“If you are passionate about the work of Frank Herbert, Dune: Spice Wars is the ideal game to live adventures and explore the setting of one of the most important sagas in the history of science fiction.”

“The particular setting of the game, inspired by the Victorian era and surrounded by a soundtrack so discreet that sometimes it seems to disappear, invites a lot to that slow and reflective way of seeing them coming that it proposes to us. The fact that you have to advance a lot to find the truly complicated challenges also tells us about the patience that such a title requires, but everything along the way is so balanced, so well studied and so satisfying when we finally find the right key, that the hours invested in it will not leave us with that mental exhaustion typical of other products of the same genre.”

“Let's face it: we love to live great stories and feel part of them. Although it is not the main thing in a video game, a good plot will always catch the player for many hours of gameplay. And this Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case achieves this purpose, proposing an exciting and well-written plot, with a multitude of very well planned and not cheating twists, an enviable rhythm, brilliant dialogues and characters that overflow charisma.”

“In the end, you can define Quake II, in one word: intensity. Those sweet moments that get some works in which not only the mechanics are fun, but work as a gear for a greater cause. In this case, maintain its dizzying pace and help the player to use the entire team without falling into conformism. So much so that, after finishing the campaign, the first question that comes to mind is: what if I start again with the amount of things I have learned now? That's where it all makes sense and you realize that, indeed, Quake II is eternal.”

“As players, we must make decisions so that the story of Death Becomes You puts the cards on the table, risking pointing the finger at someone despite the consequences we may face a posteriori, or that someone suffers a horrendous end.”

“Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg is an invitation to rescue the dreams we left behind, some of which are claiming a place in our adult lives to feel ourselves again. And it does so through a very minimalist and colorful proposal that seems taken from a story. A proposal that emphasizes relaxation without resorting to tension, to be able to walk at our own pace feeling our own feet.”

“In the end, Layers of Fear (2023) is all that, a place where darkness and enigmas invade everything. The first part of the experience consists of a tunnel of terror with very few mechanics to its credit, in which the setting, light and sound effects are present in each car. In the second, we will have to defend ourselves from elements that only inhabit our worst nightmares ... A cast that will be responsible for making it difficult for us and that promise a macabre journey to the depths of terror.”

“In a rural environment, in the heart of the universe, inconsequentiality, existential emptiness, lack of values, deep dissatisfaction reign... On the edge of the most absolute abyss, without any direction or anchorage that gives us security, Loop8: Summer of Gods invites us, in the old way, to face that looped piece that deals with the destruction and reconstruction of things. In this regard, slowing down its execution to get out of it, without additional iterations.”

“From Cyber Connect 2 they intend to make the player reflect on many aspects, directly hitting the morality of each person. Not only does it try to get us into the skin of the different members that make up the work, but it also puts us in the position of doubting if in our day to day we are doing the right thing. When we make the decision we think is the right one, we move forward with our idea blinded to the end, without listening to the advice of those around us. And perhaps, this means that we realize the error when it is too late. This is Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2.”

“Pirates Outlaws is a title that mixes the best of card and roguelike games in a seemingly simple formula.”

“However, they are also a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge, as well as values. And if not, just ask Peppa Pig: A World of Adventures, because from the beginning it incorporates what the little ones use in their lives, seeking to establish a common thread so that they can get involved and participate in the design of their own learning.”

“A highly powerful piece of visual imagery that manages to overcome its humble origins with a DNA-proof will and sheer hard personal effort.”

“Producing a sense of loss and vulnerability, Remorse: The List embraces bloody situations, images of explicit violence and grotesque dangers.”

“Through annihilation and survival, Raiden IV x MIKADO remix offers an experience as frenetic as the shoot'em ups of years gone by.”

“Martian experience that transmits the anguish of being alone in the vastness of space.”

“Trenches is a videoludic work in which we recover images and scenarios from the past, preserving our experiences and emotions, and elaborating a personal story set in the horrors of war.”

“Mixing role-playing, combat and social simulation, Persona 3 Portable teaches us the importance of living in a world of stubborn, hopeless despair.”

“Chained Echoes is a title that knows how to honour the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future through a development inspired by the great tradition of the JRPG genre.”

“Through an atmosphere that transmits positive energy, Bunny Park invites us to regain the confidence of these lagomorph mammals.”

“Besides knowing the tragic truth about the fate of our protagonist, the events are narrated/played from this fantastic and real perspective, touching the player to discern the hard truth from the sweetened lie.”
