60 / 100 - Flashback 2
Nov 24, 2023

Flashback 2 is a game that could have been but was left half done. It has interesting ideas but poorly executed, and the technical section shows that this game needed more time to cook properly. On the other side of the scale we find the setting, the artistic and audiovisual section, the development of the story and a certain variety. In the end the key is whether we adapt to the control or not, this being the key for Flashback 2 to become a pleasant experience or we leave it at the first opportunity, always trusting that the bugs will be fixed through patches, such as It has become customary, fortunately or unfortunately, in certain titles.

Football Manager 2024 is the last installment with the current engine before what promises to be a turning point in the saga, and they could not have done it in a better way, bringing the best and most polished version of the game so far, and addressing demands such as the import of games or the inclusion of the J-League. The tactical improvements, squad management and transfers, and the match simulation engine will delight all fans. The only shame that comes to mind seeing the expertise of the guys at Sports Interactive is that they have not managed to consolidate a saga of the same quality for other sports such as basketball or ice hockey despite their attempts a few years ago. with this latest sporting modality.

85 / 100 - Super Woden GP 2
Nov 9, 2023

More and better could perfectly be the subtitle of this Super Woden GP 2. ViJuDa has done it again, taking control of this new installment gives us an audiovisual and playable delight. It has polished everything before and taken it further, offering us a wealth of content and hours of fun ahead. If you missed the previous one, don't miss this installment.

The guys from Dambuster bring us with Dead Island 2: Haus a short DLC that shows what they are capable of. In this first story DLC of the two that includes the expansion pass, we will enjoy a story completely separated from the main thread, told with a peculiar sense of humor and an excellent visual display. Dead Island 2: Haus leaves us, without a doubt, wanting more.

We can only be congratulated by the fact that Nippon Ichi and NIS America continue to offer us installments of this tactical RPG saga, as they have their own character and a lot to offer. The almost 30 hours - or almost 100 if we are going to squeeze the game - that Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless will last us make the investment make sense as long as we like the genre.

90 / 100 - Mortal Kombat 1
Sep 22, 2023

Mortal Kombat 1 is the second soft reboot of the saga, allowing both newcomers and veterans to enjoy what is surely the best installment in many aspects so far. The small adjustments to the gameplay increase the balance of the combats and the addition of kameos is an interesting novelty. If you are new, this is an ideal time to get on the bandwagon, and if you are a fan of the saga, you cannot miss this installment.

90 / 100 - Horizon Chase 2
Sep 18, 2023

If it's not broken, don't fix it, that's what they must have thought at the Aquiris Game Studio offices. New vehicles, new circuits, minimal changes, the most notable being the omission of fuel management and the visual facelift, and all the fun and arcade sensation that they already offered us with the first one. Horizon Chase 2 is not going to surprise you, but if you liked the first one it is a safe bet.

As we said at the beginning, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is "video store fodder", it can't help but show the modesty of the team behind it despite the fact that, at first glance, it seems to be a larger title. It is quite short, has little variety of enemies, and the animations can be improved. But beyond all that, it shows great care behind it, good puzzles, a well-told story, a good setting, and fun for as long as we are in command. If you are a fan of the genre, if you enjoyed Daymare 1998, you will undoubtedly enjoy this title.

80 / 100 - SPRAWL
Aug 23, 2023

SPRAWL comes to join the ranks of other titles such as Ion Fury, Prodeus or Turbo Overkill, all with their sights set on the direct and frenetic action of titles from a few decades ago. The millimeter jumps, the use of bullet time and the executions are its hallmarks and will delight lovers of the genre. It is all wrapped up in a technical aspect and a correct level design to give a remarkable game as a whole.

75 / 100 - Dust & Neon
Aug 18, 2023

Dust & Neon is a game that, if it came out at full price, might still not be easily recommended. In this case, with the price so low that it is offered, and as soon as we play a few games on it, it is a game that is easy to redeem and that we can enjoy if we approach it with the right expectations. Direct action, replayability, variety that can be improved even for the type of game it is, and zero complications when it comes to having fun.

Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realms is the third installment of the saga, and ultimately a prequel to the first, and far from being totally continuous, it evolves to offer us a less classic visual aspect and playable mechanics. Despite the fact that the developer has never hidden its inspiration from The Legend of Zelda saga, on this occasion and despite continuing to be present, Oceanhorn 2 takes from here and there and builds its own identity by giving a modest product in terms of value of production but it works quite well and will give us a good handful of hours of fun.

75 / 100 - Exoprimal
Jul 17, 2023

Exoprimal is a good game, which complies in its technical and playable sections, although it is perhaps guilty of having (for now at least) little variety in its playable proposal. Although it is a fun game, in the world of online games of this type, it takes more to stand out, and the starting price can be an obstacle for people to give it a try if they do not trust its success, otherwise which depends on whether it continues to be playable and the servers are not closed or empty, turning it, as has happened on too many occasions, into a €60 coaster. A complete story mode that can be enjoyed solo or cooperatively would have definitely convinced, but only with what offers, raises many doubts.

85 / 100 - MotoGP 23
Jun 10, 2023

MotoGP23 becomes, difficult as it may seem, a game that will delight, at the same time, the rookies who did not dare to approach it and the most veterans in the world. If you like the world of motorcycling, you can not let it pass.

With Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Atlus brings us a compilation of HD versions that are, just like the original Nintendo DS versions, with the map now on the same screen, higher resolution and better sound, an easy difficulty mode and, finally, translation into our language. On the one hand, it is a very good opportunity to get hooked on a saga with tradition, but on the other, the price seems excessive for the type of product that we find.

Miasma Chronicles shows the mastery that the Swedish studio has been acquiring in the genre over the years, offering us a game that meets the mark in everything it offers. It does not delve too deeply into its mix of genres, offering a good balance and standing out in its tactical aspect. If you enjoyed his Mutant Year Zero, you can't miss Miasma Chronicles.

75 / 100 - Redfall
May 2, 2023

Redfall will surely not go down in the annals of Arkane Studios great works, nor will it become a console seller. It seems, in fact, a video game typical of more modest companies with errors and lack of optimization more typical of small independent companies. Beyond this, Redfall can give us hours of fun. The setting is attractive and the game can shine at times, even if it doesn't stand out in any particular way.

The guys from Digital Sun show us that Moonlighter was not a flash in the pan and with this The Mageseeker they bring us another quite enjoyable product that will also delight lovers of the League of Legends universe. Although those who are not fans of this universe will miss a greater ambition in the project, the truth is that it is a very enjoyable product independently and accessible to all types of audiences.

90 / 100 - Dead Island 2
Apr 18, 2023

Dead Island 2 is one of those rare cases in which a long-running project with developer changes ends up giving, nevertheless, a great product. We have had to wait a decade but we can say without a doubt that the wait has been worth it and that Dead Island 2 shines with its own light. If you enjoyed the first one, or even if you didn't have the chance to sink your teeth into it, Dead Island 2 becomes a must for any self-respecting lover of the genre.

During the more than thirty hours that Disgaea 6 Complete promises to keep us glued to the screen, we will have the pleasure of enjoying a new adventure that maintains the level to which Nippon Ichi Software has accustomed us. Some nice graphics, decent audio, English subtitles, which must be taken into account, and some characters and combat that are the best of the saga.

The latest installment of Ryza will delight the players of the saga without a doubt. If Ryza already presented great novelties in the franchise in its day, they have been polished and improved, while maintaining it during its three installments. The latter becomes a must-buy for fans of the Atelier franchise in general and the Ryza in particular. Without a doubt, a worthy farewell to the saga.
