    Sir Daniel Fortesque is back, and that is already great news. This new version of the first game is a whole remake in the visual side, but more a remaster on the playable side. The camera has been retouched, but it’s still a pain in the ass and the worst part of the game AGAIN. But luckily, Dan’s charisma, the new graphics and the own universe of this game makes worthwhile to revisit the experience again.

    Obsidian Entertainment achieves another great RPG game with The Outer Worlds. It presents a good story and ambience with plenty of customization options for our character and ways to proceed in every single situation. Even so, its technical errors and other details prevent the game from reaching the excellence it could have achieved.

    Mario Kart Tour is the best exploration of the franchise in the worst-case scenario. Nintendo has bet for a vibrant and appealing experience both in playability and in visual terms, but they are telling the payers that they are destined to pay if they want to get the best score in every single track; unless you are lucky enough to get that 1% chance pilot. Bad «game as a service» design, but they are still on time to reverse the situation by being less aggressive with the in game payments.

    Shadowkeep and New Light bring Destiny 2 a new born. A massive upgrade becomes the game Free to Play with lots of playable content without giving a cent. They also add new and interesting systems, like Armor 2.0 or the seasonal battlepass, which give the players (also de free to play players) more possibilities than ever. Besides, this big update came with Destiny 2’s new DLC, Shadowkeep, who sent us to the Moon to fight our nightmares. An enjoyable adventure maybe too short and irregular at some parts of the history, but really nice in general terms, with a very surprising ending .

    Blasphemous is a successful mix of two landmark series which already have previous and recent masterworks in common. Visually striking and delivering some of this year´s best pixel art, its shortcomings relate to both the combat and control schemes, which somewhat overshadow some really good sense of exploration in many of ithe game´s zones. Otherwise, this is a pretty good metroidvania / souls, very enjoyable from start to finish.

    After a slasher in the woods, Supermassive take us to a ghost ship. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan shares the same gameplay, mechanics and visuals as Until Dawn, with a shorter campaign of 4-5 hours that needs to be replayed at least two more times. The best part is the two multiplayer modes, an online coop and a local multi for 5 users. It is a shame that the visuals are so amazing but the execution so poorly sometimes, with frame drops and pop charging textures. Scary, compelling and funny, but not as good as Until Dawn was.
