The return of the battle toads has been anything but discreet, it could not be otherwise. Zitz, Rash and Pimple return in a visually powerful game tailored to their equally powerful personalities, with the combination of genres that their other games used. Pacing problems, the distribution of the phases and those game genres, tarnish the gameplay. And about the aesthetics and the general argument, let each one judge for himself, because they have won me on that side at least.

Ary and the Secret of Seasons has turned out to be the platforming adventure I expected. Complete, fun, agile and with suitable dungeons. Of course, the ability to manipulate the four seasons in imaginative ways in exploration, puzzles and combat is the true hallmark of this epic. Only regret aspects less successful or with less work, which prevent the game from reaching even higher, but what there is certainly deserves.

A game like 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is appreciated. The usual forms in the woodland runners, an adventurous touch, interesting visual variety, and the Chinorri martial arts cinema as a great backdrop for the story, setting and playable presentation. Fun, with a slightly special rhythm and combat, and a grateful local and online two-player mode. Lovers of action and spanking, we are happy this year.

The return of Eric Chahi as the main person in charge behind a draft project is settled with well-known signs. An inhospitable and disconcerting world, where fauna and flora are made of paper. With very simple handling and mechanics, I am happy that an experience originally designed for virtual reality systems, can work properly when played in a traditional way.

In this sweet moment where so many genres return and recover, having a Shinobi so Shinobi not only comes out without demand of fat plagiarism by SEGA, but it is appreciated and enjoyed...it is also suffered. Shadow Gangs is not only one of those old-school tribute games, it is also an action arcade and platform game that is fun in itself.

I think we should be grateful for such an openly classic graphic adventure, in its concept and development, with healthy humor in its argument and aesthetics. Its focus is very directed to players with a certain callousness and age in this genre, but it is also important to note that it will not be complicated for someone without baggage in these lines can manage, although it will be necessary to have a little patience with their traditional way of doing things.

Donut County is simple and very attractive, available everywhere, if you want you will have it. Donut County is a fast but wildly satisfying, and even Machiavellian, experience. Controlling a hole that swallows everything from simple weeds to motorway caravans is something you have to try at some point in your life. From children who are learning to handle a tablet to those retirees who with COVID no longer have so many works to observe and criticize, everyone fits here, the hole is generous.

Quite common today is the genre of narrative adventures, where following the thread of the plot takes on more weight than direct and complex gameplay. The truth is that it is a type of game that I like from time to time, and I even appreciate it, as I have done with this Paradise Lost. A story that stings and intrigue, an audiovisual and environmental part worked and immersive, and an interactive part with the hands on the pad and the mouse already more limited that also takes its toll on the narrative quality.

Bad Dream: Coma is an extremely simple point & click, in invoice and design. But worked and complex in its development and setting. A sinister and macabre adventure, a walk on the dark side of the collective subconscious, and a game that allows and pushes to replay it to get all the potential that it keeps within.

Three characters with their own abilities to handle alternately, skill, platforms, action, adventure HIBERNIA! Clan O'Conall is fun, it's pretty, and it's 8-10 hours enjoyable. Nice work in classic 2D for an adventure of reflexes and calculation. And from pummeling undesirables who want our kingdom too.

Desperate and comforting. Screams of rage, and blows to the chest of satisfaction. The formula is well known, but little traveled even in the independent scene for obvious reasons. Richard Hörnig succeeds in creating his own Super Meat Boy, his bouncing head, in increasingly horrific and exhilarating levels. Will you endure as many and as many phases, with more as many, and as many, and as many, and as many, and as many, and as many deaths? You should, if pure platforming and extreme precision don't hold you back. Haiki is an eclogue about recovering humanity and overthrowing evil, in the form of a platformer that is as simple as possible to understand and control, and as hard as the twelve (thirteen) labors of Herakles not to complete, but to master. Not all of us will be prepared for this, but those who go deep into the proposal will find a millimetric, careful and comforting design. But... it won't be easy to get to the bottom.

Game-story-sensory experience... Exo One offers us a journey of very simple but interesting control. A way of traveling through the universe in grandiloquent settings, but also clearly introspective. An adventure through the cosmos, through exoworlds alien to ours, and yet, with the necessary emotional connections in those scenarios and in the development of the story. An interesting and far-reaching science-fiction adventure through a simple sphere that runs, jumps, glides, and gets heavier.

I firmly believe that DIRIGO Games has achieved a very special game based on combining unusual ingredients in his magician's pot. The Wild West combined with Lovecraft, Poe and even Richard Corben or Frank Miller, in a frenetic, precise, scalable First Person Shooter that gives little to the player. Taste of the genre in a classic way, mixed with the unleashed and healthy indie that we live in today, Kingdom of the Dead is a proposal that does not expand and exploit, but cannot leave you indifferent either.

In this excellent state for shoot'em ups, Remote Life is another very interesting proposal. A three-year effort by a single person, Mario Malagrino, who can be proud of the result. Three years later comes the jump to consoles, so that more people can enjoy this 'euroshmup' with so much work behind it, and the result is a game that will satisfy fans of the genre, although it may not suit those who are not. so much. A gameplay with some edges, in a demanding game and with an exquisite visual imagery, added to its perfect mission system to distribute the games to taste. A successful and pampered old-school arcade, although rough at times.

It is paradoxical, because Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation -The Endless Seven-Day Journey-, could be offered as a game for younger people, due to its accessibility, simplicity and childlike charm in its beautiful visual proposal and innocent exploration and summer wandering. But it will be the adults who will launch into this bucolic and relaxed game, where dinosaurs roam freely through the streets of a small and charming town. Life simulator, or whatever you want to label it, we dedicate ourselves to hunting insects, fishing, helping people, making money, or enjoying its history and those of the people around it, it makes us feel part of the series or one of its the films of the character that has captivated so many of us. Although the way to do it has been through a game that will not always be suitable for everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
