Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon brings us back to the most famous Umbra witch in the world in a somewhat peculiar spin-off that is far away from that wild action vídeo games we are usted to. This time, we will control a rookie, young and inexperienced Cereza before becoming the Bayonetta we all know and love in a top-down adventure where she will simultaneously cooperate with the demonic Cheshire cat solving puzzles, exploring and collaborating to eliminate enemies. A dynamic that may seem very crazy at first but quickly becomes very dynamic and fun. This game is deceiving at first glance, because although it seems like a minor title, it is actually a delivery made with great care and attention that provides us with very entertaining and fun moments. An adventure that will captivate us during the approximately 8 hours that it lasts with continuous exploration, action and puzzle solving, some constants that interchange with a synergy that will make it impossible to get bored.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse allows us to finally enjoy the terrifying fourth installment of the franchise, the only one that had remained exclusively in Japan and almost 14 years after its release on Nintendo Wii. An adventure that, without being one of the most terrifying, is very fun to play and presents us with a renewed and improved atmosphere thanks to a modest remastering and update for current consoles. A game whose transfer from a console like the Wii, with somewhat special controls, weighs heavily, making itself felt especially in things like the camera and its control. However, and without a doubt, it is a very good opportunity for all Western audiences who wanted to enjoy it in their day and could not and that will keep us very entertained during the 13h of play that lasts approximately, yes, completely in English.

Unscored - Titanium Hound
Mar 12, 2023

Titanium Hound tries to gain a foothold in the genre of 2D retro arcades that make use of pixelart by introducing some original and innovative mechanics, which will surely be loved by some but hated by others. If we add to the garnish the existence of unintuitive puzzles that border on frustration, we will have as a final cocktail a somewhat frustrating game that no longer depends on the player's ability, an almost essential requirement for an action game, leaving everything with a rather cold final feeling. adrenaline lover. An interesting title, especially because of the novelty of its mechanics, which act as a double-edged sword and that surely not everyone will like, and that will entertain us during the barely 3 and a half hours it takes us to complete it. Mention that the game ends abruptly and suddenly, giving a final impression that it has ended quickly and running without polishing many details, such as the recycling of final bosses.

With Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe we find the improved and definitive version of one of the best Kirby titles as well as one of the most beloved by fans, now in high definition and at 60 FPS with a renewed and very interesting visual aspect. and aesthetic. In addition, the game contains succulent additions such as the inclusion of a new ending/epilogue of the adventure and a multitude of mini-games that will make the evenings more enjoyable in the company of other players, yes, always locally. An adventure not very challenging, but fun to play, whose conclusion will take us about 7 hours in its main adventure and barely 2 hours in the case of its epilogue.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty offers us an action game with touches of RPG set in a fictitious end of the Chinese Han dynasty. A soulslike in which learning from our mistakes will be vital for the good future of history. It has a difficulty that dances hand in hand with that frenetic action as well as fun that Team Ninja has accustomed us to. If you like the genre, it is a highly recommended and fun game to add to your collection, since after overcoming its initial peak of difficulty it will become a more affordable option. As a great incentive, mention its online mode, which will allow us to finish the adventure in the company of a friend. Completing the game will be a challenge that will cost us a lot, guaranteeing that it will be a good many hours that will hardly go below 40.

Dead Space Remake takes us back to deep space at the hands of Isaac Clarke, who will have to survive various hostile organisms aboard the USG Ishimura spaceship. Dead Space Remake does not disappoint, surpassing the original with a major facelift, both in its spectacular audiovisual section and in the playable one. It has interesting additions that give dynamism to the adventure making it very fun to play, all without losing that special essence that made our hair stand on end 15 years ago. With a return to the origins of the survival horror genre from before, it will not leave indifferent neither those who already played it in its day, nor those who try it for the first time. An essential title for all fans of horror and science fiction that can easily take us 15 hours, yes, we insist, it is not suitable for the faint of heart!

In Fire Emblem Engage we find a new and outstanding game for Nintendo's hybrid console that will make all lovers of strategy and tactical role-playing hooked from minute one. A whole audiovisual and sound show whose only Achilles heel lies in the simplicity of the details of some of the backgrounds, especially those of the Somniel and those exploration stages between battles, which we have found very flat and simple. It makes up for this pain thanks to its unforgettable combat and map designs, the true cornerstones of the game, which make the title one of the most dynamic and fun map stages in the entire saga. In addition, it has an almost infinite character customization system thanks to its Engage system and link abilities. And let's not forget how delightful it is to be able to see our favorite heroes from the entire saga, such as Marth, Roy or Byleth, participating again and actively in the game, both in combat and in conversation, a clear tribute to a saga that began in 1990. An adventure that could easily take us 35 hours if we don't get too distracted (be careful with the Somniel, hehehe).

Unscored - Sonic Frontiers
Nov 11, 2022

Sega presents us with a great adventure to season the 30th anniversary of the blue porcupine franchise. Sonic Frontiers not only revitalizes the saga, but also presents us with a huge adventure in which, literally, getting lost and research is a delight and whose conclusion will take us between 25 and 30 hours, time that can stretch substantially depending on how much we have explored or lost. A fun and highly recommended adventure for both Sonic fans and those who are not, who as a handicap has that the Switch version is somewhat fair on a graphic level.

Unscored - The Chant
Nov 7, 2022

The Chant has arrived by surprise offering us a fun, entertaining and very affordable adventure for the general public thanks to its different modes of difficulty. With a graphic and sound section well above average, especially if we take into account that it is the prime opera of a fairly modest development studio. If we are fans of the horror genre and the theme of forbidden sects and rituals (which is something that just by hearing it already makes our hair stand on end) The Chant is undoubtedly an almost essential title in our survival horror game library. A horror adventure that should not be missed

Unscored - Bayonetta 3
Nov 2, 2022

PlatinumGames does not usually disappoint, proof of this are great games such as Metal Gear Rising, Nier Automata or Mad World, and this time, we can say that he has proven it again. With Bayonetta 3 we will live a great adventure during its more than 15 hours of play with authentic moments that will make us love this beloved witch even more. If something makes us afraid, it is when the development of a game is too long, since it is usually an omen of something bad and 8 years have been many. We can say that these fears were far behind after several minutes of play, since Bayonetta 3, far from disappointing, is a highly recommended game and that will leave us with our mouths open, applauding or showing a smile on more than one occasion.

Nintendo and Ubisoft have once again created a great game by uniting these two disparate universes into one that is full of fun and humor in equal measure. Nobody thought that it could become so popular as for a second part, but it has. With Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope we have a vastly improved game with respect to its predecessor, but with enough new elements to give the title enough freshness that it does not leave a final feeling that the same elements of its first part are being repeated

The Last Oricru is an action RPG, mixing purely role-playing elements with souls-like gameplay. Have a lot ramifications that makes us want to experiment with its different options and how they affect the main plot, making it very replayable. The game encourages the player to investigate and learn more about its world and captivates them with simple game mechanics as well as a very affordable difficulty, even for the middle player.

Unscored - Valkyrie Elysium
Sep 30, 2022

Valkyrie Elysium presents a turning point in its saga and shows how it can adapt without losing much of its essence. It has little to do with the adventures lived in his day by the Valkyries Lenneth, Hrist and Silmeria. However, it is a very fun game, which hooks you from minute one and encourages you to play to discover more about its plot and its characters.

Capcom invites us to take another trip to the past with a compilation made up of some of its most beloved titles. If you were one of those people who lost massive amounts of coins in arcades between 1984 and 1998, you will surely find lots of good memories in this game, because that's what Capcom offers, nostalgia. Great games like Knights of the Round, King of Dragons or Three Wonders finally make an appearance. Improvable? Without a doubt, but it is also very worthwhile.

Matchpoint Tennis Championship is a good tennis game that will delight the average fan, with very fun matches to play, both alone and in company, thanks to its local or online mode, however, and although it is presented to us as a professional tennis simulator, we already warn you that it is not the definitive tennis simulator, since it has many absences, such as the absence of the absence of doubles matches or the absence of great stars of the sport of the racket, in my opinion, big failures. They have achieved the most difficult part, which is to make a game easy and fun to play, although the rest of the aspects remain to be polished, especially at the graphic level.

Capcom Fighting Collection gives us ten great titles that collect the best years of the era of the fighting genre, with a complete collection (finally) of the Darkstalkers saga and presenting others not so well known or forgotten. It fulfills its mission, which is to remind us of such admired franchises, however, its greatest attraction is also its biggest drawback, half of these titles are only from the Darkstalkers saga, and since it is a saga that you do not like, you will be able to see how you have almost no options to enjoy this compilation. A compilation created almost exclusively for fans of the Darkstalkers saga, with some additions, such as Red Earth or its museum, as the icing on the cake.

The Origin: Blind Maid presents us a survival horror in which the constant is human misery as well as the redemption or damnation of the soul, aspects that may remind us somewhat of the forgotten Silent Hill saga. The origin allows us to mix past and present, tradition and current affairs, in a compendium in which the bad and selfish decisions that our protagonist made are explained in detail, leaving in our hands the final decision to condemn him or save him, a truly delicious and that I personally loved.
