Road 96 is a fascinating and frequently tense adventure, one full of oddball characters and offbeat diversions that made each trek I took feel unique and totally worthwhile. A few graphical and interface shortcomings and the occasional disconnect between story sequences provide some unwanted distractions, but I found them easy to ignore in favour of the many entertaining surprises I enjoyed along the way – a bit like turning up my favourite radio station in order to drown out the bickering of kids in the backseat.

Humankind não reinventa o fogo e a roda, mas traz imensa frescura, novas ideias e beleza visual a um género de nicho, com sistemas suficientemente profundos para conquistar os fãs do 4X e uma interface visual que abre a porta a novos fãs. Embora a inteligência artificial deixe um pouco a desejar e alguns sistemas precisem de ajustes, a evolução cultural permite uma flexibilidade e dinâmica interessantíssima.

Road 96 se convierte, gracias a su fina escritura y a su capacidad para hacer pensar y reflexionar, en uno de los mejores videojuegos independientes de 2021. Un excelente viaje de encuentros con tus ideales y, sobre todo, con los de los demás.

Humankind ha sido toda una sorpresa, un título de estrategia y gestión por turnos que no solo ha cumplido con las expectativas generadas, sino que, a mi juicio, las ha superado. El trabajo de Amplitud goza de un equilibrio entre profundidad y accesibilidad difícil de encontrar, una propuesta capaz de enganchar al menos ducho en este tipo de videojuegos y de satisfacer las necesidades del jugador experimentado. Un diseño que, además, llega acompañado de un gran apartado audiovisual y un trabajo de documentación ejemplar.

Boyfriend Dungeon could have been a cool combat-heavy spin on the dating sim genre, but its uncomfortable forced interactions with the villain, inconsistent dialogue options, and limiting dating structure make it a disappointment. The fun weapons deserve more to cut and destroy and we deserve more time to decide whether or not we want to jump into a romance — or dump it.

Spelunker HD Deluxe faz tudo o que uma remasterização deve fazer, ampliando a jogabilidade e o desafio do original de 1983. Mas não deixa de ser uma remasterização de Spelunker, um jogo de plataforma com mecânicas arcaicas, feito para um tipo muito específico de audiências. Existe magia algures entre as horas de sofrimento, mas há vários títulos de plataforma que proporcionam este desafio de forma mais competente.

Phasing in and out of the Breach to unlock new paths through the overworld – and vice versa – presented me with consistently stimulating environmental puzzles to solve, a process that evolved in surprising ways over the course of the campaign as hidden dimensional tears were uncovered and the manipulation of their placement was introduced. The same sense of accomplishment can’t be derived from the simplistic combat and mostly toothless boss fights, the last of which is responsible for the story stumbling to an anticlimax. Ultimately, Axiom Verge 2 is a sequel that largely delights thanks to its dual-world design, but I wish the developer could have polished it without having to file the difficulty spikes all the way down.

It walks a fine line between historical tourism, top-shelf conspiracy theory, and veiled mysticism against the backdrop of a grounded and focused story. Fresh takes on several of the series’ established loot and quest systems help to keep the things fluid and nuanced, though progression could use refinement. There’s also a bigger than usual horde of bugs and blemishes to contend with from start to finish. But while it may not be the most stylish or polished, its rugged and brutal look at the muddy business of Scandanavian expansion is as memorable and dense as an Assassin’s Creed has ever been, and it makes great use of the new consoles.

Una más que grata sorpresa. Un primer episodio con una identidad propia que da el pistoletazo de salida a Horror Tales. Historia jugosa, apartado técnico sobresalienta y una capacidad de producir terror y ansiedad en el jugador muy díficil de encontrar en el mercado.
