    Dawn of War III is really a tryharder. While we are years away from the RTS' former glory, it can't be denied that the guys at Relic know how to manage themselves in the genre and bring us a game that truly delivers.

    The Sims Medieval is an interesting hybrid that does a good job mixing classic mechanics from the series with a more structured, objective based game. It may feel a bit limited at the beginning, and diehard Sims fans will miss some fundamental features, but this newfound sense of purpose for a Sims game suits it nicely and opens lost of possibilities for the future.

    Fantastic combat system and impressive graphics. TERA is a joy for the senses and an adventure that will fill the player with light, colour, rich landscapes and imaginative monsters. However, the quest design is a bit poor and predictable.

    Fun but short, magic but easy ... Klonoa jumps into Wii to become one of the best platform-games in 2.5D of the console. Jumps, colour and funny dreams for everyone, although it only lasts for the length of a nap.

    Charmin sequel that offers nothing really new -except for the 2D levels-, in which players will take the rol of Blob, jumping and painting a number of scenarios. Quite fun, but nonetheless very much the same that we saw back in 2008. It's a very interesing buy-option for those who didn't try it back then, specially on 360 and PS3.

    With a high performance, endless adjustable accessibility parameters and its predisposition to share the multiplayer experience, As Dusk Falls becomes the friendliest bet we have ever seen for people outside the medium to enjoy video games. It is an indie game treated as a triple A. A purchase that we recommend and a Game Pass title that should be a hit at family gatherings and with friends.

    We doubt that many indies more beautiful than Season will pass through our console this 2023. Season is a contemplative experience that helps to break the rhythm of modern society and serves to rest and heal the soul. It's a pity that the controls are so bad and that the game is empty of meaning and message. As if you were passing a beautiful postcard through Instagram and filling it with hashtags and pose.

    Milestone has revived its most iconic franchise, and the immense care and attention put into the project is evident, but the feeling is that it doesn’t quite measure up to the genre’s true classics. Screamer demands far more in terms of gameplay mechanics than it initially appears, so you’ll need to invest some time to fully appreciate everything it has to offer in its races.

    Miasmata suggests a different, intense and exciting experience. It makes an audacious bet with content strange to many, and which may pose doubts once we know its elements. The fears can continue during the early minutes of the game when one does not have a clear idea which objective is addressed... and are cleared fast when producing "the connection" with the protagonist. As the player happens to become Robert Hughes, Miasmata will make ours the emotions and doubts of the scientist, and his goal will become our target. Bob and Joe Johnson have managed to create a title capable of changing our idea of how to beat the game, for a constant desire to know more, to go forward and solve the mystery.

    Another year, another Assassin's Creed. This year the series takes us to another dazzling historical setting like the Victorian times, the London of the Industrial Revolution. But although the story of the twins, Jacob and Eve, has better elements than last year's Unity, it reinforces the fact that the whole series needs at least a year of two of rest and gathering new ideas. Yes, we have a grapple like Batman, and even horse vehicles, a great background scenario, a town to control and gangs of crooks to lead, along with the usual array of side-quests. But there plenty of elements that, if allowed time to polish, would have made Syndicate as big, fun and entertaining as others like AC II or Black Flag.
