Simogo, a small Swedish studio known for innovation, follows up on their success with Sayonara Wild Hearts with Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, a captivating puzzle adventure set in a mysterious hotel. Despite occasional frustrating puzzles and cumbersome interface, its artistic brilliance and complex, varied challenges make it a standout in the puzzle genre.- Vandal

A faithful yet modern reimagining of a strategy RPG classic that refines combat balance, adds new quality-of-life options, and features beautiful updated visuals while maintaining its tactical depth and strong narrative; however, the absence of a Spanish translation and PSP-exclusive content slightly tarnish an otherwise excellent revival.- Vandal

Everything fans may expect. A frantic and incredibly fun multiplayer with tons of options, game modes and unlockables, and also very well polished, and an intense campaign that concludes a story which started with Modern Warfare four years ago.

FIFA 13 is the most realistic and complete football game available, full of content to keep us busy till the end of the season. It looks for imperfection in every match –when controlling the ball, shooting, passing, etc.– in order to bring an experience closer to real football, something that some players might not like, even though we consider it's a fresh addition to the gameplay. Once again, the football game we would recommend.- Vandal

A psychological horror narrative adventure that forgoes combat and jump scares in favor of atmospheric tension and well-written dialogues, enhanced by its PS1-style visuals and glitch-like transitions.

The unexpected gem from Tango Gameworks, Hi-Fi Rush, hits PlayStation 5 with its addictive gameplay, delightful presentation, and plenty of humor. Its rhythmic combat system, though initially challenging, adds depth and excitement to battles, while the incorporation of DualSense features enhances immersion without being intrusive.
