D.U.M.A. incorporates fun ideas when it comes to exploring and fighting, but beyond that Star Ocean: The Divine Force is an ordinary and grinding JRPG. And that's okay, because sometimes these games that are just good are just as fun as any AAA. Sometimes even more.

75 / 100 - Gotham Knights
Oct 20, 2022

Gotham Knights doesn't know what game wants to be. It has the narrative and structure of a single player game... But also lackluster RPG elements that doesn't add anything to the formula and infinite, repeatable objectives like a MMO. It's not a bad game and we actually had fun with our time with it, but it lacks... something. And it's not Batman.

80 / 100 - Scorn
Oct 14, 2022

It is likely that many do not agree with its mechanics, but its visual impact is so powerful that it is impossible not to recommend it. Scorn is so disturbing that you're going to want to look away and so overwhelming that you're going to be able to stop looking at us. It's as if a macabre mind's nightmare has become a video game.

65 / 100 - The Last Oricru
Oct 14, 2022

The Last Oricru may not be the game with the most elaborate dialogue system in the world, but it makes up for it with a unique universe, a story that catches from minute one and decisions that matter. It's a pity that the combat system doesn't accompany and stays far away from other soulslike... Although at least it fulfills its mission.

72 / 100 - Valkyrie Elysium
Sep 29, 2022

It is a pity that there are so many wasted elements, because Valkyrie Elysium has the necessary tools to reach Valhalla... But it stays halfway. Even so, if you like action RPGs and Norse mythology, you will enjoy it with its spectacular combats.

67 / 100 - Soulstice
Sep 20, 2022

A solid game with good intentions, but that falls far short of the greats of the genre. As an appetizer it's fine, but hack and slash lovers probably prefer to wait for Bayonetta 3... or back to Devil May Cry 5.

Steelrising has the necessary gears to offer a solid soulslike experience.

80 / 100 - Immortality
Sep 2, 2022

The non-linear narrative is a double-edged sword in Immortality, leaving us with brilliant moments of discovery but also points where the experience is "dismantled". Despite this, it is a truly unique game, essential for those who want to delve into the narrative possibilities of the medium.

‎Plain and simple, TMNT The Cowabunga Collection is the new benchmark within retro video game compilations. Both for the selection of titles (very wide, with different versions and change of region) and for the enormous amount of extras, an example of preservation. As the turtles would say: this game is a fucking mother.‎

80 / 100 - Rollerdrome
Aug 16, 2022

It's easy: if you like skate games like Tony Hawk's or Jet Set Radio and shooter games with clever mechanics and lots of spectacle, Rollerdrome it's the explosive combination you didn't know you needed.

We have some criticism on Sword and Fairy: Together Forever and in it's current state still needs some patches. But the truth is we were hooked while playing, because there's also a lot to love here. It has the potential and charm of the biggest roleplaying games mixed with a unique setting and characters.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 combines all the good things from previous games into one colossal, complex and (almost) infinite JRPG that we aren't going to forget anytime soon.

Combining such different things seems like a bad idea, but Yurukill manages to convince us that his mix of genres fits perfectly. But the best thing is that it manages to stand out in all aspects, which means that we are facing a great novel visual ... and a fantastic shoot 'em up.

‎If you like strategy and, in general, everything that the Fire Emblem saga is known for, with Three Hopes you will enjoy it. The action maintains the usual "machacabotonismo" of the musou (for better and for worse), but it is a much bigger and deeper game than it seems at first glance.‎

‎Kimetsu no Yaiba comes to Nintendo Switch with a fantastic port, so much so that you will have to strive to find real differences with the rest of the versions released. If we add to that the portability or that it arrives "complete" (with all the post-launch characters), the conclusion is that we are facing a more than recommended version.‎

70 / 100 - Silt
Jun 1, 2022

Its flaws make it stay a few steps below the games in which it is inspired, but the oppressive setting and the mechanics of possession make Silt a more than recommended option for lovers of these surreal games.

Jun 1, 2022

A compilation that only for its historical value is already of incalculable value, especially for fans of Pac-Man.

85 / 100 - Souldiers
May 30, 2022

Its difficulty can be desperate, but if you are not afraid of great challenges or get stuck without knowing how to continue, Souldiers is a gem that no lover of retro, metroidvania and pixel-art should miss.

90 / 100 - Rogue Legacy 2
Apr 28, 2022

‎Cellar Door Games surprise us with a sequel that not only surpasses the original in everything, but also automatically becomes one of the best roguelite ever made. You won't be able to stop playing.‎

‎With a story that has kept us glued to the screen from beginning to end, very ingenious puzzles and a very good taste to represent and reference the culture of Spain, TAPE: Unveil the Memories has been a pleasant surprise. If you like stories of intrigue and suspense with a hint of terror, you can't miss it.‎
