La Orden del Pixel's Reviews
Dambuster Studios seeks to monopolize our time with Dead Island 2 - Haus, the first DLC of the horror FPS that struggles to get on everyone's lips, but without the ambition to achieve it. It's not bad content, but it feels like a lot of wasted potential that, leaves us with a taste of little. Perhaps it would be better to wait a bit before returning to Hell-A.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, the new work of Upstream Arcade, is a roguelike that pays homage to Mike Mignola's iconic character, but stumbling a few times along the way. Recommended for Hellboy fans who want to take control of the charismatic demon and indulge in slapping and smashing heads with a wonderful art style that perfectly captures the aesthetics of the comic.

Ghostrunner 2, the new release from One More Level, is a spectacular action adventure that tests our reflexes as we move at full speed through a cyberpunk world. With a duration of approximately 12 hours, this installment only needs a simple plot and a handful of new villains to offer an adventure that is strengthened with a couple of new mechanics and a simple but effective gameplay.

Collossal Order returns with Cities: Skylines 2, the sequel to the acclaimed simulator that became a reference of the genre, which, although it does not redefine the experience, seeks to give it a new approach. A game whose additions are extremely solid, so much so as to satisfy a very detailed public that enjoys being in each and every one of the most intimate details of their creations.

Ion Fury: Aftershock is a DLC that will hardly manage to evangelize those who were in doubt but that, undoubtedly, will satisfy fans who want a little more of the same. A DLC that keeps the good things from the original game, but misses the opportunity to evolve in certain aspects.

Wizard With a Gun is a survival sandbox that, despite presenting a repetitive gameplay loop, its dynamism and simplicity make it an accessible proposal for everyone, fun and ideal to pass the time catching up with a friend on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness is a title that reminds us that madness can wear big shoes, white gloves, have a pale face and a red nose, but be far from making us laugh. It is a delicate title that brings together several elements to shape its mechanics and thus keep players in suspense. It is a shame that at times it is inevitable to disconnect from the central axis by entertaining us with actions that ultimately do not end up defining the protagonist or his intentions.

The Broken Spear team has managed to develop a title that, although it doesn't invent anything, offers a series of very entertaining missions that manage to keep you hooked for a long time. It still has a long way to go. Although Beneath Oresa has a great potential, it can undoubtedly be exploited even more.

The Lamplighters League, the new game from Harebrained Schemes, is a fun and interesting adventure, which stumbles in its attempt to put a twist on the turn-based tactics genre. The characters and setting are its strongest points, while the combat is fun and varied thanks to the abilities of each agent, which makes the game despite its rough edges, enjoyable.

Crimson Tactics: The Rise of The White Banner is a tactical RPG inspired by classics of the genre that, although it is technically polished, its irregularities in the gameplay do not allow it to shine. Those who are looking for a high-quality exponent of the genre will have to wait for those future patches that the title is crying out for.

Fading Afternoon, Yeo's new title is a beat 'em up with a unique narrative that conveys a range of emotions through the gameplay itself. While it's not a game for everyone, it's still a gem that's worth giving a chance.

Pizza Possum, the work of Cosy Computer, is a very fun and accessible videogame that appeals to our mischievous side and, above all, to our appetite, with a cartoonish art and a soundtrack that combines well with the theme, which make up the beautiful ribbon that ends up wrapping the game.

Starfield, Bethesda's new RPG is already among us, with a proposal that, although it falls back on old vices, also stands out for its virtues, which reach their highest point. But also a video game that is frustrating, not because it is bad, but because it is evident that it has the potential to be much better.

Moonstone Island is a lovely game that combines farm simulation with creature gathering, cards and turn-based combat, resulting in a colourful and varied mix. It's an inclusive and extremely wholesome game, full of nice details and a progression curve that feels very much in keeping. An excellent debut for Studio Supersoft.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge - Dimension Shellshock manages to perfectly capture an elusive essence that was lost in 1993. The one that dozens of other games tried to recreate without success. Working together with Dotemu paid off, delivering not only one of the best entries in the series, but the definitive Ninja Turtles videogame.

The Swordman Studio surprises with Wandering Sword, an RPG with a robust progression system and a unique setting inspired by mythical Chinese martial arts stories. A solid, interesting and unique title, with a storyline steeped in a number of wuxia clichés, but still enjoyable.

Gunbrella is an interesting side-scroller that offers polished gameplay and a precise control system. The noir-punk theme, coupled with a rough atmosphere, make Doinksoft's work one that I recommend, both for fans of hard-boiled stories and for those who like a lighthearted approach to the genre that offers a lot of fun thanks to its ideas and creativity.

Invader Studios brings us a new instalment of its survival horror saga with Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, a prequel with nods to the classics of the genre and some original problems. A fun adventure that is frustrating at times, and with a little exploited potential that I can only recommend to survival horror fans.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is both perfect and not. I don't think it's the best thing FromSoftware has created in the last decade, and yet I feel that one of the studio's greatest achievements was to go for it. I don't consider it the best game of 2023 either, but at the same time I feel it's the GOTY. The sixth installment of this mythical saga is more Armored Core than I expected.
