Mafia: The Old Country is like opening an old bottle of Sicilian wine: the flavor is intense, familiar, and comforting, but you notice that time has left it with a touch of age. It shines in its setting, characters, and leisurely narrative, but it resists modernizing its gameplay, remaining a game that will delight lovers of the genre and mafia stories, while leaving those looking for something more wanting more.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound has a retro feel, but it's a fresh game made by people who aren't afraid to try something new. The result is a fast-paced, precise, and demanding experience that runs like clockwork and doesn't seek to reinvent anything, but rather to remind us why we love gaming: for the well-paced action, the precise controls, and that satisfaction that only comes when everything clicks into place.

Jul 31, 2025

Dear me, I was... doesn't want you to play, it wants you to feel. It's more of a visual poem than a video game. It lasts barely a moment, but it can leave your heart in your mouth. Its gameplay is almost non-existent, but if you're drawn to intimate stories that speak of everyday life with brutal sensitivity, this little story can leave a lasting impression.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a hilarious proposition and a missed opportunity. The new features are refreshing, the mini-games shine with the Switch 2 features, and some modes like Frenzy Fair are awesome, but it's hard to understand why Nintendo has chosen to split the experience in two instead of unifying it.

Jul 15, 2025

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a somewhat lackluster celebration of a series with a lot of charm. The first game feels like an experiment, but Patapon 2 is a marvel of rhythm and strategy. It's a shame that the opportunity wasn't taken to fix some of the bugs they have. It's a compilation with a couple of new features to make them more accessible and little else, but they're a lot of fun. The second one is a marvel.

RAIDOU Remastered has pleasantly surprised me. Its real-time combat, its setting in 1930s Japan, and its fast pace make it a unique and highly enjoyable JRPG, even with the limitations inherent to a PS2 game. I hope we see modern installments of this sub-series.

Ruffy and the Riverside is an original adventure that stands out for its texture copying mechanics, but it fails to shine due to several details that weigh down the experience. Although its approach is varied and creative, the excessive presence of puzzles compared to platforming, a very poor Spanish translation, and an unattractive interface detract from the overall experience.

Recommended - Rematch
Jun 20, 2025

Rematch is a breath of fresh air in soccer games, with a fun, fast-paced arcade style and lots of potential. But it's also a demanding game, with complex controls and a steep learning curve. Plus, the lack of cross-play and various bugs detract from its brilliance in other areas. If you're willing to overlook some issues and put in the time, you'll end up hooked.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a unique offering that stands out more as an educational and informative experience than as a traditional video game. Its mini-games are adequate without being dazzling, but the real value lies elsewhere. It's not an essential title, but it is a very entertaining way to get to know your new console inside out.

Jun 3, 2025

Blades of Fire does not want to please everyone. And that is precisely what makes it so special. It is a brave game that asks for patience and returns immersion, discovery and a sense of adventure that is no longer in style. If you are willing to let yourself be swept away by its proposal, it may mark you, but its virtue is also, sometimes, defect.

Recommended - Monster Train 2
May 28, 2025

Monster Train 2 looks just like the original, but it's not: it takes the playable base of the original and elevates it in a way I didn't expect, with new clans, synergies, new cards with a great impact and several mechanics that update the formula. The result is a funnier, crazier and more visceral game that ranks among the best of the genre. It's a vice.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master has left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it has one of the best maps I've seen in a car game and it's entertaining, but, on the other hand, it fails in key aspects: the AI is disastrous, the tests lose interest quickly, and the story is weak and falls into clichés that are redundant. It is a game of contrasts. Even so, I recommend it for being different and unique in the current panorama.

Recommended - The Precinct
May 13, 2025

The Precinct is a fresh and very entertaining proposal that makes you feel like a real cop in a chaotic city full of dangers. Its patrol system, the varied crimes and the eighties atmosphere work great and hook you from the first moment. However, the missions are uninspired and repetitive. Even so, it is an original alternative to the usual sandbox.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the return in style of one of the most influential RPGs of the last two decades. It is true that it drags some limitations of its original design and that it needs a better optimization, but the graphics are incredible and the changes in the gameplay are much deeper than it seems. Classic role-playing, but good role-playing.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an unforgettable RPG, with a brilliant combat system, a powerful story and a visually unique world. It not only delivers what it promises: it surpasses it in almost everything. If you like demanding RPGs, with soul, personality and good taste, this is one of those titles you won't forget.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree stands out because it makes different genres work in one game. It's an ARPG and metroidvania that engages with its direct combat and character customization. If you like to explore, improve your character and fight, here you have a solid, long and very enjoyable adventure.

The Talos Principle: Reawakened is a fantastic facelift, with just enough additions, but with impact. Perhaps gamers who own the original won't feel the need to jump for it, but if you're a big fan or have never played it, it's a must-have for your library. Its puzzles are brilliant, but its narrative side resonates even more in 2025 than in 2014 and is worth getting lost in the story.

Apr 3, 2025

Koira is an experience that appeals directly to the emotions. It is a short adventure, but it is loaded with sensitivity and message. Beyond its simple puzzles or some mechanics that could have been developed further, what remains is a story that reflects on friendship, care and connection with nature. It will captivate you especially if you have pets.

Apr 1, 2025

Look Outside has been one of the most unexpected and stimulating surprises of this 2025. Its proposal, between turn-based RPG and survival horror, works thanks to a suffocating atmosphere, a grotesque and imaginative visual design and a gameplay structure that rewards exploration and experimentation. It's special, you have to play it.

While I would have liked a more noticeable improvement in graphics and fluidity, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a JRPG you can't pass up. It's a blast to play and now it's more enjoyable than ever with some fantastic quality of life improvements. It can't miss in your Nintendo Switch catalog.
