Combining remade videogames, interviews, and original documents, this offering is a masterclass in how to incorporate an audience into a narrative.

Admitámoslo: nos encanta vivir grandes historias y sentirnos parte de ellas. Aunque no es lo principal en un videojuego, una buena trama siempre atrapará al jugador durante muchas horas de juego. Y este Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case logra dicho propósito, proponiéndonos una trama apasionante y bien escrita, con multitud de giros muy bien planteados y nada tramposos, un ritmo envidiable, unos diálogos brillantes y unos personajes que desbordan carisma.

Sea of Stars es una maravillosa conjunción astral entre lo clásico y lo moderno. Estamos ante un JRPG que debe ser jugado por todo fan del género, un indie que se culmina como uno de los mejores de 2023 y al que solo le falta haber sido un poco más valiente con su narrativa para alcanzar la perfección.

A welcome homage to JRPG classic Chrono Trigger and one of the best-looking 2D games of recent years, even if it’s not really doing anything new.

While a multitude of titles have paid homage to SNES-era role-playing times, Sea of Stars is one of the few efforts that truly understands what makes the source material so beloved. Charmingly wholesome and aesthetically adept, Sabotage Studio’s follow-up to The Messenger will keep you beguiled through its blissful 30- (or so) hour campaign.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central è un buon rhythm game, che non rivoluziona il genere, ma che riesce a variare la formula di base abbastanza da non annoiare dopo poco. La presenza di molte canzoni di vario tipo e di modalità un po’ particolari – come Streamigo e la battle royale online – rende il pacchetto di gioco più interessante, al netto di qualche difetto legato all’imprecisione di alcuni comandi e a una lettura non sempre ottimizzata del funzionamento delle meccaniche. Il gioco dà comunque il meglio di sé vissuto con gli amici, soprattutto in locale: le risate saranno assicurate.

Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

C'est toujours un plaisir de se plonger dans une interprétation de l'univers d'Agatha Christie, même si les intentions louables souffrent d'une technique perfectible.

Goodbye Volcano High executes solidly on its unique concept, delivering well-etched characters, engaging rhythm challenges, and a collection of memorable original tunes. That said, those looking for juicy high school intrigue will be disappointed, as the game is relentlessly nice, to the point it often lacks drama. We may not know exactly what finished off the dinosaurs, but Goodbye Volcano High comes close to killing itself with kindness.

Goodbye Volcano High è una storia di affermazione personale, amicizia e amore e di come tutte queste cose, già grandi se prese singolarmente, diventino dei colossi quando si mischiano assieme. Nonostante la premessa iniziale dell’ambientazione possa sembrare bizzarra, la qualità della scrittura e delle interpretazioni dei doppiatori (Lachlan Watson nel ruolo di Fang su tutti) annullano qualsiasi distanza tra il giocatore e i personaggi fin dalle primissime battute. Aiutata da meccaniche di gioco molto intelligenti, la storia progredisce con forza affermando l’identità dei suoi protagonisti pur permettendo al giocatore di metterci il proprio zampino, mentre la colonna sonora (che è finita dritta dritta tra i miei preferiti in loop) è ben più di un accompagnamento: è una co-protagonista, che racchiude in sé ansie, paure e sogni di questa sgangherata combriccola di amici, alle prese nientemeno che con l’apocalisse.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is an awesome sequel that keeps the good times rolling for one of the best co-op puzzle-platformer series out there. This set of puzzles are some of the strongest they’ve ever been, and boss fights are creative and original – even if those highlights are occasionally cut short with snooze-inducing combat sections and a predictable story. It may not do much to innovate beyond what we’ve done four times before, but Trine 5 plays to its strengths extremely well and makes some important tweaks here and there that definitely make it worthy of a playthrough or two.

Trine 5 hasn’t changed all that much from its predecessors, which is more of a good thing than it is bad. At its heart, this is still a gorgeous, remarkably charming, and challenging puzzle platformer that features some of the best environment design in the business. On the other hand, combat still represents a notable low point of the experience despite efforts to tweak it, but this isn’t enough of a drawback that it ruins the overall game. It goes without saying that if you liked any of the previous Trine games, you’ll love what Trine 5 brings to the table—we’d argue that this offers the most polished and honed version of the series’ traditional gameplay. Trine 5 is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a chill puzzle game of reasonable length, it’s got a lot of heart and is definitely worth your time.
