    Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
    Disgaea 3 is currently one of the greatest strategic RPG games, with a very fun story, a combat system which fans will love, and a more than exquisite gameplay. Not only that, the game is a very long and replayable one, above all for players which want to squeeze the 100% of it. Unfortunately, and this is one of the things that could undermine buyers -apart from the visuals-, Disgaea 3 is fully en English, and not exactly an easy one. It is a pity it has not been localized to Spanish at all.

    Pandora's Tower
    Playing it makes us remember classics like Castlevania or even Ico, but Pandora's Tower has a strong and charming personality and it is a pleasant surprise. It will engage and entertain most players, especially those who are looking for an adventure like this one, but other players may find the game a bit repetitive.

    Pac-Man World 2: Re-PAC
    Now Production delivers a colorful, charming remake that updates visuals, controls, and level design while keeping the joyful essence of the original intact; although the camera still causes issues and difficulty spikes remain, the Fairy Mode and numerous improvements make it a polished and accessible 3D platformer worth revisiting.

    Timberborn
    This surprising lumberpunk simulator delivers an addictive city-building experience through its unique verticality and deep water management mechanics. The distinct factions add significant variety to survival strategy, yet a frustrating lack of tutorials for complex systems hinders accessibility. Despite some underdeveloped features like district management, it remains a refreshingly original and polished post-apocalyptic challenge.

    Citadelum
    Citadelum delivers an engaging old-school strategy experience, expertly leveraging Switch 2's innovative mouse mode. Its addictive gameplay and strong historical atmosphere make it a true "time-sink." Although its functional mechanics might lack depth for genre veterans and some graphical hiccups persist, the intuitive controls and clear vision provide immense entertainment.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season Episode 1: Done Running

    RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army
    This remaster shines thanks to its many gameplay improvements, visual enhancements, quality-of-life updates, and full Spanish localization, although its simplistic investigation mechanics and occasional repetition in demon interactions reveal its dated roots; still, it's a charming, accessible introduction to a lighter side of the Shin Megami Tensei universe.

    Quantum Break
    Quantum Break is a great game, but not the groundbreaking experience you might expect from Remedy. It's so focused on the story that usually forgets about gameplay, not taking advantage of the good ideas its playable core is built upon. But don't get us wrong: Quantum Break is a very enjoyable game, with great moments and solid storytelling, but also feels like a missed opportunity for Remedy to make something better than their previous works.

    You Will Die Here Tonight
    A title that pleasantly surprised us with its well-executed homage to classic Resident Evil, introducing new elements seamlessly, and resolving combat exceptionally well. While some designed-to-kill moments may be bothersome and the lack of translation is a drawback, we recommend it to those seeking an experience akin to classic Resident Evil with some changes and a more condensed format.
