Atari Mania offers us 50 years of history for the longest-running video game company in this medium, although 'in that way', brought together in a great fruit salad of its milestones of the 70s and 80s. Its meta-referential proposal is so special from the tribute, as irregular when we play it. We are the protagonists of a "Wreck-It Ralph" adventure where the highlight of it are micro-games in the style of Wario Ware or Puzzle & Action, but without the degree of success and enjoyment with the pad in hand. Combining franchises in these quick tests is as ingenious as the frustration and bad milk that is done with many of them, taking its toll when it comes to advancing and completing a game that is not too long, which knows how to get smiles and charm from its sympathy and nostalgia -dedicated exclusively to those who know these games-, as our most angry side in the face of some tests that are not very well resolved and frustrating.

The number that accompanies this extract is not worth much. Because in the monstrous, mammoth and even chaotic hurricane of action that Warhammer 40,000 - Shootas, Blood & Teef proposes, there is a great dividing line marked: what a solo player will find, and what we will have if we play accompanied, local cooperative or online until for four simultaneous players. In the first case, we have a Run'n Gun that draws from a particular design in control and arrangement of the action in arenas, or areas where the cleaning of enemies prevails over the 2D advance with jumps and dangers, staying in a campaign not too well solved for the lone wolves. In the second case, the chaos and action are multiplied, as well as the importance of coordination and collaboration between players, although this tidal wave of action on the screen is not always comfortable to place four main characters. But without a doubt, being that last facet that the game is really focused on. If you are interested in this game, and there are plenty of incentives for it, consider the way you will play Shootas, Blood & Teef, because the change of experience and the fun are totally opposite on both fronts.

The Last Oricru aims to combine the Souls style with the more traditional RPG, but it fails to live up to such an ambitious promise. Its main burden is in a combat system that falls far short of the necessary level of refinement.

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.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a worthy sequel. It offers what Innocence offered and more. It is perhaps guilty of being too continuous, especially in its first half, but in the second half it totally takes off. Recommended for lovers of stealth and/or its first installment.

Nier: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition is the best port of Nier: Automata that the Nintendo Switch could receive, and possibly the best port ever made on the system. If anyone has not yet played this outstanding work by Yoko Taro and Platinum Games, in this version you have a new opportunity that you should not miss.

The Case of the Golden Idol offers us one of the best recent investigative stories. The main gameplay mechanic is your brain and how you can deduce everything. It's an absolutely brilliant game and I wish more like it came out.

Trifox is a tribute to those of platform and action games like Ratchet & Clank or Jak and Daxter. Its curious system of fully customizable skills and classes makes us enjoy each combat and makes us want to create new combinations, plus its attractive cartoon style and its variety of situations make it very attractive compared to other games with a similar theme.

Despite having the same playable basis as previous titles, No More Heroes III adds enough playable improvements and novelties to notice a small evolution in the classic formula. Although the graphics section and performance are not its strong point, Goichi Suda's personal style and the freshness that he distills in each section make it a title to take into account.

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.

Let's Sing is back with Let's Sing Presents ABBA, a themed edition about the iconic Swedish pop band. 31 themes and several -and already well-known- game modes await us to enjoy this edition. We once again highlight the versatility offered by the Voxler title for the necessary microphone accessory. If we follow the Let's Sing franchise, and we like ABBA or at least its catchy and quite popular songs catch our attention, this edition becomes essential.

Valkyrie Elysium, while fun, is a missed opportunity. A magnificent combat system fails to fully support a game that is seriously hampered by the serious shortcomings resulting from the lack of resources during its development.

Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition is an original survival horror in which the office itself becomes an impromptu horror setting. The most everyday elements become our enemies, whom we must dodge, fight and face through an entire building full of secrets and managing the few resources we find. The plot, despite being interesting and well constructed, decides to pick up the pace in its final stretch and is not as perfect as it could have been. Even so, a highly recommended purchase, especially for fans of this genre, with the benefit of the extra content of this edition over the original game.

Sunday Gold is a fun, if sometimes frustrating, point & click adventure game with a simple turn-based combat system, and an elaborate narrative about bad guys trying to be good guys. It's not Disco Elysium and it doesn't try. Without a doubt, it is a title to take into account, just because of its successful mix.

Although the remake of XIII was released in 2020 to generally negative reviews, this version, which is now being released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series -and to which the 2020 versions will be updated for free- has corrected several of the initial problems of the game, although there is still work to be done. If you couldn't enjoy the original game in its day, this remake in its current state may already be a good option for it, as long as we stick to its flaws.

Airoheart goes well on the face and without any dissimulation: a game very similar in form and substance to the legendary Zelda: A Link to the Past. And that brings two good things, such as having a portion of neo-retro inspired by such a pinnacle of video games, and above all, that it has been made with excellent quality. Through an action-RPG, we will live a fabulous adventure, that many of us will "know" and that we will enjoy for it and for what Airoheart knows how to offer itself. Dungeons and a thorough exploration of the general map outside of them with the objects and resources obtained inside them, tremendously likeable characters that will 'speak' in 19 languages, a multitude of quests and secondary content, in a global adventure well drawn, accessible and of great enjoyment.

Gamedec is a game that follows in the footsteps of Disco Elysium to create a dystopian narrative title in which decisions are the most important thing. In this definitive edition, new playable chapters and secondary missions are added that will delight those who were left wanting more, in addition to solving several of the bugs that the first version of the game had.

The DioField Chronicle is a good game with a somewhat haphazard narrative structure and whose gameplay is sometimes not very fluid. Still, we will have fun with the adventures of Andrias and company: not everything has to be AAA games.

We all know that Obsidian is a great company that has us used to great products. Grounded is something different from what we're used to and it's a rather particular game that not everyone will like, but if you're just interested in the premise of survival and a feeling of loneliness that it proposes, you should give it a try.

Guybrush Threepwood returns to our consoles and PCs in an adventure that preserves the freshness of its predecessors, which will make us laugh more than once and in which it is clear that both Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman have put all their hearts. Perhaps it is guilty of being too conservative, looking more than necessary at the first installment, but even so, if you enjoyed the previous adventures of the good Guybrush, you are going to enjoy Return to Monkey Island like children.
