Continuist? without doubt Tropico 4 is more an expansion than a sequel and the new elements are only complementary to the same key mechanics and ideas from Tropico 3. However, it's still a quality game and the much welcomed refinements and light improvements make it a better game. Especially recommended for players with no experience in Tropico, but still a good buy for any maganement fan.

Friendship, love and teenage rebellion, that's how Life is strange: Before the storm is, apparently less transcendental than its predecessor, but just as interesting and addictive.

One of the best individual episodes from Telltale. While it can be discussed that it has taken way too much time from Episode 1, it´s also hard to argue that it has been time well-spent. Tales from the Borderlands seems to keep an excellent pace with an interesting story and great characters.

While Squadrons is not the definitive sequel of the original X-Wing we were all hoping for, it is a nice entry point for the return of the saga that lands with the right foot.

Pokémon Legends Z-A is one of the most intelligent entries in Game Freak's recent games. The studio knew how to build key new mechanics such as the real time combat with the enough focus in the little details. There's things that still have potential to improve, but overall our stay in Lumiose City was great.

It is a title made for a very specific audience.

Horizon Chase Turbo is an homage (totally worthy of praise) to classic games like Top Gear and Outrun, with frantic and very good control. The soundtrack is a minor wonder.

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 .

Miles Edgeworth is as fun and charming as previous entries on the series; but it's easier, more linear, and it lacks the depth we are used to in the series. Not the greatest entry on Capcom's franchise, but still a great game, fun, long and entertaining.

Marvel vs Capcom Origins is a good revision for a not too good fighting games. Fun, accessible and solid online game modes but with the same errors: unbalanced characters and infinite combos.

The best and funniest golf comes back home with a majestic gameplay, full of extras and a high quality online component.

Although it appears to be one more farming simulator, Atomicrops is actually a bullet hell with much more in common with Nuclear Throne than with Stardew Valley. This roguelite without permanent upgrades forces you to try different weapon combinations in each game, so it always feels fresh and funny. Solid as a twin stick shooter, loose as a farming simulator.

Deathtrap has the potential to be one of the indie titles of the year. Neocore Games knows how to mix the Tower Defense genre with the A-RPG to make a unique an fantastic game that will be charmed with the lovers of this two genres.

Yomawari Midnight Shadows follows its predecessor in major aspects but is getting better in others like the graphic style and the game's story. The playability keeps on the same level with minor improvements but is interesting to play. Graphically it has a notable upgrade and the atmosphere maintains a good level from the first game, especially in monster design and sound.

Wonderful Explosion Machine brings the Nintendo Switch back to the good old days of Defender. Colorful environments and tight gameplay make for a great debut for the Shoot em Up genre in a machine more than suitable for the classics. It just doesn't match the outstanding quality of certain shooters available today, but it´s a solid game after all.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a game focused to the most hardcore fans of From Software. It has a great combination of new final bosses but lacks a solid progression system that keeps you playing after beating them all.

Mega Man Legacy Collection brings the first six titles to new audiences; even so, we expected much more from this compilation with a few interesting extras like challenge mode.

Nintendo Land tries to evolve Wii Sports with a mini games compilation based on well-known franchises and using the Wii U GamePad in a creative way. It's not Mario Party, but it works as party game and a unique experience in the console line-up.

The videogame arrives on Nintendo Switch with a graphic face lift and improved menus but without too many new features. It perfectly maintains the essence of the original but with a clear focus on the GBA version.

MLB The Show 22 doesn´t need too much to become one of the best sports videogame every year, and maybe this is its biggest problem. Without any competition, this franchise is taking the risk of complacency. Despite of that, we are talking about an extremely solid game, one more season.

Team tactics is something really rare to see in shooters, specially in close combat, but Starhawk provides the tools to enjoy great battles where the strategy is as important as the aiming skills. LightBox Entertainment did a great job redefining the original Warhawk, from the aesthetics to the gameplay.

One of the last big games planned for PS2, Yakuza 2 is more that that. It's a project that shows many of the values for what Sega has been known in the past: ambition, attention for detail, and will for innovate. The games is still not perfect, but the series are showing a really interesting progression and pointing to a bright future if Toshihiro Nagoshi and his team manage to fulfill its big potential.

Three games in one disc. Two are great games, one is the worst entry in the series, but overall it's a nice HD collection. All the faults are the ones the original games already had, so it's a must buy for hardcore action games fans.

Mafia II follows the steps of the first one, showing that there is more than one way to use sandbox space. Others will argue that the beautifully built Empire Bay is underused as a virtual space, but one must praise the ambition of a studio willing to build such scenario to add character and background to his heavily scripted story. Mafia II's narrative shows the way for other games with similar ambitions.

With a wonderfully complex combat system Tower of Time manages to clutch your attention and never lets go. Increasingly complex and varied, this is a wonderful little (but also quite massive) title that is worthy of your attention.

This is not a game for everyone. It requires good performance both in the management of resources and in the handling of weapons. They are two extremes of the game that must be mastered equally to advance. If you don't like either of those two game modes, this isn't a title for you. If you do and want a deep and lasting challenge, you'll enjoy this game a lot.

An interesting title that shines in both its single-player and multiplayer game modes, offering intense clashes between giant robots with a simple but effective combat system.

It's not Portal, but we have some of Valve's franchise elements in here. Build bridges and lead the driver into a deadly adventure in this puzzle game. Bridge Constructor Portal is challenging and funny, but some of the mechanics have been simplified.
