Kanai Ward attracts both the adventure's protagonist and the player to a long and rainy night, where we go through challenging situations to help the most vulnerable achieve justice. We just need to have some tolerance for anime tropes.

Stray Gods exchanges battles and some dialogues for dynamic music, in an experience full of charm, but with an inconsistent and at times, forced direction.

GYLT falls short of expectations despite promising so much. The theme is strong, but the game relies on clichés and predictable plot twists instead of making a genuine effort to be impactful and memorable in its portrayal. It feels like a minimal attempt to address a powerful theme, and as a result, the good intention gets lost, and the theme becomes diluted by the gameplay.

Venba is a poem whose verses we interpret and feel in different ways. It is a sincere story about the life of a family, with its ups and downs, but there is harmony in its tragedy, humanized by the bond between Venba and Paavalan - the chapters often end with the couple lying down at the end of the day, discussing their problems and doubts - and by the conflict faced by Kavin as a child of immigrants.

More than its main mechanic, where we can bring to life all the objects we photograph, Viewfinder surprises by never losing its desire to astonish the player and provide new mechanics and puzzles throughout the campaign.

Gunfire Reborn does not have a single innovative element in its retention loop, and I say this seriously. The campaign's pace, level structure, division into closed zones filled with enemies, the constant search for more powerful weapons, the setback to the beginning when we lose, and even the inclusion of a skill tree – this is the roguelike experience as stated in the instruction manual.

Bleak Sword DX was a genuine surprise. A game that is well-polished, challenging yet accessible, and a gameplay-focused experience that only indies seem to achieve these days.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a step in the right direction and a culmination of Frictional Games' entire journey. It is both a return to the past, as well as laying the foundation for what the future of the series could be.

Final Fantasy XVI is definitely a Final Fantasy, an RPG, and a great action game, with incredible moments scattered throughout a game that suffers from pacing issues and inconsistent presentation.

Planet of Lana doesn't reinvent the wheel within its genre of atmospheric 2D games, but it has the charm, beauty, and necessary challenges to emotionally invest us for a handful of hours.

Despite its stunning visuals and smooth gameplay, Dead Island 2 ultimately falls short in terms of depth and originality, offering little more than another run-of-the-mill zombie game to play with friends in cooperative mode.

With Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, players can expect more of an extension to the story than a full expansion, but it still offers Aloy a chance to showcase her role as a key protagonist.
