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.

An outstanding fighting game that manage to simplify its entry barriers without making it easier for experts. You may miss some more characters, but beyond that this is an extraordinary game. Arc System Works has done it once again.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Appart is the first great demonstration of what the next generation consoles can do. Their changes in dimensions and how they are integrated into the game are jaw-dropping and uniquely integrated into the gameplay. Pure lombax muscle for PS5.

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.

The rebirth of a SEGA Megadrive classic is back with a remake to match the original. Labyrinthine phases, many enemies to defeat and abilities to discover in a fun adventure.

Song of horror tries to retain the old survival horror spirit but also brings back some of the issues of the genre with that, like its lackluster controls. Beyond that this is an interesting adventure with some original ideas and a good story behind it.

A game that will be on the likes of those who love D&D, but that finally misses the shot with a couple of flaws and features that simply are not there. For example its narrative it's too shallow and a multiplayer mode could have been excellent, but this is an indie game. A well rounded indie RPG that isn't as big as most of the big names on the genre.

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.

Fun but shallow game that may improve over the next few months with more new content, but that at its release time isn't enough to keep you playing for long enough.

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.

Conceived as an expansion of the original Subnautica comes its new installment in which to explore an icy location, plagued with new dangers, aquatic environments and for the first time on foot.

A franchise that made history almost a decade ago, and a collection that everyone that enjoy great games must play. BioWare has made an excellent remaster that manages to retain the original esence of each game, while improving them. Maybe the first game shows its age, but the series deserves that you pay that toll.

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.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla expands its possibilities with this DLC called Wrath of the Druids, which takes us to a new region and adds an interesting story arc full of new missions and charismatic characters. No surprises, but don't need it either.

Resident Evil Village is superior to Resident Evil 7 in practically every aspect and this game makes Ethan Winters become one of the most important characters in the saga. Its classic horror atmosphere, its agility in the game and in the inventory and its simple puzzles make it a seamless experience that will delight all those who are fans of Resident Evil. It is the entry of this series that is the most distant from the other titles and for us it is an essential of this 2021.

One of the most anticipated spin-offs by Pokémon fans is here. Help Professor Mirror on an adventure to photograph Pokémon and discover the secret that surrounds the lumini orbs.

Returnal may have made people think "this game is not for everybody", but after playing it, this quote definitely does not make much sense. Returnal is fresh, addictive and maybe can end up being a game that can break barriers for the roguelike genre.

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

You will remember NieR Replicant in 20 years, probably more than other games that have the perfect rating. An unforgettable adventure with which you will laugh, cry and your heart will break.

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.

Disco Elysium is pure role. If you did not play it in its day, you should give it the opportunity, since it is one of the most in-depth and immersive RPGs of recent years thanks to its narrative development and its mixture of concepts and ideas.

Outriders may seem like a generic adventure, but it's one of the best third person shooters we've been dealing with lately. With a wide range of enemies, scenarios and arsenals and a good handful of hours ahead. But its Achilles heel are the cinematics and the story about the planet Enoch that People Can Fly wants to tell us.

Narita Boy is a surprise. Maybe it's not a masterpiece, but it's a case of being good in things that we don't expect to be there.

A game that is best enjoyed on its multiplayer portion, and that's the first Frostbite Engine game on Nintendo Switch. Maybe you'll be missing anything new compared with the rest of the versions out there, that are already a year and a half old, but it's an extraordinary option if you are looking for an action game completely family friendly.

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.

An RPG that proved that different games could be a huge success. Undertale manages to retain all the charm that made it special long ago, with a deep lore and a unique way of handling thing that will keep you playing until the end.

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.

An outstanding adventure that is completely unique and offers the widest variety of activities for a two player coop game ever made. And above that tells a story that matters and is linked to the gameplay itself in a marvelous way. The only letdown of It Takes Two is not having someone to play it, cos' is an extraordinary experience.

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.

Monster Hunter Rise has surprised us in many ways. After Monster Hunter World the bar was very high, but Capcom has once again surpassed itself by adding a much more dynamic combat system, more monsters and gigantic maps full of exploration. One of the Switch games of the year.

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.

An interesting game that has some deep flaws. We love its story and the way you investigate, but the combat is plainly awful and we miss some more tutorial during the whole adventure. Also having to pay again for the same game if you already have it on PS4 doesn't rock.

Loop Hero is one of those games that can be described as perfect, with the meaning of achieving just what it wants without flourish. It will hook you, and you'll can't say no to one more loop.

A missed opportunity to present a title at the height of his older brother. A classic RPG that does not innovate at any level and that can be improved in its approach and playable mechanics, although fans of the Genre and of the first installment will surely appreciate its proposal... which is also terribly beautiful to behold.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is the best way in which such a mythical saga could return. In this way, he has all the ingredients to catch those who enjoyed and suffered with Arthur's adventures in his day. But it can also dazzle new players thanks to its flashiness and its local co-op.

Rogue Heroes is a little pleasant surprise. It's love for the games it references and the addictive game loop makes the game so enjoyable.

Nintendo has nailed it this time, with an excellent remaster for 3D World and a great add one called Bowser's Fury that teases us about the future of Mario games... We even wish it were longer.

Little Nightmares II is an excellent continuation that tries to bring a new approach, making our way into a city with a greater variety of settings, and with Mono and Six having to team up to be able to survive in a gloomy and perverse world.

Nioh Collection is a very good opportunity to start in the saga and take advantage of its technical improvements; and also to continue the adventure thanks to the possibility of importing your games. It's true that we will not take our hands to the head for its technical issues, but framerate and 4K resolution helps to offer a better experience.

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!

With The Medium, Bloober Team proves once again that their imagery for the conception of horror stories has no limits. The Polish studio enters into the new generation of consoles through the front door with a split-screen ghost story that fans of the genre will love. Its simple gameplay makes it accessible to everyone, and that makes the game even better.

Hitman's formula dances his last tango in which he puts the finishing touch to the trilogy: and leaving aside the episodic format suits him great. Direct, effective and with multiple possibilities to think like real killers.

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.

As fun as it was 10 years ago. Scott Pilgrim is a true tribute to the genre of beat 'em up games and it is especially recommended to be enjoyed cooperatively with friends or family. We miss some new features beyond the 2 DLC that are included, but it's still fun. Hopefully this re-launch will be the beginning of more games based on the license.

The best Tetris game ever, with plenty of multiplayer modes and a ton of hours of playtime. It may be something that we have seen a lot of times before, but it's still awesome and extremely entertaining.

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.

LoL: Wild Rift is a great game, despite being a mobile game. Mimics with dexterity what made LoL so big, and even allows itself to fly at a different height with things like the events, the character presentation or the customization options.

Gears 5: Hivebusters is everything we ask of a Gears of War: lots of action, frenzy, a simple story, and a level design perfect for gunfights. It has an adjusted duration, yes, but it is enjoyable until the end.

A good port of an excellent game that works perfectly despite requiring a Nintendo Switch Online subscription and isn't missing anything that the mobile or PC version doesn't already have.

Shady Part of Me is a puzzle title with an impressive and introspective aesthetic that tries to renounce everything that does not contribute to the story that it wants to teach us. Still, it sometimes gets lost in his own gameplay and leaves too many loopholes trying to be more mysterious than needed.

An interesting mix of well-known details that manages to offer a familiar taste and yet be extremely fun. As you can imagine Monster Sanctuary doesn't have anything particularly new to offer, but it's a fun metroidvania with all kinds of pocket monsters that's also pretty deep.

FIFA 21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X is the same game as in the original systems, with the odd technical tweak that especially dazzles the most recognizable players, highlighting the realism of hairstyles and beards. Otherwise, nothing particularly noteworthy, something that is logical in part because this is a free update, and not a complete new game with its own development.

Call of the Sea is a great starter for Out of the Blue. The game brings together the best of the puzzle classics of the 90s and combines it with the macabre monster stories of H.P. Lovecraft with a certain cinematic touch. A very successful Xbox debut. Of course, if you don't like puzzles, this is not your game.

Cyberpunk 2077 has set the bar very high and yet we believe it will be a memorable experience for many of the players waiting for it. However, it may have come close to meeting even the highest of expectations. In any case, we are facing a formidable game that has had us playing even when we had already finished it in order to look for the many endings, to keep leveling or even to simply get to know the characters better.

The popular Worms series returns to video games with an action installment with team mechanics and battle royale. Take on players from around the world individually or in teams in this unbridled war.

Twin Mirror is Dontnod's most mature and psychological game. His story and Sam's background are able to keep us until the end to know what the conclusion will be.

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.

Bugsnax is the ideal game to play between long triple A, but is also one of those that maintains itself in your memories. The characters upgrade what could be a curiosity to a remarkable game.

A great entry point for the new generation of consoles with an excellent technical side, and a good gameplay proposal lingering between a modern point'n click adventure an survival horror.

Fuser is here to stay as a true DJ experience in the form of a fun videogame. Sometimes it may be too deep for being really fun, but it's a deep experience that due to its nature may fall too flat with only 100 tracks (you are using no less than 4 on each mix).

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.

This game is every new-gen console's dream: an essential exclusive. Demon's Souls is a wonderful presentation for PlayStation 5, given that it honors a two generations in the past cult jewel and powers it with the new hardware possibilities.

A great musou game that also comes with an excellent story that completes what we knew from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The only comebacks of this game are some technical issues and the things that come with this game's genre, and even with that is a great game.

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.

Once again we find a CoD game with 3 separate ways of being enjoyed, and once again the zombies experience is the best part of the pack. Its campaign is not bad, and tries a couple of new things while being a bit short and shallow. The multiplayer part is the worst thing of the pack, due some balance issues and a lack of content. Fortunately that will be solved on the next few months, as CoD: Modern Warfare also managed to do one year ago.

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is an unexpected and pleasant surprise. A journey through its entire history with a very fun approach, and that can also be enjoyed in company.

Simple but yet fun platformer that doesn't want to do nothing new, but manages to entertain if it's played with friends. Easy and uncomplicated proposal that could have been much better with a bit more ambition. Just imagine a LittleBigPlanet game without its creativity side, add 3D levels, furry graphics and some excellent musical levels. That's what this game is.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a very good game even though it is far from perfect. It is possible that a little more development time would have favored it. It has its defects, especially technical issues, but, as if it were a Hollywood blockbuster, the whole is fun, and it is what really matters.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered offers slight technical improvements and 6 hours of content compared to the game 10 years ago. And it may not be enough except that you are a true fan of the license.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the perfect game to start with this franchise if you haven't started already. Transforming a pure action game into a classic JRPG is not an easy task, but the team responsible for this seventh installment has achieved it smoothly marking the beginning of a new era of Yakuza games.

Every console generation has to begin and end with an outstanding racing game, and this is the one for Xbox One/PS4 and PS5/Xbox Series. DIRT 5 is a fast & furious game with a fun twist on its style and gameplay. May not be as deep as the DIRT Rally Series, but proves to be much more varied than them while playing alone or even playing with you friends locally with a 4 players split screen mode or online.

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.

Watch Dogs is a good game that adds some layers to the original WD formula. Also the game offers a wide variety of missions and characters that manage to make the game fresh during a huge amount of hours. It may work better when you are trying to be stealthy and have some bugs along the way, but it's an interesting game.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe offers what it promised but doesn't want to go beyond that. It's a great game, but it leaves the feeling of lost opportunity there for not adding an extra layer of improvements beyond its new multiplayer features.

A game that doesn't do anything new but still manages to perfects the original formula of this Swedish studio. An intense horror game that fans of the genre should not miss.

Ghostrunner is a perfect cyberpunk adventure for those demanding players who want to reach perfection in its gameplay style in the vein of Hotline Miami, but with light touches of Titanfall or Doom Eternal. One More Level's game turns out to be a challenging work that will test your true level as a player. A variety of interesting levels with a lame progression system that does not quite reward as much as it should due to its high difficulty level. But here you do not come to take a walk in the park, but to sweat to eliminate each rival.

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.

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is capable of offering the same old experience in a new format. Everything that fans have been waiting for and also everything that new players need to enjoy this must-have franchise. It works perfectly and comes with graphics adapted to the new times making this game the best way to enjoy a renewed game that's still offering a kind of a retro experience.

Short and shallow but pure fan service that fans would love fusing Control and Alan Wake's universes. You'll want more of almost everything and that's good if you (like us) were waiting for something huge.

A game made to satisfy its audience, something it has done pretty well. The narrative is entertaining and engaging, and could possibly be expanded further. The gameplay in a similar fashion, is just perfect as it is. Including more things, mechanics and features would have made the game too complex, but if they can balance future improvements and continue to maintain dynamism, they can achieve a game that attracts a large audience, and could even be attractive to see in competitions.

Crusader Kings III has an abysmal barrier to entry, but it's worth if for everyone willing to overcome it. It comes with improvements in navigation and graphics to make it as simple as possible and offers an extremely complex simulation due to its depth. Some options are missed that take us a little deeper and brings the game to the next level, but it lives up to expectations. And with a saga of such depth as this one, that's saying a lot.

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.

Crystal Dynamics has released a half-cooked Marvel's Avengers game, but it has a lot of potential ahead. We are completely sure that, in a year, this game could be completely different, since it has plenty of possibilities and there is still plenty of content to spend hours without stopping. But it is true that it has arrived without being reviewed properly in some of its sections. Even with that, the game is full of epic action and Marvel fans will love it.

Without too much fanfare, The Last Campfire is a proposal that fulfills its purposes, through a game that develops a profound narrative and with the aim of reaching the heart of those who are at the other side of the screen. Neither its puzzles are a challenge nor its gameplay is the most elaborate in the world, but if we take this as a kind of "short film video game" it provides very good moments. An evocative title that is not common and only appears from time to time and that helps to provide a differential touch winch is so necessary in the games industry.

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.

This is what we need with a game so called 'remake'. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater does everything that made the original 2 games outstanding, and improves them in every single way, making this offer even more than that it once was. You can start with the new graphics, the improved soundtrack or its excellent gameplay. Perfect for those who played the original games, but also great for a new audience.

Of course the weight of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim does not fall on combat, it is much more focused on having an interesting narrative and very careful gameplay around it. This may be because at first it was a title designed for PS Vita. Its proposal is perfect for a portable console, but for at a desktop console it falls a bit short. However, we cannot deny that its story has played with our minds and has engulfed us to the point of wanting to end it as it may. Especially towards the end of the game, when fronts are already beginning to close and the messes are more directed, leaving us with the most emotional scenes.

Three big games that today are as fun as they were a couple of years ago. A travel through memory lane that will remind you about the magic that only Nintendo has while making a long-lasting masterpieces on this medium. We could ask for more extra content, but the fact is that these 3 games are fun as hell today.

If you loved Crysis once and want to revisit it, but in the best possible conditions, this is a golden opportunity. Possibly one of the best FPS that you will find on consoles if we are talking about games that marked a before and after in its original moment of launch.
