Epic Games has listened to the pleas of many players by giving away Monument Valley for free through the Epic Games Store. PC players have until September 11 to claim this game, which has garnered an incredible rating of 98% extremely positive reviews on Steam, based on the opinions of approximately 6,000 users.
What is to come
Developed by ustwo games, Monument Valley has established itself as a benchmark within the puzzle genre, standing out for its clever level design that plays with perspectives and visual illusions. The game’s narrative follows the journey of Princess Ida, who, on her path to forgiveness, resides in a world of ethereal beauty and tranquility, contributing to its immersive experience.
For those who are not familiar with Epic Games’ strategy, this gift can be claimed from the app or the official website of the store. To add a bit more excitement, Epic Games has announced that next week they will also offer Monument Valley 2, which is considered a sequel that provides more and better compared to its predecessor. Additionally, it is already known that they will offer other popular titles such as The Battle of Polytopia and the frantic Ghostrunner 2, which will be available starting September 11.
With these initiatives, Epic Games not only solidifies its commitment to the gaming community, but also fosters an environment of discovery and appreciation for less conventional but rewarding titles. And as expected, the reception that Monument Valley has received has been very positive.
The interactive episode of the acclaimed series Black Mirror, titled Bandersnatch, will be removed from Netflix on May 12, marking an end point for viewers who wish to experience this unique narrative proposal. Since its release in 2018, Bandersnatch has been considered one of the most innovative episodes within the anthology, offering viewers the opportunity to make decisions that affect the course of the story, resulting in one of five different endings. An episode that has its days numbered (and its day is today) Set in 1984, Bandersnatch tells the story of […]
The interactive episode of the acclaimed series Black Mirror, titled Bandersnatch, will be removed from Netflix on May 12, marking an endpoint for viewers who wish to experience this unique narrative proposal. Since its release in 2018, Bandersnatch has been considered one of the most innovative episodes within the anthology, offering viewers the opportunity to make decisions that affect the course of the story, resulting in one of five different endings.
An episode that has its days numbered (and its day is today)
Set in 1984, Bandersnatch tells the story of Stefan, a young man who develops a demo for a video game inspired by a book that belonged to his deceased mother. The narrative unfolds as viewers choose between different options at key moments, an approach that has resonated with the use of interactive entertainment technology. However, most decisions lead to tragic consequences, true to the dark tone characteristic of the series.
Despite its success, Netflix has decided to shift its focus from interactive content to more traditional gaming services, centering its offering on downloadable titles like Monument Valley and The Golden Idol. This change has led to the removal of most of its interactive specials, with Bandersnatch being one of the few that has survived the initial cut. Recently, a Netflix spokesperson stated that “the technology served its purpose, but now it is limiting” as the company pivots towards new initiatives in the gaming space.
Bandersnatch is not the only entry in Black Mirror that explores themes related to video games; previous episodes like Playtest and USS Callister have also delved into this universe, showing a clear relationship between the series’ narrative and video game culture. With the upcoming removal of Bandersnatch, many fans of the series feel nostalgic when thinking about one of the most innovative experiences on the streaming platform.
There are excellent mobile games, but sometimes it’s the platform where you least feel like playing. Even though it’s convenient to play anywhere, without being tied to a fixed screen in a physical location, that doesn’t mean it’s the best place to play for many people. Where we have a big screen and a controller, or a proper keyboard and mouse, all mobile devices can take a back seat. That’s why we’ve chosen eight excellent mobile games that you can find on Steam and that you shouldn’t miss just because you don’t want to play them on your phone. […]
There are excellent mobile games, but sometimes it’s the platform that feels the least appealing to play on. Even though it’s convenient to play anywhere, without being tied to a fixed screen in a physical location, that doesn’t mean it’s the best place to play for many people. Where we have a large screen and a controller, or a proper keyboard and mouse, all mobile devices can take a back seat. That’s why we’ve chosen eight excellent mobile games that you can find on Steam and that you shouldn’t miss just because you don’t want to play them on your phone.
Having arrived on Steam literally yesterday, April 28, this is one of the big surprises of last year. Behind its sweet aesthetic clearly aimed at a female audience, there is an excellent open-world adventure game with a captivating narrative and more than interesting puzzle and exploration mechanics. A game that deserves a chance if you are a fan of the last two The Legend of Zelda or Genshin Impact.
The grandfather of all modern RPGs is Wizardry, but it hasn’t had a game worthy of its name for many years. At least until they released this gacha last year where you don’t need to invest a single euro to play. Now playable on PC, it’s the perfect time to discover one of the Wizardry games that has best captured the old-school essence of the franchise while adapting to a modern sensibility, all without abandoning what makes Wizardry the franchise it is.
Created by Ustwo Games, this trilogy of games was born for iOS but has made its way to PC, collecting numerous awards and critical acclaim along the way. And it’s no wonder. It is a puzzle game with absolutely exceptional artistic design, featuring fascinating puzzles that continue to grow with each new sequel, feeling more than just a mobile game due to its tremendous finish. One of those must-have games for puzzle lovers. Or for lovers of good games.
Another game that is on its third installment and, justly, started its journey simultaneously on PC and mobile. Being a 2D Action RPG in the style of the classic The Legend of Zelda, its two greatest achievements are being tremendously beautiful and adorable and having a fascinating open world. Improving tremendously with each new sequel, it is a franchise that has managed to find its own personality and whose fans eagerly await each new installment for good reasons.
The great Disney game of recent years is taking the mobile world by storm, but you don’t have to play it outside of your PC if you don’t want to. Available since its launch on both consoles and computers, this life and adventure simulator invites us to dive into the Disney worlds and discover what it is like to be a Disney princess, or at least, an inhabitant of their worlds. All of this while Donald gets angry non-stop for reasons we don’t quite understand.
If there is an absolutely hilarious game that many more people should play, it is What the Golf? A game that originally came out for iOS and just a month later for PC, and that you shouldn’t miss. Why? Because it is a golf game where absolutely nothing works like in real golf. Sometimes you have stealth missions. Sometimes you are the ball. Sometimes the rules are those of soccer. What are you doing reading instead of running to play it?
The latest game from the creator of Final Fantasy was locked on Apple mobiles for years, causing many fans to miss out. Now Fantasian Neon Dimension is available for PC and consoles to prove that its creator still knows how to make tremendously memorable and unique games in the form of some of the best JRPGs in the world.
World of Goo was one of the first indies to stand out. How can a sequel be 15 years later? A metanarrative madness about the very existence of the sequel to World of Goo that is, moreover, an excellent sequel in its own right. Because World of Goo 2 is also World of Goo 3. And World of Goo 4. And we could keep going like this for quite a while, but if you like World of Goo, it’s better to experience it for yourself rather than stopping to explain it to you.
Today has been what points to being the last Nintendo Direct for the original Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch 2 will still have to wait a week to receive its first one, and its successor is reluctant to die. Which doesn’t surprise us. With over 150 million units sold, Nintendo would be foolish to let it go. That’s why they have announced many interesting games for their console. And we are going to tell you everything that has been announced and why you should pay attention. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Probably the announcement I was waiting for […]
Today has been what seems to be the last Nintendo Direct for the original Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch 2 will still have to wait a week to receive its first, and its successor refuses to die. Which doesn’t surprise us. With over 150 million units sold, it would be foolish for Nintendo to let it go. That’s why they have announced many interesting games for their console. And we are going to tell you everything that has been announced and why you should pay attention.
Probably the announcement that everyone was waiting for and that has finally arrived. After the excellent Dragon Quest III HD-2D they have announced that the next two installments of this trilogy will arrive this year to close the story. We knew they existed, we knew they would follow the same aesthetic, but we didn’t know when they would be released. And although we will still have to wait for a specific date, at least we know one thing: they will be released in 2025 and for Switch.
No Sleep for Kaname Date: AI Somnium Files
Kaname Date returns in a new detective adventure that will lead him to rescue an Internet idol. Diving into the psyche of suspects and involved individuals alike, this is the third part of AI Somnium Files, an excellent series of graphic adventure/visual novels that have taken the detective story fans by storm. And not without reason, as they feature tremendously charismatic characters, fascinating mechanics, and stories filled with unexpected twists. Something that seems to continue here.
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army
After the success of the Persona franchise, it is no surprise that Atlus is bringing back its old spinoffs from Shin Megami Tensei. In this case, it is Raidou Kuzunoha, who in this remaster of The Mystery of the Soulless Army invites us to fight fire with fire by embodying a demon hunter from the early 20th century who battles these vile creatures by recruiting other demons willing to help him. An excellent game, previously locked to the PlayStation 2, that you shouldn’t miss if you enjoy Shin Megami Tensei or Persona.
Shadow Labyrinth
This peculiar reimagining of Pac-Man, now in the form of a metroidvania where we have to escape from a dying planet, we already knew about, but until now we didn’t have a release date. Now we know it comes out on July 18 and we can’t wait to see what else this peculiar thing has to offer.
Patapon 1+2 REPLAY
Perhaps there are no more unique rhythm games than Patapon. And now we can replay them in this remaster that, in addition to allowing us to play on a big screen, will also include numerous quality of life improvements, specially designed for those who have already played it. A perfect opportunity to replay them on July 11, but also to discover a franchise unjustly forgotten by Sony. Although not by its creators.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar
Remake of the Nintendo DS game, Story of Seasons is the good Harvest Moon. That means this is one of those titles you should keep in mind if you like farming games. And that you shouldn’t let it pass under your radar.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
The previous trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond did not leave us very satisfied. It had too much action and didn’t seem very Metroid Prime, which was disappointing. Now, this trailer does give us exactly what we want: a Metroid Prime like the first three, but with a completely different touch. One of the great games from the Direct that we hope to sample very soon, but it only has a generic 2025 release date.
Witchbrook
If you like Stardew Valley, but have always thought it would be even better if instead of a farm you had to live in a wizard school like Hogwarts, then Witchbrook is for you. With cooperative play for up to four people, it has the potential to be one of the big releases of this year. And you won’t need to switch to Nintendo Switch 2 to enjoy it.
The Eternal Life of Goldman
With excellent animation reminiscent of classic Disney’s Fantasia, The Eternal Life of Goldman is a beautiful game that has caught attention precisely for that. The care put into its art. And what about gameplay? It seems to be a very appealing old-school platformer that will deserve attention.
Gradius Origins
Gradius is one of the great franchises of the shoot ’em up genre, and now we can enjoy it again on our Switch, with an excellent collection of classic games, as well as a new installment. But to enjoy them, we will have to wait until next August 7.
Rift of the Necrodancer
Although it has gone somewhat unnoticed, Rift of the Necrodancer is one of the best games of 2025. It is an excellent rhythm game that you should have already played on PC and, if you haven’t, you can now enjoy it on Switch. When? Today! And don’t miss it, because truly: it is one of the best games that have been released this year.
Tamagotchi Plaza
One of those games that may not be very flashy, but surprisingly works well among a certain audience. And it seems that this Tamagotchi Plaza wants to take the place left by Animal Crossing on June 27 with all its sweetness.
Pokémon Legends Z-A
Pokémon Legends Z-A is one of the most anticipated games from Nintendo, and although we were expecting a release date, it seems we will have to wait a bit longer. With a generic late 2025 timeframe, we have been given a bit more information. We now know that battles against trainers will be based on a tournament called Z-A Games, which is defined by trainer ranks starting from Z and must be ascended to A. This is something we are eager to learn more about.
Rhythm Paradise: Groove
Rythm Paradise is among the best rhythm games in history, and we haven’t had a new one since its last release on 3DS. But that will change soon. In 2026, with no specific date yet, Rythm Paradise: Groove will be released, a new installment of this excellent series of rhythm games that are as simple as they are charming that we only hope will once again feature a hilariously uncoordinated choir of children.
SaGa Frontier Remastered 2
The SaGa franchise was the great forgotten one by Square Enix for years, but it seems that it is now one of their favorite children after the success of its remasters, remakes, and new installments. That’s why it doesn’t surprise us that they bring SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered, a classic perhaps less remembered than its predecessor, but equally exceptional and that you shouldn’t miss if you are a fan of JRPGs. And it is available today.
Monument Valley 1, 2 and 3
Monument Valley is among the best mobile games of all time and is now coming to Nintendo Switch. Or it will very soon. Because the first two will be released on April 15, while we will have to wait until an indefinite date next summer to enjoy Monument Valley III. A perfect opportunity to enjoy some unique games.
Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots
The most fun golf game saga in the world is back, now for Nintendo Switch. Although it has historically been a Sony franchise, it now comes from Bandai Namco, but it seems to still have the same craziness and fun as always, so give this historic franchise a chance when it releases on Switch next summer.
Marvel: Cosmic Invasions
Dotemu has specialized in making pixel art beat’em’ups and the license they have chosen for their next game couldn’t please us more. Marvel Cosmic Invasion puts superheroes from the Marvel universe to stop a cosmic invasion in the only way they know: by throwing punches. Moreover, with so many X-Men appearing, we can’t say no to this game.
Tomadachi Life: A Dream Life
To conclude, a bombshell that may not seem like one to many. Tomodachi Life is a hit in Japan and also a hit in the West, even though it is not one of the big well-known names from Nintendo. And this Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is one of the noblest ways to end the life of such a popular console as the Nintendo Switch: appealing to the general public with a game designed for them. And for that reason, Nintendo, you have sold over 150 million consoles.
