Con: Operation Galuga successfully recreates the original game released in 1987 and elevates the show to a new level, but a number of issues (the controls, mainly) make the experience very frustrating.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth successfully recreates the original title, elevating this part of the story to new levels and betting on a game format that, without being particularly innovative, works wonderfully. It's immense, funny, emotional and very varied, but above all it's a fantastic remake that delivers on its promises.

76 / 100 - Ultros
Feb 12, 2024

With a gameplay approach that is as psychedelic, disconcerting, and unique as its visual style, Ultros is a constant stimulus for the senses. If you value originality and like different games, don't hesitate to give it a try.

Underneath all that layer of daily rewards, weapons with numerical percentages, and seasons full of promise, there's a genuinely funny and wildly fun Rocksteady game. A game that has turned out much better than we expected... But he also deserved much, much more.

92 / 100 - Persona 3 Reload
Jan 30, 2024

Although it lacks two key pieces to be the "definitive version", Persona 3 Reload modernizes a classic to the level of today's great RPGs and includes enough new features to tempt those who already knew it once again. The best of both worlds, as they say.

The great values of this remaster are the No Return mode, which highlights (even more) how brilliant its gameplay is, and all the light that the extras shed on the development of a work of this magnitude. The graphical upgrade is still a set-up for PS5, but for that upgrade price "I assure you I would do it again".

Prince of Persia returns in style with an exceptional adventure that excels in everything it sets out to do, that does everything so well that it's hard to find faults with it and that you never want to end. After many years missing, the Prince has returned, but he has returned as the king of action and platform games.

The Indigo disc is the highlight of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero: a quality expansion with lots of new features and content to stop a train. It's still struggling with technical issues and won't change your mind if you hate Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but if you don't choke on the flaws, it can leave a great taste in your mouth.

75 / 100 - Trinity Fusion
Dec 15, 2023

A good roguelite that stands out for its action and premise, but that lags behind the greats of the genre. Still, if you like action and platform games and are looking for a new roguelite to get hooked on for hours on end... Look no further.

Echoes of the Fallen is a brief dose of "more Final Fantasy XVI." It doesn't do anything new and lasts a breath, but if you liked the main game here's an extra helping that will taste like glory.

70 / 100 - Born of Bread
Dec 4, 2023

Born of Bread is a perfectly baked RPG that, thanks to its varied mechanics, manages to entertain and amuse you from start to finish. Even if it doesn't come to revolutionize the genre... Who can resist a good loaf of bread fresh from the oven?

Astlibra Review is a modern classic with a perfect balance between action and role-playing. It has several aspects that can be improved as a result of having been developed by a single person, but when you put everything in the balance, its virtues weigh much more than its defects. If you miss the RPGs of yesteryear, it's a must.

Not even the combined chakra of its impressive roster of shinobis and kunoichis could hide the fact that Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections' story modes are very neglected, falling far short of being the definitive game in the Storm saga.

77 / 100 - The Last Faith
Nov 15, 2023

It's a shame it doesn't have more personality, because under all those borrowed ideas there's a really solid metroidvania and an engaging soulslike that fans of both genres will surely love.

85 / 100 - Super Mario RPG
Nov 15, 2023

Super Mario RPG is the perfect combination of classic Final Fantasy role-playing and the outpouring of originality and sense of humor of the Mario games. As a remake it's a bit short, but for us, who couldn't play it in its original version, it's quite a gift.

95 / 100 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 26, 2023

Alan Wake 2 is a brilliant survival horror that combines the surrealism of Twin Peaks, the investigations of True Detective and the paranormal elements of the SCP Foundation, but it is also the new graphical ceiling of the generation. And above all, it's a Remedy game; and it is glorious.

Having these games on current platforms is fantastic and yes, they are still masterpieces that we would recommend with our eyes closed. But a series like Metal Gear Solid deserves more than just a compilation without any substantial novelty, which seems more like an attempt to silence fans than an honest way to revitalize Snake.

83 / 100 - Ghostrunner 2
Oct 23, 2023

Ghostrunner 2 demands the speed of a speedrunner, the skill of a no-hitter, and the patience of a Buddhist monk. Its difficulty doesn't make it suitable for all palates, but if you agree with its game philosophy, here is an injection of adrenaline that you will enjoy until the end.

Insomniac dresses Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in the black suit, improving to the extreme all the mechanics of the previous titles and adding new features that work in perfect symbiosis. The result is a well-rounded adventure that swings to the top and touches the ceiling of superhero games... And a dream for any Spider-Man fan.

Despite its many problems, Lords of the Fallen has managed to conquer us by combining the soulslike of always with a mechanic as novel and interesting as the jump between worlds. If they correct their failures, we could be facing one of the great surprises of 2023 and one of the best soulslike of recent years.
