Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an action RPG based on the successful transmedia franchise Granblue Fantasy that comes with the mission of expanding the success of this franchise in the West. Although there was already an approach with a couple of fighting games programmed by Arc System Works, Relink is Cygames' big bet and they couldn't have been more successful, with a fairly solid, well-structured, very fun game, but one that is small. flaws that do not allow it to achieve the outstanding rating, even so, this is a highly recommended title.

The combination of genres in DAVE THE DIVER is as unexpected as it is effective. One part of the game consists of the management and administration of a small sushi restaurant and the other part will be focused on diving in a giant and quite deep pit to obtain the fish that will later be cooked and sold in the restaurant. The premise seems simple but hours of fun await us and we will be given the option to delve into its gameplay as much as we want. DAVE THE DIVER is one of the most interesting indies of the year and you have to try it without hesitation.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a spiritual sequel to Jet Set Radio and makes it clear from the first moment. They have managed to achieve all the defining elements of the Sega title, the aesthetics, the music, in a certain way the playability, although it is a little missed that they have taken a little more risk with the game. In short, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a totally recommendable game, both for those who enjoyed Jet Set Radio in their day and for the general public, the game has a lot of flow and very good vibes.

Risen stands out as an action RPG with a strong narrative focus, meaningful decisions, and a diverse world to explore.

In 2009 it went quite unnoticed, now we have the opportunity to remedy it.

Irem Collection Volume 1 is the first volume of five classics from the Japanese company Irem. This first compilation includes three shoot 'em ups of unquestionable quality such as Image Fight and its sequel, Image Fight II: Operation Deepstriker, and X Multiply. The presentation and options included in the compilation are quite good, although a few more extras such as galleries or documentation of the games may be missing to give it more packaging, but in general we are faced with a solid product. It is a shame that this volume only includes three titles and no more, even so, those interested in Irem - and lovers of shoot 'em ups - have a must-see date with this compilation.

Gothic II Complete Classic is the definitive version of the acclaimed western RPG Gothic II for Nintendo Switch. Following the structure of the first game in terms of narrative and development, Piranha Bytes offers us a much more satisfactory work that enhances the virtues of the previous game. Despite the mastery achieved in some sections, Gothic II is not free of flaws and elements that could be improved, although despite them, the Piranha Bytes game is still considered one of the greats of its genre.

Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is a very interesting compilation for Jurassic Park fans. It recovers the first games that accompanied Steven Spielberg's film and its fictional sequels, forming a compilation of 8 and 16-bit games in which a couple more games are missing. The quality of life improvements are appreciated and are great for some of the games. If you like what surrounds the Jurassic Park phenomenon, and you want to know the first titles with which the franchise started in the world of video games, don't miss it.

VISCO Collection is a compilation of 7 games that focuses on Visco Corporation titles that came out for the Neo Geo system, ignoring the two Breakers and games licensed by third parties. Although the Japanese company has other great titles that are not in this compilation as they are developed for other Arcade systems or boards, the titles included comply with what is proposed and several of them have received online multiplayer functions. VISCO Collection is a good approximation to the games that the Japanese company made for Neo Geo and deserves our attention.

Flashback 2 is a game that could have been but was left half done. It has interesting ideas but poorly executed, and the technical section shows that this game needed more time to cook properly. On the other side of the scale we find the setting, the artistic and audiovisual section, the development of the story and a certain variety. In the end the key is whether we adapt to the control or not, this being the key for Flashback 2 to become a pleasant experience or we leave it at the first opportunity, always trusting that the bugs will be fixed through patches, such as It has become customary, fortunately or unfortunately, in certain titles.

ASTLIBRA Revision is a side-action RPG developed by KEIZO, a single developer for a whopping 14 years. The game is quite dense both in terms of story and playable mechanics, and against all odds the result is outstanding, everything ends up working and fitting together perfectly and as soon as we let ourselves get caught up, we will have many hours of fun. This is a hidden gem that deserves much more recognition and is a must-have for lovers of the genre.

Gothic Classic is a slightly improved version of the 2001 Piranha Bytes classic Gothic. This is a Western open-world action RPG that stands out for its focus on exploration, non-linear narrative, and its fairly well-constructed dark fantasy open world. This version for Nintendo Switch has received some improvements such as a new controller control scheme, motion control, certain interface redesigns, some playable adjustments, but the base is still a 2001 game that technically has not aged well at all. It is up to the player to evaluate this title as an essential classic or as a game that is not recommended and difficult to play.

Football Manager 2024 is the last installment with the current engine before what promises to be a turning point in the saga, and they could not have done it in a better way, bringing the best and most polished version of the game so far, and addressing demands such as the import of games or the inclusion of the J-League. The tactical improvements, squad management and transfers, and the match simulation engine will delight all fans. The only shame that comes to mind seeing the expertise of the guys at Sports Interactive is that they have not managed to consolidate a saga of the same quality for other sports such as basketball or ice hockey despite their attempts a few years ago. with this latest sporting modality.

More and better could perfectly be the subtitle of this Super Woden GP 2. ViJuDa has done it again, taking control of this new installment gives us an audiovisual and playable delight. It has polished everything before and taken it further, offering us a wealth of content and hours of fun ahead. If you missed the previous one, don't miss this installment.

Air Twister is the new title from Yu Suzuki and his studio YS.NET, a rail shooter spiritual successor to Suzuki's famous Space Harrier with Sega. A very bizarre game awaits us with many dissonant elements that may surprise us or take us out of place, but when the action starts is when we will see that everything works and we will let ourselves go. The game is fun and easy to play, Yu Suziki doesn't seem to have lost his touch, and if you like this type of game, you are going to enjoy it.

The guys from Dambuster bring us with Dead Island 2: Haus a short DLC that shows what they are capable of. In this first story DLC of the two that includes the expansion pass, we will enjoy a story completely separated from the main thread, told with a peculiar sense of humor and an excellent visual display. Dead Island 2: Haus leaves us, without a doubt, wanting more.

Jusant demonstrates why Don't Nod should focus on these titles. We have a puzzle game where the master mechanic is climbing and the driving engine is an environmental narrative that will push us to continue climbing, this combination is the work of crazy people or geniuses, and we are more inclined towards the latter. If its curious and interesting proposal appeals to you, don't let it escape, it is one of those games that we will still be talking about in 10 years.

We can only be congratulated by the fact that Nippon Ichi and NIS America continue to offer us installments of this tactical RPG saga, as they have their own character and a lot to offer. The almost 30 hours - or almost 100 if we are going to squeeze the game - that Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless will last us make the investment make sense as long as we like the genre.

Ghostrunner 2 can be called a frenetic first-person action platformer like its first installment, which takes the best of it and enhances it with new playable possibilities and some very interesting new features such as the inclusion of the motorcycle. It is possible that the playable core is continuous with respect to the previous game, but it is not a negative thing when the first game was already outstanding. If you liked Ghostrunner, this sequel is a must, and if you haven't played the first one, you no longer have an excuse to pick up both.

The remake comes with the same new features as the remake of the first installment that was released last year and offers us a new story following the adult and gray tone of the previous title. We will return to pilot a fully customizable Wanzer while we choose the best strategy to survive the countless combats that await us. Fans of tactical RPGs should not miss it.

Telenet Shooting Collection is a compilation with four classic shoot 'em ups not very well known in the West but not lacking in quality. The four titles - Granada, Avenger, Gaiares and Psychic Storm - are unreleased in Europe and two of them did not even leave Japan. This is a highly recommended compilation for fans of the matamartianos genre and without a doubt the perfect opportunity to get to know these titles in the best possible way and with the corresponding accessibility improvements.
