“BALL x PIT is pure fun, like Dead Cells, Hades II, and other roguelites that have hit the right notes. Its design incorporates classics like Arkanoid and bullet hell shooters, and the truth is, the mix works and is incredibly addictive.”

“Dying Light The Beast doesn't reinvent the wheel or introduce changes that revolutionize the series, but it does polish many aspects, enrich others, and add enough new features (a new setting, increased vehicle weight, etc.) to make the experience feel fresh, and it succeeds. And, most importantly, it's still as fun as the first day.”

“Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV is Nintendo's most complete party game, but it debuts on Nintendo Switch 2 with some qualms and questionable decisions, such as a lack of technical improvements to the Switch game or an overly limited GameShare option. But make no mistake: it's still the party king.”

“Although Pac-Man has starred in games across a wide variety of genres, in 2025 he adds another notch to his revolver: his first Metroidvania succeeds in combining the foundations of the genre with ideas from Toru Iwatani's creation and souls-like touches. The result is an entertaining, enjoyable game that's hard to put down. And it also comes with a free upgrade to Switch 2.”

“If you're going to play it on Nintendo Switch, make sure you do so in handheld mode and without Bluetooth headphones: that way you'll enjoy two unique rhythm and action gems just as their creators intended. It's a shame that input lag calibration on the TV is so archaic, so trial and error, because it can easily drive you crazy...”

“An outstanding speed game that, while not the most comprehensive in the world in terms of modes and options, offers a torrent of speed and adrenaline for very little money, and with interesting options like GameShare. Without a doubt, one of the first Switch 2 must-haves.”

“Without a doubt, Ghost Town is one of the best puzzle adventures you can enjoy right now on Meta Reality headsets , with very high production values ​​and a very entertaining development that, unfortunately, ends quickly and is likely to leave you wanting more.”

“Deliver At All Costs is one of those guilty pleasures we all have. It's a game that has some room for improvement (story, cinematics, loading times, etc.), but at the same time, its gameplay is so crazy and fun that it's hard to put down the controller: you'll want to keep running errands and exploring its world.”

“DONTNOD flexes its narrative muscles with an interesting offering that, without any major gameplay innovations, is engaging. While the first film drags on revealing all the cards, the second seems in a hurry to wrap things up quickly (it's half the length). That doesn't stop it from being a game DONTNOD fans will enjoy. The rest...”

“Donkey Kong Country Returns HD remains a fabulous 2D platformer that retains and expands on the magic of Rare's previous games: if you haven't played it on Wii and you like the genre, you should, as it's the best version of it yet. But at the same time, as an HD update, it's hard to shake the feeling that it could have offered something more.”

“Batman Arkham Shadow brings the gameplay of Batman's previous adventures to virtual reality, and it does so in masterful fashion, culminating a new story in which combat, investigation, and stealth feel like never before in the series. Now you are Batman, and you will only need Bruce Wayne's money to believe it.”

“Fitness Boxing 3 is a good complement for those who want to exercise with their console and add more routines, apart from going to the gym. It is more complete and varied than the previous installment, although it still has aspects that can be improved, starting with the scarcity of some options (variety of scenarios) or a crappy soundtrack full of MIDI covers.”

“It is indisputable that Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece, a superb western and one of Rockstar's best games. If you haven't played it, you're going to enjoy it in a big way. But at the same time, other factors, such as price or the absence of major improvements, slightly cast a shadow over what should have been a great debut.”

“Nixxes has once again completed a quality work, making a game from 2017, very beastly yes, look like a current PS5 and PC release. Not everyone will appreciate it because it doesn't change the gameplay at all and focuses on visual details, but you only have to put on the original to see that there is much more to it than meets the eye.”

“It may not be the best platformer of 2024, but The Smurfs: Dreams manages to stand out as an ideal proposal for all types of audiences, especially the youngest of the house, with a very enjoyable development, which hooks you from start to finish, and does not stretch unnecessarily.”

“Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is an adventure superior to my summer with the professor, although it still has problems, from extreme simplicity to a somewhat slow and monotonous development. But if you're into the crazy universe created by Yoshito Usui, and you like Japanese culture, you're very likely to be conquered.”

“The Lake House can be considered a conservative DLC, with a development that is not far from the Survival template. But what makes it special is the way it connects the universe of Remedy games, with a narrative and a story that you can enjoy without knowing the games, and that closes the plot well. Too bad it's so short.”

“The update of Until Dawn for PS5 and PC is not a bad game: it shines visually, despite flaws such as exaggerated gestures, firecrackers or not exceeding 30 fps, leaving a more realistic visual feast than on PS4. Too bad that the price is not tighter, like that of other remakes or remasters, because the perception of many players would change.”

“Crypt Custodian is a simple game about making animal friends in the afterlife that mixes isometric platformer and Metroidvania elements.”

“The Brave Squire is one of the indie surprises of 2024, a great game both in form and in substance, with original ideas (such as entering and leaving the pages) and a superb staging. You can reproach him for tending to repeat ideas, but everything he does, he does very well and with a good dose of fun along the way.”
