The Operator has been a little surprise that we really liked. An interesting, well-designed, fun and different game that, despite its short duration and how predictable the script is at certain points, has given us a great time solving ingenious puzzles and unraveling the mysteries of its story. If you like these types of stories, test your deduction skills, and are looking for something that you can finish in one sitting, don't hesitate to give it a try.- Vandal

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is not exactly the most original roguelite that we can find, but it is a very entertaining title that manages to make us have a good time as long as we like the license and the genre, especially if we have friends to enjoy it in company, having here its main attraction, something to which we must add well-executed combats and balanced and thoughtfully designed progression systems. Yes, it is not free from a series of problems that prevent it from achieving greatness, such as the lack of variety of rooms, enemies and events that it boasts or the inexplicable absence of matchmaking for its online mode, but if its defects do not They represent a great nuisance and you are passionate about Ninja Turtles, here you have a purchase option to take into account.- Vandal

We hope that, in a hypothetical sequel, intelligent and well-designed levels will be the norm and not the exception, since we like everything before us, but the execution is not up to par. We don't believe that a game of these genres should necessarily be challenging, but it should be stimulating, and, unfortunately, SCHiM remains a pretty uninspired journey.- 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

Capcom expands Monster Hunter Stories beyond its 3DS origins, now reaching PS4, Switch, and PC, offering an enhanced RPG experience with improved visuals and additional content, though the simplicity of its combat and story may feel somewhat dated compared to its superior sequel.- Vandal

Die by the Blade captures the essence of Bushido Blade with its lethal combat and limb-targeting mechanics, offering a unique blend of strategy akin to soulslike games, though it lacks key aspects of any combat style, such as depth and longevity. The game's realism in weapon-based combat shines through intense duels, yet its brief matches undermine strategic potential, and this, together with its lack of content, makes it hard to recommend.- Vandal

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD retains its charm and humor with its ghost-busting adventure across haunted mansions, offering solid gameplay and level design. While it excels in visuals and controls on the Switch, it lacks new content additions from its original 3DS release.- Vandal

FromSoftware once again proves its mastery with 'Shadow of the Erdtree,' an expansion that excels in level design and boss battles, though it suffers from technical issues like performance drops and excessive popping.- Vandal

Still Wakes the Deep is an entertaining game from start to finish, without any filler, and audiovisually very good, which takes us to an original setting to tell us a more than well-known story. Taking into account that as a walking simulator or narrative adventure it relies completely on what it tells, we believe that the story is not strong enough to support all the weight, and relies too much on an ending that we found very good to be able to justify its existence. This does not mean that we had a great time, and we enjoyed the almost six hours that it lasted, especially thanks to a very successful ending that knows how to close to leave a very good taste in our mouths.- Vandal

Swarm Grinder offers a compelling roguelite experience set on an alien planet, featuring intense combat and resource management against hordes of varied enemies. Despite its engaging gameplay loop and substantial updates post early access, its visual presentation feels underwhelming compared to genre peers.- Vandal

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has surprised us with its ambition. It is a gigantic revision that practically duplicates the contents of the base game and improves it in many different ways to make this role-playing adventure a much more polished and rounded experience that will delight both those who already enjoyed it in its day and those who are dare to discover it now for the first time. If you like the genre and you want a challenging, deep work, with a unique level design, with a fascinating art direction, with a luxury soundtrack and with a combat system full of possibilities, don't hesitate and give it a try.- Vandal

V Rising blends survival, exploration, and action RPG elements in a vampire-themed world where gameplay mechanics shine despite a narrative that feels secondary. It excels in its engaging combat system and deep crafting mechanics, while offering both solo and cooperative gameplay options, although it lacks narrative depth and has limited decorative choices.- Vandal

F1 24 delivers enjoyable arcade-style driving mechanics with improved car handling and noticeable tire wear effects, yet disappoints with AI aggression and the absence of accidents during races. Despite technical upgrades and a robust Career mode, its annual release cycle results in less content and lingering issues like long loading times.- Vandal

Hauntii blends twin-stick shooter gameplay with exploration and puzzles, offering a serene yet engaging experience. Positives include its unique possession mechanic and stunning artistic direction, while drawbacks lie in predictable star locations.

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

Tactical strategy meets RPG elements in Capes, a game that leans heavily on superhero tropes to build its own world. While it excels in tactical combat and synergy between heroes, its lack of mission variety and limited hero customization hold it back from true greatness.- Vandal

Isles of Sea and Sky presents a charmingly nostalgic 8-bit graphical style reminiscent of classic Zelda games, featuring intricate Sokoban-style puzzles spread across various islands. While its artistic presentation and puzzle complexity are highlights, the game suffers from occasional frustration due to unclear progression requirements and cumbersome navigation.- Vandal

Nightdive Studios revitalized the iconic System Shock, maintaining its classic charm with updated visuals and gameplay refinements. It faithfully blends old-school simplicity with modern lighting effects and detailed enemy models. Despite some menu navigation challenges on consoles, the game offers a solid 60 FPS experience. The latest updates enhance the final battle mechanics and introduce a playable female hacker, reinforcing its legacy as a foundational immersive sim.- Vandal

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
