Civilization VII is a turning point in the saga. The new features, such as the Eras or the choice of leader and civilization significantly modify the gameplay. They need adjustments, but the approach is interesting. What is not justified is the lack of a clear user interface. I recommend it, but it must be understood that it is an installment that breaks with the previous more than one believes at first.

Keep Driving seems to me one of the most unique and original indies that have come out in recent years. It's an RPG adventure that surprises, not only because of the mechanics, but because of the random events that can happen on your journey. Play it, because it's a gem that deserves attention.

While Waiting follows in the wake of games like Unpacking or A Little to the Left and gamifies something as everyday as waiting. It's a game that tests your patience and can be overcome without you doing literally nothing, but it also invites you to experiment and interact with the environment. It's a relaxing and niche game, but I think if you liked those two I mentioned, you'll like this one.

The Stone of Madness is a brave and daring game, with a stealth-based gameplay that works really well. Its level design and the synergies that are created between the characters you control are its great value, but some bugs and excessive severity in certain moments tarnish the final result a bit. Even so, it is a very enjoyable videogame that uses the Spanish culture very well.

I'm still thinking about Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. It traps you mercilessly in its universe, thanks to its script and setting. The new gameplay features are great and it deepens the narrative of the universe, creating a more cohesive and credible world, which transcends even the Sleeper protagonist. If you like role-playing and board games, it is for you, although it is not in Spanish.

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders changes the bike for skis and the result is a tremendously fun game, with precise control and surprising physics. It is true that it is too similar to Downhill in its core (tracks and approach) and that it lacks some content, but I can't hide from you that I had a great time and I'm still looking for trophies. You'll have fun.

After playing Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, I fully understand why many consider it one of the best platformers ever. It simply deserves that distinction: great level design, lots of secrets, high difficulty, lots of content and fun mechanics. Although Nintendo doesn't seem to have put too much effort into this version, it's a great game and I highly recommend it.

Blade Chimera proves that Team Ladybug is a sure thing in metroidvania action videogames. It is an agile, entertaining game, with mechanics that surprise, especially for the use of Lumina, the demonic sword. The setting is cool and, although the story is predictable, it's hard to find any buts to a job well done. If you are a fan of these titles, I recommend it.

Alien: Rogue Incursion has surprised me for the better and is the perfect culmination to a great year of virtual reality video games. The game has a metroidvania approach and creates an atmosphere of terror and danger that gets you right into the action. Although the final part is a bit tedious and the game only tells the first part of a bigger story, I totally recommend it, especially if you are a fan of the saga.

Skydance's BEHEMOTH is a real madness when it comes to face the Behemoth. The game shines in those key moments and they will stick in your memory forever. It's also very good at presenting a linear adventure that has enough secrets and hidden riddles to keep you gripped, but it overuses too much of normal combat that doesn't add much. Its big problem, though, is that it lacks more battles against the Behemoth, 4 are too few.

Symphonia is a very entertaining precision platformer that uses music to create a unique gameplay. It is very varied and original in its proposal, and will make you spend 4-5 hours very good. An upstart in the genre that I recommend you to play.

The House of Da Vinci VR is a very good puzzle game and you will have fun solving Leonardo's riddles. Graphically it's great and it's a very interactive title, although the VR mechanics can be improved. Still, it is very enjoyable.

Neon Blood enters through the eyes, thanks to its outstanding visuals. However, the puzzles and the story are not at the same level, and the game lacks consistency. The setting is brilliant and you can spend 4-5 hours entertaining, but there are elements that could be improved.

Loco Motive is a point & click with a classic flavor, although it is adapted to current times. Its visuals are superb, the characters are well written, it has humor everywhere and the puzzles are fun, but the main story is too predictable. Still, if you are a fan of the genre, you will enjoy it.

Trombone Champ: Unflattened shows that Flat2VR Studios has tremendous potential ahead of it. The flat version went viral, but this VR adaptation makes the game even better. But, beware, don't be confused: it's made from scratch, it's not a port to use. It is a fantastic music and rhythm video game with a lot of humor that, honestly, you must have in your library yes or yes.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is surprising for being so anti-climactic in 2024. It respects the original so much that there are details that become hard from start to finish, but it doesn't matter. When you get into it you understand that its greatness lies in its imperfections and its toughness. It is a JRPG of those that are no longer made. You have to play it.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a great sequel and a very good evolution of the original. A renewed graphics and a much improved UI dress a game that maintains the structure seen in the prequel, but delves into new mechanics and the complexity of the puzzles. I liked the story even more, so I can only recommend you to go for it. There aren't many games like this.

Metal Slug Tactics is a curious video game, which brings the roguelike to tactical strategy games with turn-based combat. The gameplay in the battles shines, but the roguelike section has not convinced me. Even so, it is a fantastic adaptation of the saga to a new genre and that opens many possibilities.

Metro Awakening is, directly, one of the best virtual reality video games ever made. It is a Metro with all the letters and a perfect tribute to the first installments of the saga. The setting is brutal, the story is good, the level design and exploration hook anyone, and the graphics will leave you speechless. You have to play it.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is a very interesting homage to the Castlevania saga, but the important thing is that the new characters and weapons fit great in VS. I highlight above all the new stage, which is a blast and is the biggest in the game. By the way, the DLC is bigger than they say... And that's as far as I can read.
