Assassin’s Creed Shadows puede ser un título clave para el momento que está pasando Ubisoft, y por eso se ha preocupado de hacer un juego muy pulido y llamativo. No hay duda de que es el título más hermoso de la saga y también el más divertido de jugar, porque no vas a poder dejar de asombrarte con cada rincón de cada región de su mapa; su sigilo, además, está tan mejorado que puede competir perfectamente con los mejores del género. Sin embargo, no es una revolución, sino más bien una evolución de la fórmula, notándose en un diseño, combate y estructura que ya son excesivamente familiares. Pero aunque tiene mucha luz, también tiene sombras, y para mí la más clara es una historia que no siempre es igual de interesante, además de que parece poco interesado en ampliar el lore de Assassin’s, siendo en este sentido de los menos relevante de la saga. Con todo, logra cautivarte por sus puntos fuertes, a los que se le une una sensibilidad especial a la hora de reflejar la cultura nipona que nunca había visto en esta franquicia.

Assassin's Creed Shadows è un open world gigantesco e sontuoso, straboccante di attività, missioni, collezionabili, eventi capaci di intrattenere il giocatore per decine e decine di ore di gioco. Il Giappone feudale è, tra l'altro, messo in scena con dovizia di particolari e con un'accuratezza storica che trasuda una dedizione straordinaria e un amore sconfinato nei confronti di quell'immaginario. E a tutto questo si aggiungono i due protagonisti che riescono pure ad essere ben caratterizzati sul fronte del gameplay. Ma quando si mette così tanta roba sul piatto è facile esagerare rischiando di far straripare la portata e questo è ciò che succede in termini di ripetitività e di bilanciamento della difficoltà e della progressione. Con in più l'aggravante di dinamiche e meccaniche rimaste troppo ancorate al passato. Shadows è insomma il perfetto rappresentante della saga di Assassin's Creed che i fan vogliono giocare. E questo è contemporaneamente il suo maggiore aspetto positivo e la sua più grande maledizione.

While Assassin's Creed Shadows is unlikely to win over those who struggled to push through Odyssey or Valhalla, this is still one of the strongest overall entries in the series — and arguably the best of the open world RPG bunch. The storytelling is largely fantastic, the main characters are deeply likeable, and the open world itself is a thing of beauty.

Another solid entry for the series, Assassin's Creed Shadows offers a wonderfully rendered natural world, though it's not as unique as it once could have been. The typical mix of stealth and action gameplay is still enjoyable and is now split between two protagonists, though switching between them can be cumbersome. Fans of the franchise should be satisfied, if not exactly impressed.

Enrichi de contenus pertinents sur Switch, le remaster de Xenoblade Chronicles X respecte la ligne directrice souhaitée par le créateur de la série depuis ses débuts. Il vise le point d’équilibre entre le jeu de rôle japonais et occidental en proposant un monde vertigineux dans sa démesure et son gigantisme disproportionnés, comme une ode permanente à la découverte. Cette immensité grisante fait bien plus que servir la narration du jeu. Elle s’accorde avec la fluidité parfaite qui relie les phases d’action et d’exploration pour offrir une expérience sur-mesure agrémentée d’un épilogue indispensable si l’on veut connaître le point final du scénario.

There’s a possibility that Tape 2 will swing much harder than 1, but it’s hard to imagine a satisfying continuation based on the established story so far. A languid character drama without characters, Don’t Nod can’t articulate or realise a take on its new world and systems. Despite moving its release date to avoid an uncomfortable collision with the latest Life is Strange, both Bloom & Rage and Double Exposure have ended up occupying the same space. Fumbling efforts to return to a time that perhaps never existed by capitulating to inelegant nostalgia and the numbing comfort of the known. Two games stuck on the wrong side of the camera lens.

Si en Wii U ya era un juego especial, ahora, gracias a todos los cambios, novedades y -sobre todo- al epílogo, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition también es uno de los mejores JRPG de Nintendo Switch. Una aventura tan colosal como un robot gigante y tan inolvidable como un planeta alienígena del que no quieres marcharte.

Pur non raggiungendo le vette delle precedenti creazioni di Davey Wreden, Wanderstop offre una pausa contemplativa dal frenetico panorama videoludico attuale e si rivela un'esperienza contrastante, come d’altronde era normale attendersi dalla nuova fatica dell’autore di The Stanley Parable. La meccanica di preparazione del tè, inserita in un contesto narrativo che esplora tematiche come la voglia di rinascita e la crisi d'identità, funziona per buona parte del gioco, anche se tende a perdere slancio nelle fasi finali. Il gioco brilla comunque per una scrittura intelligente e personaggi ben caratterizzati (eccetto, forse, la protagonista), supportati da un'estetica accattivante e da una bellissima colonna sonora. Ne esce un "cozy game" di nicchia che dividerà non poco, tra chi lo considererà troppo lento e ripetitivo e chi, invece, lo troverà piacevolmente diverso e rilassante.

Atelier Yumia: La alquimista de los recuerdos y la tierra imaginada es una de las entregas más ambiciosas y completas de esta longeva franquicia. Su renovado sistema de combate, la libertad de exploración y la incorporación de nuevas mecánicas como la construcción de bases le otorgan un aire fresco a la saga. Aunque algunos aspectos, como la dificultad inicial y la complejidad del sistema de alquimia, podrían haberse pulido más, el resultado final es un JRPG muy solvente que promete largas horas de exploración, combates y progresión. Y, por primera vez, en castellano.

A couple of microtransaction-fueled missteps aside, WWE 2K25 is really the best wrestling game since… WWE 2K24, which was also pretty great. It looks fantastic, still feels good, and there’s a lot of it, including small but welcome updates like intergender matches or bigger updates like the new MyRise and Showcase modes. It’s an upscale wrestling buffet, if you will: It’s pretty scrumptious, there's a wide selection of dishes on the table, and you could spend an awful lot of time in the squared circle if you’re not careful. Speaking of, I need to get back to it. I have some more Showcase things to unlock, Universe is calling my name, and… well, you get the idea.

I feel like I’m repeating myself each year at this point, but the moment-to-moment gameplay in 2K25 is the best the series has ever seen. A packed roster of gorgeously animated wrestlers can be used across a suite of varied and enjoyable match types and modes that give new and returning players a range of options. The changes made to returning modes like Showcase and MyGM mostly improve the package, and the existing systems continue to shine. However, despite The Island being an addition to the product that can (and should) be ignored, it’s an invasive shift towards monetisation that this series has largely managed to avoid up until now, and it’s a move that fans of the series should keep a wary eye on.

In most respects, Atelier Yumia is an impressively ambitious and strong new entry for the long-running series, blazing a trail to parts unknown much like its titular protagonist. Things like the darker story, action-heavy combat, and increased focus on exploration gameplay all work well in its favor. The only major complaint is that this was clearly designed with much stronger hardware than the Switch in mind, and while its performance here is just about acceptable, it’s very far from ideal. At any rate, we’d give this one a recommendation not only to long-time Atelier veterans, but also to fans of other vast JRPG adventures such as the Xenoblade series. Atelier Yumia is a bold step forward for this franchise, and it stands as a strong indication that the Atelier series has a lot of life left in it yet.

Le début d'une dynastie ? Cela fait plus d'un demi-siècle que la lignée samoane Bloodline règne sur la WWE : Dwayne Johnson, les familles Fatu et Anoa'i de Roman Reigns peuvent témoigner. Avec The Island et un monde ouvert intéressant, WWE 2K25 veut relancer son arbre généalogique. C'est un cap, mais avec une marge de progression importante pour ce mode ambitieux. Ce dernier ne dispose pas d'une carte malgré sa richesse, un matchmaking bancal et un besoin de VC (la monnaie virtuelle) quasi indispensable pour être compétitif en ligne. C'est un premier pas vers les sommets, déjà atteints en termes de durée de vie : les modes de jeu et possibilités de personnalisation sont toujours gargantuesques pour impressionner les nouveaux-venus. De bon augure pour l'avenir de la violente saga.
