With The Last Faith we will find a very entertaining adventure that will make us suffer and enjoy in equal parts in a game that will be challenging but fair. The Last Faith amuses, we do not deny that, but it does not risk betting on several formulas already experienced in other games of the genre that convey a final sensation that we are playing a conglomerate of games already experienced where comparisons will be inevitable and that will make We let out on more than one occasion a "I've already experienced this" with a continuous déjà vu.

What can we say about the incombustible Let's Sing that we don't already know! Let's Sing 2024 offers us a good alternative to give as a gift and enjoy in the company of our loved ones during the sweet evenings that are to come, come on, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve and Epiphany. You just have to take a look at the list of songs to see if they convince you, and if not, you can always pay the subscription to the VIP club to enjoy the new songs that come out. I am not very in favor of this type of subscriptions, but I admit that paying for the month on a special occasion at a certain time such as a big party can be very fun, or if we are very sing-songs, pay for the annual pass. The decision (and your musical destiny) is in your hands!

Nintendo has done it again, it has managed to innovate itself and bring us Super Mario Wonder, a Super Mario that can boast of being among the first in its series, even at the level of the legendary Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros 3. Super Mario Wonder is a title that every fan of Nintendo or the mustachioed plumber should have in their game library, an adventure that will not leave anyone indifferent and that overflows with originality, charm and, above all, a lot of fun, which we can enjoy alone, lightly accompanied. thanks to its online mode or in company with its local multiplayer mode for up to 4 players, with the most charismatic characters (and immortal for the little ones in the house or the inexperienced). If you want to laugh, have fun and enjoy a game that never gets boring, this Super Mario Wonder is without a doubt for you, a game in which its creative team can be said to have reached its peak and to enjoy from start to finish for a long time. the 9 hours that its “casual speedrun” lasts or almost 19 hours if we want to do it at 100%.

With Sonic Superstars we will find a 100% Sonic game that will make us have a great time, since it has managed to reflect all those things that fans liked during the 90s or with the most recent Sonic Mania. A game that, although it may be very short, since in 2 hours we will have finished its main story, it can be substantially extended thanks to the surprises that are unlocked once the credits end and which we prefer not to talk about so as not to spoil the experience, although we will say that they give the title a certain replayability. A game that despite being able to play its story mode in local cooperative with up to 4 simultaneous players, is not fully enjoyed because it is not very brilliantly executed, dragging the same errors that it had since Sonic 2 in which the camera always left lagging behind some player. It also has an insipid competitive mode that, without pain or glory, will be relegated to oblivion after 3-4 games. In short, an adventure that every fan of classic Sonic (or as I call it, "chubby" Sonic) should not miss.

Kona II: Brume offers us a mystery, survival and puzzle-solving game where action is a mechanic that gives way to exploration and history, which progress as we solve certain mysteries in the form of puzzles. Of course, we will always be under the threat of cold and supernatural creatures, although in a purely anecdotal way. The game offers three levels of difficulty if we want to simply enjoy the story or take on something much more challenging. A walking simulator and a very interesting option to take into account, which despite the fact that some mechanics, such as the use of the camera, are poorly implemented and that some animations are somewhat clumsy, it is very entertaining and fun to play thanks to its atmosphere and immersive plot.

Lords of the Fallen offers us an experience that seeks to improve the Souls formula with your personal contribution, creating a game with its own identity. The title takes things from other games of other genres, such as Zelda: A Link to the Past, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes or the Soulreaver saga, in which it plays with two very similar maps, but with just the right differences to play by memorizing and interspersing both. A game that every fan of the Dark Souls saga should try, and although in its first hours its new mechanics may seem excessive and overwhelming, they soon become accessible, intuitive and fun to use. A real challenge for any self-respecting gamer and that also allows you to play online in both cooperative or competitive mode.

Wargroove 2 is a direct sequel to its first part which, on this occasion, has been developed by Chucklefish in the company of the Robotality team, a developer team known for the fun game Halfway. Wargroove 2 is quite a continuation of its first part and gives the impression of not playing a sequel, but rather an incredible expansion with more history, more tactical moments and, above all, a good plot seasoned with large doses of humor. If you liked the first part, it is a mandatory purchase, and if you are simply fans of tactical games, both titles are highly recommended purchases. Wargroove 2 also has a powerful campaign and map editing tool that can give free rein to our imagination and inventiveness with countless playable possibilities.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai is a call to all those nostalgic people who enjoyed Fly's adventures in their childhood and who could not find out what became of their hero beyond what was published in Spain. Sadly, the player will once again suffer abandonment because Infinity Strash only contemplates up to chapter 41 of the 2022 anime, leaving a large part of the work unfinished. Perhaps a sequel will complement the work? Who knows... For the rest, it is a very beautiful game on a visual level, but it suffers from quite a few narrative deficiencies, making it unattractive to pay attention to its story, and playability, with a final feeling of constantly playing a Boss Rush mode with few and dull filler missions in open terrain involved. Fortunately, the temple of memory brings a breath of fresh air that can entertain you for a little longer thanks to its procedural combats, since its campaign, if we remove the dull narrative sequences, can be finished in just over 6 hours.

Payday 3 is a good multiplayer game in which, although it is not essential, its fun increases considerably even more if we enjoy it in the company of a group of friends or acquaintances with whom we can communicate. A game whose story is not important, but its map designs and objectives are, which by the way are excellent and very varied and will range from something as typical as robbing a bank to more original things like robbing an armored van or robbing a museum, situations that will make each experience different and fresh. A very good option if we like online cooperative games and that we should not overlook, even if we have not played the previous ones, since, we insist, the story is not paramount but the execution of its gameplay. The duration of Payday 3 is quite random and depends quite a bit on the human factor and the chemistry between players, but estimate that there are currently 8 maps available and that each one can easily take 20-25 minutes. We must also take into account the high replayable component thanks to its four difficulty modes, of which even the simplest (normal) is very challenging, and the higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards, but remember, greed always breaks the bank. ;)

Resident Evil lovers will be lucky, seeing that Separate Ways is the perfect icing on the cake that Resident Evil 4 Remake needed. Completing the DLC can easily take 4-5 hours, which is not bad at all if we take into account that it costs €9.99 and the base game can easily be finished in 17-20 hours. Without a doubt, an essential DLC for every fan of the saga as well as anyone who wants to delve deeper into the history of Resident Evil 4. As a note, mention that in order to play Separate Ways you will need to be able to play the base game.

NetherRealms Studios can be proud to present its most fun and entertaining Mortal Kombat yet. Mortal Kombat 1 is a breath of fresh air for older players as well as an opportunity for newer players to get hooked on the franchise. A game that will provide us with many hours of fun, almost infinite thanks to its seasonal invasion system, and of which we will invest a lot to complete the towers mode in order to obtain the personalized endings for each character and meet the challenges of the mode. training (combos, perfect blocks, etc.). For the first time in the franchise, we will also have a pretty good online mode with which to face and literally "bust heads" with fighters from all over the globe, without a doubt the perfect final icing on the cake for a very good fighting game that features also with spectacular graphics and impeccable artistic direction. A totally recommended game for any player who loves fighting games.

Under the Waves offers us an unparalleled underwater experience with a great emotional charge that constantly invites us to get lost and enjoy that great ecosystem that is the seabed while we discover the ins and outs of Stan's past, the protagonist. An adventure that, although it can easily take us 6-7 hours to complete, constantly invites us to savor and savor it by getting lost and exploring new places, since there will always be something to see and some reward to collect. A game that, personally, I recommend playing without rushing, dim light and headphones, since its wonderful atmosphere and soundtrack will make us live wonderful moments while we soak up the emotional charge that the story of its characters has. A highly recommended game whose only Achilles heel lies in the fact that it has come to us with voices in English, its lack of V-Sync and that it is not suitable for adrenaline lovers.

Anonymous; Code presents us with a very interesting adventure in which its cornerstone consists of the player's reading ability. A fairly well narrated and descriptive adventure where they always explain things in great detail, especially how Pollon feels, which will keep you hooked as long as they are fans of this type of adventure. Good drawing, good music, good story, ingredients that are the most important thing in a visual novel, although with the drawback of having little playable space for the player, as it is a fairly scripted adventure that, sadly, only comes in English.

Samba by Amigo Party Central offers us a great alternative to take into account when playing in company, one of those features that make the Nintendo Switch such a familiar console. On this occasion, we have a game in which, in addition to being able to play it together, we will do some exercise, which never hurts, while we enjoy great songs and have a great time, making it a title to take into account especially if We are lovers of this genre.

Blasphemous 2 offers us a new adventure of the Penitent where a large part of its original formula is respected, although adding many new elements that make this sequel feel like a new and refreshing product. A highly recommended adventure that has exceeded the expectations of its first part, offering us a new challenging, addictive and charming adventure that, although it borrows many ideas and concepts from other games of this style such as Hollow Knight, Metroid or even Castlevania , manages to possess its own lore as well as its own personality. A journey to enjoy playing through an exquisite and well-thought-out mapping, original and entertaining to explore in equal parts, whose only defects may be the occasional difficulty peaks of some final bosses or not knowing where to go at certain moments of the game. adventure. Special mention of its careful artistic aspect as well as its magnificent pixel art, at the height of its predecessor, in an adventure that can easily take you 14 hours to finish it for its bad ending and some more if we want to get 100% of it. In conclusion, if you liked Blasphemous, do not hesitate to play its sequel, since you will not be disappointed.

In Pikmin 4 we find ourselves with a fun and entertaining adventure with a very affordable learning curve and difficulty both for the faithful fan of the franchise and for new acquisitions. An action adventure and three-dimensional strategy in real time in which, commanding these friendly beings, we will have to get hold of resources while rescuing crashed survivors on this inhospitable planet until we conclude this adventure that can easily take us between 17 or 20 hours. A very fun game with a magnificent artistic direction that is slightly tarnished by its graphic environment, a bit adjusted to what we expect from a Nintendo game, and where the saw teeth are evident, especially in the shadows cast by the characters and enemies.

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara offers us a simple adventure that, although it may not pose a great challenge to the most veteran gamers, it may well be a good opportunity to enjoy with the kids in the house. An adventure where friendship and good feelings will make us see that the bad guys are not so bad and that with perseverance everything can be achieved. A simple and positive message together with an equally simple gameplay with simple mechanics that fail to be somewhat repetitive and not very challenging during the nearly 2 hours that it can take to finish its main campaign

With Everybody 1, 2, Switch! Nintendo surprises us with the sequel that offers us a similar experience in which we have noticed some shortcomings compared to its previous installment. Despite this, we have to say that we have spent a very good time playing in the company of our friends, but we have noticed that the games were repeated over and over again, although with various and subtle variations. It is undeniable that a priori it is fun, but it would be necessary to see how this game survives in the long term, since the great handicap it has is that it is not an individual game, it is a social game, to be used in group parties, and whose minimum number of players is 2. Being a game conceived as a party game, it lacks an online mode and can only be played locally. This is a limitation to take into account if we are not people who do this type of event. It should be said that the option of playing with a Smartphone has delighted us, since everyone more or less knows how to work with one and this makes the game very accessible to every "clumsy friend with the controls" in every gang.

Ghost Trick: Ghost Detective revitalizes us and offers a new opportunity to enjoy a fabulous game with more than 13 years behind it. Now in high definition as well as multiplatform, thus being accessible to all users of a home or portable system. An adventure with a very interesting story and characters with strong charisma that will inevitably make us feel affection for them, without a doubt, the strong point of the game. Its impeccable artistic section is not far behind, forcing us to emphasize that both its refresh rate, a constant 60 FPS, which makes its animations even more dazzling, together with its 1080p graphics, make it a visual marvel. A game in which ingenuity and observation will be necessary through 18 chapters that will keep us busy for a minimum of 13-14 hours, with some postgame unlockable extras that will offer us a little more fun with which to squeeze the title once finished.

Sonic Origins Plus is an even more definitive version of all those classic games that defined Sega's mascot as we know it today. Now with 16 games from the old Game Gear to his credit and that will surely make us remember old times. Let's not forget that it also includes the DLC packs that were released separately with the base game last year, plus the ability to play Amy Rose in all installments and Knuckles the Echidna on Sonic CD. A juicy treat for every fan only darkened by the absence of the original songs from some phases of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, a real shame to lose songs like the one from Ice Cap Zone, possibly one of the best of that installment.
