New video games that should play from July 14th to 20th

– For a man who started as a villain, Donkey Kong has proven to be one of the most versatile heroes of Nintendo, who does everything, from driving to playing to (serious) teaching math. Donkey Kong Bananza focuses best on what he can best beat. Someone stole their bananas, so it is up to DK to beat through the underground world to pursue the culprit. It is the first 3D adventure for the Big Lug for a long time, and Nintendo said it comes from the same team that developed the best -selling Super Mario Odyssey. Start Switch 2 on Thursday.

-Another arcade favorite-Pac-Man-Man back in Shadow-Labyrinth, although the Bandai Namco publisher has changed the pelletchomper radically. Here you play as a swordsman No. 8, a discoverer who is accompanied by a mysterious yellow ball called Puck. While you cross the 2D-SURIERDIAN world, you can be reminded of another classic: Metroid from 1986. However, there are some levels that look more like PAC-Man labyrinth, and you will still be hunted and hunted by ghosts. It is a strange and angular approach for the legend and arrives on Thursday in PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.
