Taxi Life fails at everything. The performance is very poor, the AI makes gameplay very difficult, and the recreation of Barcelona falls very short in terms of scale. It needs time and a lot of work to become the game it should have been.

9.5 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 26, 2023

Alan Wake 2 completely changes the gameplay concept of its predecessor. Now it's a survival horror with detective overtones and the formula has suited it perfectly. With Resident Evil 2 as a great inspiration, Remedy's new film takes the definitive step in terms of narrative and offers a thrilling story that connects all of their previous works. One of the best games of the year.

8.3 / 10.0 - Atomic Heart
Feb 20, 2023

An outstanding musical section that we cannot fail to highlight is the perfect companion to be able to say that we are facing one of the most outstanding games so far this year and that, without a doubt, should be a candidate for some other award when it comes to taking stock of this 2023. We have been disappointed by its open world and the treatment that is made of it, but it more than makes up for it with a magnificent interior level design, with little to envy to the big names in which it is inspired. Best of all, Atomic Heart comes out to Xbox Game Pass and if you are a subscriber of the service you can see for yourself everything we have been talking about. If you like unbridled action, it would be a crime for you to miss it, comrade.

6 / 10.0 - MADiSON
Jul 22, 2022

‎MADiSON has an oppressive atmosphere and ingenious puzzles that keep the player in tension from start to finish. However, the Bloodious Games game abuses jumpscares and has technical problems that weigh down the experience.‎

‎Dying Light 2 is the playable evolution that any fan of the first installment would expect. However, Techland fails in the narrative and execution of many of its ideas. It has a lot of technical problems.‎

‎3D Billiards: Pool & Snooker Remastered is an interesting pool game to play as a family, but it is far from the best in the genre. It lacks complexity and has very important bugs.‎

9.2 / 10.0 - Unpacking
Nov 16, 2021

‎Unpacking is one of the best games of the year thanks to its magnificent idea: to tell the life of a person through their moves. Perfect in the playable and the sound, the story of Unpacking deserves to be lived.‎

7.8 / 10.0 - Madden NFL 22
Sep 7, 2021

‎Madden NFL 22 takes a step forward, but still has a long way to go. Although varied and extensive, the game doesn't seem very interested in attracting non-American audiences.‎
