Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a very special bundle that brings to life one of the most beloved games from the era of the first PlayStation. The problem here is that this is a title, like many others of the 32-bit generation, did not age very well. It has a lot of quality of life improvements, and though the characters look beautiful it feels old. Of course, reviving Radical Dreamers was the best decision Square Enix ever made.

Reigns: The Witcher brings the series' signature gameplay into Geralt's universe with a simple system that proves highly entertaining, though it can also fall into repetition rather quickly.

Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is not a revolution in visual novels. However, its intricate narrative and dark plot show that Nintendo caters to all kinds of audiences beyond its most popular franchises. It has good technical aspects and a Spanish translation, and it is recommended for fans of the genre, those seeking a dark story, or anime enthusiasts.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame takes advantage of the haptic feedback on the PS5 Dualsense controller. Thanks to this, players will feel the tension of racing on a sports bike. It might not look like a next-gen game, but fans will embrace the game thanks to its gameplay mechanics.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 looks and feels modern, with more agile combat and an extra chapter in Dark Ties that shines thanks to its cinematics and the style of Mine. However, the remake comes at a cost. A cleaner atmosphere, recycled minigames, mandatory activities that disrupt pacing, and a new style so strong that it reduces the challenge. It also features cuts and casting choices that feel distracting. It is a great package, but an uneven one. For veterans, some rewrites may feel heavy. For newcomers, it is the most accessible route.

The games in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 stand the test of time. They remain delightful. However, for the price, Konami should make a more significant effort to preserve these games. Still, it will surely be desirable to fans with its addition of concept art and documents about creating these gems.

Crisol: Theater of Idols delivers a survival experience that feels unique while still borrowing from other titles in the genre. However, thanks to its distinctive mechanics and a truly well crafted art direction, it stands out as a very entertaining odyssey with a distinctly Spanish flair.

Although Super Robot Wars Y does not reinvent the tactical RPG formula, it refines it with mastery. Its combination of robust strategy, updated visual presentations, and iconic roster provides sufficient strength to rank among the best recent entries. Even players unfamiliar with all represented franchises will find value in the progression curve, level design, and attention to detail. For veterans, every cameo, animation, and narrative crossover functions as a tribute to the mecha genre.

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.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is a game with a simple appearance; however, it has a high degree of replayability and very challenging levels. The gameplay mechanic of using costumes makes the experience versatile. The environments, boss battles, and adventure development are very well executed. We may have a straightforward video game, but less means having more entertainment.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is an excellent way to get into this alternate saga. Its fun and addictive gameplay is still there, although it also becomes more noticeable how confusing these games could be and the lack of innovation in the latest entries of the series.

Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is a video game that presents a concept of time as charming as all the installments in that narrative thread, but it does not inspire much more than that. Its detailed environments are dull and tiresome. They do not captivate the player but allow you to have a good time amidst echoes that initially seem ideal but wear out quickly.

With The Quarry, Supermassive Games gives the player a good horror experience that captures your imagination and keeps you glued to the controller. Not to mention that it invites you to play again and again to save all its protagonists to get the ultimate achievement.

Harvestella takes us on an adventure of significant proportions. It is full of creativity, many mysteries, and a colorful cast. It also shows us how fun the simplicity of everyday life can be when you take care of a farm, explore diverse places, and relate to other people. It might be a complicated formula, but this game successfully manages to create, although only with a couple of hiccups.

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.

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

LEGO 2K Drive is a very entertaining video game full of things to do that constantly reward the player. However, the simplicity of its gameplay and the little challenge of its races could diminish its appeal in the long term. However, building your vehicles is undoubtedly a complete addition capable of hooking multiple players.

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.

Outriders gives players that innovation that lately seems to be fading away from video games, at least on a mechanical level, since the narrative ends up being flat and unappealing. In its more than 25 hours of campaign you will experience moments that will put you to the test, and they are really worth living, but we must say that the post-game is not so interesting.

EA Sports NHL 26 delivers a rich, challenging, and deeply realistic experience. It stands as the premier ice hockey simulator available on the market. Yet it faces certain issues. The initial difficulty and the lack of learning tools may discourage new players, while microtransactions continue to cast a shadow over competitive modes.

GRID Legends opted this time to innovate with a story mode that feels somewhat unnecessary. However, it is important to mention that the game did not neglect any of the other aspects that make up a very attractive package for any fan of the genre and a great entry point for the curious and younger drivers.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure features a very good story that kicks off with a strong start. Its climax will make you want to replay the game multiple times. The English voice acting is fantastic, and the narrative is outstanding. It's a great work worth enjoying from beginning to end, uncovering all its secrets.

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.

Layers of Fear is a canvas full of perspectives, and its setting is exemplary. From the sound to the visual section, the impression it can cause is enjoyable and satisfactory. However, everything is very predictable regarding gameplay mechanics, and although this is okay, the developer could improve this section.

MLB The Show 26 maintains the solid foundation of one of the most consistent sports franchises on the market, with refined gameplay, extensive customization options, and a comprehensive selection of modes. However, its lack of innovation, performance issues in the interface and online play, along with a visual presentation that no longer impresses, make this installment feel more like an iterative update than a true leap forward for the series.

The reality is that Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is an experience for a particular audience. While the presentation and formats are casual, this challenge is not for average gamers. Of course, it's an extraordinary workshop for understanding how speedruns work, but that's all. There is no game preservation. It's more about giving a new presentation to a concept you already know, which can be entertaining for a while.
