Tiny Tina's Wonderlands presents itself as a worthy adventure of its own, which while bringing some weight from Borderlands, makes up for these annoying habits with a set of changes that not only appeal to fans of the saga, but create a foundation for a completely different experience than what we are used to. It will be hard to spend an afternoon playing Wonderlands and not flash a single smile.

Dying Light 2 offers everything fans wanted: a bigger world, more and better characters, new modes and locations for exploration, among a multitude of content. Although with some questionable design decisions, it presents an even more immersive story than its predecessor, with a slow start, but a climax worthy of the term.

FIFA 23 says goodbye to the name in its best form in recent years. It's not brilliant, but it is uncomplicatedly the best soccer game you will find this year in all aspects: gameplay, graphics, game modes, and above all fun.

All in all, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a JRPG good enough to be enjoyed on its own, but whose narrative and storyline take on added weight when there is the context of the Sky and Cold Steel saga behind it. Still, the narrative's focus on a small scale allows it to sell a very personal and intriguing world, with the more 'retro' soundtrack, gameplay and graphics helping the euphony. It is genuinely sad that there are two visually different versions between PS4, Switch and PC, however this is an adventure worth experiencing for fans of the genre regardless of platform of choice.

Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is a faithful remake that does not attempt to drastically change the original game, focusing instead on improving and expanding upon the first game. A game for the fans. Fun, funny, and chaotic.

It took a while, but it's here. It's about time Pac-Man returned to the spotlight of not only video games but platformers, and no saga would do it better than Pac-Man World. Definitely an essential purchase for fans of the character and the genre! Let the next ones come.

Digimon Survive played with my slight prejudice and inexperience with the series and fooled me extraordinarily well. Its combat is simple but solid, but it's as a visual novel that manages to carry a story with dense, calculating overtones, turning the experience into an extremely competent project full of new routes of connections and choices to explore.

Thymesia is a very interesting game. On the one hand, it's hard to find unique aspects that define it, leaning too much on its inspirations, lacking that defining light. On the other hand, the team's expertise in design and game mechanics show the talent and potential for something more. Thymesia is a good start to what could be an impressive future for Overborder Studio.

I don't know how Ghostrunner: Complete Edition slipped under my radar for two years, but it proved to be a very fun title. As the bastard and illegitimate child of Cyberpunk 2077 and Mirror's Edge, several aspects such as the narrative, atmosphere and frenetic gameplay are to be commended, as well as the Project Hel adventure and the overall good performance of the title. The only regrets are the bugs that occurred, the length of the adventure and the lack of accessibility options. Still this is a video game worthy of your time and attention, even more so if the themes employed are of interest to you.

F1 2022 is back in full force and promises to occupy the hearts of single-seater fans, less good note for the F1 life mode that adds little and for the absence of f3 and historic cars. In the end it's a few French fries in need of ketchup and a little too much salt!

The Quarry brings Supermassive's standard quality in a shot across the bow of what it captures in horror movies. There are plenty of decisions for us to build our narrative, and while they could be more concrete, they give us chances to get back on track. A short adventure but full of captivating moments.

Trek To Yomi is the most perfect 2.5D homage you'll find to Japanese mythology and culture, but above all with a special focus on the cinematic achievements of Akira Kurosawa, delivering wonderfully well, and stealing full credit for the simple and rather repetitive gameplay that stays with us for about five hours of gameplay.

The game has an interesting and visually appealing open world, and exploration is accompanied by a divine soundtrack, but there is little endgame content, and many of the side quests and exploration missions can become tedious due to a lack of objectives and originality.

Arise: A Simple Story takes you on a journey of emotions through the memories of a protagonist. A simple and focused story, quite unique among the industry's common epic narratives. Being a game where you control the time, it also surprises by the fact that it respects the player's time a lot, being a shorter experience (about 4 hours), but free of any unnecessary moments or irrelevant content.

All in all, Phantom Breaker: Omnia is an essential game for lovers of the style, and if a small amateur like me enjoyed it so much, I can imagine the pleasure that a veteran and lover of fighting games can feel when giving himself body and soul to this title.

Criticized positively by other means as the most ambitious iteration of the franchise, Pokémon Legends: Arceus conveys the feeling of being a cake in the oven for quite some time. It is the adventure that all fans have dreamed of, a departure from all the "gum" already more than chewed by then, and the least tautological. Game Freak has risked every chip in hand, creating one of the most exciting video games on its menu, full of several points for and few against. Granted, the overall performance isn't the best, as well as moving the focus away from battles causes some general inconsistencies but Hisui, with everything associated with it, is so much fun and full of life. It may not be more than perfect, but it is definitely better than imagination.
