A solid tribute to classic SRPGs with strategic turn-based combat and a compelling narrative for fans of the franchise, but it suffers from slow pacing, a lack of innovation, and the absence of Spanish localization.- Vandal

Destiny Connect is not a bad game, but it fails to offer anything appealing or interesting for the player, and it gets monotonous quite quickly. It might be a good option for younger players, but they would be able to find better alternatives as well.- Vandal

A great idea ruined by poor controls and a bad level design. The concept has been proven right many times before, but this time it needs extra polishing.- Vandal

Lord of the Rings Conquest succeeds in bringing Tolkien's fans a solid videogame, with intense action and a good representation of battles. But there is a strong difference between playing it multiplayer and single player, less fun than the former. Solo players should think twice the purchase.- Vandal

Foamstars attempts to capture the essence of Splatoon with its colorful design and unique mechanics but falls short due to lackluster execution and an aggressive microtransaction system. While it offers some enjoyable moments, especially in cooperative squad mode, its gameplay loop feels frustrating and its pay-to-win elements detract from the overall experience.- Vandal

A bad port, done without effort and rushed. There's little use of the Wii U exclusive features and the frame-rate drops below 20 without reason. You'll get used to that and enjoy the great game behind it, but we recommend playing in on another platform.- Vandal

It lives by the rules of the classic graphic adventure, which is great for those who enjoy the good old games of the genre, even though that also means that some aspects of the game might be consider negative by those who prefer newer adventures. Still, a great game.- Vandal

A good game, despite its flaws. It has good ideas and is a type of game we rarely see in consoles, and even less frequently in portable ones, but it gets repetitive soon. If you are looking for something different this is a game for you, with a charming personality. But it is not perfect, and the only really memorable aspect is its great soundtrack.- Vandal
