Chicory a Colorful Tale, is a great metroidvania with certain influences on classic titles but that stands out for its great ideas, creating a special title that I recommend adding to the library, in case you want to live a unique experience. A title with a great sound and artistic section in which you will be the artist in charge of giving color.

Dec 7, 2022

With IXION the folks at Bulkwark Studios have radically traded in their alternate future formula for a compelling and well written space odyssey set in the far reaches of the universe.

85 / 100 - GRIME
Aug 18, 2021

GRIME is a sensational video game, its great artistic and sound section have little to envy of other great titles of the genre. We are facing a Souls-like of aupa, which would be better if it had a more complex combat but that we should not underestimate for that reason. A title loaded with content where the only downsides are the limitation of markers on the map, the imbalance in strength and Dexterity builds and the impossibility of restructuring our growth points, something that according to the developers goes against the idea of ​​GRIME.

May 24, 2022

There are few drawbacks that we can find in Hellslave, the title looks amazing in all its aspects. With a mix of genres that goes like a glove, it is a highly recommended title for its game system, history, and audiovisual section.

85 / 100 - Cult of the Lamb
Aug 15, 2022

Cult of the Lamb, it's a 2x1. Part roguelike and part management sim, neither half feels fully developed on its own and provides little challenge. However, the synergy between the two halves is undeniably attractive, and the art style is downright adorable. Without a doubt, they are more than enough reasons to enter this macabre universe.

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is the perfect mix between Souls and hack & slash. I would have liked that the formula of the first one had been respected more in some aspects, but due to its variety of enemies, scenarios and the different weapons to use, Asterigos leaves a great taste in the mouth, becoming one of the best soul-slashes I've ever played. in this last year.

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is a full-fledged soulslike, with a humorous touch, a sublime artistic section, and little to object to. Sometimes the enemies and some weapons may have the same set of movements but it is the only bad thing that I have been able to find within this work that will touch our most nostalgic side.

The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is an excellent addition to the series. There is definitely more good than bad in this edition and fans will be delighted. The only piece that is really missing is an interesting drawing game; there is a round of drawing in Nonsensory, but it is not the center of attention. On the other hand, thanks to transduction we will be able to have this and future installments adapted to our language.

I didn't expect Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator to be such a good title, the good sound design and its visual simplicity are great components of a title with an excellent casual/strategic mix. Although sometimes we can be overwhelmed by the recipes that our customers ask for. Still, it's a lovely game if you're a fan of casual or strategy games.

Tormented Souls is a great survival horror that will remind us of the classics of the genre. A title that thanks to its puzzles and enemies, will have us hooked for hours.
