9 / 10.0 - FIFA 22
Sep 27, 2021

‎I am very happy with this new installment. FIFA 22 introduces us to the biggest gameplay change for years to bring more realism to a game mode that although it does not need it, if it brings it closer to the sport from which it is nourished. Whether the changes are positive or negative will also help the time and opinion that is formed throughout the season. But that we have to learn again to play and to look for ingenuity and strategies with which to succeed again in the game modes I see something positive.‎

9 / 10.0 - Sifu
Feb 6, 2022

‎In summary I can tell you that without me being a big fan of the beat 'em up genre I can not stop recommending this game. Not only for its excellent staging and for its original progression system. If not for being a title where you yourself are your greatest enemy and where it is possible that you get hooked to want to improve and improve until you become a master with the command. As with souls, you feel good when you manage to eliminate a boss or complete an area without suffering damage as you had planned. The word is gratifying. The game is Sifu.‎

Is more better? In this case for me it is not, Horizon Forbidden West is still an outstanding game, that nobody doubts it, but it failed to take a step further. If you liked the first installment this you will possibly enjoy the same or more. However I miss that he has sinned of little ambition and did not want to go for bigger goals, I blindly believe that Aloy and Guerrilla were well capable of it. It has the potential to be that SS3.

Dead Space Remake preserves and improves the sensations of the 2008 installment and brings back to the front one of the best survival-horror of the last 20 years. A remake that besides being a nice facelift introduces some playable mechanics and nuances in a certain way the original work to improve it.

Horizon Call of the Mountains is an incredible title to test the potential of the PS VR2. The immersion that the game achieves thanks to its setting and its graphic level is incredible. In addition, the mechanics that it incorporates such as climbing or the use of the bow, make you enjoy from your home and feel inside each battle. A game that generates very positive sensations and that also does not settle for being a technical demo, but aspires to be a weight game, being even sometimes more ambitious than the deliveries we know in some of its areas.

FIFA 19 on Nintendo Switch offers an experience almost on par with the other versions of the game. This version's visuals are kind of weak on TV mode, however, it also proves to be enough when playing on handheld mode. Furthermore, it features all of the available options for the Champions League, the Ultimate Team as well as other game mode.

Zelda Skyward Sword serves its purpose. A second chance that has been great for the saga. A colorful, friendly game with personality that has managed to convince me that it has nothing to envy to other games in the series.

Skyrim VR is one of the best VR games that are in the market nowadays. Even though this game has gone through almost every console and also PC, this is a great way to surprise the player and create a better immersion.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a very complete fighting game and lived up to the expectations that a saga such as Dragon Ball generates. The essence of Toriyama's franchise is portrayed with great quality in every character and their moves.

8.3 / 10.0 - Little Nightmares
Apr 22, 2017

Little Nightmares is a powerful project that brings a different kind of narrative. It creates lots of feelings with very few resources and, even though its duration is too short, it brings a very possitive experience.

Farpoint is the most ambicious proyect that PlayStation VR has right now. This game goes beyond the experience with the new Aim Controller and the possibilities in Farpoint are huge.

This fifth chapter is the best one of a very irregular season that does not achieve to give as good vibrations as the previous ones.

8 / 10.0 - Hidden Agenda
Nov 20, 2017

Hidden Agenda shows the success of PlayLink. A game developed by Supermassive Games that gathers the best of Until Dawn with a dark story with some funny moments. Great to play with family and friends, since it can have 6 simultaneous players.

8 / 10.0 - Quantum Break
Apr 1, 2016

In conclusion, we are facing a narratively shocking game. I thank Remedy for the courage she has had in adding new features to a genre that I have not enjoyed for a long time. The inclusion of a series in which parts of the story are told is a risky experiment but it has turned out to be a success. Those of us who like this type of video game that are closer to a movie or an American series, will have found in Quantum Break another worthy title to pass through our console. The use of powers allows us to also include some fun, well-run shootouts with lots of action that will also be liked by all those fans of action games and shooters. Defining all the key points of Quantum Break was necessary, because although it is normal for these types of games to have a shorter duration and are somewhat more linear, we do not want anyone to be confused about what this title is. We are in front of an incredible work in the narrative, with errors, with weaker aspects but with a great personality and a taste for risk that has favored them in their decisions.

In summary we can see how Ghost of Tsushima has ended up being something less than what we would have liked to find. It is a very enjoyable game with a very well done mission system, with an engaging progression and with a first-rate graphic finish and artistic design. However, in addition to all the benefits, other dark points must be spotted, because in some aspects it seems that some time has been lacking to polish some aspects that could have turned it into a great work. The story and the narrative lack some strength and the base argument that moves the entire game feels somewhat lazy, this being the main slab that Ghost of Tsushima suffers.

7.8 / 10.0 - Chocobo GP
Mar 3, 2022

‎Chocobo GP is a game that tries to reclaim its place. It seeks to introduce some new concepts in the genre despite not reinventing anything at the playable level. As often happens in this genre so marked, it is a game that stands out for its fun and also has the incentive of having emblematic characters that can make the balance between whether or not to throw yourself into the game in case of curiosity.‎

7.7 / 10.0 - Martha is Dead
Feb 24, 2022

‎Martha is Dead is a halfway game. A title that you can enjoy if you are a lover of the genre, but that you play it knowing that something is missing, knowing that it could have been something more. If you are looking to be afraid you may find more tension than something scary.‎
