    Twelve Minutes manages to do something much more complicated than it seems: bring an innovative idea to fruition. Its plot, with surprising script twists and told at a very good pace, is actively developed by the player, who has to carefully measure the interactions between objects, the conversations they have and their actions within a time-loop structure based on in the acquisition of knowledge in each attempt. All this in a very accessible game except for some situation that requires an unclear interaction, one of its few black points along with the small technical errors that occur in a fantastic audiovisual section. The first work that Luis Antonio signs as an independent developer is one of those games that have the privilege of staying in our memory.

    Never a game has been closer in capturing Spider-Man essence, and that is a remarkable feat.

    Set in mid-19th century Japan, Rise of the Ronin offers an intriguing historical backdrop with solid combat mechanics and engaging side missions. However, its open-world design feels uninspired, lacking meaningful exploration and offering repetitive optional activities. Nevertheless, the game shines in its intense and satisfying combat system, which provides a thrilling samurai experience despite its shortcomings in world-building.

    Pikuniku is a fantastic adventure full of puzzles and exploration. It’s unexpectedly engaging, and even it’s only January, it already is one of our indies of the year.

    It’s an interesting experience, hindered by the lack of information the game provides about it. The ingredients are good, but it needs more seasoning.

    Guitar Hero focuses on a loyal public, but limited to certain ranges. Band Hero broadens the public offering a repertory rich and varied enough to attract anyone.

    The game offers that experience you can expect from good shooters, but without that complexity. The thing is it is very limited, and the contents and modes are not enough to support its ideas.

    Musou fans have a great choice here, since it offers a dynamic game with a deep gameplay. Those who might not even know what a 'musou' is have also an accessible game we're sure they are going to have fun with.

    This episode is meant to connect the first and the third ones, so many of the events and actions here are not as decisive as we could expect, but still, it's a part of the story we cannot miss.

    We have had a great time with Get it Together!, a new entry that manages to successfully refresh the series while keeping it true to itself.

    Hard Corps: Uprising really justifies its name "hard". It has a lot of variety in its situations and very direct action, but everything is conditioned by its almost exasperating difficulty level, which makes this game only recommended for the most seasoned players.

    A pleasant surprise that blends elements from classic and current platforming games and achieves great results. It may result in a short, or too easy game for expert players, but its gameplay is delightful.

    If you miss that retro feeling, Panzer Paladin is a game you must play. The controls are tight, the level design is solid and it is a lot of fun. It might look too much NES-ish, but some will find that charming.

    Motorfest a game full of content, with good ideas and plenty of things to experience, but gameplay-wise it feels a bit bland and lacks personality.

    We've really enjoyed how Klaus is constantly changing its gameplay features so it always surprises the player. Klaus tries too hard to be different sometimes, but it's usually a great experience.

    The foundation for Gigantic is great. Good gameplay, fun and visually appealing, but the lack of content is holding it back, so we'll have to wait and see how this promising experience evolves.

    It's short and quite simple, but it's also very well designed, and holds great ideas and great puzzles. A game you shouldn't miss if you like this genre.

    It has some ideas, design-wise, that won't enjoy many players, although some others might love them. Make sure you understand its peculiarities because, if you're ok with them, you can find a fun, challenging and very special game here.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a sequel with few new features and a notorious technical stagnation. But the new features are remarkable, specially the multiplayer online combats, which boosts replayability.

    Just correct as an adaptation, even though the quality of the games is as good as the originals were.

    JYDGE is fun, offers a lot of replayability and adds a great coop mode. It's not unforgettable, but it's definitely enjoyable.

    This is an interesting interactive drama with a solid script, where decisions matter and the multiplayer is well integrated, even if sometimes it struggles with the interactions and its narrative.

    The minigames that take advantage of mouse mode are notable, and we would have liked to see more that took advantage of the camera and microphone. Despite all this, it's a highly recommended game, as if it was already comprehensive, it's even more so now, adding a touch of experimentation and novelty especially suitable for those who haven't tried the game (or want to expand it, which may also be worthwhile). If you want a long-lasting, high-quality party game, this is the spot you should definitely check out.

    If you’re looking for a puzzle-based adventure with a touch of platforming, this is your game. It’s great for co-op too, but it can be played on your own as well.

    Story of Seasons is one of the best Harvest Moon games we've played. It's one of those game you can spend months playing, and one you don't want to miss if you like what it has to offer.
