Generación Xbox
By Alejandro SerradorArt, at its finest, manifests our ability to accept ambiguity, while entertainment is quite the opposite, since its goal is to ensure that there is certainty in this world through a series of values. The concept of video games as an art form is a topic that has always been a point of controversy for the entertainment industry. Despite this, Promesa very accurately represents the art of expressing and breaking barriers through a family trip that plays a leading role in the exhibition of memories, claiming the importance of remembering from the material preserved in memory and bringing to the present the authentic of the past, what forged us as people.

By Rubén RionegroPromesa is another of those works that tries to break the barrier between product and art, using the video game as a narrative medium. It's a short walk of less than an hour, but the setting is wonderful and the graphic style is spectacular. Highly recommended if you like this type of experience.
