‎A game that stays halfway to what could have been. It promises hours of fun at a competitive price considering that this is a compilation of three games. Once the three of them have passed, I doubt very much that I will get hooked on the saga again but who knows... There's something inside me that tells me that the best of this saga hasn't happened yet.‎

7.5 / 10.0 - Days Gone
Apr 25, 2019

Sadly, Days Gone ends up as a failure regarding the attempt of creating one of the best survival games in the market. Despite of the fact that it is a fun game, it has far too many errors to be considered a must-have title. The story is inconsistent, the missions tend to become repetitive and there are a lot of problems regarding stability as well as bugs that, all in all, make this one of the weakest exclusive game to be found on the PlayStation 4.

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.‎

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.‎

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.

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.

8 / 10.0 - Just Cause 4
Dec 13, 2018

Just Cause 4 is a very funny game but with a shallow and very repetitive story. A game with lights and shadows that does not manage to be outstanding despite trying

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.

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.

8.3 / 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.‎
