Freedom Planet 2

Originally released in 2022 on PC, Freedom Planet 2 will finally be available on home consoles and it has a good argument for it: ENERGY.

A universe of its own with a real storyline and obviously explosive gameplay which has already stood out, as has its careful artistic direction which will also speak to oldies. A very good pastime in anticipation, playable exclusively in solo, let us point out.

Braid: Anniversary Edition

It was in 2008 that Jonathan Blow made his name worldwide with Braid, one of the greatest gems in the history of video games: brilliant in his level design and his way of playing with time, but also extremely skilful for its narration and its topics, this is a software that has left its mark on everyone’s minds. Here it is back many years later with a final version (announced three years ago anyway!): 4K, a remastered sound aspect, but also additional content with new puzzles to melt your brain …all in pleasure, of course. In short, if you have never touched Braid, this is the perfect opportunity to correct your situation. And if you’ve already done it, it’s not a big deal, you can do it again, right?
