The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is the latest installment of The Legend of Heroes franchise released in the West and which, within the Trials series, is in charge of closing the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs. Nihon Falcon's JRPG will close the story of the last two series and lay the foundations for the Calvard arc, of which the first installment will soon reach the West. Although we are facing a title that grates at a high level, the fact that it closes two arcs and starts from the previous events does not make it a recommended game for new users. Of course, the fan of the franchise will enjoy it without a doubt.

Amnesia: The Bunker is the fourth installment in the star franchise from Frictional Games. We return to survival horror with more classic elements such as in The Dark Descent and we add significant innovations such as the use of some weapons to defend ourselves or help us advance or that the action takes place in a semi-open mapping that will allow us to explore as we see fit. assuming the risks of it. The result is quite solid and The Bunker's proposal fulfills its purpose, and the beast will make us feel constant tension and terror.

SENSE: Midnight is an old school survival horror inspired by several memorable 32-bit and 128-bit horror game titles. With a set of playable mechanics that we will soon recognize, we will try to ensure that our protagonist Kaho can escape alive from the abandoned park of Ikebukuro, where evil spirits will try to hunt us down. But this mixture of mechanics will end up colliding or will not be developed to a sufficient extent, leaving us with an experience that could be improved. Despite this, SENSEs: Midnight will find its audience among lovers of the most classic survival horror, offering an adventure with certain edges but at a contained price that will invite us to give it a try.

Raiden III x MIKADO MANIAX is the most complete version of the third installment of the Raiden series and is accompanied by an incredible new soundtrack produced by the prestigious Japanese Arcade game center Mikado, various extras, new game modes and a setting On point in terms of resolution, but it maintains some of the drawbacks of the original version of Raiden III, such as its overly simple scoring system. In any case, shoot 'em up lovers are in luck and whether they are familiar with the Raiden franchise or not, they will have a lot of fun with this version of Raiden III.

MotoGP23 becomes, difficult as it may seem, a game that will delight, at the same time, the rookies who did not dare to approach it and the most veterans in the world. If you like the world of motorcycling, you can not let it pass.

With Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Atlus brings us a compilation of HD versions that are, just like the original Nintendo DS versions, with the map now on the same screen, higher resolution and better sound, an easy difficulty mode and, finally, translation into our language. On the one hand, it is a very good opportunity to get hooked on a saga with tradition, but on the other, the price seems excessive for the type of product that we find.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure closes Crossbell's arc within The Legend of Heroes franchise and surpasses its previous installment, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, in practically everything, anyway you can't understand one without another and it is as recommended as necessary to play both. We finally have them here since their launch many years ago in Japan and we can only hope to see our heroes again in Trails into Reverie, the game that acts as an epilogue and union of the Crossbell arc and Trials of cold Steel.

Miasma Chronicles shows the mastery that the Swedish studio has been acquiring in the genre over the years, offering us a game that meets the mark in everything it offers. It does not delve too deeply into its mix of genres, offering a good balance and standing out in its tactical aspect. If you enjoyed his Mutant Year Zero, you can't miss Miasma Chronicles.

Valis: The Ghost Soldier Collection II includes four games from the Valis franchise that complement the first compilation released a while ago. We have Valis IV in its PC-Engine CD Rom² version, Valis: The Fantasm Soldier in its Mega Drive/Genesis version, Syd of Valis for Mega Drive/Genesis and an extra is Valis: The Fantasm Soldier in its MSX version, the first title of the franchise from 1986, although a couple more versions are still missing. Despite this, recovering this franchise has been very worthwhile, and with this second compilation we complete the adventures of Valis that will give us good times of fun.

Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection is a compilation that brings us the first three installments of a franchise that is quite unknown in the West. Although its first installment appeared on MSX in 1986 created by the Wolf Team, the compilation includes its remake for PC-Engine Super CD-ROM² and the second and third installments for PC-Engine CD-ROM². Added accessibility improvements and other extras that greatly improve the experience. Although having included at least Valis IV is missed, recovering this franchise has been very worthwhile, and the titles they offer us are competent platform and action games that will give us good times of fun.

Trails from Zero is one of the best games in The Legend of Heroes franchise offering quite a deep and satisfying experience. The story is interesting, the characters are well developed and the interaction with them is very successful. Although it was initially released on PlayStation Portable in 2010 for the Japanese market, the fan translation into English by the Geofront group has allowed NIS America to bring us this interesting title to the West. Any fan of role-playing games in general and Nihon Falcom titles in particular will enjoy it.

Redfall will surely not go down in the annals of Arkane Studios great works, nor will it become a console seller. It seems, in fact, a video game typical of more modest companies with errors and lack of optimization more typical of small independent companies. Beyond this, Redfall can give us hours of fun. The setting is attractive and the game can shine at times, even if it doesn't stand out in any particular way.

R-Type Final 3 Evolved comes exclusively to PlayStation 5, although it must be said that we are not really looking at a totally new installment, but rather an expanded version of the previous game. Of course, we will have many new features, different additions, new exclusive levels, a new technical section, and more surprises that together with the already recommended R-Type Final 2 campaign form a more than appetizing version. R-Type Final 3 Evolved is far from being a definitive version due to its DLC policy, but if we are fans of the franchise or the genre, we will be almost forced to put ourselves at the controls of our iconic R-9A Arrowhead and end the Bydo empire.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a remake of the first two games in the Wars turn-based strategy franchise that came to the West, Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising for the Game Boy Advance, and Like the original titles, this is an outstanding title. It is true that the artistic section chosen by WayForward for this remake can cause controversy, and that the online multiplayer mode has been left with very few options and possibilities, but otherwise all the additions add to a couple of titles that already reached levels of quality very high. We hope that this test balloon is successful and allows the return of the franchise with a new installment or a remake of the two installments of Nintendo DS, either project would be more than welcome.

The guys from Digital Sun show us that Moonlighter was not a flash in the pan and with this The Mageseeker they bring us another quite enjoyable product that will also delight lovers of the League of Legends universe. Although those who are not fans of this universe will miss a greater ambition in the project, the truth is that it is a very enjoyable product independently and accessible to all types of audiences.

Dead Island 2 is one of those rare cases in which a long-running project with developer changes ends up giving, nevertheless, a great product. We have had to wait a decade but we can say without a doubt that the wait has been worth it and that Dead Island 2 shines with its own light. If you enjoyed the first one, or even if you didn't have the chance to sink your teeth into it, Dead Island 2 becomes a must for any self-respecting lover of the genre.

GrimGrimoire OnceMore was the first Vanillaware game to be published in 2007 and now it has been given a fine-tuning with the GrimGrimoire OnceMore remaster. This revision that has just landed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch has improved the technical section with HD graphics and higher resolution, and has added some gameplay and accessibility improvements to finish polishing the original mechanics, as well as other extras. As a remaster, you can't ask for more because it clearly improves the original game, the only drawback is that it has not been translated into Spanish and that despite the improvements, GrimGrimoire is a very particular game and may not reach all audiences.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection includes the 10 main Game Boy Advance installments of the Battle Network subsaga divided into two volumes. We are facing a notable compilation, with interesting additions and news, in addition to all the content of the Japanese editions that did not arrive in their day. The gameplay undergoes a radical change going from action games and platforms to strategic RPGs, so perhaps the fan of the classic Mega Man will be lost with the proposal, although if we get hold of the formula, we have hours of fun ahead.

During the more than thirty hours that Disgaea 6 Complete promises to keep us glued to the screen, we will have the pleasure of enjoying a new adventure that maintains the level to which Nippon Ichi Software has accustomed us. Some nice graphics, decent audio, English subtitles, which must be taken into account, and some characters and combat that are the best of the saga.

Curse of the Sea Rats, called ratoidvania by its creator, is a pretty standard metroidvania. It stands out for its exquisitely animated and hand-drawn character design, and for offering four-player co-op, something not very typical for the subgenre. Despite its interesting premise, its execution has not been perfect. There are many small details that the user can decide to ignore and enjoy the adventure or they can spoil the experience a bit. Even so, the game is fun and engaging, so we can only recommend it.
