Amnesia: The Bunker is the fourth installment in the star franchise from Frictional Games. We return to survival horror with more classic elements such as in The Dark Descent and we add significant innovations such as the use of some weapons to defend ourselves or help us advance or that the action takes place in a semi-open mapping that will allow us to explore as we see fit. assuming the risks of it. The result is quite solid and The Bunker's proposal fulfills its purpose, and the beast will make us feel constant tension and terror.

SENSE: Midnight is an old school survival horror inspired by several memorable 32-bit and 128-bit horror game titles. With a set of playable mechanics that we will soon recognize, we will try to ensure that our protagonist Kaho can escape alive from the abandoned park of Ikebukuro, where evil spirits will try to hunt us down. But this mixture of mechanics will end up colliding or will not be developed to a sufficient extent, leaving us with an experience that could be improved. Despite this, SENSEs: Midnight will find its audience among lovers of the most classic survival horror, offering an adventure with certain edges but at a contained price that will invite us to give it a try.

Valis: The Ghost Soldier Collection II includes four games from the Valis franchise that complement the first compilation released a while ago. We have Valis IV in its PC-Engine CD Rom² version, Valis: The Fantasm Soldier in its Mega Drive/Genesis version, Syd of Valis for Mega Drive/Genesis and an extra is Valis: The Fantasm Soldier in its MSX version, the first title of the franchise from 1986, although a couple more versions are still missing. Despite this, recovering this franchise has been very worthwhile, and with this second compilation we complete the adventures of Valis that will give us good times of fun.

Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection is a compilation that brings us the first three installments of a franchise that is quite unknown in the West. Although its first installment appeared on MSX in 1986 created by the Wolf Team, the compilation includes its remake for PC-Engine Super CD-ROM² and the second and third installments for PC-Engine CD-ROM². Added accessibility improvements and other extras that greatly improve the experience. Although having included at least Valis IV is missed, recovering this franchise has been very worthwhile, and the titles they offer us are competent platform and action games that will give us good times of fun.

Trails from Zero is one of the best games in The Legend of Heroes franchise offering quite a deep and satisfying experience. The story is interesting, the characters are well developed and the interaction with them is very successful. Although it was initially released on PlayStation Portable in 2010 for the Japanese market, the fan translation into English by the Geofront group has allowed NIS America to bring us this interesting title to the West. Any fan of role-playing games in general and Nihon Falcom titles in particular will enjoy it.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a remake of the first two games in the Wars turn-based strategy franchise that came to the West, Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising for the Game Boy Advance, and Like the original titles, this is an outstanding title. It is true that the artistic section chosen by WayForward for this remake can cause controversy, and that the online multiplayer mode has been left with very few options and possibilities, but otherwise all the additions add to a couple of titles that already reached levels of quality very high. We hope that this test balloon is successful and allows the return of the franchise with a new installment or a remake of the two installments of Nintendo DS, either project would be more than welcome.

GrimGrimoire OnceMore was the first Vanillaware game to be published in 2007 and now it has been given a fine-tuning with the GrimGrimoire OnceMore remaster. This revision that has just landed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch has improved the technical section with HD graphics and higher resolution, and has added some gameplay and accessibility improvements to finish polishing the original mechanics, as well as other extras. As a remaster, you can't ask for more because it clearly improves the original game, the only drawback is that it has not been translated into Spanish and that despite the improvements, GrimGrimoire is a very particular game and may not reach all audiences.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection includes the 10 main Game Boy Advance installments of the Battle Network subsaga divided into two volumes. We are facing a notable compilation, with interesting additions and news, in addition to all the content of the Japanese editions that did not arrive in their day. The gameplay undergoes a radical change going from action games and platforms to strategic RPGs, so perhaps the fan of the classic Mega Man will be lost with the proposal, although if we get hold of the formula, we have hours of fun ahead.

Curse of the Sea Rats, called ratoidvania by its creator, is a pretty standard metroidvania. It stands out for its exquisitely animated and hand-drawn character design, and for offering four-player co-op, something not very typical for the subgenre. Despite its interesting premise, its execution has not been perfect. There are many small details that the user can decide to ignore and enjoy the adventure or they can spoil the experience a bit. Even so, the game is fun and engaging, so we can only recommend it.

LUNARK is a tribute to classics like Prince of Persia and Flashback that will delight fans of these games and the cinematic platform subgenre. But he is not satisfied with just paying homage to the heavyweights he refers to, but at the same time tries to differentiate himself with his own personality and approach, and he succeeds. It's fair to say that maybe LUNARK isn't a game for everyone due to its demands and sub-genre characteristics, but given the chance, we're going to love it.

ONI : Road to be the Mightiest Oni is a different adventure and it feels that way. Quite brave and original decisions have been made that have created a unique adventure, although this can also be its biggest problem, since its structure based on fairly similar tests can end up being a bit repetitive. Even so, ONI: Path to be the Oni is a remarkable game, a beautiful story told from another point of view.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA comes to PlayStation 5 and its users will be able to enjoy Adol's adventure on the island of Seiren in one of the best installments of the veteran Nihon Falcom franchise. A remarkable adventure awaits us that visually shows the passage of time -the original game is from 2016 for PlayStation Vita- but that keeps its fun gameplay fresh.

Yomawari: Lost in the Dark is a third installment totally continuous with respect to its two previous installments. This can be a handicap given the few novelties that we are going to find in its proposal and gameplay, but on the other hand it guarantees the most notable of the other two games, the tension and terror achieved with situations that will leave us very bad, not counting the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability that we will have at all times. Any fan of survival horror and horror games should play this remarkable trilogy.

Atomic Heart is the new open-world first-person shooter with RPG elements developed by Russian studio Mundfish and published by Focus Entertainment. From the beginning we will be captivated by its powerful setting and we will enjoy the powerful visual display that this dystopian Soviet Union of the 50s presents us with. It is impossible for Bioshock not to come to mind -and that can only be good- although at the time After playing it, many mechanics will also remind us of the last Far Cry. It's not quite round due to certain design decisions, and because of the wasted open world, but the game is fun and also a challenge, so we can only recommend it without any doubt.

Mortal Shell: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch is a very worthy version of the success of the Cold Symmetry studio. We find ourselves with a soulslike adventure that does not hide its influences with respect to Dark Souls but knows how to print its own personality. This unexpected edition for the Nintendo console is more than welcome in a catalog that does not have as many representatives of this type of game as other systems.

River City Girls 2 takes the base of its first installment and expands it with new areas and other redesigned areas, new skills and more refined combat techniques, new playable characters, more missions, a longer duration and the best, online cooperative mode. But it also reuses entire mapping areas, enemies, resources, movements, themes from the soundtrack... River City Girls 2 is a very continuous sequel, although this is not necessarily a bad thing, if you repeat something notable, success is assured.

Nintendo Switch users are in luck with the release of Incryption. Danield Mullins' game is quite an experience that will really surprise us and blow our minds, with very unexpected twists and a concept of a metagame or game within a game taken to an unexpected limit for any player. As a card game it also complies, but we say from now on that this playable part is just one more part of the intricate narrative born from the mind of a madman or a genius.
