La Orden del Pixel's Reviews
Graven is a retro aesthetic FPS with great aspirations through which it intends to pay tribute to the mythical Hexen, Heretic or Blood, but it fails when it comes down to it. You can see the love and effort that Slipgate Ironworks put into developing a title inspired by classics from the '90s. However, there are several elements that work against it, making it difficult to recommend.

Lords of Exile, the 2D adventure from Squidbit Works, captures the essence of playing a classic from the NES catalog but with some of the advantages of modern gaming. A fun arcade game that captures the essence of the classics of yesteryear without tripping over the layers of artificial difficulty of those titles. Throughout 8 levels it presents a simple and straightforward challenge, with a linear progression and a good dose of old-school action.

Ultros, Hadoque's title, is a very creative proposal that combines metroidvania elements with a series of very creative mechanics, resulting in a unique experience. A most unusual and even cathartic adventure that leaves you wanting more.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect expands the fighting game saga to the roguelite genre, with a very colorful artistic proposal, enriched by a varied gameplay full of possibilities. 91Act did a truly spectacular job, demonstrating that a saga can leave the margins to which we are accustomed and still be wonderful.

Tekken 8, the new installment of Bandai Namco's mythical fighting saga, surpasses what has been seen in previous installments with an excellent experience for both veteran and casual players.

Frictional Games surprises with Amnesia: The Bunker, an experience based on its most acclaimed franchise that will test our nerves thanks to a tense and oppressive atmosphere. It is a game that takes full advantage of uncertainty and the handling of lighting, atmosphere and sound effects make it a terrifyingly satisfying experience.

Wartales invites us once again to dive into its world with Pirates of Belerion, a DLC that expands the experience of an excellent title that seduces with its wide range of possibilities. The exploration and the new campaign make it a unique experience that helps to expand what is already an excellent videogame.

Despite its revamped graphics and soundtrack, Front Mission 2 Remake is an utterly forgettable and frustrating reimagining, thanks to a large and varied cast of problems. I just hope Square Enix treats their sagas better, because they went for the cheap option and it backfired. If they are not going to invest as they should to improve or fix past games, at least try not to break them anymore.

Cookie Cutter, Subcult Joint's debut game, fills our hands with pieces of meat, metal and guts in a highly stylized metroidvania, with frenetic and colorful combat. The story is a classic tale of revenge, but one that lends itself to enjoyment, especially thanks to the humor that accompanies it.

Orbit Studio and Play on Worlds offer an interesting twist with Ebenezer and the Invisible World, a metroidvania that adapts Charles Dickens' work with a lot of style and fun. It is definitely not the revolution of the genre, but it is an immersive experience that boasts a visual style that accompanies a nice Christmas story. An interesting proposal to take into account.

Chessarama takes the concepts of chess and translates them into a simple gameplay that challenges us to solve entertaining and complex puzzles through analytical thinking and didactics. It is a proposal that can be enjoyed without any knowledge of chess. But at the same time it rewards us by teaching us several concepts with which to break down that barrier that perhaps prevents us from accessing the traditional board game.

With The Kindeman Remedy, Troglobytes Games offers a murky experience, full of morally questionable situations, that will make us accomplices in a heinous investigation. A good option for those who want to try something different, with an unusual twist within the genre, which is fun, at least during the first few hours.

Valfaris: Mecha Therion, the new work of Steel Mantis, is the sequel to the acclaimed Valfaris that bets its entire legacy on a radical change of genre. It is one of those titles that we can leave installed on our hard disk since the space it occupies is well used. Besides, bursting mutant insects or battling a colossal boss to the sound of the best heavy metal is epic at any time, day or season of the year.

The Ashborne Games team shines with Last Train Home, a title with a lot of personality and attention to detail, where strategy and management coexist in a fantastic balance. All packed with an immersive narrative, based on historical facts that are not usually treated within the medium. A true marvel on rails.

Born of Bread is a fantastic RPG adventure brimming with charisma that features a dynamic combat system and a repertoire of extremely charming characters. WildArts Studio gives us a wonderful world, very cheerful and mysterious at the same time, with a story that develops very well and has some great twists.

Bontemps Games makes its debut with While The Iron's Hot, a simulator that leaves aside farms and crops to focus on manufacturing, appealing to a relaxed and fun game loop. an adventure that delivers what it promises and provides a good handful of hours of fun. But above all, a remarkably different approach within the genre.

Gemdrops revitalizes one of the best installments of the Star Ocean saga with Star Ocean: The Second Story R, a new remastering that offers a wonderful RPG experience. Square Enix should take into consideration giving more possibilities to Gemdrops because it is a studio that has the capacity to create real gems. A beautiful video game from the best era of the genre brought to the present day.

Salt and Sacrifice is the sequel to Salt and Sanctuary, Ska Studios' acclaimed 2D souls like, which seeks to reinvent itself by adding new systems and mechanics. However, it doesn't quite hit the nail on the head with certain mechanics, which leaves it a couple of steps below its predecessor. Even so, it manages to hold its ground solidly within the genre, thanks to experimenting with elements or systems that stand out in other renowned franchises.

The Pale Reach adds few new features to the gameplay proposal, but it is still an excellent excuse to sail again through the turbulent waters of one of the best games of 2023. It's not a DLC that makes Dredge a much better experience than it is, although it is a slightly more interesting one thanks to its two hours of new content.
