DeVuego LATAM

Desvelado feels like a surprise. The game does cost ten euros, which is certainly not a lot considering the three to four hours it will take you to complete. I doubt you'll finish it again, given the linear puzzles you'll eventually encounter. Completing the bonus levels doesn't offer the satisfaction you might crave, so completing it will be sufficient. Quality-wise, the game has virtually no loading times, runs smoothly, and there are no DualSense features or anything like that to be expected. Ultimately, the game looks atmospheric, the gameplay is excellent, and the light puzzle elements are innovative and addictive. I highly recommend Desvelado to any fan of simple puzzle-platformers.

Hidden in my Paradise has all the makings of a charming, relaxing experience on the surface, but its small levels and frustrating controls make it hard to enjoy. While the game offers some neat ideas, like decorating worlds and sharing levels with other players, it fails to execute these ideas well. For fans of hidden object games, the Hidden Through Time series is a much more appealing option, with larger, more challenging levels and more polished gameplay. If you’re looking for a relaxing treasure hunt without a lot of repetition, this is a better place to start.

When it comes to presentation, Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports does almost everything right. The game just looks great and also looks cheerful and nicely chaotic. When it comes to gameplay and especially content, it is a bit less impressive. The game modes are too sparsely developed, which means that everything comes down to the same thing. The four sports all play well and I actually don't have a single sport of which I say: No, there's nothing to it. In fact, that is not possible because the tournaments offer all four sports. The challenge mode then offers extra mini-games, but unfortunately they could not keep me glued to the TV. The old animated series could. However, I was able to entertain myself with the game for a few hours and I certainly do not want to advise against the game, although you do have to be a reasonable fan or try to appeal to a young audience who wants to buy this game. Only then will this game undoubtedly be worth buying.

On average it will take you about six to seven hours to complete the story of Unusual Findings and this figure depends entirely on how quickly you solve the puzzles. But this is a nice length without the game becoming too repetitive. The story is light and entertaining and the game is full of jokes and references. For example, the game is full of pixel versions of posters of well-known franchises and the makers are smart about not naming these well-known films and series. The pixel art is of high quality and the soundtrack and voice acting are very well done. It is therefore a shame that the game has opted for a completely open world and the player can go wherever he wants. This adds a lot of unnecessary searching and wandering, while the rest of the game is so strong. The translation from the mouse to the controller could certainly have been better and all this unfortunately means that the game ends up in the middle bracket.

The Top Racer Collection is a neat collection of the first three Top Racer games and an addition of a new game. It preserves the original games quite well and includes a wonderful soundtrack. The new menus fit less with the style of the games, but the gameplay is still fun to pick up. The improvements are minimal, but with the addition of online multiplayer this makes the game more future-proof. The collection is two tens of euros and that feels quite pricey, but if you come across the game in a sale then I would definitely give this collection a chance.

Bahnsen Knights is a game in which you have to maintain concentration more than ever. If you don't do that, death will soon be near and you will soon no longer follow the storyline. However, even if you skip all the dialogues, you will notice that you can still find a way through the conversations, even though that defeats the entire purpose of the game. The choices are not really very deep, and you can quickly do a retry and choose the next choice. However; If you keep your mind on it, the story of this game is quite interesting. I was through it in just over an hour and the credits were already rolling by. In addition, I did not really enjoy the gameplay of the game (i.e. the mini-games).

The upbeat music, colorful levels, and cute characters can give players the wrong impression of what they're in for. The game contains a large number of areas, levels and items to collect and you will have to collect them all to unlock all the levels. Unfortunately there is a big but. The game quickly becomes frustratingly difficult and you regularly have to replay large parts of the levels to find all the collectibles. The game seems to focus on the target group that grew up with these Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1 platformers. Raccoo Venture is really not child's play and that is a missed opportunity.

After about 2 hours when the credits come, you can only really judge whether Varney Lake has been worth it and the 10 Euro rolls out of your pocket or whether you give a lot for that money in return. As far as I'm concerned, the story is a lot more accessible and interesting than that of Mothmen and I think casual players will find this game better than its predecessor. Although there are references, you do not necessarily have to have played the first part. However, there are fewer options that really influence the story.
