Assassin's Creed Shadows es la culminación de la fórmula de mundo abierto de Ubisoft. Un Japón bellísimo en el que da gusto perderse a los mandos de dos personajes titulares radicalmente diferentes. Shadows tiene carencias, pero se difuminan en un mundo en el que podrás sumergirte durante cientos de horas

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a breathtaking evolution of the open-world formula, blending masterful storytelling, refined stealth mechanics, and stunning visuals. With a gripping dual-protagonist narrative and meticulously crafted historical setting, Ubisoft delivers one of the most immersive Assassin’s Creed experiences to date.

After the refreshingly smaller and more focused Assassin’s Creed Mirage, I’m hoping fans of the franchise are as ready as I was to get back into an unnecessarily big, action-packed RPG (is this technically a JRPG??) entry, because Shadows is easily the best so far. The cost of a slightly erratic throughline to the fiction is a small price to pay for a world that’s so rich, explorable, dripping in history and a reverence for the subject matter, and one that offers two distinct gameplay experiences within the AC paradigm. It does need to be said that this kitchen-sink approach is exactly the kind of unsustainable game design that’s destroying AAA space from the inside, as evidenced by this game’s tumultuous development and release cycle, so hopefully the next game is another smaller-scoped project. But this one’s come out pretty damned good in the end.

MLB The Show remains one of the best sports series around. The new upgrade system and the amateur portion of your player’s journey have reinvigorated Road To The Show, while the shift away from Sets and Seasons has righted Diamond Dynasty’s biggest wrong. While it’s a bit of a bummer that the Storylines feature isn’t living up to its full potential, it remains a worthwhile and important inclusion that has reach beyond the game of baseball. All the small touches, such as updated infielder reactions and new quick time events like the swim move, have the on-field action in a great place, too. It’s not always easy for an annual franchise to justify the move to a new entry, but in the case of MLB The Show 25, it does more than enough to make me glad it has arrived.

It’s fine. A short description of a game set 30 plus years after its predecessor is really how I’m feeling. It’s not bad but it’s not … for me. In my opinion Beyond the Ice Palace II keeps its retro hardness alive in this installment (which I’m not knocking) but in 2025 I want smoothness to my platformers. This one really takes me back to SNES days where a game was hard because it meant you had to put the time in to master it and I’m just not into that in this day and age which I realize isn’t necessarily the opinion of all gamers. I know some metroidvania fans who would love this one so if that’s you, at least give Beyond the Ice Palace II a double take.

MLB The Show 25 è un’edizione incredibile e ben rifinita della celebre serie, con miglioramenti che ne accrescono la profondità e l’accessibilità. Le nuove animazioni, le modalità rinnovate (in particolar modo RTTS e Diamond Dynasty), un gameplay ancora più solido e stratificato, molto divertente e che riesce a catturare perfettamente l'essenza della MLB, e il focus sulla storia del baseball lo rendono - ad oggi - il miglior gioco di baseball disponibile sul mercato.

El juego original era una epopeya épica que, si bien tenía sus más y sus menos, lograba situarse como un gran JRPG. Ahora, esta Definitive Edition llega para ofrecer la mejor versión de Xenoblade Chronicles X, con añadidos y mejoras que le sientan muy bien y afianzan sus grandezas.

Xenoblade Chronicles X alcanza su plenitud con su Definitive Edition. Pese a que su narrativa esté algo desfasada, las mejoras gráficas, de usabilidad y los añadidos en su historia y opciones lo convierten en un JRPG perfecto para Switch y muy recomendable. Su mayor baza es ser muy divertido, y ser capaz de estar siempre haciendo crecer sus sistemas para ofrecerte siempre algo nuevo. Impagable el primer momento en tu skell…

Assassin's Creed Shadow Assassin’s Creed Shadows è un titolo maestoso, che trasuda passione per il Giappone feudale e per l’epica degli assassini. L’ambientazione è mozzafiato, i due protagonisti ben costruiti, il gameplay solido e sfaccettato. Ma l’ambizione smisurata finisce per giocare contro il progetto. La ripetitività, l’IA datata, la gestione dei contenuti ridondante e un finale poco incisivo ne limitano la potenza narrativa e ludica. È, paradossalmente, esattamente il gioco che ci aspettavamo. Un Assassin’s Creed in tutto e per tutto. Ed è proprio questo a rappresentare la sua virtù più grande… e la sua più evidente maledizione. PRO Ambientazione curatissima e storicamente coerente | Due protagonisti con stili di gioco complementari | Sistema di combattimento migliorato e variegato | Tecnicamente solido su PS5 | Costruzione del rifugio e stagioni ben integrate CONTRO A nemica ancora troppo arretrata Loop di missioni e attività eccessivamente ripetitivo | Controlli legnosi e poco precisi nel parkour | Ritmo narrativo altalenante, finale debole | Mondo di gioco bellissimo ma a tratti vuoto

Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute brings the long-lost SEGA Saturn mech classic to modern audiences with a stellar remaster. Featuring a newly translated script, quality-of-life upgrades, and refined gameplay, this port makes one of the most technically impressive 2D action games of the 32-bit era more accessible than ever. While minor balance tweaks improve the experience, the game's demanding difficulty and occasional ammo shortages may still challenge newcomers. Nonetheless, this is the definitive way to play a once-forgotten masterpiece.

Gust tente de nouvelles choses avec Atelier Yumia et, dans la majorité des cas, cette réorientation fonctionne et convient parfaitement. Son histoire plus mature, sa nouvelle héroïne, et même cette révision de l’alchimie avec ce monde organique à visiter, c’est un grand oui. Certes, on perd parfois cette complexité qui générait une réelle satisfaction quand on sortait LE craft ultime tant visé mais cela permet une progression plus fluide, plus régulière et moins « exigeante » en termes de farming. Dommage que la partie combat explose tellement qu’elle en devient parfois brouillonne et souvent trop simple en dehors des boss. Atelier Yumia est surement l’un des Ateliers qui nous accroche le plus sur la durée mais je reste persuadé que Gust peut encore aller plus loin en gommant quelques aspérités ci et là.

Avec Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft prouve une fois de plus que ses studios ont un vrai talent pour créer des univers et des mondes à part entière. Pour ceux qui aiment les open-world et le Japon féodal, nul doute que cet épisode offrira le dépaysement attendu. Côté gameplay, la complémentarité et les styles de jeu de Naoe et Yasuke sont vraiment rafraîchissants et on sent que des efforts ont été fournis, à différents niveaux, pour essayer de faire évoluer la formule. Malgré tout, si quelques éléments changent, le cœur même de la saga est toujours aussi présent dans la manière dont on aborde les contenus du jeu, sources de défauts qu'on lui connaît depuis longtemps : la redondance des activités, l’IA qui aboutit à des combats vite machinaux et une histoire un peu plate, même si elle a ses moments épiques. En définitive, Assassin’s Creed Shadows est un épisode efficace, grand public et divertissant, mais le manque de finition et les soucis récurrents de la série font que cet opus se heurte à un plafond de verre qui l’empêche de côtoyer les plus hauts sommets.

While its plot and performances sometimes had our eyes glazing over, there's still no doubt that Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is an impressively vast adventure which has clearly been designed with the player's comfort in mind. With swift exploration, an engaging combat system and a wealth of side quests, things are already compelling from early on, and that's even before the mechs turn up and kick things up another level.
