Mario & Luigi: Conexión Fraternal (Switch) - 9.5
4 Nov 2024
Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood Connection is one of the most complete games of 2024 that you can enjoy on Nintendo Switch. Although it has an interesting variety of content beyond the story, the main thing that stands out is the quality of the content, offering entertainment in abundance. Those who love the RPG genre will feel how the game hooks them, inviting them to continue constantly to reach the highest possible levels. If you are looking for an entertaining story, with minigames, challenges, and charismatic characters, this is the perfect game that will fulfill everything I mention. Nintendo once again hits it off through a wonderful installment of the Mario franchise.
Red Dead Redemption (PC) - 9
31 Oct 2024
Red Dead Redemption on PC is a testament to the power of timeless design. This version not only preserves the magic of the original, but improves on it in significant ways. The fluidity of the unlocked framerate, the sharpness of 4K resolution, and the improvements to draw distance make this, without a doubt, the best way to experience this modern classic.
Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - 9
30 Oct 2024
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 (PS5) - 8
28 Oct 2024
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.
Los Pitufos: Dreams (PS5) - 8.4
23 Oct 2024
With a new installment of the Smurfs, The Smurfs: Dreams becomes the best game in the franchise. A game to enjoy alone or with a friend and be part of this blue and lively world.
Sonic X Shadow Generations (PS5) - 7.7
21 Oct 2024
Overall, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a game that offers two distinct experiences. On the one hand, Shadow's campaign brings something new and exciting to the table, with never-before-seen abilities and a darker, more strategic approach. On the other hand, the remaster of Sonic Generations does its job of reviving nostalgia, albeit without too many surprises.
Just Dance 2025 (Switch) - 7.5
15 Oct 2024
Just Dance 2025 Edition is more of an update to what was already seen in Just Dance 2024 Edition than a new release. The saga has reached a great level of maturity and is struggling to adapt to new trends, although its online section still needs to be improved.
Super Mario Party Jamboree (Switch) - 8.2
15 Oct 2024
With an overwhelming amount of new content, Super Mario Party Jamboree promises to become one of the most ambitious games in the franchise. In addition, it is a title that respectfully modifies the very essence of the saga with the aim of expanding its own limits and offering gameplay experiences never before seen in the series; thus fulfilling what anyone could expect from a Super Mario Party in 2024.
Neva (PS5) - 9
14 Oct 2024
Neva is a title aimed at the whole family and not just a specific audience, with a story in which emotional ties are present at all times. If anything becomes clear as we get to know its protagonists, it is that unity is strength and that by being together, all kinds of adversities will be overcome. This game aims to be one of the most important indies of this present 2024 and if as players, you are looking for an experience that goes straight to the point, emotive and leaves aside the combat and action section that many of us are used to in other titles, Neva is the perfect choice.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO (PS5) - 8.2
7 Oct 2024
Dragon Ball: SPARKING! Zero is the video game that all Budokai Tenkaichi fans wished for. Visually its battles are stunning, and it plays at a pace that can be as frantic as a Dragon Ball battle from the anime. There's also a bunch of characters and game modes that will keep it alive for quite some time, especially the Custom Battle mode. Sadly, the Story Mode is quite lacking. It has some good ideas but they are executed pretty badly. There's clearly some unfulfilled potential there.
Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC) - 10
7 Oct 2024
Metaphor: ReFantazio draws a lot of inspiration from Persona 5, and it translates to many good things. It manages to evolve the JRPG genre both artistically and gameplay-wise. Metaphor: ReFantazio really is a turning point for japanese RPGs, a video game that hooks you to its universe from the very first minute thanks to an exhilarating plot and incredibly charming characters.
Undisputed (PS5) - 7
7 Oct 2024
For those looking for a realistic and challenging boxing experience, Undisputed already offers a solid foundation. With continued updates and a growing roster of boxers, this title has everything it needs to become a modern classic of boxing sports video games, but it still has some room for improvement.
Until Dawn Remake (PS5) - 8
5 Oct 2024
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.
Silent Hill 2 Remake (PS5) - 9
4 Oct 2024
The remake of Silent Hill 2 honors the great audiovisual work that Konami released in 2001, maintaining a high level and improving many of its most distinctive features. Silent Hill 2 was an essential title more than 20 years ago, and it remains so today with this magnificent remake.
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra (PC) - 6.5
30 Sep 2024
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is a game that, despite having the ingredients to be a worthy homage to classic brawlers, fails in almost every important aspect.
Throne and Liberty (PC) - 8.8
27 Sep 2024
Throne and Liberty is a full-fledged next-gen RPG thanks to both his impactful visual style as well as an incredibly polished gameplay. The game sets whole new standards for the genre, hence looking like a promising future is ahead. Now it is time to see if Throne and Liberty can truly shine on its own.
God of War: Ragnarök (PC) - 9.5
25 Sep 2024
God of War: Ragnarök is, for many, one of the best games available on PS5 and now comes to PC in exquisite quality. It's an almost perfect port, except for some minor details that will surely be corrected with successive patches. If you haven't tried it and you have a half-decent PC, do it as soon as possible, you'll love it and you'll also enjoy the best version available.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Switch) - 8.7
25 Sep 2024
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has the potential to become a whole new series on its own thanks to the many possibilities that Zelda introduces as the main character, both narratively and gameplay-wise. It may not be the most ambitious entry in the franchise, and it definitely has some flaws, but even so there's a very big chance for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom to become a fan favorite game.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (PC) - 7.6
23 Sep 2024
"Quotation forthcoming"
Ara: History Untold (PC) - 7.7
23 Sep 2024
ARA: History Untold has all the ingredients to become a benchmark in the genre. Its innovative mechanics, such as simultaneous turns, the non-linear technology tree and the prestige system, give it a fresh air that distinguishes it from other strategy games.
The Plucky Squire (PC) - 8.2
22 Sep 2024
The Plucky Squire is a game that deserves to be played by those who enjoy innovation and imagination in video games, despite its weaknesses. It is a reminder of why indie games are so important to the industry, as they bring freshness and new ideas to an ever-evolving medium.
EA Sports FC 25 (PS5) - 8.1
20 Sep 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-ea-sports-fc-25-un-golazo-o-fuera-de-juego/
EA Sports FC 25 offers a very complete experience that comes from presenting an overwhelming amount of content, accompanied by several improvements in different modes, although I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. Essentially, it is a very good game that is limited by a recurring problem: the weight of microtransactions in Ultimate Team.
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - Reforged (PC) - 8.5
19 Sep 2024
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - Reforged proves that good games are timeless. This version strikes the difficult balance between respecting the source material and adapting it to modern times. If you are a fan of the series, you will find that nostalgic feeling intact. And if it is your first time with George and Nico, prepare for an adventure that will hook you from start to finish.
Frostpunk 2 (PC) - 8.8
17 Sep 2024
This new installment is full of promise and expectations, seeking not only to improve the original formula, but to completely reinvent it.
3 Minutes To Midnight (PC) - 8.7
16 Sep 2024
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.
Funko Fusion (PC) - 6.5
14 Sep 2024
Funko Fusion is like that limited edition Funko Pop figure you buy with all your hopes up: full of potential, but not without its flaws. It has all the ingredients to be a feast for fans: Beloved franchises, iconic characters, a fun premise, gameplay reminiscent of the best moments from LEGO games...
Enotria: The Last Song (PC) - 7
14 Sep 2024
Enotria: The Last Song is a work that stands out for its visual beauty and thematic originality, but it fails to reach the level of execution necessary in its gameplay. The mask system, although innovative, is not well balanced, and combat, an essential pillar in any Souls-like, is hampered by imprecise controls and mechanics that limit the player's freedom. The narrative, although intriguing, fails to develop in a coherent way, leaving the player with more questions than answers.
Satisfactory (PC) - 9
11 Sep 2024
Satisfactory 1.0 is the culmination of years of development, community feedback, and constant polishing. The result is a deep, addictive game that is, yes, tremendously satisfying (and pardon the pun, but there's really no better way to describe it). If you're into construction, optimization, or simply creating enormous things, don't hesitate: Satisfactory is your game. It's the kind of experience that completely absorbs you, challenges you intellectually, and rewards you with the satisfaction of seeing your creations come to life.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP (PS5) - 7.7
10 Sep 2024
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is the perfect example of how a remaster should be done. It respects the source material, significantly improves the technical aspects, and adds content that fans will appreciate. It's a game that understands its identity and fully embraces it, offering an experience that is both nostalgic and fresh.
MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection (PS4) - 7.9
09 Sep 2024
MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is one of the great surprises for all those veterans of the arcades during the 90s and early 2000s. Despite everything, it can be just as enjoyable for those people who, like me, didn't have the chance to live in that era. However, I think some new modes would have been perfect, but the online mode will give it more life in the competitive aspect.
NBA 2K25 (PS5) - 7.8
05 Sep 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-nba-2k25-mas-baloncesto-mas-rpg-y-mejor/
NBA 2K25 offers a very complete experience that comes from presenting an overwhelming amount of content that is fused with truly advanced RPG elements for a basketball simulator. Essentially, it is a very good video game that is limited by a recurring problem: the weight of microtransactions.
Astro Bot (PS5) - 9.3
05 Sep 2024
Astro has been a well known representative of the PlayStation brand for quite a few years now. Nevertheless, Astro Bot is the confirmation of the little guy as the go-to platforming experience within PlayStation, even on par with legends such a Super Mario. Astro Bot is a wonderful video game that will keep you engaged from beginning to end, and with a grin from ear to ear.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5) - 9.3
04 Sep 2024
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is the perfect conception of what a sequel should be, a frenetic title with third-person action that never lets up and with additions based on very fun and entertaining game modes that give the title great replayability.
Visions of Mana (PS5) - 8
27 Aug 2024
The 15-year wait for the saga has been good for this brand new installment, as it has a depth of gameplay worthy of the best RPGs of the moment. Its great customization of each character's play style is very addictive and its artistic style and setting are beautiful, but it is also weighed down by a story with good ideas but improvable execution and an exploration that does not stand out.
Star Wars Outlaws (PC) - 8.2
26 Aug 2024
Star Wars Outlaws is another Star Wars story, a different story that delves into the darkest part of the galaxy and more than fulfills its role in entertaining and telling a story. If you are a fan of the saga, you are in luck because you are going to find the most immersive title of the franchise in every sense.
Concord (PC) - 7.8
23 Aug 2024
Concord is shaping up to be an exciting and potentially revolutionary offering in the first-person shooter genre. With its impressive graphical quality, deep gameplay mechanics, and fresh approach to narrative, the game has a lot to offer fans of the genre. However, the price could be a hurdle, especially in a market where many successful games adopt free-to-play or more accessible monetization models. However, if you're serious about picking it up, you should know that all post-launch content in the form of maps, game modes, and characters will be free to play.
Black Myth: Wukong (PC) - 9.3
16 Aug 2024
Black Myth: Wukong is everything we hoped for and more a game that, by its own merits, is set to crown itself as one of the best of the year, without a doubt. With exquisite gameplay and a cinematic narrative development, it puts the finishing touch on a well-rounded game if you're into challenges. The difficulty curve, in my opinion, is absolutely unbalanced, becoming increasingly harder as you progress through the chapters, with some utterly broken bosses that will drive you crazy. However, the feeling you get after overcoming them is something entirely different. Overall, this is an absolutely unmissable title if you're a fan of Souls-like games. Here, you’ll find hours of entertainment and a good hundred final bosses for your delight, enjoyment, and frustration the Yin and Yang perfectly represented in a video game.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken (PS5) - 7
5 Aug 2024
Bleak Faith: Forsaken is an ambitious and bold offering within a market saturated with Dark Souls-like games. It stands out for its suffocating atmosphere, enigmatic world, and intricate combat system, providing an experience that will attract followers of the genre. However, it is not without imperfections. Directional issues, some mechanics that could be improved, and certain technical aspects may cause frustration for less experienced players in the genre. Despite these problems, it is impossible not to appreciate the achievements of Archangel Studios with such a small team. They have developed a captivating universe...
Eden Genesis (PC) - 8
5 Aug 2024
Eden Genesis is positioned as another great game from the Spanish studio, with an impressive setting, spectacular soundtrack, challenging and sometimes reminiscent of its previous games. However, I think that if the studio did something "more different" it would be able to surprise us just like they did with Eden Genesis.
Tomba! Special Edition (PC) - 7.8
4 Aug 2024
The idea of renewing a classic is always welcome and this is a perfect opportunity for everyone to get to know what Tomba is and has been! for many players. The game feels good, but just as good as if you put it on your old PS1 and play it again.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) - 9
17 Jul 2024
This compilation of retro games put together with a bunch of challenges in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is a must-play treasure for all players. The compilation is made so that it doesn't only appeal to veteran players but also newcomers in a way that they will probably fall in love with everything the game has to offer. Especially regarding what veteran gamers may expect in this game collection, visually Nintendo has done a splendid job of keeping the classic appeal intact. Whether you play by yourself or aim to challenge other players, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is top of its class.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - 9
25 Jun 2024
As a game in itself, it is a timeless gem that has not aged at all thanks to the freshness provided by the playability of this saga, its originality and its impeccable level design. And as a remaster, although it doesn't look as good as Luigi's Mansion 3, the visual changes and improvements fit it like a glove and doesn't clash at all among the Nintendo Switch game catalog.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (PC) - 10
12 Jun 2024
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is everything users want and desire. A perfectly orchestrated masterpiece by FromSoftware that leaves me with the strange feeling of wondering, is this really a DLC? The added content and the new map have left me awestruck in every sense, as well as the game's duration, which will vary for each player. But I wouldn't be exaggerating if I told you that thirty hours can easily go by if you go all out. In short, although I think it's all clear, SOET is everything we could expect from a DLC and much more. The quantity and originality of the added content are insane, so the final question would be, can a DLC be the GOTY? I think it can.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (PS5) - 8.5
12 Jun 2024
Atlus has managed to make a new version that surpasses the original work in everything (again, because they always do this well with their games). Not only with the obvious improvements at a playable and visual level, but because the new content turns Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance into a product that borders on the label of "new game" and not "new version." One of the best JRPGs of the year and, possibly, the best SMT of the series.
F1 24 (PS5) - 8
28 May 2024
F1 24 is a great game for F1 lovers, adding new improvements to driving and the different game modes. Although it doesn't improve anything graphically, the game is still a real marvel in case your dream is to become a true professional F1 driver.
The Rogue Prince of Persia (PC) - 8.3
27 May 2024
Evil Empire has come up with an absolute banger of a roguelite that is not afraid to show where its inspirations lie, so much so that The Rogue Prince of Persia could be interpreted as some sort of Dead Cells 2 set in The Prince of Persia universe. If this is what the devs are really capable of, let's hope they keep finding video games that inspire the entire team.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch) - 8
21 May 2024
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a great remake when it comes to the visual aspects, but not so much regarding the gameplay elements. Since the original gameplay has mostly been left untouched, the battle system doesn't shine as much as it used to, and it feels like it is lacking in dynamism. Nevertheless, the original game wasn't a hit because of the fights; it was its story that made it special, and an artistic design that still looks great 20 years later. And last but not least, it must not be forgotten that it features some of the most charismatic characters ever seen in the Mario-verse.
Hellblade 2 (PC) - 8.2
21 May 2024
Hellblade II attempts to improve one of the most incredibly creative projects that landed on the video games industry a few years back, through which Ninja Theory shows the opposite sides of itself. On one hand, Hellblade II represents the peak technical performance of this generation of consoles. On the other hand, it doesn't really provide anything beyond what the first game offered. Although this sequel is really an amazing game, it feels like the studio could have pushed for something more.
MotoGP 24 (PS5) - 7.7
2 May 2024
MotoGP 24 takes you on a crazy journey full of speed and adrenaline. In spite of the game not pushing many new elements, every turn is as exciting as the next one. It also features multiple game modes that are good fun and that'll help you in learning how to properly play the game. If you are a real life fan of MotoGP looking for a realistic experience, then MotoGP 24 will not let you down.
SAND LAND (PS5) - 7.7
24 Abr 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-de-sand-land-una-agridulce-despedida-a-toriyama/
SAND LAND is definitely a good open world game, but not a game that exactly lives up to Akira Toriyama's legacy. It is unfortunate that SAND LAND's release and Toriyama's death ended up so close to each other, but it makes you feel like they could have done more with a title that finds its strengths in how close it follows the manga and how nice the fights on vehicles feel.
Stellar Blade (PS5) - 8.7
24 Abr 2024
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.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5) - 8
22 Abr 2024
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is just what we could expect from the creators of Suikoden. It is a classic JRPG with some room for improvement but it lays the first stone of a new saga that could give us many joys in the future.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU (PS5) - 7.5
22 Abr 2024
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a discreet, attractive metroidvania and, above all, accessible to the vast majority of players, both experienced and new. A proposal that will be attractive to lovers of the genre. However, those looking for a title at the level of the best games of this title currently have a wide range of alternatives on the market that they will surely enjoy more.
TopSpin 2K25 (PS5) - 8.5
22 Abr 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-topspin-2k25-el-mejor-juego-de-tenis-del-momento/
TopSpin 2K25 is definitely the best tennis game you'll find nowadays. The game's main appeal is its MyCareer mode, with tons of game modes that allow your character to grow over time and that will keep TopSpin 2K25 alive for quite some time. The game is properly designed and while it will help you to get into its gameplay rather easily, it will become more challenging the more you advance. In the end, TopSpin 2K25 even achieves something rather difficultd for tennis video games: having unpredictable exchanges.
South Park: Snow Day! (PC) - 6.5
25 mar 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-south-park-snow-day-un-regreso-demasiado-helado/
South Park: Snow Day! seemed to me like a rather vague attempt to capitalize on the franchise that gave us such good results with previous titles. A game that falls short in many aspects and where the low budget is noticeable. It's fun when you play it with friends, but it's not a game that will go down in history. Considering the franchise it is, something much more ambitious could have been done.
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - 8
21 mar 2024
In order to talk about Princess Peach: Showtime! you first need to understand that it is a game made for all audiences, with all the good and the bad that implies. It may not be the kind of game you were expecting for this one, but it'll help you in taking care of your inner child, which more often than not is actually pretty neccesary.
Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - 8
21 mar 2024
Rise of the Ronin is not a perfect game and has its fair share of flaws, but it still is really impressive. Its landscapes and many scenarios paint the amazing picture of the Edo era in Japan masterfully, and you can add on top of that a gameplay that is incredibly solid mostly thanks to its flawless battle mechanics. Overall, Rise of the Ronin is a game that will satisfy an incredibly wide range of audiences.
Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - 9.2
20 mar 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-de-dragons-dogma-2-la-maestria-medieval-de-capcom/
Dragon's Dogma 2 follows pretty closely many aspects from previous entries in the franchise, both the good and the bad. Gameplay-wise, Dragon's Dogma 2 definitely includes elements that feel a little bit outdated, and that could've been tweaked one way or another in order to further improve the overall experience. Still, this is an excellent RPG, and every fan of the genre is certainly in for quite a treat.
Outcast - A New Beginning (PC) - 8.8
14 mar 2024
Outcast - A New Beginning is, in my opinion, one of the best surprises of the year so far. A title that provides us with hours and hours of entertainment with an original exploration base and a fully alive and complete open world in almost every sense. If we overlook the fact of generic characters and little enemy variety, we are facing a highly recommended game with a story and touches of humor that are among the best of the year.
Contra: Operation Galuga (PS5) - 8
11 mar 2024
https://areajugones.sport.es/videojuegos/analisis-contra-operation-galuga-mucho-mas-que-un-remake/
Although it may grate on the most nostalgic players, the truth is that Contra: Operation Galuga is a good reinterpretation of the original classic with enough new features to keep things interesting. The story mode does its job, although it slows down the frantic pace of the game, while the extra modes are a nice addition to get more out of it and satisfy the more demanding players. Meanwhile, for those who are looking for a lesser challenge, they can always switch to an easier game mode. Contra: Operation Galuga delivers on its adaptation, so let's hope that they don't stop here and continue with new reinterpretations of one of the most iconic sagas in the world of video games.
The Outlast Trials (PS5) - 8.5
4 mar 2024
Red Barrels expands the Outlast universe with a new entry that introduces a whole new set of dangerous experiments by the Murkoff Corporation, a series of threats that the players will have to deal with in order to thwart a worldwide mind control scheme. The Outlast Trials has the potential to be the best horror game we get in 2024, a experience that you'll be able to enjoy either on your own or alongside other players.
