I have to admit that, as a user and expert player of Dark Souls (I have platinum certificates), Bleak Faith: Forsaken initially caused me a lot of rejection because I was not in that comfort zone in which I have been playing for decades. to games of this style such as Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty or Lords of the Fallen, games all cut from the same cloth; “Too many strange things” I thought. I have to admit too that it is plausible that Archangel Studios has opted to innovate and make changes, something risky, but which gives the adventure a certain freshness as well as challenging and with a quite satisfactory final aftertaste when we manage to overcome a challenge (the first will be, without a doubt, the first final boss). What I do want to emphasize and warn everyone is that you have to change the way you play a lot to adapt to this adventure and dedicate a lot of time to it. Also, it must be added that the game has some specific bugs that tarnish the experience as well as lacks some small polishing, but we hope that they will be improved as more updates are released, since, remember, when the game was initially launched The PC game was initially practically broken, but it was improved little by little until the final result that I was able to enjoy. For the rest, we will find an interesting proposal for all those with difficult challenges, but that will make more than one throw the controller out the window, or worse still, towards the television.

With Kunitsu-Gami we will experience Japanese folklore alongside the forgotten tower-defense genre, mixing it with a very frenetic Hack & Slash, with a more than satisfactory result.

Luigi's Mansion 2 could boast in its day of being one of the best titles on the 3DS as well as a very good game thanks to its playability and the humor that so characterizes this franchise, but we have to admit that despite the fact that both qualities have not been diluted over time, as it is a remastering of a laptop and not a remake, its humble origins weigh heavily, and it does not come close, at least in the technical section, to its sequel.

Monster Hunter Stories once offered us one of the most endearing and original spin offs that we could enjoy among many of the different existing franchises, just as it did with other installments such as Dragon Quest Monsters, Portal or Mario Kart, only now tuned, adapted and with extra dressings for the new generation. In this way, Monster Hunter Stories offers us its most definitive version, including all the updates that have been available so far, such as the monsters Teostra, Kushala Daora and Rajang or the content included post launch such as the tower of deception and the new ones. customization pieces for our rider or feline companion.

Nintendo offers us, once again, to remember one of its most legendary games from previous generations, recently the Game Boy Advance with Mario vs. Donkey Kong and even more recently from Super Nintendo with Super Mario RPG, only this time for the Gamecube. Paper Mario: The Millennial Door is a great game that every fan of the big N should enjoy, and now is a great opportunity to do so thanks to the great facelift it has in addition to the subtle, but interesting additions it brings. An adventure that, let's be honest, will not pose any challenge for an average gamer, but it can easily take 30 hours to finish, a few extra hours if we want to do it 100%, but little more.

6 / 10.0 - Goliath Depot
May 23, 2024

Goliath Depot will remind you of one of those arcades from the mid-80s that were successful in arcades. It's incredible how such a simple game, both graphically and playable, can be so entertaining.

With Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs Namco we are offered a new Pac-Man that, although it is 100% faithful to the original, implements mechanics that make it a very interesting option to take into account, offering us a very fun title to Play it both “alone” and with friends online. And I say “solitude”, since it is a battle royale, you have to play no matter what against other players, without a doubt, a good way to meet other followers of the popular comecocos on any system/support, since the game It has a crossplay function between platforms (an option that we can activate or deactivate at will from the “options” menu).

Unscored - Dragon's Dogma 2
Mar 20, 2024

It has taken 12 years to arrive, but the wait has been worth it. Capcom has made us enjoy like dwarfs traveling through the immense and vast world that Dragon's Dogma II offers us. A game that, it is true, can overwhelm anyone who wants to delve into all its ins and outs and things to discover thanks to everything it can offer, but which, without a doubt, will not leave anyone unmoved. Dragon's Dogma II offers us a very lively world in which I have been immersed in the most varied situations such as starting a fight against a cyclops in one area and during the heat of the battle it ends up moving to another. part where I have forced other bystander NPCs to enter the fight and lend their support, which has greatly facilitated the confrontation; or making certain decisions of dubious ethics but that, against all odds, end in a happy ending for everyone (especially for my pockets), or... And so I could continue with a multitude of anecdotal situations in a game in which it is seen that The details have been greatly cared for. On the other hand, I have to say that I was disappointed by the lack of a performance mode that has deprived me of the possibility of enjoying the experience at 60 FPS, which would have been amazing during the enormous number of hours of play that it has to do. offer. Because, let's be honest, Dragon's Dogma II invites you to get lost, making it almost impossible to stick to its main campaign: Secondary missions, errands, brothels/romances, epic confrontations, and a long etcetera are to blame and believe me when I tell you that they will not disappoint nobody.

Adapting a classic like Alone in the Dark to modern times has been a very tough gamble, improving a timeless classic and a precursor to what for many was the horror genre of the 90s is something very difficult, so we can't help but applaud trying. Unfortunately, we have to say that they have tried to innovate so much that the idea of what they should have really focused on, being alone in the dark, has been diluted. Far from being a bad game, it entertains, but it has completely lost its essence and does not give the real feeling of being a survival horror as its original was, but rather a simple action game. As if this were not enough, it needs a good polish, since we have experienced quite a few situations where we have been forced to restart the game because the character has gotten stuck between two elements of the scenario. Fortunately, the game allows recording at any time and this is easily corrected by loading the nearest checkpoint with all the objects taken up to the time of saving (and there are checkpoints every so often!). The game has a Deluxe edition that includes comments from the director, a 20s-style sepia filter and, most interestingly, the possibility of playing with the skins of the original 1992 characters! By the way, finishing the campaign with one character took us around 8 hours, so if we want to do it with both it will easily take us about 12 hours (the second round will be faster because we will already know what we have to do and where to go). And finally, mention that by completing some sets of collectibles in the second and third game you can unlock different endings or alternative scenes, a good incentive for the curious and that will further extend the duration of the title.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong offers us the possibility, for anyone who could not at the time, to enjoy one of the most anecdotal titles for the Game Boy Advance, but updated for the current generation; and for everyone who played it (including myself), a series of extras such as a couple of new and challenging worlds and the possibility of playing it in the company of a second player locally. A recommendable game if you like puzzles, although we must warn that it is not a very challenging installment because if we are a little crafty, in about 8 hours we will have managed to complete it 100%. Of course, once the first round is done, the difficulty curve becomes much more pronounced once the new plus game has started. An adventure with which to spend a pleasant time in idle moments thanks to the brevity of its levels and where it is always a satisfaction to finish a level.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is what many fans have been waiting for since the remastering of the previous trilogy was launched in 2019 and the opportunity for non-Nintendo platform users to enjoy the other three titles in the saga that the game offered us. great developer Shu Takumi. The downside is that, unlike the remastering of Ghost Trick: Ghost Detective, another of its wonders that did arrive in Spanish, this time we have to settle for Shakespeare's language again, since Spanish has become to be left out of the equation. A real shame, since although Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice came out in English at the time for Nintendo Switch, Apollo Justice did enjoy a wonderful translation like the other three Nintendo DS titles. I also can't help but not mention the wonderful crossover of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which would have been a magnificent finishing touch as an extra in this edition as a spin off. Despite everything, they are three very good games that are worth playing, and that, despite being in English, fortunately it is not particularly difficult English and quite accessible to any intermediate level speaker of the language. The HD facelift is quite noticeable in the first title, while in the other two it is not appreciated too much.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown was an enormous challenge that Ubisoft Montpelier has managed to take on and master. Something as complicated as making a saga that hibernated while waiting for the right moment to wake up shine. Thus, we find a title that is far from the saga that became so popular on PlayStation 2, but returns to its origins with a game that is reminiscent of the original installment of everything, and in which exploration was its pillar. In this way, we find a very fun game that has everything: action, puzzles, platforms, exploration, etc... Where, thanks to a series of exquisitely interconnected maps, you are continually encouraged to explore with very satisfactory results for the player. An adventure that, although the entire focus falls on that triptych (adventures, exploration and platforming), relegates the narrative to something secondary, thus offering us a character that is comfortable to control and who responds really well to command, never leaving us sold or doing something. that we would not want to do. Sargon's adventure can take us, depending on how skilled we are, between 20 and 25 hours to finish. The game has also a Deluxe edition that includes an amulet that will warn us when a secret is nearby and a new appearance for Sargon.
