Having these games on current platforms is fantastic and yes, they are still masterpieces that we would recommend with our eyes closed. But a series like Metal Gear Solid deserves more than just a compilation without any substantial novelty, which seems more like an attempt to silence fans than an honest way to revitalize Snake.

83 / 100 - Ghostrunner 2
Oct 23, 2023

Ghostrunner 2 demands the speed of a speedrunner, the skill of a no-hitter, and the patience of a Buddhist monk. Its difficulty doesn't make it suitable for all palates, but if you agree with its game philosophy, here is an injection of adrenaline that you will enjoy until the end.

Insomniac dresses Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in the black suit, improving to the extreme all the mechanics of the previous titles and adding new features that work in perfect symbiosis. The result is a well-rounded adventure that swings to the top and touches the ceiling of superhero games... And a dream for any Spider-Man fan.

Despite its many problems, Lords of the Fallen has managed to conquer us by combining the soulslike of always with a mechanic as novel and interesting as the jump between worlds. If they correct their failures, we could be facing one of the great surprises of 2023 and one of the best soulslike of recent years.

If you've ever dreamed of a Fly Adventures video game, Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai probably satisfies that desire... But don't go around expecting something with the same level of quality and magic of a real Dragon Quest.

Phantom Liberty is a fantastic expansion, with a great story, memorable characters and quality supporting content, but the real reason you won't want to stop coming back to Night City is Update 2.0.

While performance issues have tarnished the experience, we've had a good time returning to the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Purple in The Turquoise Mask. It's an entertaining expansion; Not like to shoot rockets, but it's fine and leaves us with the promise that the best is yet to come.

85 / 100 - Lies of P
Sep 13, 2023

Even though at times feels too derivative, we had a blast playing Lies of P. It's so well done and all the changes are so good (although minor), that we would be lying if we didn't recommend it.

70 / 100 - Under the Waves
Sep 4, 2023

It lacks a good polish (in the form of a patch) to correct the technical problems, but if you like games that give a lot of importance to exploration and are not afraid to navigate a gigantic underwater level, Under the Waves is a hidden treasure in the depths.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central is that game that we will never want to lose sight of, either to sweat a little or to have a pleasant time when we have a visit. It's so entertaining and the song selection is so varied, it's easy to forget about the problems with the controls.

88 / 100 - Blasphemous 2
Aug 17, 2023

Blasphemous 2 surpasses its predecessor in everything, thus becoming a new jewel of Spanish development and one of the best metroidvania of recent years. It is an authentic work of art that we never tire of contemplating, listening to and, above all, playing. Praise the Miracle and praise be to The Game Kitchen.

Like the Phoenix, Final Fantasy XVI rises from the ashes to regain its throne among the best RPGs. It is a game that exudes a confidence and firmness when it comes to carrying out everything that is proposed that we had not seen in the saga for years, proving that Final Fantasy does not need to wait its turn to shine like a star.

Tears of the Kingdom brings together the power of adventure, the wisdom of freedom and the value of creativity, never forgetting what makes The Legend of Zelda so special: epic moments and the ability to thrill. They were not wrong to say that the title is a spoiler: we have shed tears of joy.

As the student who manages to overcome the master, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has learned from the successes and mistakes of its predecessor to become a sequel that is better in everything and leaves us with some of the best moments we have lived in a Star Wars game, but it is still weighed down by technical problems.

Burning Shores is a great expansion that you will love if you liked Horizon Forbidden West and that serves as a preview of what they are capable of doing in Guerrila Games when they work exclusively for PS5. After this, we are even more eager to know what the future holds for Aloy.

Curse of the Sea Rats contains all the key elements to be a good metroidvania and, in addition, thanks to its enormous personality and multiplayer mode it manages to stand out within the genre. Because metroidvanias there are many... But there is only one ratoidvania.

Even when you have the game with the best gunplay on the market, it does not always hit the target: Eclipse is one of the weakest expansions of Destiny 2, especially when it comes to campaign. But, like the Guardians, Bungie has a chance here to stand up and prove that they are capable of getting it right again. Like so many other times.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is much more than "Team Ninja's Sekiro": the parry is a core mechanic, yes, but so are its ingenious skill system and the way it invites us to explore. If we combine these ideas with the impeccable gameplay of the studio, the result is an action game and a great first step to a new IP.

A fantastic platform game with Nintendo's seal of quality that is now even more complete and entertaining thanks to the incorporation of minigames and epilogue. Its launch price is a drawback, so you may prefer to wait a while before "swallowing it".
