    Morkredd is a satisfying dark puzzle game that can be played alone or cooperatively, being an excellent game to share with non usual videogames players. It offers a very original spooky setting and gameplay mechanics related with the use of light and shadows. An excellent and fresh addition to the puzzle genre.

    It had to be a monumental task to build this "city of dreams" and also populate it with passionate stories and characters, fantastic music and a captivating personality. Shortcuts to greatness are extremely rare, and the steadfast and safest path remains hard work, passion, and the desire to create something that surpasses others, with the right resources to do so. CD Projekt could have rested on The Witcher's laurels, made more sequels, and released a couple of best-sellers in the time it took Cyberpunk 2077 to finish, but that's not the path of the Polish studio, driven by more ethereal goals. Money, yes, and success, but leaving a mark too. Glowing brightly in the intensity of the night. Making history before our eyes.

    A ‘realistic’ version of a classic 2D Castlevania, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula looks like a vampire hunter game, but it feels and plays like a Contra or a King of Dragons, a pure arcade run ’n gun with a lot of enemies, Final Bosses and a high level of difficulty that has no mercy for newcomers -high but not unfair. Certainly short, It’d need to address some things and unbalanced elements, but if you like classic 2D games and 'ye olde' Castlevanias from 16 bit era, give it a try.

    One way trip is a proposal that emphasizes its history and its characters above all else. An interesting bet located in an atmosphere of terror, and that its real intentions are to enter a thriller in which we will have to bring out our magnifying glass to reveal the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. An original game but that sometimes ends up being simple and repetitive.

    Hyrule Warriors: The Age of Calamity is a solid game, with great combat and some of the best battles and bosses in the Zelda universe.

    DiRT 5 does not bring anything revolutionary to the arcade driving genre, but it does manage to set the saga in a territory where no one can doubt its existence. DiRT is still DiRT, an episode that takes the best of the first three numbered installments and does not forget to provide the excellent set design of the Rally side. This anarchic philosophy is enjoyed at the controls, but it suffers from a series of technical problems and graphic finishes that are below expectations. A remarkable title specially designed for lovers of the saga and four wheels, but which fails to establish itself as a benchmark in its genre.

    Manifold Garden is a pleasant surprise. A simple, straightforward, abstract, minimalist and complex video game through its simplicity. But above all, a video game. Inspired by the Rubik's cube and based on the idea of the Relativity painting, this first-person puzzle title invites us to experiment by defying the laws of physics and gravity, an example that puzzles are there to impose their own rules, to bypass them and turn them around so that the player sits inside. Sometimes fascinating, sometimes too limited, its three hours of duration leave a great taste in the mouth. Fully recommended.

    The Crown Tundra is one of the best things that have happened at this generation of Pokémon games. A rich territory, nourished with content and with a new mode, the Dynamax Adventures, which is a success. Sensational set design, mysteries to discover and ideas that fit together perfectly.

    The return of Crash Bandicoot is a celebration for platform videogames lovers. Toys for Bob has managed to understand the classical essence to perfection and has been completely right by incorporating Quantum Masks and the design of some phases; However, the difficulty is not as high as it used to be, nor is the design of some levels as excellent.

    A walking simulation song of cosmic horror at first, Maid of Sker has a story that loves to mix EA Poe and HP Lovecraft styles, a place with its own persona, and a great first part where the darkness and sounds effects keeps you in tension.

    Here be dragons is a proposal that manages to enchant us with its successful naval combat system and particular aesthetics, but that after several hours of play, does not get better. More innovation, complexity and a multiplayer option are missed to get into its competitive mode more than ever.

An entertaining title, but it also has factors that could be improved and polished.

    Summer in Mara is a beautiful and whimsical game as you embark into an adventure where the world is the core of the experience.
