Enotria: The Last Song is a work that stands out for its visual beauty and thematic originality, but that fails to reach the necessary level of execution in its gameplay. The mask system, although innovative, is not well balanced, and the combat, an essential pillar in any Souls-like, is weighed down by imprecise controls and mechanics that limit the player's freedom. The narrative, while intriguing, fails to develop coherently, leaving the player with more questions than answers.

9 / 10.0 - Satisfactory
Sep 11, 2024

Satisfactory 1.0 is the culmination of years of development, community feedback, and constant polishing. The result is a deep, addictive and, yes, tremendously satisfying game (and pardon the pun, but there is no better way to describe it). If you're into building, optimizing or simply creating gigantic things, don't hesitate: Satisfactory is your game. It's the kind of experience that absorbs you completely, challenges you intellectually, and rewards you with the satisfaction of seeing your creations come to life.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is the perfect example of how a remaster should be done. It respects the original material, significantly improves the technical section and adds content that fans will appreciate. It's a game that understands its identity and embraces it completely, offering an experience that's both nostalgic and fresh.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is the perfect conception of what a sequel should be, a frenetic title with third-person action that does not falter at any time and with some additions based on very fun and entertaining game modes that give the title a great replayability.

9.3 / 10.0 - Black Myth: Wukong
Aug 16, 2024

Black Myth: Wukong is everything we expected and even more so a game that on its own merits is going to be crowned as one of the best of the year without a doubt. Exquisite gameplay and cinematic plot development to put the icing on the cake of a well-rounded game if you're into challenges.

Are you left wanting more Elden Ring? Well, here you are going to have two cups because the added content in Shadow of the Erdtree is much more than just a DLC, it is an ode to what should be considered quality added content that is worth paying for.

8 / 10.0 - Pacific Drive
Feb 24, 2024

The premise of Pacific Drive is unique and original in many ways, although in others it can be a bit tedious and tiresome. It is a game in which we must be patient and not go crazy, because it is better to go little by little so as not to fall into despair. Being a first-person survival rogue-lite, it has its own twist and nothing will be the same in every exploration, but for my taste a third-person option would have been good for it.

Lysfanga is a title that engages, entertains and, above all, surprises. It probably won't go down in history as the game of the year, but it's certainly a title that fans of the genre will fall in love with.

9.6 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 28, 2023

Alan Wake II is the big surprise of the year, a title that gets fully into the fight of the GOTY 2023 and elevates the Survival-Horror genre to another level. A never-before-seen level where I can only pour praise on it. If you are afraid this game is not for you, but if it is not the case I recommend that you sit back and enjoy it. Thank you Remedy.

8.8 / 10.0 - Minecraft Legends
Apr 14, 2023

Minecraft Legends is a whole new world, fun and entertaining to say enough. It has enough elements to give us hours and hours of entertainment and its multiplayer mode is the best possible extra fun.

‎Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is an ode to tabletop role-playing games that transports us to a world where we will live the game in the first person. The humorous and casual touch of Tina feels that it is not even painted and the improvements with respect to Borderlands make this spin-off practically surpass it.‎

9.2 / 10.0 - Halo Infinite
Dec 6, 2021

Halo Infinite's compendium is a remarkable one, a game that excels in all areas and that properly shows the hard work that 343 Industries has put in the game. The campaign is cool and the multiplayer is lots of fun, so all in all John 117's first appearance in the next-gen is a fantastic one.

‎Jurassic World Evolution 2 is not a bad game, not at all, in fact, it will delight those who come from the first installment and those who discover it for the first time. The gameplay is a delight and the title is fun although perhaps too continuist and not very innovative.‎

10 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 5
Nov 4, 2021

‎Forza Horizon 5 achieves what many sagas try, but sadly they fall by the wayside and it is nothing less than surpassing themselves with each new installment. The work of Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios is sensational offering Microsoft fans one of the best car games of all time.‎

Age of Empires IV is a breath of fresh air to the saga that maintains the essence of the classics without innovating too much, but taking a step forward to what the community has been asking for years. The saga is back and the care and detail they have put from Relic Entertainment is worthy of praise.

Sep 10, 2021

‎Lost in Random does practically everything well, it tells us an interesting and original story that mixes with a gameplay and an innovative combat system risking in everything and winning in almost everything. This is a game to take into account of the most interesting and fun‎.

‎The remake of the legendary Alex Kidd In Miracle World is already a reality. The classic of 8bits comes back to life by the hand of the Spanish Jankenteam in a reimagining that leaves us wanting more.‎
