Darkest Dungeon 2 is a different bet from the first title, a game that allows itself to be cradled by the most mainstream roguelike while maintaining what made the first installment so unique and so difficult. Its proposal is very different and that is why the value of this sequel skyrockets.

Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition is a remaster that few asked for, but it offers good technical improvements, adds new content and brings us a little closer to Beyond Good & Evil 2. If you have never played it you should give it a try and if you did, it never hurts to enjoy it again if you are a fan of the saga.

The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road is a solid expansion, but not risky and less inspiring than High Isle or Necrom. The celebration for the 10th anniversary of the MMORPG could have been something different to surprise fans. However, the successes and new adventures are still present.

Monster Hunter Stories and Stories 2 are coming to new platforms to offer two great classic RPG adventures. The first game improves on a technical level, although it feels aged next to its sequel. There's not too much new content, but if you've never played... This is the best opportunity to do so.

76 / 100 - F1 24
May 28, 2024

F1 24 is too much of a continuity and there wouldn't be as much of a problem if it hadn't tinkered with a physics and handling system that now feels worse than the last installment. The considerable improvement of the career mode is a positive thing, although the lack of other new features leaves us with a solid game, but without major incentives.

80 / 100 - XDefiant
May 22, 2024

xDefiant has some of that classic Call of Duty that many fans have been asking for years, but it also manages to add small gameplay tweaks to deliver a fresh, addictive and fun FPS experience. It falls short in terms of launch content, but Ubisoft already has its sights set to hit the bullseye.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a new hit for the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts. This narrative mystery adventure catches you at the first sign of change and forces you to step out of your comfort zone to face all kinds of puzzles full of imagination.

Braid Anniversary Edition is the definitive version of a play that everyone should play once in a lifetime. If you want to know the secrets behind the development of the game, this edition is what you are looking for, despite not being a very extensive remaster in terms of playable novelties.

70 / 100 - MotoGP 24
May 3, 2024

MotoGP 24 left me the same as MotoGP 23. This new installment continues to generate the same genuine enjoyment at the controls thanks to its polished gameplay, but its novelties feel superficial and even a bit lazy. There is hardly any innovation beyond small additions. Why change bikes if everything feels the same?

88 / 100 - Sea of Thieves
Apr 29, 2024

Not all treasures are made of gold and silver. Sea of Thieves lands on PlayStation 5 proving once again that this co-op pirate adventure is that experience that many seek, but few find. It's not a perfect game, but I wish everyone could get on board with this boat.

Another Crab's Treasure is a simple action game, but one that plays its cards intelligently, letting it go wild with some crazy and original ideas. It's not going to blow your mind with its approach and its technical flaws don't help either, but it's the nicest souslike you're going to play in your life.

Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes is a great journey back to the golden age of the JRPG and a tribute to all the good things Suikoden gave us. With nostalgia as its flag, this game manages to overcome its lack of innovation to deliver a great adventure that will take you back to simpler times.

78 / 100 - Harold Halibut
Apr 15, 2024

Harold Halibut gives shape to an attractive story led by a protagonist who manages to surprise the player. The magnificent handcrafted art section accompanies this good script, but at times its approach becomes somewhat heavy in terms of gameplay. Here's a good narrative adventure that could have aspired to be so much more.

If you're not careful with a sharp katana, you risk cutting yourself. Luckily, Rise of the Ronin unsheathes itself with a sublime combat and a very attractive story for lovers of the most samurai Japan. There are significant shortcomings, but Team Ninja makes a much more precise cut than imagined with this ambitious game.

85 / 100 - Unicorn Overlord
Mar 7, 2024

Vanillaware once again delivers a very special product that does not show signs of fatigue within a genre that has experienced a "boom" in recent years. Unicorn Overlord is gigantic and manages to stand out based on quality and ambition, although it could have spun something finer in some points in order to become a more original proposal.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth tells a very bold and ambitious story that is faithful but isn't afraid to fix something that isn't broken.

69 / 100 - Skull and Bones
Feb 19, 2024

Skull and Bones isn't an unmitigated disaster, but it ends up throwing a lot of its potential overboard. The problem isn't that it's a game-as-a-service, but that its design falls short. It has highlights and good ideas that make it enjoyable, but if this is AAAA, then let Davy Jones drag us all into the abyss.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a nice remake of one of the most special and fun games in Nintendo history. The graphical and sound revamp and the co-op mode are fantastic. It may lack some incentive for veterans, but this game is a treat if you've never tried the original.
