This is a surprisingly solid adaptation to much less powerful hardware, that delivers the original vision with very minor compromises.- Vandal

Multiplayer shooter meets deck building in a strange mix that actually works. Fun, intense, and as original in its concept as in its art.- Vandal

There is a great idea behind Q, but the difficulty and its imprecise control make it hard to recommend.- Vandal

Super Wooden GP 2 basically improves everything from the original, so if you enjoyed that one, get ready for an addictive sequel that will keep you glued to the screen.- Vandal

A great retro-style shooter and platformer with authentic presentation and design, featuring well-implemented ideas and accessibility options for everyone, though occasional imprecise controls may lead to moments of frustration. Highly enjoyable and recommended overall.- Vandal

A fun, addictive, and straightforward title with entertaining physics, accessible to all players, albeit with occasional control issues and a notable lack of modes and options, compensated by its highly affordable price.- Vandal

With innovative, demanding, and rewarding combat, 'Worldless' appeals to those who enjoy dense games requiring skill, set in a visually attractive space, though it falls short in classic and somewhat unrefined exploration and platforming elements. However, the game can be unclear, struggling to convey information and empathize with the player.- Vandal

A wild and unclassifiable adventure, this game combines rhythm, puzzles, and cooperative action to constantly surprise with new ideas and a spectacular soundtrack, offering highly varied stages that are particularly enjoyable in cooperative mode; however, some mechanics or their combination may not be entirely convincing, and playing solo can be frustrating, made a bit worse by the inability to skip conversations when replaying stages.- Vandal

Artefacts Studio delivers an entertaining dungeon management game that mixes humor, satire, and classic management elements, but lacks challenge and depth in the long run. It is a fun and attractive game for fans of the genre who are looking for a relaxed and pleasant time, but not for those who seek a demanding and lasting experience.- Vandal

The Descent is a walking simulator of exploration and horror that fails to deliver a satisfying experience due to its simplistic and repetitive gameplay, its poor optimization, and its uninteresting story that is mostly told through notes. The only positive aspects are its good graphics and its tense sound design, but they are not enough to save this disappointing adventure.- Vandal

A visual novel that offers an interesting story with some shocking and grotesque moments, but fails to deliver a satisfying gameplay experience, as it tries to mix RPG and adventure elements that end up being repetitive, boring, and frustrating. The exploration in 2D is more of an obstacle than helpful, and the survival moments are too dependent on luck and trial and error.- Vandal

Sleeper hit Anomaly Agent delivers a humorous cyberpunk action platformer experience with polished art design, accessible combat mechanics, and enjoyable synthwave soundtrack, although it suffers from occasional repetitiveness, especially in boss battles.- Vandal

A metroidvania adventure with immersive atmosphere and slow-paced gameplay, The Mobius Machine offers solid action in labyrinthine maps with a variety of enemies and platforming challenges. Despite minor flaws like delayed map acquisition and floaty jump controls, its striking graphics and sound design enhance the otherworldly experience, making it a noteworthy title in the genre.- Vandal

Blade Prince Academy attempts to blend RTS elements with roguelike dynamics, resource management, and innovative features but falls short in execution, resulting in a gameplay experience that struggles to be enjoyable. The game's cluttered mechanics hinder its potential, making it only recommendable for die-hard genre fans.- Vandal

Combining music and boxing, Beat the Beats for PlayStation VR2 offers enjoyable rhythmic punching gameplay, but falls short due to a lackluster song selection with incomplete versions, limited replay value, and missed opportunities to engage players in improving their performance. Despite solid gameplay mechanics, it fails to match up to similar VR music games, ultimately feeling underwhelming.- Vandal

Chasing the Unseen promises an aesthetic and philosophical journey but falls short due to confusing gameplay mechanics and underdeveloped symbolism. Despite its visually stunning fractal-inspired world and towering monsters, the gameplay fails to deliver a cohesive experience, leaving players frustrated and the intended message unclear. While the game's organic development shows potential, it ultimately struggles to fulfill its ambitious vision.- Vandal

Outward: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch maintains the depth of the original RPG with survival mechanics, offering freedom to explore and engage in various quests. However, visual sacrifices are noticeable, affecting textures and overall graphical fidelity, making it a less immersive experience compared to other platforms. Despite its flaws, it remains a compelling option for RPG enthusiasts on the Switch.- Vandal

Footgun: Underground offers an interesting blend of football and roguelike elements with enjoyable boss battles, yet its repetitive level design and limited enemy variety hinder its overall potential, making it feel static and predictable quickly.- Vandal

The indie horror game, Jack Holmes: Master of Puppets, adds a personal touch to the Resident Evil formula by incorporating a unique amusement park setting with a mix of traditional exploration and varied mini-games. While its macabre atmosphere and diverse gameplay are strengths, the game suffers from some technical issues and lackluster combat mechanics, but overall delivers an unexpectedly enjoyable and entertaining horror experience.- Vandal

The Political Machine 2024 offers a humorous take on the serious subject of politics, allowing players to choose from caricatured versions of real-life candidates and engage in a strategic race for the presidency. Despite its deep gameplay and accurate portrayal of political trends, the game suffers from a chaotic interface and lacks a dynamic tutorial, making it less accessible for newcomers.- Vandal

An unabashed homage to the MSX classic Knightmare 2, Pampas & Selene revitalizes the metroidvania genre with enjoyable combat-focused gameplay, seamless character swapping, and a robust local and online cooperative mode, although its initial controls may feel somewhat clunky.- Vandal

There will be unwary people who get carried away by the tracing, but a tracing is not a fake. To copy well you need an exhaustive knowledge of the reference that Viking Survivors misses, not through its fingers, but like a sieve. Added to zero progression is a lack of brutal content, both in the variety of enemies and skills. Finding reasons to play it is practically impossible for us.- Vandal

The most positive aspect is undoubtedly the improvements in quality of life and controls that Warcraft 1 has received, the game that has benefited the most from this remastering, being the one that most needed these tweaks to be as enjoyable today as its sequels. One way or another and even with its shortcomings, if you like RTS and have never had the opportunity to discover the origins of this iconic saga, here you will find a good option to immerse yourself without complications in the always exciting and fun wars of Azeroth.- Vandal

If you're interested in strategy games, Monarchy should be on your list of upcoming purchases. It's a very simple and short title (we can finish it in less than four hours) that has an attractive artistic aspect as its main attraction. More than for its game modes or for offering something really new, it attracts attention for its addictiveness. In addition, we can get it on Steam for €15, which more than justifies the time of fun it guarantees. Although we would have loved it to have a proper tutorial, we shouldn't have many problems getting the hang of it soon after starting to enjoy it.- Vandal

Beloved Rapture is advertised as a JRPG with existentialist and LGBTQ+ themes, and this is certainly the best thing it offers. However, outside of those circles there is also a lot of value in the proposal, especially in the artistic department, in the main relationship of its protagonists, and in how it plays with nostalgia to attack adult themes without any holds barred. Where it fails is in the ending. It is an experience that goes from more to less and that is tremendously didactic from a narrative point of view. Sometimes this innocence and ambition is more attractive, even if it fails, because it seems more authentic and personal.- Vandal

This reimagining of Snow Bros. blends nostalgic snowball mechanics with a new 3D design, local co-op, and light puzzles, offering a family-friendly experience. However, it lacks the charm and excitement of classic arcade gameplay due to simple maps and less dynamic action.- Vandal
