More firewood for the cauldron of the metroidvanias! Sun Wukong VS Robot will not go down in the annals of history. In fact, he did not do it five years ago on PC, but the damned is fun, very dynamic and with good forms. Its brevity is coupled with a lack of ambition or means that could leave it in a much better place, but at least we are left with a very cheap game, perfect to disconnect and have a nice time, and split machines with the legendary staff of the most legendary Sun Wukong.

The Longest Road on Earth is an experience as captivating as it is thorny. A game that has very little gameplay, a way of posing various stories with very limited player participation. And a very special visual, sound and narrative work that will touch and excite those who connect with it.

They have not seen eyes, nor felt hearts, the fervent and extremely disconcerting experiences that Trine Laier offers us in her journey delving into the past and the soul of her parents. The weird is cool; the weirdest is fascinating; but to get excited we need more. And Cosmic Top Secret has it, along with tons of cardboard and paper, our Friend? Marco's imaginary monkey, and the always useful grenades given to us by Dad's friend.

70 / 100 - Habroxia 2
Feb 1, 2021

I have to say that games like Habroxia 2 are appreciated. It's not just going back to past genres and ways, there's a lot of that nowadays, a LOT! It's making it fun. Respecting and paying homage properly is fine, but the fundamental thing is to make something that is enjoyable to play, and for hours on end too. And here it is achieved without a doubt. It works. Adding grind mechanics? It works too. We have a rich gameplay, enjoying not only to look for paths and more levels, but to see how to switch between a horizontal and vertical shooter in the same phase. It just lacks more ambition/means to present even more visual power and less recycling of the previous title. Perhaps for the future this leap will come.

70 / 100 - Even the Ocean
Dec 2, 2020

Even the Ocean offers in its adventure to help our world a mix between platforms, puzzles and narrative adventure. The mix works and is also supported by beautiful 2D graphics and sound work, to remind us of past times, in a game with a clear current touch. It does not fly to great heights but it does get a very decent and worthy of attention, as well as fun in its approach, which could have been a little more out of it.

70 / 100 - Ponpu
Nov 5, 2020

It is joyful not only to have another 2D Bomberman, but to have it so beautiful and so well laid out. This is not easy to achieve, which is why it is a pity that the thing did not come up to that base and aesthetic design. A story mode that is not as much fun as it should be, and a multiplayer mode that is, but that asks for more options and content. But Ponpu works and deserves the opportunity.

Strange to see a notable in such a niche and limited genre in the audiovisual and playable part, right? Above, in English and with the small letter. Well, that's how I would have liked the story of this strange and even inhospitable world of dogs and the strange things that surround it.

70 / 100 - Arrog
Aug 3, 2020

To go too far would be totally inappropriate when talking about Arrog, not only because of the short duration of the title, but because there is not much to say. A game experience that through simple puzzles and a beautiful and careful artistic section leaves a nice pose.

70 / 100 - Reky
Jul 29, 2020

Reky is pure audio-visual and mechanical simplicity, with almost a hundred easy to use puzzles, ascending complexity, and being able to execute them in the right number of steps. The progression, however, is not as well measured as it should be for such a high number of levels, but his proposal is very appealing to anyone who likes this genre and the challenges it generates.

70 / 100 - Radio Squid
Jul 10, 2020

Simplicity, originality and friendliness do not guarantee quality. But in Radio Squid if they help to get it. Huge accessibility, a fun and funky game system, a fun and horny look, and one of those games that can absorb you without realizing it. Maybe with a few tweaks the abduction would last longer, but what it takes to dodge your own bullets and turn them into coins will be pure and direct fun.

That the horror genre has been regenerating in recent years thanks to independent developments, is a proven fact. With Someday You'll Return we have a proposal with well-known facets, paying homage to classics and recent games, in a five-year period of development by very few hands, and with an appearance inappropriate for such modest means. Lights and shadows in a highly recommended game, with edges, and with a bulky length for another adventure of search, exterior and interior exploration, and perhaps, redemption.

70 / 100 - Gun Crazy
May 26, 2020

With a low price and a low profile, Gun Crazy is an interesting and very fun 2D traditional Run & Gun. Fast pace, a superb handling and with some depth of the protagonist, and a somewhat scarce content that would deserve to be expanded without doubt.

Predator Hunting Grounds offers an interesting yet limited online experience. The marked difference between the human combatant side and the relentless star hunter creates a consistent and enjoyable gameplay experience. But, for now, also limited in scenarios and ways of playing. Nor does the current problematic matchmaking help. Time will tell how this promising proposal from Illfonic and Sony evolves.

70 / 100 - Secret Neighbor
Mar 31, 2020

Using the base of Hello Neighbor, we have an asymmetric multiplayer title, playing cat and mouse, or cops and robbers instead. Collaboration and mistrust make for a game with a very interesting base but one that lacks more content and weight to be a comehoras, but which is enjoyed equally, especially when playing with friends.

70 / 100 - Repressed
Nov 1, 2019

Strip someone of everything around them and leave them alone in the company of themselves, and most of the time it will not be very pleasant company. But we must advance in our minds, so Sigur Studios proposes this interesting adventure of light, shadow and prolonged repression.

David Szymanski has established himself as a game creator with a lot to offer. And The Music Machine is one of its pillars, in the form of a first-person walking adventure. A girl, a ghost who possesses her, an island with gruesome crimes and a superhuman mystery to solve. If this doesn't call you, you're deader than Quintin.

Within the indie world of independent video game development, there are more conventional things and more personal things. Uurnog Uunrlimited is particular in nose, but in many noses, Pinocchio is flat in comparison. But it's also an excellent job on a platform and puzzle adventure with the very personal stamp of Nicklas Nygren, or Nifflas for those of us who get involved with Swedish names.

75 / 100 - Somerville
Nov 15, 2022

Another special adventure emerges from a fragment of the creators of LIMBO and Inside, which with well-known forms intends to chart its own path as well. Somerville proposes family closeness and a great opening in its history and ties. An adventure of survival and discovery, expanded by the layer that adds manipulating extrasolar energies to solve its many situations and achieve something more personal and with its differential touch.

Sep 21, 2022

No Place for Bravery is an interesting piece of goldsmithing that has been given a twist that is not new, but here it has the merit of seeming so at least. Under an umbrella of beautiful 2D art, in the form of an action adventure, we have nothing less than a sort of Sekiro. A soul-like game that goes further by appealing to direct combat and the lack of accessories, such as character level upgrades, weapons, magic... so that the calculated and precise fight is the most vital. All stuffed into a story of fantasy, epic, decadence and fatherhood. A lot of ambition of course, which is not always up to par. Rhythm and uneven situations, some problems in that combination of demanding combat and skill, in its 'action-RPG' proposal, without the RPG. But still worth it for more than just enjoying its hard-working graphics and sound.

75 / 100 - Chenso Club
Aug 31, 2022

It is commendable as apparently retro games, or in classic ways, they know how to surprise you and feel current, using their beautiful old-school 2D aspect. Chenso Club offers us action, lots of action!, platforms, and development of vintage arcade. But it adds ingredients to the formula such as the roguelike, the procedural elements, the unlocking of its five bizarre protagonists, and making 'runs' to our measure when starting them and choosing the general difficulty. It is not perfect and there are strings of this bloody violin that still do not sound as they should, but there is promise for the future, of additions and tweaks, while what we have in the present is a dynamic and furious game, where we must learn to manage ourselves as well as have feline reflexes.
