Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is a triumphant ode to an unique and difficult idea. The story is very good, the quantity, variety of choices and consequences is truly impressive, and the work put in here to make everything make logical and narrative sense is sublime. The songs are divine, the performances of all the actors are perfect, without exception, and it just doesn't have a permanent place on Olympus due to several technical problems that prove that the game was created by mortals. Still, and because it always left us with music in our hearts, it is a work quite worthy of entering the Pantheon.

Remnant II is, without a doubt, one of the best looter-shooters today. A very well thought out, fun and challenging title whether in a solo adventure or in a shared adventure with up to two other players with content for dozens of hours. And... with three DLC planned to continue this brilliant ARPG, I don't see why it can't grow and provide more and more hours of fun. A game that I highly recommend to all fans of this genre of games!

AEW Fight Forever, with some bugs, a very weak career mode, a limited number of fight modes and a very small number of fighters, is far from being a "rival" wrestling company game . It's sad to note that the entrance music and the entrances of certain fighters are present, however the fighters themselves are not present in the game and, in some cases, they appear as DLC on the launch day of the game itself! Even though I think it's a pretty fun game, there wasn't a single moment where I felt really hooked on the game, much less excited about playing it. It's not that it's bad, it's just not "there yet". Perhaps this is the beginning of a great game franchise, but this initial entry does not go down in history without a doubt.

The 10 year wait for a new Pikmin was excruciating. If it's true that not all this time was invested in Pikmin 4, it certainly feels like it was. The number of modes, areas, missions, Pikmin and enemies in this package is impressive, but not as impressive as its consistent excellence. If you've never played a Pikmin adventure, this beautiful, addictive and fun iteration is without a doubt the best way to get to know the series... especially because it's the easiest. Even with some wasted opportunities in terms of difficulty, cooperative mode and puzzles, Pikmin 4 stands out as one of the best games in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

A creative adventure, dense in collectibles, enhanced by incredible level designs... it had everything to be one of the best 3D platformers of recent years. However, the annoying lack of difficulty in Tinykin leaves a void in the experience, which limits the enjoyment of the experience for more experienced players.

Final Fantasy XVI is a page-turner. Better still, it's the beginning of a new book. Although there are some things that still bring to mind the weight that the name carries, Square Enix takes a completely different path in almost everything this experience gives us. It's a good story, with its exceptional peaks, but the climb up there is quite boring and difficult to digest. It feels that, somewhere in middle of the story there are repetitive moments of sloppiness that greatly undermined everything good that this Final Fantasy could provide us. I accept that the changes had to happen, but it leaves a bittersweet taste in the end.

GYLT is a good and fun experience, with clear foundations in titles like Silent Hill or Alan Wake, and, without inventing anything new, it manages to have the solid structure of a good game. A topic as delicate as bullying is constantly present and, combined with the text and the dark atmosphere, makes this title quite appealing for those who like the genre.

Pikmin 2 manages to simultaneously evolve the gameplay of Pikmin 1 in countless aspects and put into practice several decisions that nullify the best elements of the predecessor. It is still a great experience but with small adjustments, it could go far beyond "great". On top of that, the Nintendo Switch port decided to mess with what worked, de-characterizing some of the game's most memorable elements. Beyond that, it's a basic version with an upscale to HD, a controversial new control scheme, and a handful of quality-of-life tweaks.

Just like it was in 2001, Pikmin 1 remains a unique and wildly inventive strategy adventure that deserves everyone's time and attention. There's nothing new in this version; all that's been done is an HD upscale, a controversial new control scheme, and a handful of quality-of-life tweaks, but the core Pikmin 1 experience is so polished and timeless that it's impossible not to recommend it.

Layers of Fear is an enticing package for any horror game fan. With several very interesting narratives about the disturbing and neurotic aspects of different artists' lives, visual and sound directions so well achieved, there are not many games that manage to instil a sense of tension as well as this remake. It's just a shame some aspects of the gameplay continue to leave something to be desired. But don't be fooled: Layers of Fear is one of the best horror series on the market.

Despite not being the biggest fan of the Street Fighter series, I can see great potential in this game and it's not thanks to its graphics or character design as it has always done an excellent job in these aspects. The real highlight is undoubtedly its innovative and unique combat, its' controls that allows any player to enjoy the game, whether experienced or not, and last but not least the story mode. There are countless cases of combat games that try to make a story mode of this qualitu and never succeed. Street Fighter 6 is without a doubt a must-have game for fans of the series, as well as fans of fighting games in general. Perhaps one of the best in recent years.

If we were to say that this is an expanded and revitalized Breath of the Wild, we would be underestimating the level of creativity and ambition present in this sequel. It is very rare to find a game with the inventiveness of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; moreover, one that invites you to innovate by his side. It's perfect? No. However, the small (and numerous) defects that we can point out to this experience are grains of sand on this desert that is the charm and fascination that it exercises and still holds over us after more than a hundred hours on this map. It's the perfect excuse to experience or return to this version of Hyrule, and if you've dedicated dozens of hours to Breath of the Wild, you could easily invest hundreds into the sequel.

Diablo IV is an excellent game with huge potential for healthy growth, and with two expansions already announced! Blizzard has always accustomed us to engaging and passionate stories and it also does not disappoint with this new title which, in addition to the enormous graphic quality and the excellent voice acting work, becomes something delicious. With this quality and the number of hours that we can spend on this game, the price tag on the Standard Edition turns out to be more than justified, even if for our reality it may seem a bit steep. It seems to me to be a perfect ARPG for the more casual player, who comes home and wants to relax for 2~3 hours. Alone or with others, it's a super fun and challenging experience on the highest difficulties.

Miasma Chronicles, as the title of this review indicates, is strategic enough. And I say this with the highest esteem. An interesting visual experience, where the main characters are well characterized in a pleasant narrative. Perhaps it fails in using its surroundings to increase the experience, something that I believe that fans of the style would certainly appreciate. However, with all the good things it brings, it doesn't minimize the experience in the least. It will certainly leave a significant impression on the player.

Whether you’re a fan of the classics or new player, and whether you love strategy game or you’re total newbies, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a quality pack. Deep and accessible in equal measures, the gameplay expertly balances simplicity and challenge, making it so that players with all sorts of tastes can get many, many hours of fun from these remakes’ campaigns. There are quite a few frustrating aspects and levels that have us raising eyebrows, but that doesn’t stop this from being a quality title that will please any Nintendo fan.

Not only is :Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" one of the best Star Wars games ever made, it's also one of the best single player adventures EA has ever published. The gameplay is varied, challenging and incredibly captivating, the open worlds are impeccably well designed, and the story is more compelling than most movies and series that have come out in the last decade. It's fun from start to finish, and just falls out of contention for game of the year due to all the technical issues that continue to plague the experience even after multiple updates. If Fallen Order managed to reach the status of Jedi Knight, Survivor reaches the level of Jedi Master... even if it is bumpy.

The wait was long... but really long! However, the wait was really worth it! With a greatly improved gameplay, very charismatic main characters and a cooperative mode available, it is a pleasure to immerse oneself in this world. Despite the farewell to the open world and its missions being repeated and the story a bit cliché, the end result is quite positive and is, in our opinion, a must-have game for all Survival Horror fans.

Future Redeemed served primarily to “put the dots in the i's”, but it would be unfair to say that that's all this latest DLC for Xenoblade Chorincles 3 is. Above all, it is a culmination of several elements and mechanics of this series that leaves us to ponder its future with very positive expectations. For the most attentive and knowledgeable of the global plot, the final chapter of this DLC opens up immense possibilities, making it impossible not to be anxious about what could come in the future. If you're a fan of JRPGs this is a series you can't miss!

This is possibly the best game in the series in the last 15 years and it would not be surprising if many people hailed it as the best ever. The improved and faster gameplay, the cast of characters that despite having some missing, still manages to exceed 240 men and women fighters and all the beauty of the game from its menus to the character entries leaves anyone delighted with what is to see on television. Anyone who played the previous one, liked it and manages to buy this is a must-have game to put on your shelf.

Resident Evil 4 is once again a milestone for all fans of horror and survival games in the form of its remake. By retelling and slightly expanding one of the best stories in the series and significantly modernizing the gameplay compared to the original, this game once again raises the bar on what we can expect from the entire survival horror genre. It's not perfect, and it would benefit from being a little more concise, but Resident Evil 4 is an injection of fun and quality into your lives.
