Assassin's Creed Shadows blew me away with its beautiful graphics, expansive world, and historical depiction of Japan, and ultimately won me over with its fun combat and stealth systems. It's true that it's more of the same and lacks some innovation, but that didn't ruin the fun. The tons of filler activities, imprecise controls that were sometimes frustrating, and the poor pacing of its story knocked it down a few notches, but I fervently believe it's the best game in the series in at least a decade, and I recommend it to fans of the series and lovers of Japanese history alike.

Inkle never disappoints when it comes to surprising us with new ideas. Although Expelled! shares the same mechanics as Overboard!, its story is full of surprises, intriguing characters, and unexpected twists that keep us interested in solving the mystery. Few games offer a detective experience like this one. It's especially perfect for portable platforms like Switch, phones, or Steam Deck due to its short, 15-20 minute game structure.

Even 30 years after their debut, the first two games in the Gensō Suikoden franchise, with only a handful of superficial improvements, haven't let the passage of time dull them. While this isn't a perfect collection, it is the definitive way to re-experience and preserve two of the Japanese RPG gems that were lost to time.

While it follows the same vein as It Takes Two and will undoubtedly appeal to fans of that game, it's not just "more of the same." Split Fiction has some very crazy and original ideas when it comes to creating minigames and new gameplay experiences amid a story about creativity and the importance of artistic expression that's very relevant today. Not all of its ideas work, it underuses its narrative a bit, and it has some minor technical issues, but it's definitely one of the best two-player multiplayer experiences I can recommend. Don't miss it.

The card games in Duel Monsters aren't differentiated by many factors, but alternatives like dice and capsules are perfect for a change of pace. Titles with RPG touches also have their appeal. Improvements like the ability to activate a sort of "trick" to save significant amounts of grinding fit just as well as Dark Magician in Yugi's deck. Players of the Spanish versions of the games should be warned of a few translation errors.

743 / 5,000 Monster Hunter Wilds is as good as World, and that's excellent. Its gameplay systems, captivating setting, and awesome monsters work in perfect harmony to deliver an experience that can keep us hooked for hundreds of hours while we farm the gear we want and have fun with friends. The story is the best in the series so far, and while it has some thing that don't work, it's a good effort. It's a great game, but I lament the lack of innovation and willingness to take risks that the series demonstrated in Monster Hunter Rise and the loss of a certain friction that made hunts more interesting. That and the occasional performance hitches are issues, but they don't make the game any less fun.

As a fan of vampire stories, Cabernet gave me exactly what I wanted: a narrative-driven RPG that let me be the kind of bloodsucker I wanted to be while dealing with the dramas of vampire society and human relationships that could change as soon as I felt a bit of bloodlust. While the character animations didn't quite convince me and I was severely plagued by constant bugs, I fell in love with this game and will play it again just to see what kind of vampire I become if I make different choices.

Despite the positive aspects, it's worth noting that the game starring Majima—despite having original mechanics—draws heavily from the previous installment. But one thing we're sure of is that this isn't the last time we'll see Shimano's crazy dog.

Avowed is a contradictory RPG. On one hand, it offers a mature narrative, a beautiful world, and fun combat. On the other, the pointless simplification of mechanics and recurring bugs mar the experience. Is it worth playing? On Xbox and via Game Pass, yes. It's a journey no Obsidian fan should miss, if only to see Eora brought to life in 3D in a different way. It's not the revolutionary title we were hoping for, but it's definitely a fun game if you focus on its captivating story.

302 / 5,000 It's nice to relive the beginnings of the long-running The Sims franchise, and we hope the flaws in these two collections are corrected. Even more so, we're eager to see what the near future holds with a fifth installment that won't be called that, but which, at the end of the day, will still be "The Sims 5" for fans.

We can't deny this feels like a thing of the past for new players. Its game modes aren't sufficient, and in the case of the entry mode, the quality of life options for the player are minimal. Despite this, aside from some netcode issues, for us Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is a great gateway for those interested in SEGA's fighting game to be ready for the newly announced installment from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

This isn't a game for everyone. Its relentless realism, slow pace, and mechanical complexity will demand patience. But for those looking for a mature RPG, uncompromising in fantasy, it's a masterpiece. The technical advances compared to the first installment, the expansion of the world, and the narrative depth make this sequel a unique experience. It's not perfect—its excessive realism is its main difficulty—but its ambition and authenticity make it indispensable. This title, more than a realistic game, could very well be a history lesson.

It offers a take on the classic and beloved match-3 game with a strong visual identity, but it doesn't take any mechanical risks. The story mode isn't anything special and lacks the option to play online, but its well-defined aesthetic, varied character designs, and relaxing tone could win it many fans.

While I certainly wanted more plants and puzzles, Botany Manor's short duration and relatively low difficulty are perfectly suited. It's a calm and enjoyable experience in a very colorful world that makes us reflect on the role of women in science and smile when we make a plant flower.

The Stone of Madness captivated me from the first few minutes with its wide variety of stealth options, mysterious plot, and excellent setting. Not even the annoying bugs I encountered and a few frustrating points I had to redo countless times made me hesitate to keep playing, but less patient gamers might be less tolerant of its difficulty.

There are no major additions beyond its visual update, maintaining Retro Studios' punishing difficulty level. It's still a challenging platformer that deserves to be completed to the fullest, but loading times and price may be deciding factors for potential buyers.

The hours I spent with Mika and the Witch's Mountain weren't many, but they were very enjoyable. What it lacks in mechanical depth, it makes up for with calming gameplay systems, a very relaxing setting, and a heartwarming anti-capitalist plot about community life. It's not a huge challenge or an epic adventure, but it's the comforting experience many of us need right now.

This classic is a product for die-hard JRPG fans—especially in our region. Its lack of Spanish localization, and its exploration and lack of NPC work mean that more modern players may struggle or unnecessarily prolong their adventure. However, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a testament to Falcom's boss design and features music that has managed to stand the test of time.

Freedom Wars Remastered offers thrilling Monster Hunter-style multiplayer action in an intriguing dystopian world, but the improvements over the original are mere cosmetic improvements. It feels dated in many ways, the missions can be repetitive, and its narrative undermines its seemingly revolutionary intentions. It's a good game, and we're glad it's been revived, but it doesn't offer anything special.

Perfectly reproduces the universe and the dynamics between the characters, which thanks to the excellent voice acting and musical atmosphere complement each other perfectly to make the player feel like they are in one of the films of the classic trilogy. Unfortunately, the game has some flaws, but despite this it is a game that you should definitely play and despite not having as much action as others in the genre, it has managed to quench our thirst for adventure that the lack of a new Uncharted has left.
