“Minimally improved over the Ultimate version, this Gears of War Reloaded justifies its release thanks to its arrival on PlayStation 5, which is clearly its target audience. For that reason, its reception will be completely different across platforms: of little or no interest to Xbox and PC users who already enjoyed the previous version, but very appealing to PlayStation 5 users who, until now, had not been able to experience what is one of Microsoft Studios’ best sagas. A great saga, whose original title remains one of its finest entries.”

“It remains to be seen how this work will end with film number 2, which will be released next April, but for now, we have been delighted by Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. It offers a narrative adventure full of very charismatic characters, impeccable artistic design and a soundtrack used with skill at the most appropriate moments.”

“LEGO Horizon Adventures has been an adventure that I have enjoyed more than I expected, however, it does not shine in all its sections equally. The technical section is impeccable, but in terms of gameplay it has certain aspects that have room for improvement. A longer duration and a more varied gameplay proposal would have shaped an outstanding title, a rating that comes close, but does not reach.”

“While it is true that we are facing a completely unnecessary remaster, the different possibilities to enjoy it are quite accessible. The visual improvement is indisputable, and it is gratifying to be able to play the original installment with the technical section of the sequel. In addition, if we take into account that the remaster includes the expansion "The Frozen Wilds" with new areas, weapons, enemies and characters, they make this remaster a product of greater value and interest than other remasters such as Until Dawn or The Last of Us.”

“Life Is Strange: Double Exposure is a great point-and-click adventure. One of the best in the dramatic genre, however, we expected a bigger revolution with the return of Max Caufield. His new powers, although attractive, do not offer much depth in terms of gameplay, and the plot, which is always one of the fundamental pillars of the saga, has certain ups and downs. However, it is a great story with extremely charismatic characters that we will not forget. The best of all is that the promise is firm, Max will return, and we hope that next time he will do so with an adventure that lives up to what this character deserves.”

“Until Dawn remains a remarkable work, just like the original, but this new version should have been a gift to all owners of the game that Supermassive Games released in 2015. A reduced price for the PC version and an upgrade for PS5 would have made more sense than the €70 outlay that it requires to simply look better.”

“We feel that 3 Minutes To Midnight has been a work conceived by true lovers of graphic adventures, who have known how to focus their efforts on what really matters in the genre. Crazy and acid humor, countless perfectly written dialogues, an exemplary cast of characters full of charisma, as well as a staging that captivates thanks to impeccable artistic direction. All this gives shape to a work that from this moment on is part of the best modern graphic adventures of recent years.”

“Stellar Blade is one of the best action oriented experiences on PS5 and manages to meet pretty high standards in most of its aspects. However, even if Stellar Blade is able to stand on its own two feet, more often than not it tends to remind you of other video games. In the end, there's a few little things that prevent Stellar Blade from becoming a memorable experience.”

“Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a discreet, well-thought-out metroidvania that is accessible to the vast majority of players, both experienced and new. A proposal that will be attractive to lovers of the genre. However, those who are looking for a title at the level of the best games of this title, currently has a wide range of alternatives on the market that they will surely enjoy more.”

“Dragon's Dogma returns with a sequel that lives up to expectations, which invites us to fully immerse ourselves in a universe that we can enjoy in the way we like thanks to the different vocations available. A sequel that is quite continuous with respect to the original installment and Dark Arisen, in the good, but also in the bad. After enjoying Capcom's new gem, we can't overlook some mechanizations that seem a bit old and that perhaps could have been polished and modernized a little more. Despite this, this is an outstanding RPG title that will delight all fans of the genre”

“Guacamelee! 2 provides yet again an exquisite metroidvania adventure where action, platforming and hilarous humor remain as its main assets. However, it lacks new elements to really make a difference.”
