’s a great spinoff and a good way to celebrate Kirby’s 30th anniversary, but it lacks content and something to make it as addictive as other online multiplayers.

Just like its predecessor, Sludge Life 2 is more style than substance, and while it still looks and feels unique, it is repetitive and lacks something new to offer in terms of gameplay.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board!" is an interesting proposal for manga and anime fans who enjoy party games. The title features boards inspired by important locations from Demon Slayer and the saga's characteristic humor. Sadly, the minigames catalog is poor, and its battles against demons, while intense and enjoyable, cannot save the lack of variety that condemns it to a repetitive experience.

Minabo impresses with its delightful ideas and emanates a warm and amiable atmosphere, owing to its vibrant and cheerful style. The straightforward mechanics of the game make it easily comprehensible, while the challenging missions with special objectives offer a stimulating experience. Regrettably, the game's appeal wears thin swiftly as it becomes repetitive and monotonous. Additionally, the superficiality of its social aspects detracts from the uniqueness of each match. Nevertheless, it is an engaging experience that is enjoyable when you are able to connect with the concept.

Hyrule Warriors Legends is a worthy adaptation of the original game. It has a nice amount of content and features beloved characters from the Zelda series; however, the performance issues hinder the overall experience. It may be a repetitive game but all Dynasty Warriors games are like this, so you should not be surprised by this particular trait.

No Place For Bravery it’s a great action-souls adventure with fun and challenging combat, but its technical issues can be very frustrating and ruin the experience for some players.

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse shows that the underground horror game scene is beginning to show up to expose its creations. The concept of a desolate place and what the same lighthouse represents in the immensity and darkness of the sea are enough to capture your interest and give you an experience different from the traditional.

Just Dance 2024 Edition presents the best of the saga, but with some new features that will resonate very well with the community. It adds 40 new songs from various genres and promises more updates, so it has undoubtedly become a good option to try with family and friends. Sadly, if you want to play online you will have to be very patient.

Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden is an irregular game. The combat system is very addictive and fun, and the history is attractive due the characters and plot twists. However, there are a lot of rough corners. The exploration is boring and tedious, while the random fights are very annoying. And there are no innovations. If you can ignore the flaws, you'll find a classic and charming JRPG. Otherwise, turn around and look for a more ambitious game.

Quality of life improvements, the new UI, and even Historical Battle mode, are additions highly appreciated; however, they are not enough justification to return to Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, unless you are already a die hard fan.

Final Fantasy Explorers works well as an entry-level experience for anyone looking for something like Monster Hunter. It may not have a plot to follow, but the gameplay value rests on its multiplayer, as well as on its monster and weapon crafting.

Polyphony Digital had three years to truly work on this game and they delivered the same experience as Gran Turismo 5 just with some minor tweaks. Gran Turismo 6 feels more like an expansion rather than a brand new game. It's very disappointing for true racing fans.

SNK vs Capcom: SVC CHAOS returns straight from the arcades as a re-release with few new features. A game that went unnoticed but shines for its characters and solid control. SNK vs Capcom: SVC CHAOS has a broken balance and that can't be changed but playing it is a lot of fun. The opportunity to play it online gives it a lot of value and fortunately it works perfectly. Other than that, this version has little else to offer and the game is starting to feel old. A few image tweaks and other improvements would make this game more valuable in its comeback.

Luffy's new adventure offers an original story created by Eiichiro Oda. However, it does not shine due to the brief duration of its campaign.

Strider will satisfy those who didn´t play the arcade game, but it suffers under its repetitive design, lack of enemy variety, generic look and problematic input.

Super Bomberman R 2 includes everything that worked in the past in a single package with few new features. The story mode is short and repetitive but shines with its multiplayer modes. Most of its potential in recycled content, it's still a good option to play with friends and it's your first approach with this legendary character.

The current state of Marvel's Avengers is not much different from how we find Bruce Banner in the game's campaign. They are both in a bad position and they don't shine as brightly as they should. However, they also have the potential to be something bigger, stronger and special. In Marvel’s Avengers you will find a brilliant really good campaign and a competent looter multiplayer, but Crystal Dynamics still has work to do.

Despite some balancing issues, the lack of an engaging main story and the absence of a training option, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution consolidates as a worthy addition to the series, due to the abundance of available characters and references, its seductive visuals, well rounded animations, and above all else, the subtle and positive changes to the fighting mechanics.

Dragged down by a dated and boring campaign, Lost Ark is saved by an engaging and visually attractive combat system. Although it has payed elements, it’s a good choice for an MMO with tons of content.

Despite some undeniable improvements in terms of art direction and the underlying soul of the concept, Watch_Dogs 2 is still a sloppy product. With the persistence of AI oddities, dull graphics and physics, stereotypical plot and character design, conspicuous asset recycling, serious online problems and so on, Watch_Dogs 2's lack of polish stops it from achieving excellence once again.

A bittersweet successor to an indie classic. Shakedown: Hawaii is a fun game that pokes fun at capitalism and unethical business practices that, in the end, falls flat.

A superb atmospheric horror experience, Layers of Fear succeeds in taking terror videogames to the next levels in terms of immersion, but fails to deliver little else than another artistic walking simulator.

A good balance between precision sniping and arcade elements, Sniper Elite III is hampered by a severe lack of content, ambition and depth, but remains nonetheless an enjoyable experience.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World could be labeled as the son of Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot, but almost all the experience is based on the Nintendo IP. It’s great and it has the same level of quality, but we expected to see more unique ideas and concepts. Also, the Nintendo Switch version is not the ideal way ti play it.

WildStar is not afraid of borrowing elements from other MMOs, as it has the right attitude and personality to stand out from the rest. It is a colorful and explosive blend that may not revolutionize the genre but certainly refreshes it.

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle seems to be at the level of the first installment, although at times it suggests that it is falling behind. Unlike Daymare 1998, we are faced with a proposal that got caught up in its attempt to pay homage and its desire to do something original. Despite this, it can be a passable old-school horror game experience.

To the clinical eye of the hardcore fan, Crash Bandicoot 4 on Nintendo Switch can be considered as avoidable, however, this may well be different for those who seek the portable experience. Despite the obvious limits of this version, everything, maintains its essence in terms of design and mechanics, saving it from disaster.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is an entertaining game, but it has a long way to go before it can compete against the big names of the genre. It is evident that Milestone thought of it as a casual arcade racing game that you can enjoy in challenges with your friends to spend a time full of laughter and chaotic fun. Unfortunately, this good foundation suffers from a completely soulless and generic track design that you'll quickly forget.

If you are looking for a game that will make you laugh, High On Life is the one. It's a bare bones FPS with acid humor, brilliant characters, and it's filled with absurd situations; it will make you feel inside an Adult Swim series. However, its limited exploration and rhythm, the game is better committed to making you laugh rather than shoot.

Despite the lack of imagination during the races, Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious may serve as a good entry-level experience for those who haven't yet bought the regular game or those who want something just a bit different for free.

A good remake of a decent game. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX will be loved by those who played the original. Sadly it lacks the depth or challenge needed to be interesting to a wider gaming audience.

A Way Out intended to renew the forgotten split screen cooperative experience, but fell short in its execution. The result is not as overwhelming as you think; A Way Out is fun and it's better to play with a partner on the couch. However, if you wanted to find the holy grail of cooperative gaming, maybe you should look elsewhere.

In the end, as a football fan, I can't find a better expression that synthesizes FIFA 21 than the shout for a goal that was disallowed by the referee.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is a game that we greatly enjoyed. Unfortunately, Tango Gameworks' approach was to create a game where style is dominant and little substance is offered. In terms of setting and art design it is one of the most unique games we have seen in a long time. However, it is a bland and run-of-the-mill title gameplay-wise.

It may not be the best-looking MMORPG out there and its social tools could use some serious work, but in the end, The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited offers an intuitive and competent experience for console gamers and Skyrim fans alike.

Kirby Fighters 2 is a fun game without great aspirations that lacks content and gameplay. Despite that, it is very enjoyable and a good option as an alternative to other brawls on the market.

Another generic title from Dimps, Soldiers' Soul has little to offer that hasn't been seen before, but the Latin American localization really takes this to another level for the numerous fans from those regions. Apart from that, little to no novelties and a recycled storyline signify little more than mediocrity for this game.

Despite all the promises and the delays, Crackdown 3 is an unexpected miracle. It’s genuinely a fun game to pick up and play for a couple of days, but not for longer, as its dated design will turn this experience into a boring and monotonous adventure. Might not be worth the full price, but for members of Xbox Game Pass it’s an obligatory stop.

Plants vs. Zombies Replanted is a chance to revisit a modern video game classic.

Amplitude is a game best enjoyed in short bursts. Despite the lack of a remarkable soundtrack, its contents are very enjoyable and the simplicity of its mechanics makes you want to play it over and over again, although it may not keep you entertained for many hours in a row.

Despite its relaxing gameplay and great Japanese sense of humor, it can be repetitive at times and even disappointing for those who expect something resembling Animal Crossing.

Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash is nice and fun, with a sexual overtone that provides identity to the game but also gets in the way of the gameplay mechanics. It is clear that the game is aiming for a very specific audience but it could have achieved much more with a bit of moderation.

Just Dance 2018 is an update to the popular Ubisoft franchise with more songs as its main attraction. The gameplay has not changed much and although we appreciate add-ons such as Kid and Double Rumble modes, you will not find new mechanics that transform the gameplay we all know.

The Centennial Case : A Shijima Story is a game with very clear strengths and really pronounced weaknesses. In the end,its strengths are what stand out thanks to a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It would be great if its interactive parts were less tedious. However, those who manage to see past its stumbling blocks will find the mystery story engaging.

LEGO Horizon Adventures achieves its primary goal: capturing the essence of Horizon Zero Dawn and blending it with LEGO's characteristic humor to deliver a charming and entertaining experience. While it shines through its beautiful visuals and enjoyable combat system, its linear structure and uninspired level design limit the variety, making the gameplay feel repetitive. Even so, it's a good entry point for embarking on Aloy's journey for the first time.

LEGO Marvel's Avengers will make you smile with tons of content, fan service and its tongue-in-cheek tone if you are a kid or an otherwise obsessive fan of the franchise, if not, you will grow tired of its repetitive formula and design flaws very soon.

In the end, Caravan SandWitch is a game for those who don't want to get into trouble and want to enjoy an interesting story with a simple design and mechanics, perhaps even for those who want to get into video games, but not in a such a deep level. The sense of freedom and exploration is well achieved, although the proposal does not take long to expose the resources that, in my opinion, lengthen it more than necessary,

The upgrades to the Toy Box Disney stop Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition from being a completely mediocre game. However, the campaign and overall presentation leave a lot to be desired.

An amazing technical feat but a shell of a game in most respects, No Man's Sky excels at atmosphere and world-generation but its core mechanics are commonplace and unexciting as they come. Good, but not extraordinary by any means.

A fun hero brawler that has a long way to live up to its potential.

An ambitious game that loses depth in its attempt to incorporate too many elements. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has a well-rounded story and the great variety of characters brings a broad repertoire of possibilities even when reiterative level design and poor mechanics dilute what could have been an exceptional title.

Patapon aged very well and it’s nice to play it now on the PS4. This remastered version is just a decent way to enjoy the rhythm and strategy of the PSP classic with polished graphics.

Daemon X Machina scratches an itch only select titles can alleviate. It shines through its cel shading aesthetic, but suffer from a bad control scheme and a horrible camera design that will cause you to miss the action in the game. Piloting a mecha is the best feeling it has to offer, but the game stiff mission scheme turns boring quickly.

NBA 2K20 is the equivalent to the 15-16 season of the Warriors. The game was able to reach the highest level, but failed in the end.

Maneater is a game of many of many shortcomings; terrible loading screens, frightening cinematics cuts and a myriad of technical difficulties. However, the game is also extremely fun if you can overlook some of its problems.

A good attempt to bring competitive multiplayer to Xbox LIVE Arcade. With qualities like weapon customization or the possibility to modify every aspect of your character, this game falls short of becoming one prominent example of its genre. Maybe in the future the developers will include more weapons and new maps, but in the mean time this game is fun but doesn't offer anything new.

LEGO: Legends of Chima: Laval%u2019s Journey offers a nice game experience and a very entertaining adventure, specially to those who are already fans of the LEGO video game series.

Driveclub Bikes is a friendly complement to anyone who cares about the misunderstood sport of motorcycling. It may not be as cheap as it should but at least it offers additional content to those who really enjoy the Driveclub service.

Diablo IV remained stuck in the past while trying to find innovation without generating friction with fans who have played the franchise for over two decades; It feels like the ghost of Diablo Immortal continues to haunt the halls of Blizzard. The game is more of a reinvention of the classic experience, focusing on a games-as-a-service format to ensure another decade of content for Diablo.

Saints Row is an experience with peculiar contrasts Volition truly tried to reinvent the franchise for a new generation, but not wanting to betray its roots it was unable to evolve in the way it needed to be truly relevant in the midst of 2022...It is an entertaining and fun experience that many will have a good time with, of that we have no doubt. However, it has clear flaws and antiquated systems, so it will probably be remembered without much shame or glory.

A great premise, although not an equally great game, Spooky's House of Jumpscares makes for a fascinating experience of cute horror that doesn't fall flat.

Beyond the controversy, NBA 2K21 manages to save itself only because of the special attention that the development team puts on its playability since the game does not offer anything at the moment other than its already known modes, which are beginning to being flagged by the community as old and outdated, as well as an online component that got eaten up by microtransactions.

Metal Gear Survive is a strange and unique mix. On one hand it’s an interesting survival game, on the other it’s a merge of Sci-Fi elements with a shoehorned political plot and dull characters. The game has some genuinely fun and intense moments, but its mechanics and stiff controls sometimes make the experience unnecessarily difficult. Despite all of this the game can be quite rewarding and keeps you in a state of urgency that can be really fun.

Although it doesn't include as much content as we would have liked, Rise of Iron turned out to be a fun expansion, full of tweaks and small changes to stuff that used to make us angry. The new raid is a hoot and the redesign of the Iron Banner feels very welcome.

SD Gundam Battle Alliance is an interesting proposal. It is one of those games that can entertain you for dozens of hours. The problem is that, in order to achieve that, you need to have certain niche tastes. The point is that you can enjoy SD Gundam Battle Alliance without being a fan of Gundam or actions RPGS; however, it seems to me that its true appeal can only be appreciated by those who are.

Star Ocean: Divine Force is a great role-playing game that arrives 15 years too late. It's a game that will keep you busy for hours, and a good effort to keep alive an lesser-known franchise.

Destroy All Humans! honor its past, and if you place yourself in your 2005-self, you'll have fun, but in the end, this game ends up not being a remake, but a relaunch with a nice visual skin.

They say old habits die hard, and that's precisely what stains Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. We have a game that knows how to capitalize on the franchise it's based on to deliver a product that does enough to distinguish itself from other releases. Despite having several moments of quality and clever design, the overall quality suffers due to outdated mission design, as well as a dull, hollow, and timid story that shows a lot but says very little.

I liked my time with Dread Templar, especially when the game took off and began to offer a challenge on par with the best exponents of the young retro FPS subgenre. On the other hand, I think it needed a bit of work to really stand out, perhaps by handling the upgrade system or the boss battles in a different way. In any case, Dread Templar is a good game that understands the classic fundamentals of the genre and contains adrenaline-pumping moments in polished and emotional combat.

A funny cooperative DLC that will appeal to both zombie killers and nostalgic gamers of the classic era of Capcom.

The lack of revolutionary game design turns this into a hard-to-swallow experience without the appropriate mindset. An interesting effort nonetheless.

Just Dance 2025 Edition is an update that adds 40 new songs from various genres, so it is a good option to try with family and friends. Sadly, there is not much more to say about it.

Gorgeous at times and frustrating at others, Mulaka is a beautiful journey with an important social message hidden in a format that is too ambitious.

Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series is a good starting point to explore that galaxy far, far away through virtual reality. However, the main value lies in the presentation and the value of the source material, rather than the game itself.

Exoprimal is a mixed experience. Its simple concept offers immediate fun, as defeating dozens of dinosaurs with the exosuits is very satisfying during the first couple of hours. Unfortunately, the combat system is unable to sustain the entire experience and avoid the feeling of monotony.

A solid re-take on the classic Pac-Man concept, now with infinite scrolling levels and extra-glitchyness. Despite having multiplayer and free skins on consoles and PC, the game feels repetitive and samey. If you are looking for a more interesting modern variation of Pac-Man, you are better off with the Championship Edition.

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is a solid and very fast fighter that focuses its attention on delivering an experience that is competitive and fun. His faults are the lack of content, and the much-needed voice talent to bring to life the iconic roster of characters. All-Star Brawl can be improved but it seems that the game is not finished yet.

Arcade racing is what has defined Need for Speed since its creation, and Payback is not an exception to this rule. However, due unbalanced progression and the irrelevant single player campaign, this new iteration seem rather uninspired and lackluster.

When it's about to get better, The Order: 1886 ends abruptly and leaves us with a bitter taste. Its unimaginative level design, boring lycan combat and substandard pacing almost ruin the whole experience, had it not been for the best visuals on the console right now and great weapon design. The IP has potential, and we hope that Ready at Dawn learns from its mistakes. They've got something interesting here.
