The Wolf Among Us Remastered preserves the solid story—crafted by Telltale—that explores themes of redemption and social dilemmas. While aesthetic improvements and additional content add value, the shortcomings in the interface, the lack of customization options, and the rigidity of the mechanics—by today’s standards—make this an extremely conservative remaster, one that will likely only appeal to those experiencing this universe for the first time.

Valor Mortis has all the elements to become one of my favorite games—a solid combat system, an intriguing story, and satisfying exploration—but a plot that goes nowhere, a dull protagonist, and the clumsy handling of its themes left me feeling weary long before reaching the end. Fans of the soulslike genre will appreciate its mechanics, but the concepts deserved a better narrative.

Tales of Eternia Remastered successfully revives a classic title that previously faced various distribution and language-related challenges. Furthermore, quality-of-life improvements—such as a random encounter toggle, map markers, and the full inclusion of voiced dialogue sequences—provide a perfect reason for those already familiar with the original game to revisit it. Combined with the additional bonus content, this makes it an essential title for fans of retro games.

I can only recommend Qliphah in Providence's Shadow to a niche group of players who are deeply interested in complex yet intriguing combat systems, as that is the only decent thing this game has to offer. Its story is poor, the narrative is handled clumsily, and the art direction is terrible. Hopefully, its more compelling combat mechanics will eventually be put to use in a better game in the future.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is clearly a step forward compared to last year’s installment. The implementation of a campaign with a more human—and less experimental—narrative focus set on the Korean front, combined with an open-structured mission design and highly refined weapon simulation, gives the title a distinct identity within a franchise that had begun to feel stagnant. Likewise, the consolidation of DMZ as an in-depth—and, above all, accessible—extraction mode provides a lasting gameplay variant. Despite these successes, the game is not without its flaws. The rigidity of the traditional story missions, occasional lapses in artificial intelligence, and recurring issues with respawn zones in multiplayer maps prevent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from reaching the level of polish seen in the franchise’s heyday. Nevertheless, this new entry restores the quality of the series, offering a wealth of well-executed content for fans of the genre.

Tom The Postgirl is an exceptionally simple, effortless graphic adventure, yet it proves to be incredibly funny thanks to its raw, uncompromising humor. It rewards player curiosity well, and its short runtime works in its favor, leading up to a fun major revelation.

This is a great collection, both for those nostalgic for the Super Nintendo era and for anyone looking to discover a trio of fun, straightforward platformers. However, modern game collections—such as those offered by Digital Eclipse and M2—have set a high standard for the inclusion of documentary material, which is sadly absent from the Joe & Mac Retro Collection. We also regret the omission of the Arcade, NES, Game Boy, and other versions of the original game.

Virtue and a Sledgehammer is the perfect game for anyone filled with rage toward the current state of society and wants to unleash it. It tells a striking science fiction story that forces us to question what we truly consider "human" and whether we fear that definition might change; it then hands us a sledgehammer so we can smash everything to pieces if we don’t like the answer. While the combat elements could perhaps be better, and the pacing suffers a bit toward the end, there is no doubt that this game is an important work of art.

Phantom Blade Zero does not define itself as a 'soulslike'—and rightly so, as the number of bosses it features doesn't compare to that genre. Instead, it leans toward character-action gameplay, incorporating RPG elements through the upgrading of weapons and 'Spectral Blades.' These are tied to sub-bosses and major (or optional) bosses—encounters that can sometimes act as roadblocks to progress if you fail to identify and exploit their weaknesses. With its well-realized atmosphere and expansive maps to explore, it is an ideal title if you are looking for dozens of hours of gameplay and significant tests of your skill.

Tenebris Somnia is a beautiful work of art in the survival horror genre. All its elements —combat, puzzles, narrative, and aesthetics— work in perfect harmony to deliver a fantastic horror experience. It is one of the best games of the year and a source of pride for Latin America. No horror lover should miss it.

Penguin Colony is a fascinating work of art that offers a much-needed reappropriation of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories, transforming them into a significant anti-colonial and anti-fascist narrative. It is a pity that its brilliant storytelling risks being overshadowed by technical issues, problems with controls and movement, and confusing environments.

Gears of War: E-Day is a highly solid entry in the Xbox franchise that successfully recaptures the series' core gameplay identity, horror, and visual grittiness. Although it stumbles in terms of narrative pacing, enemy variety, and certain artificial intelligence issues, its graphical performance and the evolution of its combat system more than make up for these shortcomings.

Stupid Never Dies offers a blend of action, exploration, and stat management, anchored by strong replayability, dynamic combat—enhanced by character transformations—and a highly distinctive art style. While it suffers from some frustrating design choices—such as awkward camera handling, an overabundance of currencies, and repetitive, tedious resource-gathering phases required to progress through the story—its solid combat mechanics, unique aesthetic, and lighthearted narrative manage to strike a balance, ultimately delivering a great experience for the player.

Despite its presentation, Orbitals fails to live up to the high expectations set when we first encountered it; nevertheless, it fulfills its purpose as a cooperative game designed to be enjoyed with friends. We found the story somewhat dull and certain mechanics feel overly simplistic, but the cooperative gameplay provided enough great moments to make the 8-to-12-hour adventure an enjoyable experience.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave isn’t a game for everyone—it’s long, repetitive, and somewhat difficult—but its well-told story, memorable characters, and brilliant battles make it a title that any fan of RPGs or tactical video games should check out. If you own a Switch 2, it’s an essential play.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 directly addresses the primary shortcomings of its predecessor through more complex level design, a greater variety of enemies, and the inclusion of two playable characters, each with unique combat mechanics. While the reduced emphasis on the narrative and occasional AI glitches are not major issues, the game delivers a satisfying experience for both fans of this genre of shooters and enthusiasts of the Games Workshop universe.

At first glance, Just Dance: Decades of Hits doesn't seem to offer much that is new, but the adventure mode is more fun than expected, the selection of classic songs is excellent, and the new ways of organizing the tracklist were really needed. The problem that if we want more songs, we have to pay for the Just Dance+ subscription.

Castlevania returns to the 'Metroidvania' genre it helped popularize. It doesn't takes the crown, but it proves it can still put up a serious fight. Belmont's Curse is a great 2D action game featuring excellent level design, a fantastic atmosphere, and some of the best platforming challenges we've seen in a long time. The combat pacing takes time to get a hold on, but once you learn to control Rose, you won't want to stop until you've defeated Dracula.

Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III] is a massive game bundle that encapsulates one of the most ambitious RPG franchises of the last 20 years. This collection stands out for offering the definitive versions of the saga's main titles, visually memorable world design, an exceptional soundtrack, and a vast amount of content—including the Re Mind expansion and other extras that cover story developments from titles no longer available on the market. However, the collection omits key installments like Melody of Memory and other perspectives from the Chi mobile saga. Additionally, converting titles such as 358/2 Days and Re:coded into mere movies devoid of gameplay diminishes the collection's value in terms of game preservation. Despite this—and considering its price—this collection represents a great opportunity to get ready for the launch of Kingdom Hearts 4.

Silver Pines proves that the survival horror and Metroidvania genres were made for each other. It isn't particularly scary and enemy encounters could be better, but its mysterious *Twin Peaks*-inspired narrative, excellent atmosphere, and superb map design make it an unmissable experience.
