The Burning Shores DLC offers us a way to put an end to Horizon Forbidden West which, in addition to serving as an epilogue to that adventure that ended so abruptly, hastily and with a terrible cliffhanger, also serves as a prologue to what is yet to come while we wait for its long-awaited third part. In summary, a new content that prepares us for what will be the future of the series and provides us with various brushstrokes about what the starting point of it will be like. It also gives us new locations, characters, enemies, weapons and resources, as well as delving into one of the tribes introduced in its second part and about which we know so little, the Quen. A large new area to go through and an adventure whose main campaign will easily take us to 10 hours long, yes, as long as we stick to the main mission and do not get sidetracked with errands or secondary missions, things that can double DLC time easily.

Unscored - Beyond Contact
Apr 4, 2023

Beyond Contact presents us with an interesting survival game whose cornerstone is based on scanning, crafting and building with a simple initial plot as a trigger base and a gameplay that will make time go by very quickly. If you like games of this type, Beyond Contact is, without a doubt, an option to take into account; even more so if we like futuristic and science fiction games. A very entertaining game with many interesting options, such as its online multiplayer mode, and with a great future to come, since from options we can see how there are two other planets to explore with a great and promising "coming soon". Seeing how the product has been cared for and changed since its early access came out two years ago, it is a very promising future for this survival game with 3D graphics in top view.

Grimgrimoire OnceMore will allow us to enjoy Vanillaware's debut, a studio that has brought us authentic works of art, especially on an artistic level, such as Odin's Sphere, Dragon's Crown or the recent and magnificent 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim . This case is no exception, since it is noticeable that, despite the simplicity of its mechanics, it is a game that has its own charm and a certain magic that traps the player, encouraging him to reveal its secrets and unravel its plot. A fun adventure whose conclusion is around 15 hours, depending on how skilled we are, and whose difficulty will oscillate between very simple combats and real nightmares, which will force us to lower the difficulty or fill the skill tree to advance. A highly recommended game, especially for strategy lovers, with a lot of personal charm and charisma.

Curse of the Sea Rats offers us an interesting metroidvania type title touring a mysterious Caribbean island surrounded by mysteries, magic, action and colorful characters. To do this, we will make use of one of four available heroes, each with their own movements and abilities; and we say "one" although in reality they can be up to 4 simultaneously, thanks to its cooperative option locally, one of the strong points of the title, without a doubt. An adventure whose graphic aspect first draws attention for how beautiful it is, thanks to its hand-drawn characters, its detailed settings and its "pirate" soundtrack, but which is nothing more than a claim for what ends up being a very fun and entertaining to play and that will inevitably captivate us during the almost 4 hours that it can take to finish it for its first ending, and that will last up to 6 hours if we want to discover all the mysteries of the island and its other endings.

Mar 30, 2023

We find ourselves with a game for lovers of retro challenges and peculiar and somewhat more demanding metroidvanias than average. A game that, although it can be very demanding, is not unfair and will entertain us for the almost 5 hours it takes us to complete it, depending, of course, on our ability.

Unscored - The Crown of Wu
Mar 21, 2023

The Crown of Wu offers us a trip to a futuristic reinvented China where myths and tradition have evolved along with technology, resulting in a rather interesting conglomerate. An entertaining adventure in which we will help Wu, the emperor's former herald, on his redemption journey to stop Zhu, the villain on duty. A curious mix that results in a Playstation Talents that, despite being sparing in action, is very fun to play and will make us rack our brains solving the odd puzzle that it has. An adventure that will entertain us during the almost 7 hours that it lasts.

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
