La Orden del Pixel's Reviews
With Static Dread, SolarSuit Games offers a game that abandons the typical monster-shooting approach to deliver a suffocating and deeply disturbing Lovecraftian experience. A title that abandons the generic monster-shooting approach to immerse us in Lovecraft's work in an original and different way, in a disturbing and constantly deteriorating environment.

Nightdive Studios surprises us with Heretic + Hexen, a remastered combo of Raven Software titles that allows us to enjoy two classics from the history of FPS games once again. We are talking about games that are still completely relevant today. So much so that they have given rise to a whole new subgenre of FPS games that seek to emulate that period. Heretic + Hexen is a remaster that proves that the original works are thoroughly enjoyable for both nostalgic fans and newcomers to the genre.

Hell is Us is a unique adventure that invites us to discover a world in ruins ravaged by the cruelty of war, where the dark side of humanity drives the entire experience. The title by Rogue Factor isn't perfect, but it touches on very interesting topics within its narrative, such as hell, and transposes it to its reality, in the heart and soul of humans.

The Necromancer's Tale is an RPG that moves away from power fantasy to rely on a masterful narrative where every decision has its price. It is an RPG experience that demands time, attention, and setting aside preconceptions such as the heroic figure of the protagonist. It is a title that offers a story that simmers slowly, where every decision—even the most insignificant ones—can have a notable impact on the story.

Earthion is the new shoot 'em up from Ancient Corporation that takes us back to the days of the Mega Drive, reminding us that there are genres and consoles that age like fine wine. An atypical gem that arrives too late to be considered a classic of the past, but which has everything it takes to sit at the table with the greats of the genre.

Tripwire Interactive takes us back to its zombie apocalypse with Killing Floor 3, a game that seeks to reinvent its identity but still needs some polishing. I find it hard to admit that it failed to produce that frenzy characteristic of the franchise in me. I felt exhausted while waiting for something to complete the experience, but it never came. I understand that it has all the potential to mark a turning point in the franchise. Tripwire Interactive deserves a vote of confidence. I'm sure the team is taking notes from community discussions to establish a harmonious roadmap that will finally establish Killing Floor 3.

The Game Kitchen shines with Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a challenging 2D platform adventure that combines the classic with the modern, keeping the spirit of the series intact. It knows how to combine the classic with the modern and bring the spirit of a series whose origins date back to the 1980s into 2025. The speed and vertigo of the gameplay, emphasized by a wonderful soundtrack, is a clear invitation to jump and swing your sword, as well as enjoy an original story.

Sam Porter Bridges returns in Death Stranding 2, a more spectacular, ambitious, and accessible adventure that makes it clear that Hideo Kojima continues to live up to his own legend. It's a fantastic title that offers action and infiltration as only Hideo Kojima knows how, but also drama and tension. And not just from the script, but when a snowstorm or thunderstorm breaks out in the middle of a delivery. The level of immersion is overwhelming, the hours fly by, and it invites you to keep playing.

Gaucho and the Grassland is an adventure with hints of a farm simulator steeped in Brazilian folklore, but reflecting the culture of all of Latin America. It stands out not only for its open gameplay, but also for offering a heartfelt tribute to Latin American culture and folklore, a theme rarely explored in video games. It's true that Epopeia Games' title isn't going to redefine the genre, but it offers a different approach to farm simulators, placing narrative and exploration above the typical goal of making money.

Vixa Games invites you to survive in the cold and desolate mountains of Alaska in Edge of Sanity, an adventure inspired by Lovecraft's myths that tests your sanity. It's a fun video game that captures the Lovecraftian atmosphere very well, although as the hours go by, it gradually loses steam. This is mainly because you have to repeat levels over and over again to get resources, and because there isn't much to do in the camp towards the end. Despite this, the gameplay is solid and offers some variety when it comes to tackling different challenges.

Following its successful release on PlayStation 5, Stellar Blade arrives on PC with a highly optimized version that allows us to enjoy a title that is much more than just a pretty face. Cosmetic customization enhances the exuberance, beauty, and elegance represented in Eve, which certain ideological discourses attempted to censor. Kim Hyung-tae is a genius who took special care to ensure good taste. Because while the model is a central focus, she is not the only thing worth highlighting, and she never feels vulgar, but rather an elegant display of attributes.

The Precinct puts us in the shoes of a law enforcement officer in a city corrupt to the core in an interesting experience that pays homage to the police series and films of the 1980s. Its greatest strengths lie in the depth of its mechanics. However, the experience is marred by poor AI, a sloppy driving system, and repetitive activities. A game that is enjoyable, especially for those who, as children, once dreamed of becoming police officers amid the neon lights of Miami.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the turn-based RPG from Sandfall Interactive, has revolutionized the genre, taking a community accustomed to ongoing sagas by surprise. Sandfall Interactive has created a brilliant video game, one that has achieved masterpiece status. There is no other turn-based RPG today that offers a similar experience, and few can match this instant classic. I am convinced that it is the best game of 2025 and that, in a few years' time, we will see its true impact on the genre.

Pinocchio returns to his adventures in Lies of P: Overture, a DLC that maintains the same level of quality as the original work while adding welcome improvements to the gameplay experience. It's a very good DLC that maintains the same level of quality that Lies of P surprised me with at the time. It adds a ton of improvements, extra content, surprises, secrets, and accessibility options, making it an excellent incentive for those who didn't enjoy this excellent title at the time, but also a must-have for those who were left wanting more.

Blades of Fire, MercurySteam's latest release, feels like a spiritual successor to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, but with an extremely original and narratively solid approach. It's a game that emphasizes exploration and combat through a system that, while not perfect, is varied and entertaining. Of course, I can't overlook the Forge mechanic, which adds an extremely interesting system to the overall experience, around which much of the gameplay revolves.

Peglin is a brilliant alternative within the roguelike genre, taking all the classic elements of the genre and transporting them to uncharted territory in the form of pachinko, with spectacular results. It's true that part of the difficulty lies in luck, as we have little control over the board beyond the relics and the special effects of the balls, but even so, it's an extremely addictive game that we can return to again and again.

Since its announcement, Lies of P generated equal parts surprise and skepticism with a premise that sounded ridiculous but ended up becoming one of the benchmarks of the genre. It is a game that managed to take a familiar concept and make it its own, taking a risky premise and developing it with surprising seriousness. As a result, the overall experience ended up being much better in practice than on paper. A video game that earned its place among the greats on its own merits.

With Post Trauma, Red Souls Games brings us a survival horror game that doesn't seek to reinvent the genre but rather to remind us why we love it, with a compact and challenging experience. It's a video game created by a team of five people, and I'm sure that these aspects are areas for improvement in the future. Despite its ups and downs, I believe it does enough to earn a well-deserved place within the genre, so it's worth venturing into the Penumbra, even if it means hanging a map on the wall.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, Capcom's classic that combines horror and Japanese mythology, returns with a new installment that keeps alive an experience with more than 20 years behind it. A remaster that updates just enough to let the original work shine on its own. And boy, does it shine! I celebrate this release and hope they continue to adapt the two remaining installments, especially the spectacular Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.
