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.

Even if some of the campaign's design choices are unfortunate, Kirby's Return to Dream Land is still fun 10 years after its original release. With a number of significant improvements and content additions that anyone who has played this platformer on Wii should be able to justify the purchase, the Switch version is a solid recommendation for all types of players and the best version of this adventure of the pink ball and the your friends. Still, this remake could have gone further in adding new features and correcting the title's biggest defects.

Atomic Heart is a game that constantly takes one step back for every two it takes forward. Everything that does extremely well always comes with a “but” stuck in it. Visually it is incredibly beautiful, but the characters are ugly. The third-person shooter gameplay is extremely fun, but the arena design is frustrating. The world and the story are quite interesting, but there's one more twist that doesn't make sense and the protagonist is obnoxious. Still, it's an experience with more significant highs than lows, and one that fans of first-person shooters can take a lot of pleasure from.

Wild Hearts brings some (but little) originality to a genre that is already quite beaten. Players who enjoy Monster Hunter, but who already feel saturated with it, will be able to find here some new mechanics that are quite interesting. We also highlight the monsters, which are well characterized and are not excessive, such as weapons (except their evolutions), armor and environments, it seems that (almost) everything has found its natural balance in Wild Hearts.

Hogwarts Legacy manages to transport us to a magical world of wizards, castles, magical creatures and lots of adventure. In this game, they will be able to truly feel what it would be like to spend a year at Hogwarts, visiting some of its most iconic places. Whether or not you are a fan of the adventures of Harry Potter or Newt Scammader, you were certainly delighted with what the game presents.

Powerwash Simulator is one of the most relaxing and rewarding gaming experiences I can remember. The simple and immersive gameplay leads to an authentic state of zen for dozens of hours, falling short of nirvana due to a boring design decision and technical problems that end up being exhausting. Even so, it's a great game to relax and wash away our irritations and day-to-day problems, making it a recommendable experience even for those who aren't fans of this type of games.

A game that was nearly perfect just got even better. Without much fuss, just with an aesthetic treatment and improved controls, we are facing an experience that is in no way behind the most recent releases. This is truly an excellent Metroid 3D, with a challenging exploration and suspense component, facing a planet full of dangers and mysteries. A highly recommended game for lovers of the genre and anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch.
