If it ain't broke, don't break it. That could be the summary of Football Manager 2023. A delivery that is based on the previous one, which already rests on the shoulders of a long list of improvements that it has undergone over the years delivery by delivery, and brings us other new and succulent ones such as UEFA licenses or the new template management. Whether you are a lover of the saga or if you have not played it until now but are looking for a soccer management game, do not doubt that it will satisfy you.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is the latest improvement on the game originally released on the Super Famicom, ported to PlayStation and brought to PlayStation Portable as a remake. Using this latest version as a base and adding Spanish to the texts -apart from voices in Japanese and English-, modifying the controls and the combat GUI and some other improvements, we find ourselves with the best possible version of a title that was already an institution in the genre beyond the personal taste of each one. Tactics Ogre: Reborn will give us many hours of fun and challenges in equal parts. Totally recommended.

HARVESTELLA is Square Enix's first contact with the niche market that forms the atypical fusion of RPG with farm simulator and the room for improvement is evident. But we must admit that the title of Live Wire has its charm and we liked it. Let's hope that Square Enix wants to continue exploring the possibilities of the synergy of these two genres.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is not a memorable game, but it is a more than worthy new installment of a saga that had fallen out of favor. Its style reminiscent of the typical PlayStation 2 JRPG is one of its strengths, but also, despite the success of DUMA as a mechanism to energize combat and exploration, it acts as a limit that prevents it from reaching more memorable heights.

With Asterix & Obelix XXXL: The Ram From Hibernia, the XXL subsaga returns with a fourth installment that is very continuous with respect to the third installment. The great attraction of this fourth part is the multiplayer of up to four players, which is how you can get the most out of the title. It's not a bad game but we all thought that Slap them All! it was the way to go.

The Chant doesn't stray too far from the manual to make a modern third-person narrative horror/action game, but it delivers in each and every one of its sections. Perhaps the combat is the point where it limps the most, but it remains fully functional. The premiere of Brass Token is a pleasant surprise and makes it a study to keep track of in future projects.

It seemed to me as interesting as it was perhaps difficult to resurrect the Arkanoid franchise in the right way for our days. I can say that it has been achieved very satisfactorily, as I am a person who remembers the original Arkanoid from 1986 with a smile and many nerves and tensions. One of the things I've reconciled with the Taito franchise is its excellent Battle Royale aspect, which makes Eternal Battle mode matches extremely fun and fast-paced, whether or not there are human players to fight against. Even the Versus mode has been fun for me, in this game the fight against other capsules I think is the soul of it. But a Neo mode and another Retro mode -simulating an arcade cabinet from 1986- accompany for those who still want to pass the time fighting each phase and trying to reach the elusive and omnipresent Doh. A very interesting game both for long periods of time and for sporadic games without further worries.

Victoria 3 isn't Crusader Kings in the sense that we won't have any Game of Thrones-esque in-house goings-on. Nor does it have the feeling of discovery of Europa Universalis. But if we want a deep political-social simulation in which we can choose any country in the entire world, it is undoubtedly your game. If you are not a veteran of the saga, your head may explode at first, but rest assured, Paradox has thought of you with an excellent tutorial.

Puzzle games that manipulate the laws of physics have a new and very interesting representative in The Entropy Center. With the best device I have ever seen in this type of game, with well-planned puzzles and challenges, an intriguing and pure science-fiction plot, and high-end visuals, here is a must-see for those who like to give head.

Hell is Others is a PvPvE survival multiplayer where dark fantasy and Lovecraftian horror collide. Its gameplay mixes twin stick shooter action with resource management and construction, resulting in a quite striking and entertaining mix. The biggest downside is not being able to play alone and having to play with other players, despite the fact that the plot invites a singleplayer mode.

Call of Duty returns through the front door with a continuation sequel to the previous Modern Warfare, but polishing and balancing the formula proposed by it to the maximum. The multiplayer is a real bomb and the number of players can grow to insanity with the release of the new version of Warzone, so there is fun for a while. One could only reproach that the campaign, while entertaining, is simply compliant.

Can a game with less than ten colors on the screen, rusty can sound, and on top of that, being played with a simple action button, be not only an excellent adventure, but also a very accomplished horror game? OF COURSE! FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is a pleasant and even unexpected surprise due to the values it manages to achieve with its apparent simplicity, which is not such, because there is a well-cared job in its three chapters and multiple endings of each one. A trilogy that has been launched over the course of a few years, and that in this 2022 appears compiled in this unholy trinity. The story of a priest whose faith is shaken, a man struggling against the darkness around him and his mortal and doubting soul. And this in a fascinating game where its multiple endings and replays of its three chapters only add layers and interpretations.

Scorn presents one of the most impressive visual and artistic sections that we can find in a video game. But the best thing is that it is much more than its wonderful staging, in an adventure of horror and disgust, in a journey of mystery and desolation, with a survival horror section that even seems classic due to its approach, open exploration and puzzles. . An experience for both sight and hearing, as well as for our trembling hands on the control pad, in an adventure that leaves a deep and suppurating mark.

Gotham Knights, despite initial skepticism from the Batman fandom and the Arkham franchise, is by no means a bad game. It is true that we expected another bat adventure before the bat family, much less charismatic but at least with the change in concept we have received a funniest cooperative multiplayer. For the rest, we will find an action and role sandbox in an impressive but intergenerational Gotham. We will enjoy quite a lot with the main plot and the villain missions, and not so much with the premeditated crimes that will end up going through us.

Live by the Sword: Tactics is a traditional TRPG with a few interesting innovations but they don't end up giving an optimal result, except for an adventure mode that takes the chestnuts out of the fire and many other modes that it's better to ignore.

Alan Wake Remastered is a game that deserves to be enjoyed, there is no doubt about that, but the Nintendo Switch version is only recommended if there is really no option to play it on another platform. We expected much more from this conversion, especially seeing the level of other versions for the platform, but it seems that Remedy was on to something else and what has come out has come out. A great game in a poor version.

Although the levels present within the DLC Oh! Well are entertaining and expand the game a bit more, they don't measure up or deliver on anything that was promised, resulting in poor and short-lived content for a somewhat high price for what is included.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a complete medieval knight simulator that improves and at the same time gives greater accessibility to its first installment. We have had to wait 14 years for this moment and we will not be disappointed. Although Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a dense game, which encompasses many playable fronts and formulas, and this can overwhelm at first, as soon as we get the mechanics down we will be captivated by the title of TaleWorlds and all its possibilities.

Triangle Strategy is one of the best exponents of the Japanese tactical role-playing game. Not only does it imitate the classics, it manages to catch up with them thanks to an exciting story full of intrigue, a conventional but effective battle system, and an original decision-making mechanism that guarantees replayability.
