Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is absurd, daring, and very entertaining, but its story takes a long time to start, which affects the playing experience from the beginning. You will notice that you shouldn't take the narrative so seriously because it doesn't get you anywhere. Nevertheless, the references and the combat system keep you wanting more because it's a challenging title.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is satisfying as an expansion, keeping the game mechanics and narrative in line with the base game, but it doesn't offer enough to consider it an outstanding DLC. It will be fun for the fans, but those who left the game will not find a strong reason to play it again.

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is on the same level as its predecessor, with gameplay reminiscent of classic JRPGs, a unique presentation and a decent length, which makes it a highly recommended title.

Chocobo GP is the game that results from combining the chaos of Final Fantasy with the karting of Mario Kart 8, a fun title for a party. If you are looking for a unique racing game, this is the one for you.

Gran Turismo 7 is one of those games that takes full advantage of the features of PlayStation 5. Loading times are minimal, audio design is impeccable and driving with the DualSense makes the gaming experience much more attractive. The menu design is too simple, but it is necessary for newer users to learn in a much more enjoyable way about motorsport culture.

Infernax is the result of combining Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Bloodborne. But, even when this sounds like fun, it gets boring quickly because of its dated mechanics.

OlliOlli World is a well-made game that tests your coordination. The story might feel simple, but it does have beautiful art and fun challenges that keep you coming back, even with its intense difficulty.

The story of Martha is Dead reflects upon the horrors of war. It's a magnificent psychological thriller, that makes historical events evident. It also attempts to voice the quiet terror that women experience in fascist countries.

Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master doesn't show anything different (and it doesn't need to), it is an excellent option for those who have an Xbox and want to try this traditional drumming experience. The musical selection is quite decent and the unlockables will give you dozens of hours of play. You're not going to become a taiko pro, but you're going to have fun trying.

Lost Ark has great content for a free-to-play game. Its mechanics and narrative are well polished, although they are not fully exploited. Highly recommended for fans of MMORPGs.

Elden Ring is a very entertaining game that takes a lot from other FromSoftware titles. Its beautiful open world is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it invites you to explore, but on the other, it makes you face the same enemies over and over again until you are sick of it.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is a DLC that brings an opportunity for new players to get into this franchise, giving them a balanced, fun, and simple video game, that embraces a diversity of tools for the player to discover its full-of-action world.

Do you think that 2022 is going to be a terrible year? Well, Nobody Saves the World comes to save it with tragic humor set in an apocalypse that's destroying humankind. Rescuing the world while being a spitting fire rat is fun. Its gameplay and puzzle-solving mechanics feel like the breath of fresh air that we all need.

SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash on Nintendo Switch is a wonderful way to experience once again one of the most entertaining Neo Geo Pocket games ever made. It started the fighting games crossover of the late 90s, and playing it again is a terrific way to preserve that experience.

Dying Light 2 takes everything we loved about its predecessor and improves it in a unique way. A very interesting story with ramifications and an entertaining gameplay makes the game highly recommended. Only a small number of visual bugs keep it from reaching its full greatness.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus refreshes the Pokemon formula, it's completely different setting and original quests hook you from the beginning. Nevertheless, it also shares the franchise's best and worst attributes. Yes, it isn't a perfect game, but it aspires to offer something more for the Pokemon fans out there.

Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection proves that Naughty Dog doesn't just create solid gaming experiences with incredible cutscenes and deep, detailed environments. The study that also delivered The Last of Us: Part II shows us that it knows how to adapt its games to the new hardware available and that the results will always be outstanding.

After the Fall delivers on its promise of an action shooter game in virtual reality, however, its lack of content rapidly makes the experience repetitive and tedious.

Playing Rainbow Six Extraction might be challenging, but for some strange reason it is pretty entertaining. Successfully completing a mission will bring tears of joy, because of the feeling of accomplishment. Even rescuing an Operator will make you feel some relief. On the other hand, the game needs more development on its narrative and the character progression is really repetitive.

Nothing has changed. The game is mostly the same: Kratos is still playing the "father simulator" and God of War is still a wonderful game that, at the time, offered an aesthetic experience hard to match up. However, nothing that existed in 2018 can be assumed as the reality that we live in the present day, the fateful AP (After Pandemic) World. What really changed is, undoubtedly, the way we see it... Ah, of course! Also the platform.

Life is Strange: True Colors is a good narrative video game with simple mechanics that comes to Nintendo Switch with significant changes in its graphics. However, the great story, music, and design quality that the franchise has gotten us used to are still there.

Yes, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is still that excellent game that amazed us in its console launch, but we expected far more from the PC version. It's maddening really, that with all the technological advancement it doesn't look better. This is not the port that consumers deserve, but the one that Square Enix could deliver.

Football Manager 2022 shows a significant improvement over its previous editions, making navigation and interaction with the menus more intuitive. The new data center with statistics and projections allows you to make more informed decisions and face each game more prepared. Without a doubt, this is one of the best current sports simulators.

It seems that it was a simple task to bring Monster Hunter Rise to PC because the result was pretty okay, especially when it comes to performance. The only bad thing is that its graphics don't look better, even if the resolution is 4K. Nevertheless, it's worth your time, you're going to have fun from first to the last hunt.

Ruined King: A League of Legends Story is a turn-based RPG video game with some mechanics that make it unique. The graphic and sound presentation is superb, but it has some design bugs that interfere with the experience.

The reality is that Big Brain Academy: Brain Vs. Brain will fulfill the task of offering a gaming experience focused on mental abilities.

It doesn't compare with its predecessors, but that doesn't mean that it's not a good offer.

Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story has good level design and enjoyable music with which you will destroy the city of Piltover with Ziggs. Unfortunately, the lack of calibration, precision, and repetitive controls can turn it into a frustrating title.

Even though the graphics and performance took a hit, Techland manages to maintain the speed and excitement of Dying Light on the Nintendo Switch.

Chorus is a pleasant surprise to finish 2021. Its satisfying combat, rewarding exploration, and beautiful galactic scenarios make it easy to recommend this title.

From the first few minutes, it's noticeable that 343 Industries poured its heart into the Halo Infinite campaign. Everything looks cared for, greatly detailed, and it offers an unbeatable experience in Xbox Series. At times it feels like some additional game mode is missing, but that doesn't mean that the title isn't enjoyable. It's a must-buy and a game that will be worthwhile to play on more than one occasion.

Pokemon Shining Pearl is a good remake that honors the original release, but they could have added more to make the experience even better.

If you have enough patience to survive this apocalypse, you'll find a deep story and very challenging gameplay based heavily on strategy. Fans of the series won't find much innovation, but they also won't be disappointed.

The campaign of Call of Duty: Vanguard tries to be heroic, but falls short and becomes predictable due to one-dimensional characters with poor development. Even when the multiplayer has interesting gameplay options, they are nothing to write home about. Finally, the zombie mode adds a lot of entertainment to the experience, but it's not enough for this installment to be a must-buy.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition lets us re-experience the great stories of three beloved titles. Unfortunately, it fails more than it succeeds.

The Artful Escape might seem easy to some players, but its flawless and engaging music and art direction make it worth your time.

With a unique presentation, engaging story, and solid mechanics, Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is one of the best RPGs of the year.

Just Dance 2022 comes to the Nintendo Switch with new game modes and improvements to its graphics and sound quality. Unfortunately, it does not add anything new to its already well-known formula. To make matters worse, its track selection will feel too limited if you do not plan on paying for the Just Dance Unlimited subscription.

With a wide variety of vehicles, competitions and activities, Riders Republic is a highly recommended game for sports fans and casuals alike.

TiGames work looks pretty good on the newest hardware generation, however, the PC version looks the best. But, not everything is visuals when we talk about F.I.S.T .: Forged in Shadow Torch, the story is entertaining and its exploration system is deep and well-planned. It's a game that will leave you pleasantly surprised.

Forza Horizon 5 improves over its predecessor in almost every way, except that some of its main events aren't as entertaining or spectacular. This is not only a love letter to its Mexican fans, but also a great contender to Game of the Year, because anyone, no matter where they are from, will be able to enjoy this great driving experience.

Mario Party Superstars won't offer fans from the 20-year-old franchise anything new and making matters worse: there are important mini-games that were neglected. Only 100 mini-games are not enough, especially when Nintendo had already done this four years ago on the 3DS. However, thanks to its replay value and nostalgia, this game is worth it if you play with friends a lot, but as it happens with this kind of games, you probably won't be friends anymore once the match is over.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl delivers character and environment design faithful to the cartoons, however, our high expectations were crushed because of the complete absence of voice-over. Sadly, the lack of rewards and the limited variety of game modes makes the game boring quickly. Don't expect to spend a lot of your time here.

Even if fans were expecting this game and might enjoy it, its many failings make it hard to recommend to the rest of the players.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is quite a jump in quality from other games in the franchise. The narrative development is attractive, the scenario is engaging, and the conclusions will give you goosebumps.

Age of Empires IV is just what you would expect from it: It has a lot of content, game modes, and that addictive element that keeps you playing non-stop. The game doesn't offer many innovations, but they aren't necessary: the new, fresh, and modern presentation is just an excuse to enjoy this franchise once again.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun game, very well-planned, with great narrative and strong ambitions to entertain the player. Star-Lord's interaction with the Milano crew and the rest of the characters is magical. Combat and physics can be problematic, but the errors don't overshadow the positives. Even the Latin American dubbing is a delight that you are sure to enjoy.

With Back 4 Blood, Turtle Rock Studios returns in a great way to the genre they helped create, although it has some flaws that can affect the experience.

Actraiser Renaissance is a very worthy remake, but one that is far from perfect. It starts slow and it's very tutorial heavy. You expect more speed in a title from the 16-bit era, but this is not the case. If you can handle the beginning, you are going to find a very entertaining game with platforming and tower defense strategy elements.

Metroid Dread is an excellent return to the Samus saga with an interesting story and solid mechanics, although it does have a few problems with its new villains.

Far Cry 6 welcomes us to a fascinating setting in the middle of the Caribbean with a good dose of personality, adequate characters, a great sense of humor, and new mechanics. This is a game that you will enjoy especially if you are Latin American and a follower of the series. However, the core of gameplay remains almost intact, which makes this new installment feel like a skin that also comes with its fair share of bugs.

New World has every element that an MMORPG fan needs to spend hours in front of the screen while they level up their characters and jobs nevertheless, its lack of variety of enemies and activities make it repetitive and tedious very soon. The PvP quests are great, but limited to high levels, while PvE delivers what's set to accomplish. New World can be quite entertaining if you have a lot of free time and patience, but if you don't, you might want to look somewhere else.

NBA 2K22 is a game that has as many virtues as faults. For instance, while shooting mechanics and visual presentation are a key enhancement to the experience, micro-transactions turn the online competition mode unbearable. It is these kinds of details that prevent this basketball title from being the best.

Defiance of Destiny takes Disgaea's core and tries to evolve it into a game that exploits ridiculous characters and situations. However, already in its sixth installment, it does not find a balance between pleasing its fans and inviting new users, delivering a game that makes us doubt the longevity of the franchise.

Diablo II: Resurrected is a video game history lesson that everyone should know, but apparently they didn't learn from their mistakes. Resurrected is far from perfect and Blizzard didn’t use this opportunity to polish combat mechanics.

EA delivered a solid soccer game that you should enjoy beyond a simple online match. Both Pro Clubs and Volta received solid upgrades and the created players have an interesting development thanks to the improvements that you can implement in them. Overall, the game mechanics have been polished enough to feel that this year FIFA 22 is very different from other previous deliveries.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Prince's Edition comes to Nintendo Switch with some sacrifices. Unfortunately, many charming details are not noticeable on this platform.

Hot Wheels Unleashed brings to consoles the same feeling that we had when we played with the toys in our childhood. The variety of vehicles is wide (even when there aren't many legendary ones), and both the cars and circuits work well. Overall, this is a great arcade racing game and a great surprise.

Tales of Arise proposes new ideas for a long-lived series where we thought we had already seen it all. After this, the franchise can no longer go back to what it was before. Because of its story that touches sensitive topics, improvement in art direction, and a more complex battle system, Arise stands next to Symphonia as one of the best games in the series. This is an adventure that you will remember for years.

Encased: a Sci-Fi, Post-Apocalyptic RPG seeks to recreate the best moments of the first Fallout games. Unfortunately, it also brought with it a lot of outdated mechanics and repetitive designs. Along with this, technical problems, bugs, and unreliable localization ruin the experience.

Get It Together is a valuable addition and features several of the best minigames of the WarioWare franchise. However, being forced to switch characters with different abilities can be annoying and sometimes success depends more on luck than your expertise.

Hades on PS5 works perfectly. The resolution and textures look bright, colorful, and have very good quality. Sure, this is a version that doesn't take advantage of what the DualSense can offer, however that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed. This game is a must-play, regardless of the platform.

I certainly had fun times in Cruisn’ Blast, particularly when my inner child was at the wheel, but my brain (which was never completely turned off) kept telling me that there are better racing games now. Cruisn’ Blast is full of nostalgia for a series that prefers the absurd above innovation or quality. There will be some voluntary and involuntary laughs here and there, as long as you are not bothered by short experiences full of Déjà vus and poor graphics.

The engaging story and captivating visuals of Lost in Random make you briefly forget its flaws.

We've played the concept of "eternal return" in video games for decades, but Deathloop gives it a unique twist and turns it into a central part of its mechanics and plot. Repeating their trusted and tried formula, Arkane Studios improved on it until Deathloop came to be; and while not perfect, it's only a few loops away from it.

Life is Strange: True Colors offers a solid narrative with many options to unlock and a mystery to solve. Yes, it sounds like more of the same, but the investigation and the story development through the perception and emotions of others make this a unique and enjoyable experience. Even with its flaws, you will enjoy the new Deck Nine game.

No More Heroes 3 brings together the best elements of the franchise to give us one of its greatest experiences, although it also maintains some of the flaws of its predecessors.

Its high difficulty (sometimes artificially) and its art direction make it a must-try video game. However, it can be frustrating due to the lack of maps, unnecessary difficulty peaks and some bugs that make the experience worse.

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions is an entertaining boxing game that takes us back to the past with its game mechanics and the well-known characters from the Rocky film saga.

Despite being an experience fans will enjoy, some technical problems hold Aliens: Fireteam Elite from becoming a classic.

The addition of the momentum bar gives a new gaming experience to Madden NFL 22, but it's not an adjustment attractive enough to think EA Tiburon did a solid job. Graphically we have a game worthy of the next generation of consoles, but in practice it fails. It's time to offer a title with better physics instead of default animations.

Cris Tales is a JRPG that is spearheading the Colombian independent scene. Its impeccable graphics, innovative mechanics and unique turn-based combat makes it an unmissable video game.

Boyfriend Dungeon is a dating sim combined with a stereotype-busting dungeon video game. Pitifully, the good script, music and character design contrast with the dungeon design that does not have the same level of quality.

Humankind is an entertaining game, but very challenging to tackle for those who are not used to play strategy games. From the beginning, it assails you with information, and you have to pay close attention to everything to learn quickly. Nevertheless, if you are interested in the genre, it is worth your time.

While this series does not have the popularity that other platforming games have, Psychonauts 2 will undoubtedly be the most fun, unique and memorable platform game you will play in recent years.

The return of the Ace Attorney saga gives us a couple of excellent games with great stories that will put your intellect to the test.

Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut improves all technical aspects in its PlayStation 5 version. Not only on a visual level, but also on loading times and the great use of the DualSense controller. It looks great in 4K, although we must say that the expansion does not have great visual improvements. The Isle of Iki complements the campaign well with a new story that involves some mystical aspects, but these blend well into the plot without making them feel out of place.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 is an entertaining turn-based RPG with a great story and impressive art. The mechanics are accessible, but addictive. Also, there are some Pokémon vibes here.

Greak: Memories of Azur is an interesting metroidvania. It achieves unique gameplay by allowing you to control multiple characters simultaneously to solve puzzles or fight enemies. In addition, graphics and audio stand out among other indie titles.

The best flight simulator has finally arrived on consoles and regardless of your level, you are going to find something challenging or beautiful among the skies. It is technically impressive that this is running on an Xbox Series X. Although it is definitely not the best version, it is a great test of the capabilities of the "most powerful" console on the market.

Thanks to the Mr. X Nightmare DLC, Streets of Rage 4 feels fresher, more challenging and with more options to enjoy a game that already felt complete. The new animations in the added movements and the Survival Mode are such great additions and make this a more robust experience.

Fourteen years ago, The World Ends With You stood out for its great art direction, original battle system and a great and unexpected story. Today the sequel improves the technical aspect, but the battle system is simpler, the narrative twists are no longer unexpected and the characters are not too deep. It's great to be back in Shibuya, just don't expect something as surprising and fresh as the first game.

The value of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD lies beyond its visual presentation. Its quality-of-life improvements, ranging from better camera handling to Joy-Con motion sensors, make this experience more entertaining. Sure, for many moments Skyward Sword feels old and outdated, but it's something worth playing one more time.

This is the best and most attractive installment of a Formula 1 game in recent years. Codemasters has achieved this by building on a 2015 engine, but maybe in a couple of years we will see a truly next generation game that takes advantage of all the good elements that we have today. The future of the franchise is certainly exciting.

Taking inspiration from classic arcade games, the best feature of this short game is the visual presentation. The references to the Looney Tunes franchise are not enough to keep you engaged, even if it lasts less than 2 hours.

The return of Legend of Mana is one that many players will appreciate because it is full of nostalgia, improvements and animations that enhance a beautiful story. However, while the remaster is almost perfect in its presentation, it doesn't have enough quality of life additions to be something that you should play urgently.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a fantastic and fun return to the once acclaimed skating video game series. Despite some flaws in its visual department, the fun and engaging gameplay, paired with the Switch’s ability to be played in portable mode, makes it a must have title for anyone who is looking for a joyful experience, especially on long trips.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is an overpriced videogame in Nintendo Switch. You can easily get bored by its gameplay and simple design. But if you love My Little Pony or the TV Series, you might enjoy this game. The humor is really good.

Guilty Gear Strive is one of the strongest proposals on the fighting genre right now, both in terms of mechanics, sound, plot and visuals.

Even when Scarlet Nexus fulfills its promise to deliver an entertaining combat system and the graphics are worthy of the Xbox Series X, the story lacks of sufficient basis to say it's good. The characters fall under the typical Japanese game cliché and is boring.

As a person who was not alive during the heyday of this video game, I can safely say that it is completely worth it. This remaster brings the best of this classic to a new generation with many improvements that makes it feel new.

It is a pleasant surprise to find in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade a game that takes advantage of the new generation of consoles, in this case, the PS5. The game loads amazingly fast, both the performance and the graphics options look flawless and the Yuffie expansion is an entertaining addition to the product.

Lego: Builder’s Journey is a game that appeals to the creativity of the player. It not only challenges them to solve puzzles, but also to understand a narrative that unfolds in silence. Its game mechanics are remarkably simple and easy to understand. Overall, an entertaining proposal.

Ninja Gaiden Master Collection includes Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. The first two revolutionized the action genre a few years ago, but don't get your hopes up about anything else in this collection. Times have changed and these games were not adjusted, nor polished one bit. And while it might seem that this will please the most purist fans, this is not the case either, as the collection does not contain the first version of each installment.
