The original MGS3 still is a masterpiece of design and storytelling. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater adds a few quality of life improvements and polishes the gameplay a bit more while paying close attention to the original, presenting it to a new audience.

An ambitious—even daring—game that dares to reinvent an icon like Pac-Man in the Metroidvania genre. It strikes a remarkable balance by reimagining classic elements within a dark science fiction universe but has some noticeable visual flaws, sprawling and often confusing areas, and a slow pace of progression. Despite this, the title offers great boss battles, an outstanding soundtrack, and solid level design.

This is an absolute treasure of video game preservation that not only shows great respect for the originals, but also presents ways to play these titles that make them even better than they already were.

While it presents an interesting and promising story, the execution of this saga's first chapter feels like a step backward. The story thoroughly explores key characters and lays the groundwork for future events, but the campaign, new mechanics, and progression system are areas that need improvement in future expansions.

Gradius Origins is a gem of video game preservation, a respectful collection of the original titles that provides all the context we need to enjoy, understand, and study them.

The Game Kitchen delights us once again with an excellent 2D action title featuring stunning pixel graphics and great music. Although it's short, it offers a great level of challenge and even more difficult activities for those who want to demonstrate their mastery of the ninja arts. Its story leaves much to be desired, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best games of 2025.

Time Flies is a short and simple game with simple graphics, but that's not a flaw. It has excellent puzzles, a great sense of humor, and deep themes that make it a great experience.

Aside from showing off its fighters' special techniques in a fantastic way, this arena fighter doesn't do much to incorporate anything new into the genre other than integrating the later arcs of the anime's first season and its film. A greater number of playable characters will please fans of the series, but it's not necessarily what stands out amidst repetitive exploratory scenarios with little to offer.

We absolutely loved the world of Wheel World. The races offer a good challenge, the customization can completely change the way you play, and exploring the environments in search of parts and secrets is a pleasure. This is one of those games I'll return to again and again simply to enjoy exploring its environments and listening to its wonderful music, and the minor technical flaws don't detract from my experience at all.

This game simply disappoints. Its story mode is shallow and the single-player modes lack depth. The combat system is—despite its simplicity—promising, but it suffers from a serious imbalance between characters and mechanics like the Rush Combo, which easily allows for automatic combos, kills the player's motivation to experiment with more complex mechanics.

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of those surprises that only Nintendo can pull off. It's irreverent, original, and brutally fun. Despite some technical issues and a couple of questionable minor decisions, this is a game that feels fresh, necessary, and with its own identity. It's an adventure that not only reinvents Donkey Kong, but also makes him the perfect protagonist for a new generation. A game that, without recurring to nostalgia, smashes its way onto the list of must-haves for Switch 2.

I'm a veteran of the survival horror genre but I never truly felt comfortable with any of the control options it offers and its narrative never felt satisfying. But for every flaw it has, there's one thing it truly excels at: the setting is exquisite, it perfectly handles the retro visual style, and it has excellent puzzles and great level design. Definitely worth a try for genre fans who are always looking for more classic-flavored experiences.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is kind of "more of the same". It retains the gameplay and progression system with only minimal changes. While this offers a great experience, it doesn't fully maintain or preserve the original game. Despite this, the game continues to maintain the quality of the first collection and the maps from the original titles, along with new tracks created for this title. However, the changed gameplay of the fourth installment makes us wonder if we will see a final collection of this franchise or perhaps the next step will be to see an evolution in the Tony Hawk games.

These remastered versions of Patapon are more than an exersice in nostalgia. They're a glimpse into a different era when genres now considered "casual" demanded a lot of dedication from their players. Some of their elements—like the need to grind—may seem dated, but that's the kind of games they are. Even if they're frustrating, their charisma and devilishly catchy rhythms keep us glued to the screen. It's a shame they didn't include Patapon 3.

This Switch version is nothing special. Aside from adding an explorable city that only grants access to each mini-game location, it lacks content beyond repeating the same task over and over again in short, unexciting games.

Rematch is a fresh take on the overplayed EA and Konami formula for soccer. However, its narrow business model and limited single-player content overshadow the well-executed ideas.

The Mario Kart formula has evolved. While the game still seems to have a lot to show, the truth is that Nintendo is going for something different. It's no longer just about racing and destroying your opponent; it's about exploring. Not all players may immediately fall in love with its open world or its new, unwritten rules, but there's something very special about navigating the streets of the Mushroom Kingdom and racing on its avenues.

This is a solid remaster worth a try for both fans of the series and those who never experienced the original. Its brilliant combat system, multiple job customization options, and a simple but well-executed story guarantee a memorable adventure for those who enjoy trying it or replaying it. More than a worthy return to the game, it's an opportunity for those who haven't tried it to get a taste of it and fall in love with all its virtues. However, a Latin American localization was missing, as the game is currently translated into Spanish.

Quantum Witch tells a proudly queer and humorous story about complex themes such as religion, manipulation, divinity, and freedom. It could have offered more in terms of gameplay, but the multiple narrative paths and its adorable aesthetic left me more than satisfied.

Where the first Death Stranding was original and daring, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is repetitive and boring. It's a sequel too scared to stray from its predecessor. The new tools and scenarios are nothing more than window dressing for a repetitive experience, accompanied by a bland story filled with ideas that Hideo Kojima had used much better in other games. Its technical quality is impressive and it features great performances, but only those who finished the previous game and were left wanting more of the same will be able to fully appreciate it.
