8 / 10.0 - Windjammers 2
Feb 2, 2022

Ideal arcade title, one of those to pick up and melt hours a few afternoons, either alone, with colleagues or against strangers in online games. It does not have much variety of gameplay, but in return its mechanics are deep and complement each other perfectly to give numerous strategies of attack or defense. It is worth, at least, to try it through Game Pass.

A post-apocalyptic narrative adventure, minimalist and with a great atmosphere, both visually and aurally. It is a continuation of its predecessor, but the journey on the high seas is still a genuine experience.

8 / 10.0 - Cursed to Golf
Aug 29, 2022

A fusion of original concepts, but even more important, that feed back on each other, achieving an almost perfect game: Fun, methodical and challenging in equal parts.

An intense and short adventure in the underworld, with fast-paced combat with enough tools to make you feel powerful while still making it fun to bust demons, and elevated to the nth power with a masterful heavy metal soundtrack to feel the heartbeat of each battle even after you leave the game.

A dark fantasy hack and slash that draws from religious myths, Lovecraftian and Russian folklore. Its pixel-art is disturbing, and together with the audio design, it puts the player into ruthless combats where instinct prevails over strategy.

Minimalist incremental rogue-lite with a simple but effective formula, making Vampire Survivors a perfect sink of hours for very little money.

8 / 10.0 - Evil West
Nov 21, 2022

Half teslapunk western, half vampire slasher: A very solid, challenging and fun action game where the variety of skills is a must. It leaves a pleasant mouth feeling even when it declines a bit in the final part.

A dark fantasy TRPG with an engaging story told by high quality dialogue and animation. Combat is intense and small-scale, controlling only up to five characters. An enjoyable bet of challenging strategy but without going to extremes of other titles of this genre.

An ingenious visual novel that conveys Japanese terror through Edo-era legends to perfection, and later adds a great intrigue of detective series, investigation and thriller. Its proposal to get the player into this adventure is almost perfect.

8 / 10.0 - Bleak Sword DX
Jun 23, 2023

A minimalist souls-like game that adds more content and polishes even more of its sidequests in the DX version for Switch and PC. A game partly short, but that can be extended as long as everyone is willing to challenge the numerous enemies that appear in the diorama-like levels.

8 / 10.0 - Summum Aeterna
Sep 13, 2023

A roguelite with a well-built base and where the agile gameplay, visual style and challenges give a fun product for several hours. As the only downside, it does not stand out in anything over other titles of this genre, although that does not take away the danced after more than a year in Early Access.

Apr 22, 2022

A sequel 23 years after the original Neo-Geo that maintains its essence of arcade action and platforming, but without giving up some good artistic improvements in high definition.

A fun arcade soccer game with friends, entertaining in online multiplayer and normal to play against the machine. Apart from its lack of content, it has enough tools to create different styles of play, strategy and enough skill to make perfect plays. Every goal counts.

7.5 / 10.0 - Restless Soul
Aug 31, 2022

A humorous adventure in the Beyond with its touches of shoot 'em up and puzzles, but that stands out in an interesting 2.5D artistic section, and above all, in being a machine gun of jokes with infinite ammunition. Rest assured that you will find a very timely joke when you least expect it, and the developer will be there, proud to have brought a smile to your face with his work.

7.5 / 10.0 - 9 Years of Shadows
Mar 31, 2023

An experience of between five and eight hours of full-fledged metroidvania. Overcoming a mechanic that somewhat unbalances its gameplay, 9 Years of Shadows is a simple game that knows very well what it is looking for, providing art designs and a particularly remarkable soundtrack.

A Lovecraftian metroidvania, inspired by his most detective novels, bringing with it a very attractive mystery plot and a sublime art direction between cartoonish and creepy. The exploration and puzzles are very complete, and detract a bit from its brevity and that the approach to combat does not perform as well as the rest of its parts.

The tenth installment in a JRPG series that is increasingly taking off outside of Japan for good reason: Unforgettable characters, plot twists, an anime and fantasy world that feels close for political wheeling and dealing and war tension.... Trails into Reverie is the link between all the paths traveled by these heroes, and introduces a new group of anti-heroes to give even more perspectives on the continent of Zemuria.

7 / 10.0 - Aragami 2
Sep 27, 2021

Stealth and action in a traditional scheme, multiplayer up to three, bathed under an interesting Japanese aesthetic and history. Overall, a good title, although it does not quite stand out in its separate sections.

A compact fantasy story, with simple gameplay, a lot of backtracking, a gameplay cycle that engages, endearing characters and a fantastic art that combines 2.5D with grace. It is not a title that seeks to be ambitious, but it is enjoyable, and that is why it is comforting.

7 / 10.0 - Hell Pie
Jul 21, 2022

A short 3D platformer that results in a very entertaining demonic rose ride. Each level is a playground of amusements and obscenities that fit perfectly with the cartoon and gore tone it shares.
