Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to, especially considering it's poor reception. Definitely an interesting decision to wedge it between seasons 2 and 4, I'm glad Clementine was still in it but it would've been nice if her story was told separately to this one maybe.

The family dynamic was good though, Javi is no Lee or Clem but he's still a good protag. My biggest issue would have to be with the bias it suffers from, with new players like myself trusting Clem at first sight even though that doesn't really make sense in character. Overall it still stands on its own as a solid game.

Después de años, finalmente pude jugar Luigi's Mansion. Siempre había escuchado cosas buenas, y desde que soy pequeño tengo memoria de querer jugarlo, sin embargo, por un motivo u otro no lo había hecho. Lo jugué en 3DS, donde, si bien los controles no son "óptimos" o los mejores, la verdad es que me cayó increíble por mi amor a los formatos portátiles.

Pasando al juego como tal, tiene una construcción muy interesante de género. Por un lado tiene mecánicas de acción/aventura con una aspiradora que debes maniobrar de la manera adecuada para succionar fantasmas, y combinarlo además con tres "power-ups" que sirven para ciertos tipos de criaturas, y por otro lado, tiene un acercamiento muy puzzle que mantiene el juego fresco a cada esquina. El loop es básicamente llegar a un cuarto, descifrar la acción concreta que debes realizar, y luego acabar con el fantasma en turno. Aunque creo que hay algunos conceptos que el juego pudo haber explotado un pelín más (específicamente las partes de piso que te dejan cambiar de gravedad), en general lo siento muy bien logrado, pues mantiene un ritmo constante en el que te arroja ideas de puzzles que no se sienten repetitivas, y aparte, en escenarios lo suficientemente variados donde se va construyendo una imagen de quiénes habitaron la mansión.

Luigi's Mansion no es que vaya por un enfoque narrativo, pero me agrada mucho encontrarme con un juego de Nintendo que maneja un tono ligeramente distinto y que se permite ser un poco más lento frente a otras propuestas de la compañía. La estructura de back-tracking / llaves es completamente la de un juego de aventura / horror, pero lo combinan con el típico carisma de la saga de Mario, y el resultado es un juego que tiene una estética muy particular que claramente toma mucho del horror, pero luego te mete chistes como "No digas mi nombre porque es Taboo" y termina generando una atmósfera que me he encontrado en pocos juegos.

I saw some clips of this game on TikTok and as a massive Papers Please fan I decided to give it a try.

You play as a doorman to an apartment building in a world overrun with evil doppelgangers and you have to make sure that you dont let them inside. This singles out specific areas of Papers Please' gameplay with checking I.D cards, lists of people allowed in and managing lots of information to make sure you let the correct people through. The game uses body horror quite effectively with some dopplegangers having very obvious deformities, makes for a creepy site without needing a jumpscare.

As previously mentioned I am a massive Papers Please fan so I really enjoy this gameplay loop but it does get old quite fast. From what I can tell, the developer is currently working on more gameplay modes which I look forward too. I hope for some kind of a narrative game mode as there is very interesting potential in the world that has been created.

I will 100% keep an eye out for future updates as I see a lot of potential in this game to be something great. With some tweaks to make the gameplay feel more fluid and if the game modes added are good, I will raise my rating higher in the future

The Wolf Among Us is a classic Telltale game. The developers innovated with a genre that lets the player decide the main character's decisions and how it changes the story, and it's no different here.

Telltale did a great job with the first season of The Walking Dead and tried to use the same mechanics with other franchises, such as Batman and Back to the Future. Almost all of them were not as good as their first hit, but The Wolf Among Us is one of the exceptions.

The Wolf Among Us has one of the best stories of a Telltale game. You play as a detective werewolf who lives in a society of fairy tale creatures trying to hide in the normal world. There is a mystery going on that you have to solve. How will you do that? By choosing the right dialogue options and deciding correctly where you will investigate.

There is almost nothing of traditional gameplay here. The only action segments are quick time events. You only control the character in a small scenarios and walk through the places to find points of interest.

I had a bad performance playing on my PlayStation Vita. I know it's not the best version of the game, but it's pretty common to see bugs and frame drops in Telltale games, even on the most powerful hardware.

It's a beautiful game for its time. The developers tried to simulate a comic book visual and did a great job, even with the performance issues.

If you like good narratives, The Wolf Among Us is a great game for you. I don't recommend it if you are not a fan of slow and narrative-driven games.
