One of the best Game Cube games arrives, 20 years later, to become one of the best Nintendo Switch games. With brilliant visual remastering work and bomb-proof (energy) gameplay, Metroid Prime remains a masterpiece.

90 / 100 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 6, 2023

Hogwarts Legacy has the same structure you've seen in any other modern open world game, but, at the same time, it fills you with memories from long time ago... When a Flipendo was all you needed to push a block. It may no do anything different or relevant than those games, but it has something they lack: magic.

90 / 100 - Hi-Fi Rush
Jan 28, 2023

Hi-Fi Rush successfully combines the intensity and depth of a hack'n slash with the demanding precision of a rhythm game, achieving a fresh and vibrant experience in which every combat is an injection of adrenaline.

It is a pity that the opportunity has not been taken to make a definitive version of Persona 3 with all the good things of Persona 3 FES and P3P, but to be able to play such a jewel on modern platforms and for the first time with Spanish translation is already a small triumph.

If you've swallowed the thousands of episodes that make up the anime (so far), chances are One Piece Odyssey is the game you've always dreamed of. But if you don't know what a Devil Fruit is and you're looking for a great RPG to sink your teeth into, you'd better keep looking.

75 / 100 - High on Life
Dec 14, 2022

An entertaining first-person shooter that gets better with every new talking gun you get. Crazy situations, constant dialogues and a sense of humor can be his strengths... or weak, depending on your tastes. But if you like Rick & Morty, you're going to enjoy it for sure.

The perfect example of how all next-gen updates should be: visual improvements on all fronts, several graphic modes, playable and QOL changes, a few touches of new content... And more importantly: completely free. The Witcher 3 was already a masterpiece and now, in addition, it looks scandalous.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is more than a remaster, yes, but just in some ways. In many others, it's still the same PSP game... for better and for worse. Nevertheless, this is the best version to discover Zack's story... or to reunite with an old friend.

85 / 100 - Evil West
Nov 21, 2022

Evil West has the style of a B-movie (in a good way) and the proposal of a PS3/360 game (again, in a good way): it gives exactly what it promises, goes what it goes, does not entertain with nonsense, does not fill for the sake of filling and ends when it has to end. It is a game of those that are no longer made; It's amazing.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet capture all the magic of the past and merge it with the improvements of the future, resulting in two fresh installments with very good ideas. The graphics is still their biggest weakness, but they shine so brightly in everything else and they are SO special games... that they get our A's.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was a great game in 2016 and still is in 2022 (although in some aspects the passage of time is noticeable), but the almost total absence of additions or improvements makes this version for PS5 somewhat questionable.

80 / 100 - Aeterna Noctis
Nov 4, 2022

Although it drags some defects and the port is not as perfect as we would like, we have enjoyed Aeterna Noctis on Nintendo Switch. In fact, it has hooked us more than the original, thanks to fantastic additions such as the Aeternal mode. If you have not played it or abandoned it because of its difficulty, now is the best time.

D.U.M.A. incorporates fun ideas when it comes to exploring and fighting, but beyond that Star Ocean: The Divine Force is an ordinary and grinding JRPG. And that's okay, because sometimes these games that are just good are just as fun as any AAA. Sometimes even more.

75 / 100 - Gotham Knights
Oct 20, 2022

Gotham Knights doesn't know what game wants to be. It has the narrative and structure of a single player game... But also lackluster RPG elements that doesn't add anything to the formula and infinite, repeatable objectives like a MMO. It's not a bad game and we actually had fun with our time with it, but it lacks... something. And it's not Batman.

80 / 100 - Scorn
Oct 14, 2022

It is likely that many do not agree with its mechanics, but its visual impact is so powerful that it is impossible not to recommend it. Scorn is so disturbing that you're going to want to look away and so overwhelming that you're going to be able to stop looking at us. It's as if a macabre mind's nightmare has become a video game.

65 / 100 - The Last Oricru
Oct 14, 2022

The Last Oricru may not be the game with the most elaborate dialogue system in the world, but it makes up for it with a unique universe, a story that catches from minute one and decisions that matter. It's a pity that the combat system doesn't accompany and stays far away from other soulslike... Although at least it fulfills its mission.

72 / 100 - Valkyrie Elysium
Sep 29, 2022

It is a pity that there are so many wasted elements, because Valkyrie Elysium has the necessary tools to reach Valhalla... But it stays halfway. Even so, if you like action RPGs and Norse mythology, you will enjoy it with its spectacular combats.

67 / 100 - Soulstice
Sep 20, 2022

A solid game with good intentions, but that falls far short of the greats of the genre. As an appetizer it's fine, but hack and slash lovers probably prefer to wait for Bayonetta 3... or back to Devil May Cry 5.

Steelrising has the necessary gears to offer a solid soulslike experience.

80 / 100 - Immortality
Sep 2, 2022

The non-linear narrative is a double-edged sword in Immortality, leaving us with brilliant moments of discovery but also points where the experience is "dismantled". Despite this, it is a truly unique game, essential for those who want to delve into the narrative possibilities of the medium.
