It is indisputable that Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece, a superb western and one of Rockstar's best games. If you haven't played it, you're going to enjoy it in a big way. But at the same time, other factors, such as price or the absence of major improvements, slightly cast a shadow over what should have been a great debut.

Nixxes has once again completed a quality work, making a game from 2017, very beastly yes, look like a current PS5 and PC release. Not everyone will appreciate it because it doesn't change the gameplay at all and focuses on visual details, but you only have to put on the original to see that there is much more to it than meets the eye.

It may not be the best platformer of 2024, but The Smurfs: Dreams manages to stand out as an ideal proposal for all types of audiences, especially the youngest of the house, with a very enjoyable development, which hooks you from start to finish, and does not stretch unnecessarily.

The Lake House can be considered a conservative DLC, with a development that is not far from the Survival template. But what makes it special is the way it connects the universe of Remedy games, with a narrative and a story that you can enjoy without knowing the games, and that closes the plot well. Too bad it's so short.

Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is an adventure superior to my summer with the professor, although it still has problems, from extreme simplicity to a somewhat slow and monotonous development. But if you're into the crazy universe created by Yoshito Usui, and you like Japanese culture, you're very likely to be conquered.

Crypt Custodian is a simple game about making animal friends in the afterlife that mixes isometric platformer and Metroidvania elements.
The update of Until Dawn for PS5 and PC is not a bad game: it shines visually, despite flaws such as exaggerated gestures, firecrackers or not exceeding 30 fps, leaving a more realistic visual feast than on PS4. Too bad that the price is not tighter, like that of other remakes or remasters, because the perception of many players would change.

The Brave Squire is one of the indie surprises of 2024, a great game both in form and in substance, with original ideas (such as entering and leaving the pages) and a superb staging. You can reproach him for tending to repeat ideas, but everything he does, he does very well and with a good dose of fun along the way.

Astro Bot is the celebration of 30 years of video games on PlayStation, a tribute that does not remain only in nostalgia or the easy wink: there is room for the great sagas and hits, but also for forgotten games, and all are gathered around a great and no less fun platform game, that feels like it will be a classic in a not very distant future.

Visions of Mana is not only one of the most beautiful action RPGs, it is also a very fun one, with a great combat system and a lot of content, although sometimes it seems that Square Enix has wanted to play it safe without betting on new ideas and concepts, although the move has worked out well.

If you're not into shmups, or you're curious about the genre, you're going to find things you're going to like at CYGNI. Its gameplay is addictive, its staging impeccable (despite the occasional slowdowns) and if you're going to get stung by the rankings and scores, here you have to be hooked for a long time, despite being a "short" game.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD may not be at the level of other remasters and remakes such as Metroid Prime Remastered or Paper Mario: The Millennium Gate, but even that does not stop it from remaining a timeless classic that is worth discovering if you did not play it on Nintendo 3DS... or revive, if you already did so.

The universe of Alan Wake 2 grows with a small collection of original and fun ideas, which play with the unexpected, humor and "the impossible". A little genius that will not taste like much, and that has its biggest flaw in the reuse of the base game's scenarios.

If you like adventures with a strong narrative charge, and that deal with real themes, even with fantastic overtones, A Space for the Unbound has a lot of chances to enchant you. And it also has almost everything: graphics, sound, good design, characters, script... It may have some ups and downs in its development, but if you take the bait, you won't be able to put it down.

Nixxes scores another with the PC port of Ghost of Tsushima, one of the best samurai adventures of all time, which is now even more spectacular. A brilliant work that stands out for how polished and well-optimized it is, and that even adds options that until now seemed unthinkable.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs successfully manages to put a new twist on classic Pac-Man gameplay, with ideas like invading other players' mazes that make it a fresh experience. The problem is that it arrives sparse with content and without offline modes, which shorten the party more than expected.

Animal Well is one of the most interesting indie games that has been released so far in 2024.

Endless Ocean Luminous isn't a game for everyone. The absence of action or challenge for the player, along with a calm pace of play, may not please all palates. But if you connect with its proposal, as it has happened to me, you will discover a unique game of its kind, with more than what it shows at first. And catch the beast.

Lunar Lander Beyond updates the 1979 classic with success, introducing more ships, abilities, objectives, and situations, as well as a backstory and neat animation sequences. It has aspects that I have loved, such as stress, although others can be desperate, such as difficulty spikes. 45 years later, it's still something different.

Like Portal and other puzzle games, The Talos Principle 2 is a small marvel that, in this case, doesn't stop at its clever challenges or its technical section. He spices up his story with thought-provoking philosophical decisions and reflections, even after the story is over. A small wonder, now available in physical form.
