Hopping through the floaty gravity and feel-good physics of Grow Home is as pleasant a gaming experience as they come. Dangling hundreds of meters above the ground while I stretched to reach a crystal induces some mild anxiety, but when you've collected those crystals and unlocked B.U.D.’s full range of abilities, free falling becomes almost meditative. It’s not particularly long, or dense, or even deep, but what it does it does exceptionally well, and doesn't have to resort to filler.

Citizens of Earth есть за что хвалить: ключевые черты характера здешних персонажей, а также их умения и использование всего этого в боевой системе заслуживают громких аплодисментов, а юмор берёт даже если не качеством, то количеством - уж точно. И тем печальней от того, что заунывное развитие сюжета и чрезмерная беготня по игровому миру не дают Citizens of Earth сорвать эти самые овации.

It does a great job of creating compelling mechanics, so it’s slightly disappointing the bigger design where everything comes together to make really interesting or challenging gameplay fails to materialise. But it absolutely succeeds in creating a tranquil world of weirdness, and in a world where space stags desperately need you to reunite them with their antlers, bemoaning the lack of a challenge feels like a rather trivial complaint.

Apotheon es un título muy agradable para los sentidos. Un particular enfoque a los títulos de acción en scroll lateral que resulta toda una delicia, sobre todo para los amantes de la mitología griega. Su delicioso apartado visual no es su único sustento, ya que está acompañado por una trama interesante y un desarrollo jugable que si bien no es espectacular ni novedoso, cumple con el cometido de entretener.

Grow Home è un modo intelligente e affascinante per spendere qualche ora di fronte a un mondo tutto da esplorare. Bello, anzi bellissimo, da vedere, può contare su un design intelligente ed esperto. Peccato che tutto si concluda bruscamente quando sarebbe stato lecito aspettarsi nuove evoluzioni, sia di B.U.D. che del pianeta.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D proves that interesting game design and strong world-building never get old. Even 15 years later, it still delivers charming characters, tense resource management, and a world rife with personality. Despite some cumbersome menus and a single drag of a dungeon, Majora’s Mask is a great adventure that (repeatedly) stands the test of time.

I give Apotheon high praise for its homage to old-school side-scrolling adventures and its ability to recreate the captivating style of Ancient Greek art. Unfortunately, a ho-hum story and frustrating controls prevent me from doing the same for its moment-to-moment gameplay. No matter how pretty it is, unless it nails the feeling of movement and smooth combat, an action-platformer can’t be much more than an enjoyable diversion.

Confesso que nunca joguei a versão de Ocarina of Time 3D, mas ainda assim, penso que este é um ressuscitar muito mais relevante para a série, até porque o original surgiu num tempo em que a Nintendo 64 já estava em declínio. Apesar de ser jogável em qualquer das versões da mais recente portátil da Nintendo, a forma superlativa como o efeito 3D funciona na New 3DS, juntamente com a conveniência do c-stick nos jogos em três dimensões, tornam-no mais agradável na nova iteração.

I genuinely do think the potential for a good pirate game is in here, somewhere, but Raven’s Cry is a mess of bugs, hazards, hiccups, oversights, and progression-halting crashes. If you never set foot on land, its ship-to-ship combat might be respectable, but this adventure insists on taking you places no self-respecting pirate captain should go. Sail clear of these trouble waters – here be dragons.

Baboon! es un título más que recomendable, y no solamente porque nos encanten los juegos españoles. Sin inventar la rueda, sino más bien hacer un compendio de mecánicas clásicas fácilmente asimilables, aporta una profundidad sorprendente, un chorrón de horas de juego y una desesperación por la dificultad de algunos niveles como sus ingredientes principales. Todo ello aderezado por una vistosa estética y una genial banda sonora de encargo. 100% recomendado, más aún si atendemos a su relación calidad-precio.
