    We don't know if it's a necessary remake or if someone asked for it, but since it's here, it's an enjoyable game. One of those that you can enjoy on a weekend when you don't feel like doing anything truly existential. The original is from 2006 and the passage of time is noticeable in terms of narrative and conceptual development; but on a technical level it is up to the new times.

    Saints Row still doesn't understand that the video game industry has changed since its last installment and must remodel its structure from scratch. While the narrative and jokes are good and moderately coherent within the madness of the game, the mechanical basis of this does not help at all when it comes to creating a competent title and above all, remarkable or outstanding.

    As Dusk Falls will please you as much as its script does. There isn't much more to read because there isn't much to play with. If the story of one family or the other is able to grab you, you will enjoy the whole time the adventure lasts and you may even be encouraged to replay some stages to make a different decision.

    Mario Strikers: Battle League is a game that, when viewed individually and making use of multiplayer and online can be quite fun. However, it arrives 15 years after Wii's Mario Football and hardly feels like that much of a leap forward. Not to mention the rampant lack of single-player content.

    Scarf is a very beautiful proposal at an artistic and audiovisual level in general, but its conception as a videogame is below the level it reaches in the aforementioned levels. Its development is committed to be reflective and emotional, but that should not be in dispute when it comes to offering a greater challenge in the puzzles.

    Simple, but effective. Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is the perfect option to play in company thanks to its cooperative mode and have fun with friends or family. Its shortcomings, such as a repetitive development, are solved by having someone next to enjoy the experience and deliver cookies to the Romans. In addition, at a technical level, the work done by its creators is exquisite, and we will feel that we are inside a comic book that has come to life.

    Your head won't explode, even though there are a lot of bombs in the game. A nice adventure based on the world of LoL, giving room for the new line "A League of Legends Story" with which Riot hopes to continue contributing for years to come. It is simple, straightforward and effective. Its biggest downside is wanting to gloat about the action it has, something difficult to appreciate in a rhythm game where you have to keep an eye on the movement markers to succeed.

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl prove two things: that the original was a game loaded with charisma and that makes you come to the end of the remake looking forward to it, and that without the improvements and additions that the developers keep adding, however small and unambitious we may think they are, the house of cards falls down on us.

    Aragami 2 is a sequel that improves on the original installment in every way, giving users a long adventure, full of revenge, stealth and action. Together with a splendid soundtrack, make Aragami 2 a more than remarkable title, which is not free of certain aspects that could be more polished and cared for, but which shows that the Spanish video game industry has a lot of talent to show the rest of the world.

    NBA 2K22 is not more of the same. It has improved defense, playably is the best in many years, and has added what is effectively an MMO to its MyPlayer. However, the game still feels like early access in certain modes, with bugs that ruin the immersion in MyNBA, and monetization remains a problem for a player unwilling to invest or who doesn't have an edition with some Virtual Currency to use in their MyPlayer.

    Lost in Random has very good ideas and a development that combines its gothic atmosphere with a combat system inspired by the best role-playing games. But, when you repeat the same process continuously, the sensations are more bitter.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a proposal that, in general terms, we have loved for its fidelity to the Alien movies and because it does not seek to be anything more than an action experience a la Left 4 Dead, already with built-in improvements that can be seen in Back 4 Blood, to kill aliens without stopping. However, it could have been much more and bring some variety to not always be the same. Still, if you are fans of the movie saga you can't let it escape.

    The Ascent wants to make changes in a genre but it falls short and is not polished enough to offer a satisfactory experience. The setting is successful, it picks up the essence of the Cyberpunk style, giving it a further point of decadence and an extra element with the alien touch, with interesting character designs and offers an interesting action proposal that may fall short too. The biggest drawback comes in its optimization where there are many rough edges that present problems.

    Onirike, from the Spanish DevilishGames, takes us on an adventure that reminds us of the value of dreaming and the memories we have saved. An adventure in three dimensions that brings a certain nostalgic factor to those games that were played at the beginning of the century and that have been forgotten. Platforms, chases and puzzles come together in an entertaining adventure that is weighed down by errors such as input lag in its controls and little variety. A Tim Burton atmosphere and colorful characters await in an adventure that although short, entertaining and has a great moral. All this at an affordable price.

    Samurai Warrriors 5 is a full-fledged musou and a good installment of the saga, but it sins of being too flat and of not evolving the gameplay and the mechanics of the genre. Nor does it bring great new, in general, and is aimed only at fans. But, even so, it's a great entertainment that we recommend.

    It is not the worst first step for the saga, but this game gets shadowed when you compare it against Football Manager. The game moves itself off from football, and it gets so close with a calc sheet.

    A game that will please every Warhammer 40K fan with its narrative and gameplay mechanics, but can be a bit shallow for everyone else. And the team still has to do plenty of optimization to make the game work well on most on the platforms where it's available.

    Quantum League is a great idea lost in its execution that demonstrates the difficulty of creating a successful multiplayer title in 2021. A project with a sensational gameplay that has been dwindled by the lack of content and the shortage of players. Is it Worth? Definitely, but only if you have someone to play with.

    After its launch on Nintendo 3DS, the adventures of Miitopia come to Nintendo Switch. A true utopia with your Mii characters along with accessible and fun mechanics make it a purchase to consider.

    Double A lovers were looking forward to Biomutant. The premise is interesting and It has very good points like the weapon crafting system, but it is a real disaster in things like the script or the karma system.

    A city builder that is a completely different animal compared with the regular games on the genre. All you have to do here is know the basics and build a better world, without the risks of being attacked. An engaging experience that is also pretty entertaining but sometime feels shallow and doesn't have enough replayability.

    MotoGP 21 hardly differs from last year's installment and it's a shame that Milestone is such a conformist studio.

    A charming yet simple puzzle game that is best enjoyed while playing in couch coop, but lacks variety to be really entertaining for a long time. Maybe with a better IA and some more gameplay mechanics could have been a complete success, but it's just a fun game to play with a friend.

    A moving game that prioritizes its story over any other gameplay mechanic or technical improvements, that will be interesting because of its storytelling, but that will not be remembered for long.

    A fun game that is burdened by time restrictions and the continuous micro-payments that it proposes and that, in the end, are a continuous brake to fully enjoy the game.

    The biggest problem for Tennis World Tour 2 isi ts lack of identity. It wants to be many things and end up being none. And it is a shame, since it wastes the licenses of famous tennis players with an experience that finds it difficult to be fun. In addition, this next-generation version does not offer worthy technical improvements.

    This new iteration of Story of Seasons feels like a missed opportunity. A rough craft system joins some dull NPC to become a step back in the series. Marvelous have to dig into its own roots to deliver a game worthy of its name.

    El Hijo: A Wild West Tale is not the most innovative stealth game in the world, but it stands out for having a Pixar context. It's fun for kids, but the message gets through to adults.

    Short but fun platformer that doesn't do anything particularly new, but still offers a good take on its genre. One of those games that will bring joy to your library of games but you won't remember for long after finishing it.

    Natsume tries to go forward on the series taking a few risky decisions. Sadly not every decision taken is correct and that makes the game a bit shallow compared with previous games on the franchise.

    Destruction All-Stars is a game with some potential if we get some extra modes or if it's challenges had been free. But there are some design decisions that limit what this game can do in the future.

    A game that lacks ambition to do something bigger in almost every bit of his equation. Technically it's not bad, in terms of gameplay it works fine, is easy to play and master... But at the same time it could easily be better. Cyanide has conformed with the fact of offering just a correct game, and that means that Werewolf The Apocalypse could have been much better...

    A great compilation that includes 4 great old games that have received a wonderful remaster treatment. But it also comes with some flaws like the lack of any extra content beyond the OG games, and the fact that this are difficult games that may not be for everyone out there.

    Gods will fall is a challenge. A work that will test your ability to analyze each of the levels and enemies you face. It can be a bit frustrating, but it is also most satisfying when fully mastered. To the gods!

    Super Meat Boy was an incredibly good platformer, but this sequel is not as good as the original game and the reason is simple: Super Meat Boy Forever is now an autorunner. This makes the Team Meat game even harder than it was, and that affects to the gameplay itself transforming this game in something less fun than it could have been.

    Fun and with a ton of content but repetitive and a bit shallow on a long term. It's a good idea, but at this moment we can't recommend it due its bad matchmaking and some lag issues that hopefully will be solved in the upcoming game updates.

    A love letter to fans of fantasy and Action-RPG in the vein of the Souls saga. Chronos: Before the Ashes, is a perfect option to enjoy a fairy tale story with a chosen one, a dragon and tons of monsters to eliminate with your sword and shield strokes. Of course, for those who are tired of Souls, it's just more of the same, but shorter, so you can skip it.

    Bright Memory is one of the mandatory games for Xbox Series X/S. Although it's only the first episode of the full game, the work done here by FYQD Studio that combines first-person shooter with hack and slash is brilliant. The story is still a bit confusing, but it has so much potential.

    The Falconeer brings to life a fantastic and beautiful open world where we can fly everywhere riding our giant falcon. Dogfights between the clouds while an interesting story between different factions is defining our actions. We just miss more interactions with the world around us and to be able to change the story with our decisions.

    Little Hope doesn't have the charm of Man of Medan and its story is too predictable and not terrifying. Even so, it is a good option to play in the company of 5 friends.

    Alpaca Ball Allstars is one of the craziest games we've seen in recent years. It's fun and surreal, and the matches with eight animals fighting for the ball are truly wonderful mayhem.

    Fast, fun and works better played with a friend just as it was with the classic beat'em up that serve as an inspiration to 9 Monkeys of Shaolin. It may be too simplistic sometimes, but it's a great offering on this old school genre despite its PC version it not a very good port from the console versions of the game.

    Hellpoint is a game for Dark Souls saga lovers who want to live a similar experience regardless of the sacrifices that it entails. The title is lost amid the vastness of similar games that are capable of doing everything better, and while each game deserves to be treated as a separate set, it seems to strive to keep Miyazaki going through our heads at all times. It does not quite shine in nothing and its most positive aspects are lost among the immensity of bugs and cloned situations that leave us a déjà-vu feeling more bitter than sweet during the 20 hours that it lasts.

    Almost the same game that we played back in 2012. Nothing has changed enough... It is not awful if you didn't played the game when it came out, but doesn't offer enough new reasons to come back to this world on 2021. The good news is that THQ hasn't thrown in the towel with the franchise, and that everything that we see here would be improved in the future.

    It's difficult not to see NBA 2K21 as a kind of early access. Not only because of its outdated teams or the mistakes made while trying to evolve the gameplay, but for the lack of some game modes that aren't accessible yet.

    Serious Sam 4 may be repetitive, with an overly simplistic story and could be better in graphical terms... But it's a love letter to those who enjoyed the 90's FPS where killing things was the important shit. In these early days the proposal lacks some more game modes such as mods, multiplayer, coop options and more, but it's enough to have a crazy fun game night.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a fun and needed change for the series, that became too gritty and complex. Now this game is closer to the 90's arcade games and may not be as deep as previous WWE games, but its fun as hell, and if you are one of those who love wrestling, you'll like this one.

    If you are a Kirby fan or if you want a different and sweetened fighting game, Kirby Fighters 2 is a very good option. It is not a revolution in its genre but it's enough to offer compliant and fun combat, especially when playing with up to three players. Story Mode might need more bite and variety.

    Esports Life Tycoon is just an experiment. It's more interesting to show the growth of the esports industry than as a sim game. The game is not working as a 'unity' but as a mixture of fun moments in the offseason with a boring daily life that is too easy even for newcomers.
