La Orden del Pixel's Reviews
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.

Bombshell Harrison is back in Phantom Fury, a new, more ambitious, bigger and more destructive installment loaded with details that show a lot of effort, but a loose consistency and rough edges that evidence a rushed development. As a result, Bombshell's new adventure leaves mixed feelings. Still, it is playable, although perhaps it would be good to wait for a discount to give it a chance.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle, the battle royale previously exclusive to Stadia, debuts on all platforms with an ideal proposal to play a few games when time is short. Fans of Bandai Namco's official mascot will surely be more than happy to see him back. The rest of the audience, however, will probably quickly run out of reasons to keep playing after a handful of hours.

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.

Vengeance of Mr. Peppermint is a beat 'em up inspired by movies like Oldboy or The Chaser that, while boasting style and plenty of violence, falls short in several key aspects. It's not the worst game of the year, although it can't be denied that it's perhaps one of the most disappointing. Its trailer gave a glimpse of something that later in practice does not end up being fulfilled. Hack The Publisher could have given life to a perfect homage to Korean thrillers.

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.

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.

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.

More than a game, Indika is a narrative experience that not only approaches religion from a philosophical perspective, but also poses a satirical critique of the videogame industry itself. A title that invites us to immerse ourselves in a unique, strange and emotionally impacting journey.

Dead Island 2 is back in the spotlight thanks to SoLA, the second DLC that expands the original experience by inviting us to take the stage of a massive zombie festival. the experience ends up feeling somewhat bittersweet. On the one hand, it maintains the level of excellence with which Dead Island 2 surprised us at the time. On the other hand, it is disappointing that this new DLC denies us again the possibility of being able to give closure to the main story. Despite this, it is a chapter that is fun thanks to allowing us to break zombie heads and make our way through hordes of undead.

Sand Land arrives in the world of video games with an adaptation that does justice to Akira Toriyama's work, at least in terms of heart and soul. It may not be to the taste of those who were expecting a very deep experience in terms of mechanics, but it will satisfy the fans of the original work and its excellent author.

Children of the Sun is a captivating videogame that with a mixture of somewhat disparate genres manages to make its way into the independent scene with a fresh and very original proposal. Devolver Digital once again proves that its aim is excessively remarkable to come up with titles that give a lot to talk about. Puzzles and shooting couldn't be better combined.

Millennia is a 4X strategy game that refers to Civilization, but far from being limited to copying, it seeks to innovate and provide differentiating elements within the genre. Of course, it has many things to fix, but the work of C Prompt Games can be enjoyed and with the necessary adjustments, it could become a title to have for every fan of the genre.

With Broken Roads, Drop Bear Bytes invites us to travel the roads of a post-apocalyptic Australia, through an interesting RPG experience with a philosophical narrative. A decent title, with a trite setting, but with enough personality to trace its own path.

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a boomer shooter inspired by the legendary Quake that seeks to add to the growing repertoire of the genre, with a decent proposal. It's a videogame that doesn't manage to stand out enough, but even so and despite this, it's an option to take into consideration.

With Pepper Grinder, Ahr Ech proposes a creative gameplay, where using a drill we will have to make our way through a frenetic platform adventure. A title that offers enough variety to stay away from boredom and that doesn't feel repetitive at any time.
