BAKERU emerges as a love letter to the classics of the 3D platformer genre, especially Konami's iconic Goemon franchise. However, it's not limited to being a simple spiritual successor; it makes its own mark with well-developed and fresh gameplay. While its performance suffers slightly on the Nintendo Switch platform compared to the PC version, this isn't a serious issue. BAKERU is a must-have title for Goemon fans, but it's also an excellent option for new players looking for 3D action platformers in an era when these types of titles are less common.

With an improved combat system, a better designed design and an enchanting audiovisual section, it is an essential title for lovers of the genre. Although the surprise factor that the previous title benefited from is lost, ENDER MAGNOLIA establishes itself as one of the best metroidvanias of this year on its own merits.

Monster Hunter Wilds is an excellent new installment that maintains the essence of the franchise. We will once again hunt imposing creatures in larger and more vivid environments than ever, we will also have interesting new features such as the Seikrat mount and a redesigned combat system with new movements and combos for our weapons and a new Precision mode, to direct our attacks at will and manage to do massive damage to our prey. The narrative now has greater importance in the first stages of our adventure, making the proposal more friendly for novice players. Although it may sound cliché, Capcom does not fail with Monster Hunter, and except for some minor issues, there is no reason why Wilds should not be a new success.

MACROSS -Shooting Insight-, the first game in the Macross anime franchise officially released in the West, offers us a shooter that constantly changes the perspective depending on the phase we are in. With a story with dimensional folds that serve as an excuse to bring together a cast of pilots, singers and valkyries from different series of the franchise in the same time and place. With fanservice as its strong point, MACROSS -Shooting Insight- is an entertaining shooter but without great aspirations, from which fans of the franchise will get much more out of it.

If you enjoyed the first game, this sequel promises an even more intense and challenging experience, with the same essence, but with enough new features that make it more than recommended.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a classic beat 'em up that continues the events of the last TMNT computer-animated movie, Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Mutants Unleashed is a fun option, although it is not free of small ups and downs such as a certain repetitiveness if we play alone, while in multiplayer the experience improves considerably. If you are looking for an accessible and light game to enjoy with your family and you love the Ninja Turtles universe, this title is a good option.

Taito Milestones 3 introduces us to another ten classic Taito titles released for arcades in the 80s and early 90s. The selection includes some heavyweights from the Taito catalogue such as Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2, but also some lesser-known games, and the extras in the compilation are conspicuous by their absence as in the previous installments - beyond the configuration options for each game, the option to save state and the online rankings. In any case, this type of product dedicated to the preservation of the classics is appreciated, although it could be pampered a little more.

Snow Bros. Wonderland is the return of the Toaplan classic with a change of gameplay to a three-dimensional environment that has suited it well. With new mechanics and playable elements but without forgetting its roots, the game offers us a perfectly recognizable experience - perhaps slower and less arcade-like. If you like Snow Bros. or if you are looking for an action and platform game that combines nostalgia and modernity, Snow Bros. Wonderland should be your choice.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person adventure game that combines action, stealth, exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics, achieving a quite interesting balance that works in part thanks to great level design. With an impressive audiovisual section, Indy's new adventure captures the entire spirit of the character and gives us an experience that is as enjoyable as it is recognizable. It is true that the PC version has high requirements, and that the enemy AI can be improved, but still "The Great Circle" is an adventure that deserves to be lived, fully living up to its legacy.

Rogue Flight is an on-rail space shooter that perfectly combines elements and playable mechanics from classic titles like Starfox or Space Harrier, with multiple options and features from more current titles, all wrapped in a retro anime aesthetic from the 80s and 90 that will remind us of titles like Macross, and that really gives the game quite a bit of packaging. Despite having room for improvement, especially technically and at the level of optimization, Rogue Flight will more than satisfy fans of the genre.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a parody of Horizon Zero Dawn; but at the same time it is a love letter to the universe created by Guerrilla Games. Although TT Games is not behind the project, it is clear that Guerrilla and Studio Gobo have maintained the style of many other productions from the veteran British studio, with humor as their flag. If you like LEGO games and the Aloy universe, this is an adventure that you should not miss, although at times it is a little too simple.
