La Orden del Pixel's Reviews
Deathbound is a soulslike game with a unique atmosphere and a gameplay whose mechanics make it a very different title from what we are used to seeing in the genre. Finding a soulslike that offers something new and fun is a challenge. In addition, the message of growth and transformation that seeks to convey is evident, addressing serious issues such as religious fanaticism, the ephemeral nature of life and the horrors of war.

Abathor, the action-platformer developed by Pow Pixel Games is a tribute to arcade classics and a great reason to celebrate for fans of the genre. Abathor squeezes but doesn't choke. It's challenging and can get frustrating, but the sense of gratification that comes from beating a tricky boss or level is priceless. It is an ideal game to share with friends, but it can also be enjoyed (and a lot!) alone. Undoubtedly, one of the best proposals of modern action and platform.

Veritus, the new release from Colorgrave, expands the captivating universe established in Prodigal, with a proposal that emphasizes narrative without neglecting the gameplay that characterizes them so much. Colorgrave manages to captivate with a mysterious but entertaining retro adventure, but modernized, with intriguing characters and a gameplay as varied as fun.

With Horror Tales: The Beggar, Carlos Coronado offers us a surprising horror adventure, which shines for a remarkable visual section and a set of very original mechanics. A proposal with a fair duration, which is best enjoyed in one gulp. The story is kept in the line of the simple, although it does not stop being interesting. However, it is the excellent visual section that takes the palms, along with a dynamic of very interesting and original mechanics.

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is a metroidvania that stands out for its solid narrative and a gameplay whose mechanics slightly manage to make it stand out among its peers. A petit metroidvania that can brighten up a weekend, since it won't let us escape from its clutches until it's finished.

More than an expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree is a completely new adventure that puts an end to a cycle, inviting us to review a memorable saga. It is difficult to determine what the future holds for the studio or even for the genre that made it so popular. Be that as it may, we will always have The Lands Between.

Anger Foot, the new work of Free Lives, offers a crazy, frenetic and fun proposal, which invites us to clean a city full of ruffians by force of kicks. A game full of humor whose frenetic gameplay invites us to enjoy crazy action by kicking everything that crosses our path. Visually it is very striking and the moving soundtrack does nothing but motivate us to throw kicks and send the enemies through the air.

Autopsy Simulator manages to capture the dissection of corpses with great rigor, inviting us to enjoy an interesting experience from the perspective of a forensic doctor. An excellent simulator at a technical level and shines when it comes to capture with great rigor the task of carrying out forensic autopsies. In that sense it is great thanks to the deployment that makes this science, and also for presenting a level of immersion that reaches the point that we can almost feel the smells of a morgue.

With Noreya: The Gold Project, Dreamirl proposes a creative twist to the metroidvania genre, with an interesting adventure that stands out for its careful technical aspect. A rather pleasant title that raises some very interesting ideas that allow us to define the attributes of the protagonist and the exploration of the map, something that is not often seen.

The Final Shape marks the end point for Destiny 2, the conclusion of a saga that Bungie has been building for 10 years, and in which it's all or nothing. Bungie proved that it had a couple of aces up its sleeve, with the ability to surprise with an expansion that rose to the occasion. The Final Shape closes with a decade of story, characters and moments.

With Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked! Konami brings back from oblivion one of the best 16-bit characters in a compilation that shines for its quality and respect for the original work. A compilation that does a great job of preservation and is the perfect excuse to return to play these three action platformers that, despite having 3 decades on their shoulders, continue to give a lecture among all the exponents of the genre.

With Morbid: The Lords Of Ire, Still Running invites us to discover a reimagining of his previous work, with a soulslike that leaves aside the pixel art graphics to give way to 3D environments. However, the technical section does not quite accompany the transition, causing the immersion to be notably diluted. As a result, Still Running's new work complies, but is a step below its predecessor.

Ghost of Tsushima arrives on PC with a technically impeccable port, offering a new audience the chance to enjoy a title that stands out, but has plenty of potential for much more. an experience that, on the one hand, holds back and does not allow itself to develop its full potential. A title held back by the need to comply with the conventions of the medium, which fails to fully spread its wings to end up crowning itself as something unique, remaining fluttering on the ground of the familiar.

Crow Country is a title that transports us non-stop to the PlayStation 1 survival horror era, thanks to a technical and playable section that perfectly captures the style of the '90s. A videogame that has everything to be considered as 'the great indie surprise' so far this year, ideal to get started in survival horror and, at the same time, bring back the veterans of the genre to a time when terror was on everyone's lips.

Zet Zillions, the new work of OTA IMON, invites us to enjoy a very quirky and charismatic space odyssey, set in the same universe of Wolfstride. A very charismatic game, whose visual section is striking and extremely 'cool', recommended for any fan of roguelike with cards and, why not, for anyone looking for a proposal with which to enter the genre.

With Hellblade 2, Ninja Theory proves that it knows how to tell a complex and compelling story, elevating the original experience in every way and setting the bar higher than ever. A true new generation narrative adventure in which all its components serve a common purpose. From the presentation, to the absence of tutorials, to each of the battles, they all play an essential role in the construction of an intense plot, leaving us ready for the final outcome.
