    Sharing Fall Guys with someone is ideal, but the laughs will come even when we're playing alone. This funny experience is enhanced by a visual style that could only be defined as eye candy and a simple, but catchy, soundtrack that makes us dance throughout the game.

    Black Mesa will probably go down in history as one of the most ambitious, successful, eye-catching and exciting fan-made projects. Its value as a remake is very high: it elevates in every respect the original Half-Life by Valve and even adds a lot of content. It is definitely the best way to enjoy this story.

    If Animal Crossing was always a very simple concept with very complex features, New Horizons is a toy hammer with the capacity to forge a universe, powered by each player's imagination. It's must-have game in the library of every Nintendo Switch user that perfectly exemplifies Nintendo's idiosyncrasy. Similar to a bonsai, It offers something that can be cared for and appreciated every single day.

    Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale manages to create a gaming experience that works in every way. Its gameplay is composed of simple, concrete rules, and highly engaging action. The generous diversity of its protagonists, added to its competent character progression system, will make us return again and again to explore this fantasy world, despite it can become hugely difficult at times.

    Tunic offers a new experience, and even when it reminds us of Zelda and the Souls games, what keeps us playing is what Tunic can offer on its own.

    Kunai is a fantastic experience. It delights us with a charming main character and an action challenge that is always adding something new to keep us hooked. Undoubtedly, one of the best games of 2020 so far.

    Day and night is the best way to define my experience with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC, compared to that of PlayStation 5. The version that Square Enix achieved for computers far exceeds that of consoles graphically and technically. It gives us a very wide range of options to modify our experience, and understands perfectly how to adapt it.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" is a title that innovates upon the foundations of its predecessors, offering revamped gameplay in its combat and an open-world exploration format that intertwines with the creation of a richly detailed world. With a touching narrative that delves into the bonds of each character, it's a title that promises to keep you captivated for hours.

    There is no doubt that the most original stories and proposals in the video game industry are found in indie games now, and Dredge comes to continue confirming this theory with a unique game that mixes the peace of fishing with the tension of a lovecraftian story.

    Hellblade II: Senua's Saga" far surpasses its predecessor, offering a technically impressive experience with touches of action and puzzle-solving, where all its elements come together around an emotional work that neither lacks nor exceeds a single second.

    An 8-bit unforgettable experience that empowers the player more than several modern games, with a replayability value that is more emotional than mechanical.

    Super Mario 3D World is a game that is going to receive its deserved vindication by being now on a console that does not stop selling and will probably end up ranking among the best in the series. Bowser’s Fury is an excellent addition that paints a prosperous picture of a future full of possibilities for one of the most iconic characters in the history of gaming.

    Carrion is a relatively short, positively memorable experience. Our odyssey as the monster attempting to flee from the mysterious installations shines with a formidable audiovisual design and fully original gameplay. It's cool to be the bad guy of the tale, sometimes.

    Leaving aside the discussion about whether this DLC should have been included in the base title, Separate Ways has all the weight to be a robust game on its own. While the story and the entire context is tied to Resident Evil 4 Remake, it offers us a new experience, with a completely different character, with improved and expanded gameplay, and with a very high difficulty in direct response to the dynamics it handles. Capcom's hand is felt in every section, and there is no doubt that we are in front of a Resident Evil with all the letters. In today's times, having a DLC in which you can invest up to 6 hours, is something very remarkable and appreciated. As part of the saga, there is no doubt that we are facing a proposal that no fan should miss.

    SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete is designed to last much longer than the original game, although part of this additional duration suffers in the form of repeating levels over and over again. Still, it's a pleasure to return to this digital universe to face new challenges with the help of new tools, and it's great to know that the core gameplay that made the first game a success is still where it should be.

    At first glance, Ori and the Will of the Wisps may seem like more of the same. It's true and it's one of its strengths. Because every aspect of the game works in such a great way that we can feel that we are replaying the same great experience as that of the first game, but with small changes that make it even better.

    Genshin Impact is here to stay. MiHoYo has just released a title that is likely to change everything for free-to-play games. What the game offers today is an incredible experience, with so much content that there are not enough hours of the day to experience it, and all of it is completely free.

    It Takes Two is one of the most special games that you will play in a long time. In pandemic times when it's still difficult to meet a friend face-to-face or play side by side in an coach, there's no better cooperative experience than It Takes Two.

    Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a great game at the end of the day because it understands what makes a great experience, introduces new characters to fall in love with, and tells a deep story. Miles may have a long way to go, but if there's one thing this game proves, it's that the suit isn't too big for him.

    Othercide is very enjoyable for both lovers of tactics and for those who don't know this genre and want to start playing it. With a campaign that offers many possibilities and immense amount of hours, all this added to its very compelling visual style, especially if you are a Lovecraft fan.

    The new game from Chilean developers Dual Effect builds on everything that made the first installment so successful. With impeccable overall design and all the healthy vices of the genre, Tormented Souls 2 manages to sneak its way into the ranks of the best horror games of the year.

    Diablo IV is a social phenomenon and once again sets a new standard for the genre. It's a dark, spooky, action-packed experience. Combat is frantic, fluid and fun, while micro-management of resources and inventory feels better than ever before.

    Manor Lords is a title with potential, although we will have to wait patiently to see it. This, undoubtedly, can deter the more impatient from giving it a chance. The progression is slow, and we might have to start several games from scratch to get the hang of it. On the contrary, those who are accustomed to this type of game will find here a beautiful and mechanically impressive city builder. [Early Access Review]

    Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a sequel that stays true to its roots, but in the best way possible. It recaptures what made the original unique and enhances it with new vocations to choose from and dozens of skills to master. It's an adventure across two gigantic continents to explore, brimming with mysteries and treasures, and a strong presence of mythological beasts to defeat. [Review in Progress]

    The Callisto Protocol is a sublime horror experience in atmosphere and immersion, offering a worthy challenge when it comes to single-enemy combat or against a mini-boss. The problem appears when the hordes arrive: when fighting many enemies, the rough combat mechanics are very noticeable. And being such a combat-centric survival horror, these shortcomings keep it from being one of the best of the year. [Review in Progress]

    After a year in Early Access, Unrailed is a party game that challenges us to keep a little train rolling towards the next station, having to craft and place the rails on the go. The game offers the option to play single player, but it’s clear the game’s strong point relies on its multiplayer experience. [Early Access Score = 80]
