Launch Window“Knight of Honor II has been quite an amazing title, perfect for newbies and old strategists alike. Strategically interesting, with a remarkable visual design but it has an AI that leaves something to be desired and sometimes in some events it can be unfair. Even so, the title has managed to be quite a success, a title that shortens the distance between civilization and Crusader kings, leaving a great taste in the mouth.”

Late Review“I didn't expect Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator to be such a good title, the good sound design and its visual simplicity are great components of a title with an excellent casual/strategic mix. Although sometimes we can be overwhelmed by the recipes that our customers ask for. Still, it's a lovely game if you're a fan of casual or strategy games.”

Launch Window“The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is an excellent addition to the series. There is definitely more good than bad in this edition and fans will be delighted. The only piece that is really missing is an interesting drawing game; there is a round of drawing in Nonsensory, but it is not the center of attention. On the other hand, thanks to transduction we will be able to have this and future installments adapted to our language.”
“With IXION the folks at Bulkwark Studios have radically traded in their alternate future formula for a compelling and well written space odyssey set in the far reaches of the universe. The connection between the gameplay and the dynamic narrative is impressive, and the result is a great experience.”

Launch Window“Hello Neighbor 2 has improved everything from its previous installment. The title is committed to an improved artistic section and an improvement in the logic of its puzzles. In addition, an inventory has been added to be able to store objects but it maintains its rough control and cannot innovate. I'm sure the Eerie Guest is on the right track and they've made a very good sequel.”

Late Review“Dome Keeper is a survival game in an alien world where you have to dig for resources and defend yourself against hordes of enemies. The game has an interesting theme and a unique concept, where it offers progression and strategy elements as well as action adventure. It is exciting and challenging for survival lovers.”

Launch Window“Live by the Sword: Tactics is a traditional TRPG with a few interesting innovations but they don't end up giving an optimal result, except for an adventure mode that takes the chestnuts out of the fire and many other modes that it's better to ignore.”

Launch Window“There Is No Light is a totally recommendable title, although it doesn't quite shine as it would like, the game has a sensational visual aspect and a great narrative, but sometimes it is vague. Its combat system is quite mediocre and therefore ends up taking its toll on the overall rating.”

Early Review“The Outbound Ghost is a title that, despite its good story and its interesting visuals, falls short of the gameplay, being a monotonous title that fails to innovate and leaves us with a completely satisfactory feeling.”

Launch Window“Restless Soul is committed to surprising each and every one of its screens, it is not a really difficult title, although it is somewhat rough in its gameplay in action. Even so, it has certain adjustments to adapt its difficulty. The title has full compatibility and a more than acceptable duration of 5 hours. It is a highly recommended title if you are looking for a surprising title with a good story full of humor.”

Launch Window“Blossom Tales: The MInotaur Prince, continues to be a continuation title, it seeks to introduce some other mechanics although it still has a main problem, its little originality and that is that few games are as good a copy of Zelda as the Blossom saga does, such, that still does not find a more personal visual aspect, the soundtrack feels good and complies at all times, it is undoubtedly a luxury title if you are a follower of the Zelda saga or are simply looking for a substitute.”

Launch Window“Retreat to Enen is one of those titles that tries to innovate and totally falls by the wayside, sometimes looking for new things is not the best solution. This is what happens with this title, which has a fairly short duration, since it basically consists of visiting the ruins of each map. In addition, the mechanics of meditating are not very well implemented and can be even tedious. Undoubtedly, despite having a very careful graphic style and some interesting ideas, it is not a recommended title, even if survival is your favorite genre. It will be necessary to see if in the future it improves based on updates.”
“Hazel Sky, the new work of Coffee Addict Studio, has been a bit short. Its duration of 4 hours, more than enough, its beautiful cartoon section and its history, are ingredients that can make you give it a try. Even so, I must say that it is not a difficult game, so it will not be a great challenge.”

Launch Window“Legends of Kingdom Rush is a sensational turn-based Rogue-lite/ Rpg, completing it will be easy but mastering it will take a little more. Due to its variety of characters, artistic section and its great accessibility, it is an exceptional title to start in the genre.”

Launch Window“Neon Blight you have very good ideas on paper, but not all the works can be perfect, in this case, its good decisions in the design are overshadowed by its multiple errors in the technical and sound part, being a game that is not recommended by now, only the future will be able to tell us if the title improves and is allowed to play.”

Late Review“Drill Deal - Oil Tycoon is a great oil platform manager, unique in its kind, it will teach us how to manage a platform, but the truth is that its tutorial is somewhat incomplete, failing to teach certain mechanics that can lead us to catastrophe. The trial and error cycle of early games may not be for everyone. Being vital to amortize the performance from the beginning, or the game will be doomed to absolute failure.”
“There are few drawbacks that we can find in Hellslave, the title looks amazing in all its aspects. With a mix of genres that goes like a glove, it is a highly recommended title for its game system, history, and audiovisual section. The truth is that the 'only' thing to object to is that there is still no translation into Spanish.”

Launch Window“Lila's Sky Ark is a small metroidvania where the gameplay is simple, its story is complex and difficult to understand. As a highlight, the sound and visual section is wonderful. We are also facing a prequel, so if you liked Resolutiion, Lila's Sky Ark is more than recommended.”

Launch Window“Pompom: The Great Space Rescue is a fun atypical platform title where we will help the adorable character to overcome the levels by properly placing the obstacles, a title suitable for all audiences that will bring out our inner demon in some phases.”

Launch Window“Perhaps Kardboard kings: Card shop simulator is not a very innovative title, although it mixes its plot with the management of the premises. It is a highly recommended game for lovers of management and good card games. However, its audiovisual and sound section leave something to be desired, being secondary elements.”
