Needs Rollback Netcode, but it's a great excuse to play again one of the biggest franchises in Sega's portfolio. Maybe content for solo play would be helpful for new challengers. Only for fighting games enthusiasts.

Lust From Beyond is a game that uses sex and nudity that take place on screen as a claim. Unfortunately, his proposal is completely inconsistent in the rest of its sections, being even disgusting in many of its segments. It is very difficult for me to be able to save the game elsewhere, and I honestly believe that if you have plans to get hold of it for the pretext of having an erotic adventure in your catalog, I am sure that you will find better options. As a puzzle game it can convince the less demanding, however, the rest of its mechanics do not achieve what they set out to do. A title to avoid. [Not recommended]

Ultimately, Death Stranding 2 is a good video game, even recommendable, but for me, it's not as good as Death Stranding, and that's what pains me the most. And, while I celebrate Kojima's authorship and courage, and I liked the game as a whole, in terms of narrative, which for me is always where the author excels, I struggled to connect with it as I did with the first one. [Recommended]

Combining hack 'n slash action and cult management in a great and inspired way, this is definitely one of the best indies of the year. [Recommended]

Spacebase Startopia is a good strategy game with a lot of options and funny multiplayer modes. Its action can be stressing sometimes, but the Startopia sequel is a great option for lovers of strategy games.

Way of the Hunter is a hunting simulator with excellent ballistic mechanics but badly implemented fauna AI and hunting mechanics in which the only prey players will catch are tediousness and frustration.

Another outstanding compilation of some of the best arcade games ever created by Capcom. [Recommended]

If you want a side scroller shooter like Metal Slug, you are in the right place. Mighty Goose is a compelling run-and-gun game. [Recommended]

Thymesia is a good Soulslike, fun and enjoyable.

Not a bad port, and it takes advantage of Frostbite engine, so it's interesting if you like the Plants vs Zombies series, and you hadn't the opportunity to play the game in another platform.

It's definitely a unique RPG game, specially recommended for players looking for a different experience. [Recommended]

The craziness of trying to mix Tony Hawk with a horde mode from a random TPS works thanks to the talent of the fathers of OlliOlli. One of the hits of this summer. [Recommended]

Madison is not without its faults: it abuses jumpscares too much, it's not very good in terms of gameplay, nor is it surprising in terms of story. However, it achieves what it sets out to do: terror. One of the scariest games of recent times.

One of the most engaging and enjoyable JRPGs that have been released during this season. A really must-have game for fans of the genre. [Recommended]

Encased is role in its purest form. A science fiction story that captures you from the first minute, original as well as familiar. The construction of his world and background through main missions, secondary missions and characters that you meet during the adventure makes you completely lose track of time when you sit in front of him. More could have been asked of his combat system. However, isometric RPG lovers are in luck. Encased is one of those covered in this year 2021.

Endling is a survival game not suitable for the most sensitive, but it hides a much-needed message. [Recommended]

Kirby's Dream Buffet is a funny game, especially against other players, but it could have used a little more variety to stand out from the competition.

Total War: Rome Remastered is an interesting update of the 2004 classic. However, the improvements in the graphics can end up knowing little in some aspects such as animations and lighting effects on the battlefield. The addition of the two expansions and their available features from the start make it a definitive edition to consider. Quality of life improvements, improved camera and zoom, and accessibility options make it a product to be reckoned with, but not attractive enough to catch up with contemporary Total War games.

Definitely, one of the biggest JRPG ever made. If you love the genre, you should play it.

A poor renaissance for one of the biggest franchises in the hack and slash history. Maybe the Ninja Gaiden saga deserves more respect and love from Koei Tecmo. Can be interesting for new players without any experience in Ryu Hayabusa's adventures.

A good try to make a Shinchan game, but it is not for everyone.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a game I’m eager to praise, but it also warrants some criticism. As much as I've loved its world and anime-style characters, over the long term its combat has become more of a chore than something genuinely enjoyable.

Cartel Tycoon has some very interesting ideas that are unfortunately overshadowed by an inconsequential story and a certain lack of depth in its management strategy. It's addictive and fun, but it has the potential to be so much more.

A not so bad compilation of a mediocre platform video game saga. [Not Recommended]

Not the Digimon game you expected, but it is still a good choice if you like the novel graphic adventures. [Recommended]

EA Sports has good intentions with FC 26, based on the most repeated criticisms from the community in recent years. While everything is heading in the right direction in offline modes, beyond needing a few tweaks, Ultimate Team is doing the same with issues such as the progression curve, but it remains a tremendously demanding experience for the player. On the field, the sensations are very positive, with Hypermotion V already seeming to be well-oiled. [Recommended]

Although the pace can be a bit uneven, especially at the beginning, the challenge is present when the gameplay possibilities open up and is enlivened by unique humor accompanied by detailed and detailed animations. There is no doubt that this classic formula remains as solid as the first day. [Recommended]

F1 2021 is a show from start to finish. The enormous number of game modes already available, added to the incorporation this year of the career mode for two players, its versatility when it comes to offering an experience for all types of users and the good game that comes out of the DualSense in the version of PS5 are its strongest points. The Braking Point story mode is a very interesting addition when it comes to offering different challenges, but it lacks some punch in narrative terms, I hope they do not abandon it and improve this facet for next year. However, we are facing a very solid team that takes great advantage of the new generation of consoles. Make you feel like a real F1 driver. Very complete, addictive and tremendously entertaining. [Recommended]

I had a great time with Hard West 2, especially with its supernatural western setting and XCOM-like combat, but the RPG elements overshadow the end result. A third part with clearer ideas could be terrific.

UnMetal is an interesting and fun Metal Gear parody specially recommended for retro gamers and stealth-action fans [Recommended].

Alan Wake Remastered feels like a whole new game. The improvement in textures, shading as well as the new lighting system that inherits from Control will suit you wonderfully. NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0 application on the PC version manages to get the most out of it with 4K resolution and rocky 60 frames per second. The addition of the two downloadable content of the original and that its playable proposal feels as fresh as the first day makes it a more recommendable title whether the original was played or not. [Recommended]

Rainbow Six: Extraction is a fun co-op shooter for those willing to push themselves without entering the realm of frustration. Ubisoft made sure it's as accessible as possible, so it's really easy to form a fireteam across platforms and get to work. Replayable and interesting. [Recommended]

It's not the best Octopath Traveler, but you will enjoy playing it. [Recommended]

Even with the technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch 2, Assassin's Creed Shadows works surprisingly well, giving us the opportunity to enjoy in portable mode one of the most captivating open worlds in years. [Recommended]

Pokémon Pokopia is what happens when you let other creatives breathe new life into an increasingly worn-out formula. It's fresh, innovative and addictive, yet without losing the essence of what has been drawing millions of fans for years — and along the way, it manages to pull in those of us who got left behind. [Recommended]

People who loved the last Fallout games will love Starfield for sure. This is a great RPG open world game with plenty of things to do and it’s also really good in everything Bethesda usually does right, even if it's disappointing on the things that they tried to innovate like planet exploration and starship handling and combat. [Recommended]

Quotation forthcoming. [Recommended]

A great port to Nintendo Switch of one of the best JRPG ever. If you haven't played Persona 5 Royal on PS4 or PS5, this is a perfect moment! [Recommended]

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is a game that successfully captures the essence of the saga with solid level design, immersive atmosphere, and stealth-focused gameplay, but its poor AI undermines many of its strengths.

Little Nightmares 2 is a great adventure horror game with a marvelous art style and powerful atmosphere. [Recommended]

Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed is the more faithful recreation of what we see in the movies for the multiplayer terrain, but has a notorious lack of content that won't be able to ensure a long life span for it unless Illfonic starts to add maps, ghosts, and perhaps some other options.

If you enjoy replaying levels for alternate endings and don’t mind old-school difficulty, you’ll love it. However, if you seek a more intense or longer experience, it may disappoint.

It's far from the standard quality of the best chapters of the KOF saga but works well in his playability. The roster needs some classic characters. Has roll-back netcode.

It contains all the irreverence, style of humor and unjustified violence of the parent series, but I think the construction of the plot and characters fails to engage like other games that have used its formula.

With its retro futuristic aesthetics, Routine captures the feelings of the great sci-fi horror films like Alien. It isn’t perfect, and sometimes could be frustrating, but at the end, is a very interesting survival horror.[Recommended]

It is difficult to recommend Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 to players who already have purchased Puyo Puyo Tetris 1. But it is a great puzzle game that faces its two biggest series of the genre in a nice challenge.

Gotham Knights is a good action game with a great story, funny combat and interesting co-op options. Is not as brilliant as the Arkham series, but is easy to enjoy with Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood or Batgirl. [Recommended]

An amazing remake for two amazing JRPG. [Recommended]

Days Gone never shined bright among the PS4 exclusives, but hey, it has zombies and motorcycles. If you’re down for that, worry not: the PC version delivers. The game feels surprisingly natural on mouse and keyboard and lets you tweak a hefty bunch of settings.

RiMS Racing is one of the best choices if you are a motorcycles lover. It's not easy to find a simulator game with so many possibilities and a realistic driving component.

Resident Evil Village is good proof of what the franchise is capable of, looking for the variety of environments, situations and enemies. But trying to cover so much, sometimes the game is not as consistent as I would like, with a more basic and linear level design. [Recommended]

It has some really successful moments both in design and in its approach to terror (there is a really good scene), but it also suffers from an almost total recycling of the original scenarios with some modifications.

The first step for the future of Sonic: The Hedgehog. Ambitious, brave and fresh ideas and concepts for the Sega mascot, but need to improve his visuals and rethink a few things to be the game that Sonic deserves.

One of the best collections ever created for a fighting game series. A must have for fans of this saga. [Recommended]

Bayonetta 3 is chaotic, spectacular and as funny and changeling as you can expect from Platinum Games. Is a must have. [Recommended]

An interesting survival horror with a nice atmosphere and an intriguing story.

It could be painful start to play it and isn't perfect, but if you are looking for a massive strategy game with tons of options and amazing freedom, this is one of the best. And for sure, the most complex ever. [Recommended]

Don't let the fact that it's a somewhat simplistic remaster edition discourage you, either. Behind it there is a great JRPG that marked an epoch in the PlayStation 2 era.

If you do not know the Mount & Blade formula, with its final version after so long in Early Access and its release on consoles is the best time to discover it. [Recommended]

Tactics Ogre Reborn is the best option to play this awesome game.[Recommended]

Mario Party Superstars is a great collection of some of the best boards and minigames in the series. If you want an enjoyable party game, this is a game that deserves your attention [Recommended].

This game proves that The Legend of Zelda and musous makes a good match, again. [Recommended]

A decent card game with an interesting story, but it is far from being perfect. It deserved more dedication.

An action platformer game with some metroidvania inspirations and a charming but dark atmosphere. It is short, very short,but it is also a high quality indie game.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a fun co-op game with a brilliant map and sound design. Cold Iron cleverly spreads the various enemies they have across the campaign, dropping each bomb when it’s needed most; which is good since the game would otherwise feel incredibly stale.

Valiant tries to surprise with its crusade setting and multiplayer modes, but it has serious narrative problems and a gameplay approach that doesn't feel fresh in any way. Throw in a lot of crashes and lag, and the result is rather hard to recommend. [Not recommended]

Harvestella is a fun mix of elements that will seduce you.

An interactive horror film from the creators of Until Dawn. A great plan for Halloween night, trying to discover the mysteries from the hell itself. [Recommended]

Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo is a good reimagining of the 1958 celluloid classic. Packed with script twists and turns and creating a completely new story on the basis of the original, it can be blamed for at times extending longer than it should by discovering thus its weak points in the plot. Playable is scarce, it could well have the same plot and dialogues taken to the cinema or television and the result would have been the same. Artistically, it hits the ground running because of the modeling of the characters' faces and highly improvable facial animations. A narrative adventure that can please those looking only for a good plot that comes completely dubbed into Spanish.

NEO The World Ends With You is a great JRPG and also a great sequel that deserves all the time it needs to be completed. [Recommended]

Football Manager 2023 feels more as an update to the previous entry than a new game with exciting features to try. Even so, every little change and addition helps to create a more immersive, realistic and challenging experience even for longtime players.

An almost straight PS5 port of the same wonderful Action-RPG that premiered on PS Vita in 2016. [Recommended]

One could say New World is basic. And it definitely has some weird design choices scattered around progression, economy and world. There’s the graphics card issue too. And yet, something as simple as existing in Aeternum is fun and amazing: loved the aesthetics, the sounds, the animations, the combat, the progression. An experience too appealing to ignore.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a much needed medium-sized experiment set in Hidetaka Miyazaki's iconic fantasy world. It does a pretty decent job at mixing together and shaking up a sizable collection of enemies, weapons, weapon arts, magicks and consumables. The resulting concoction is undoubtedly fun and addictive, although it also feels deprived of its original epic, immersion and overall thoughtfulness. [Recommended]

A fun collection of microgames that adds an interesting story mode and a big roaster of playable characters. If you love the WarioWare series, this is one of the most inventive entries ever made. [Recommended]

Pentiment is absolutely focused on dialogue and a simple exploration, but with these ingredients alone it has managed to capture me thanks to the quantity and quality of the themes it deals with rarely seen in the video game industry. [Recommended]

One of the best shoot’em ups of this season. Great level design, controls and gameplay mechanics [Recommended].

RIDE 6 is a solid and enjoyable game, but also the clearest sign that Milestone is running on autopilot. It offers a wide variety of bikes and events, accessible handling and a robust career mode, but it suffers from recycled ideas, uninspired physics and a lack of ambition that is starting to become worrying.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a strong and confident remake of one of the franchise’s most important entries, well worth attention whether you loved or hated the original. [Recommended]

Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra not only proves itself to be a remarkable MOBA, but it has also managed to leverage the strengths of its license and adapt them perfectly to this type of game. With addictive gameplay, impressive technical features, and a surprising affection for Toriyama's work, this is a title that any fan of Goku and company should give a try. [Recommended]

Mario Tennis Fever is a game from another era with modern graphics. It's one where completing a story mode, tournaments, and challenges isn't just for the sheer enjoyment they provide, but also to unlock new content in the form of characters and rackets. These add more and more depth to a game that leaves nothing on the table. [Recommended]

Chivalry 2 looks good, has a powerful energy, and it’s really fun! Honestly, the only reason you might dislike this game is that you’re really, really into Mordhau and its infinite gameplay possibilities. From our perspective, it’s a new foundation for the genre. [Recommended]

Metal Eden delivers a fast-paced, polished experience that blends elements from DOOM and Ghostrunner. While its narrative is secondary, the intense gameplay makes it an exhilarating ride. [Recommended]

Minds Beneath Us is one of the best stories that you will enjoy this year, and also one of the best science fiction tales about hidden secrets and really important decisions. [Recommended]

Crisol: Theater of Idols stands out for its bold ideas and strong identity, even when its limitations become apparent. It may lack variety or ambition, but Vermila’s debut is a coherent and honest shooter that leaves a lasting impression. [Recommended]

Sonic Team has found in CrossWorlds a fun and dynamic formula that refreshes a classic and well-known gameplay style. It makes every race exciting, as the tracks are constantly changing. [Recommended]

While I do appreciate the return of Zelda's "dungeon based" formula, it's unfair to say that Dungeons of Hinterberg is just a "Zelda-like". Mixing up those elements with an equipment based progression, a calendar system and a social aspect (akin to Persona's), the game's focus is not only its dungeons, but also its plot and characters. Hinterberg wants us to think about tourism, the way it affects people's lives and changes their livelihoods. Even if flawed, I can appreciate its refrexing take on its influences and the message it conveys.

Suda51 strikes again. It's not perfect, but if you love Suda51 you will get what you are expecting.

eFootball debuts terribly with its new game as service model, but it's not its only problem: lacks of content and lots of technical and visual issues puts the new Pro Evolution Soccer far behind its own legacy. [Not recommended]

Clearly, The Beast is not the most ambitious installment, but it proves that sometimes less content can mean higher quality. [Recommended]

A surprisingly funny action game that only needs one button to create a chaotic bullet hell experience. [Recommended]

It's not the best in its genre, but if you are looking for a fun stealth game, Styx may be the one for you.

Death's Door wins you over with its isometric action, well-designed exploration and constant search for secrets. [Recommended]

Dustborn is an astonishing narrative challenge with a superb handling of the conversations and emotions of its diverse team of protagonists.

GameExcite not only shows its love for Star Trek: Voyager with this game, but also its respect for it, offering an outstanding survival and exploration experience, just like the hardships the crew had to endure during its seven-year journey home. It's not a perfect game; there are elements of its interface and mechanics that could be improved, and it can make you want to tear your hair out at times, but the feeling you'll have when you finish it will be just as emotional, if not more so, than what the ship's crew felt when they returned to Earth. Of all the Star Trek games that have been released, this one is undoubtedly among the best.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the best games of the year. That's something we all might have thought before we even played it, but it shouldn't belong to the group of deserving high marks, it should be in the select group of outstanding ones. Miles and Peter give us a hilarious adventure, full of necessary messages about asking for help when needed, and technically it is a delight for the senses. And it shows us that Insomniac is one of the fittest studios on the planet, and it's been that way for many years now. There will probably be bigger titans in 2023 when it comes to video games, but Marvel's Spider-Man deserves a place right after them. [Recommended]

Creatures of Ava from Inverge Studios is such a solid videogame, but without neglecting the charisma. Visual charisma, with a very solvent and inspired technical and artistic section, as well as gameplay mechanics that, without being brilliant, are consistent with the story and keep us entertained. It has some improvable details, such as inventory management or level design in certain phases, but if we add it all up, we have a game to recommend. [Recommended]

It does not change nothing in the genre but its a superb metroidvania charged with feelings. [Recommended]

An incredible narrative experience that you want to play one and another time. Disco Elysium The Final Cut in console is a great RPG, but it needs a few improvements and fixes the bugs.

ENDLESS Dungeon is an intelligent and unique proposal. With the spirit of a strategy and tower defense game, the progression of a roguelike and the look of a twin stick shooter, you shouldn't miss this amazing cocktail. [Recommended]

You've got to play it to understand it. If you liked Untitled Goose Game you will love this one too.

An intriguing and sometimes terrifying adventure you will love if you are a fan of mystery novels or TV Series like Stranger Things.

Call of the Sea is a game that knows how to find a way to tell its story and integrate its gameplay in an effective and balanced way through the exploration of its scenarios. It is a relaxed puzzle adventure, suitable for all types of players and that invites, through its careful artistic section, to be enjoyed calmly. I think it has the foundation to be a great game, makes some brave decisions and tells a peculiar story. However, I feel that it has been too restrained, that it could have given something more of itself in terms of duration and difficulty, but the truth is that I really want to see what will be next in Out of the Blue [Recommended]

Another great chapter with an interesting storyline, a magnificent art style and a funny new class to still enjoy with one of the best MMORPG actually.[Recommended]

Crimson Banner feels so unpolished in every regard that it's really difficult to recommend. [Not Recommended]

An average remaster of a not-so-good 2D platform adventure game from the 16 bits era. There are lots of games way better than this one. [Not Recommended]

A poor HD remaster for two incredible and still enjoyable Gamecube classics.

Not a bad game, but still needs to find its own voice apart from Persona 5.

Although it's not perfect, Dawntrail is one of the most ambitious expansions Final Fantasy XIV has ever had. Its story is good enough to entertain, but its gameplay is what this new adventure will be remembered by. With some amazing dungeons, trials and raids, Square Enix is, once again, proving that the 11 years old formula of the MMO is far from stale in 2024. [Recommended]

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is one of the best farming simulator games for Nintendo Switch. It's a good choice and deeper than expected. [Recommended]

A decent update of a memorable classic for SNES. It would have needed a more compelling effort in visual terms, but it is still a good option for retro gamers.

An amazing game for speedrun enthusiasts that includes more than 150 events from NES classics like Super Mario Bros, Zelda or Metroid. [Recommended]

A brilliant party proposal, but unfortunately it suffers a strong lack of content.

Its not the best Sonic game, but actually is really fun to play with friends.

A nice 2D action/horror game with good visuals and presentation, but that could have a better backtracking system and a more polished combat.

A brilliant return. This is one of the best 3D platformers made by Nintendo, and now it is even better thanks to the online multiplayer and Bowser's Fury, a very enjoyable open world experience. [Recommended]

A visual novel adventure with lots of personality. For me, it is one of the surprises of this year. [Recommended]

Chernobylite is a very ambitious game, with a narrative approach and an immersive gameplay that recreates the exclusion zone in Chernobyl. It is far from perfect, but if you want to play a different shooter, then you should try it. [Recommended]

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the biggest surprises in the metroidvania genre and, in particular, in the PoP series. [Recommended]

It could have included more content, but still is a great choice for Lara Croft fans.

Monster Hunter Rise returns the beloved action RPG series to a portable platform, bringing along the valuable quality of life lessons learned within MH World a couple of years ago. It’s swift and smooth, looks awesome and you just won’t be able to put it down for a good 40 hours of playtime. Could’ve used a more challenging and compelling endgame, though. [Recommended]

SaGa Frontier Remastered is a good remaster of a game that deserves more changes to feel a game from today. Nowadays, it looks like a too experimental game, but it’s undeniable that it still has its charm.

It is an advanced student of the Dark Souls III formula that, despite that lack of precision in the controls, has kept me obsessed until the end. [Recommended]

Nothing in this Remastered is completely essential except Naughty Dog's work itself, which seems not to have aged one bit. [Recommended]

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is a video game with very ambitious intentions and achieves some interesting things. The combat is appealing and agile, the progression keeps you entertained, and the artistic and sound design are good. However, its biggest bet is the narrative, and there it falls down in the way it tells it. If you don't mind the second part, you'll have a good time with this metroidvania.

A great collection for Sonic fans, but not the best possible.

Dragonheir: Silent Gods is a really nice title that mixes Dungeon & Dragons-style, role-playing mechanics with elements of turn-based combat and gacha.

A good remake, but it still feels a bit old.

A really good 2D platform / hack’n slash game for up to four players in local coop with nice visuals, sound and game mechanics. [Recommended]

His combat and role-playing strength are the best, without a doubt, of the set; without detracting from the mercenaries and their crazy personality. However, the issues underlying his combat, the hard-to-understand menus, and the difficulty of him all weigh heavily. Of course, from here, Haemimont Games can build a good rebirth for the saga.

Capcom has done a job not only of compilation, but of remastering, adapting the illustrations and 3D models to high resolutions and I think with better success than in their previous trilogy.

Immerse yourself in a steampunk universe with turn-based combat, deep customization, and an engaging and fun narrative. A sequel that invites you to dive into a steampunk world with turn-based battles, extensive customization, and an incredibly entertaining story. [Recommended]

The Medium manages to unite in a single game four elements that are not easy to find well integrated in a single title: it maintains a good narrative tension, telling a difficult story in an affordable way, and its soundtrack perfectly complements this narrative. Its aesthetic proposal gives a unique framework and, at the same time, complements the story. Finally, it properly integrates its playable mechanics within the product. It is a risky work, which invites, like the rest of the Bloober Team games, that each one has their own interpretation of what happens on screen.[Recommended]

Cocoon is so good that seems designed by angels. [Recommended]

Tekken 8’s generational leap is more evident than ever in this game. With 32 characters in its starting roster, a story mode that’s both bombastic and deeply personal, and an amazing game feel, it’s impossible not to recommend this game. [Recommended]

An excellent twin stick shooter / bullet hell shoot’em up with extremely good visuals, exciting gameplay and tough difficulty level. [Recommended]

If you want to suffer in the mythological Japanese hell, this game simply offers what you were looking for. It is very hard and visually impressive, but only recommended for the most dedicated gamers. [Recommended]

Tohu and its world are beautiful, but as a graphic adventure it has not the best gamaplay experience.

Reload is a great remake, not only because of the profound aesthetic change that modernizes the classic, but also because of the constant changes that you are discovering in every moment. [Recommended]

The Forsaken Maiden does not evolve what we have already seen in the first Voice of Cards, but it’s fine. Just fine.

GranBlue Fantasy: Relink is a weird JRPG. If you manage to enter their particular world, you can enjoy the proposal, but you have to know what you are going for.

Nobody Wants to Die is one of those games that give you what you expect, and a little more. We can assume with a trailer and a few images that this will be a narrative adventure with a powerful graphics... And that's true. But it's also a story that touches on very interesting sci-fi themes, as well as keeps the tension up until the final stretch. [Recommended]

Gran Turismo 7 is the most complete game in the series, uniting its offline past with what was learned in GT Sport. The control with DualSense is amazing. [Recommended]

Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior inverts hack and slash conventions with unique gameplay that knows how to twist seamlessly for hours, putting planning over execution. [Recommended]

An impressive 2D platform / action adventure with an extremely high difficulty level, flawless controls and nice old school graphics and sound. [Recommended]

A good kart racing game for Final Fantasy and Chocobo fans, but not the right choice when compared with better options like Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an overdesigned version of what could've been an appealing and easygoing game à la Hi-Fi Rush or Sunset Overdrive. DC's baddies are at their best when actors and artists are able to show their skills, but these moments are sadly overshadowed by many layers of unnecessary RPG depth that don't really add for a compelling experience. Rocksteady has clearly done what they could with a business model that once again proves to be a bit too ambitious to be genuinely good.

A very good Action RPG, plenty of missions to accomplish, areas to explore and a great sense of humor. [Recommended]

Triangle Strategy is must for Nintendo Switch owners who want to experience the power of enjoyment of a good RPG tactical game. [Recommended]

Bang-On Ball: Chronicles is a must-have exploration and platforming adventure for fans of the genre, especially for those who come from the older side of it. [Recommended]

This is not the best way to introduce yourself in the Jujuts Kaisen anime. [Not Recommended]

Echo Generation is a charming RPG, specially if you like TV Series like Stranger Things. However, it is also a bad balanced experience.

The Fabulous Fear Machine explores the role of fear and how it is necessary to convey certain messages, all within a meticulously crafted and polished pulp aesthetic. [Recommended]

Inscryption is a card game and more than just a card game. One in which the cards talk, complain and give you clues. No, I don't mean the next move, but clues to solve a larger puzzle that makes up its mysterious story, full of puzzles and meta-narrative uses of video game language. [Recommended].

The new entry of Detective Pikachu is far from being a great game, and it shows again that Pokémon has to reconsider the quality of the series.

Assassin's Creed Mirage had every ingredient to be an exciting return to the classic AC games, but it is ultimately weighed down by an inconsistent AI that makes stealth gameplay moot, a lackluster combat system and some other aspects that lack polish, including the voice acting.

Death Stranding: Director's Cut changes some of the foundations of the original game. Its new additions soften many of its exploration and combat mechanics, something that some players may be grateful for, but that will create some division within the community. Its extended plot is limited to a small detail that can change the player's perception of some characters, although it is not vital to understand its plot. All in all, it is a version that takes full advantage of the technology of PS5 and expands its content with a good number of activities such as Fragile races, practice in shooting ranges or the missions of Half-Life or Cyberpunk 2077 Whether you choose this version or the 2019 version, Death Stranding is and will be an unforgettable title. [Recommended]

Great and fun, but his lack of replayability it's a problem if you can't play with other friends in his multiplayer main protagonist of the game.

Forza Motorsport is a great racing game, with a simcade control style that feels great. With more than 500 cars and 20 tracks, and countless races to overcome, it's a fantastic experience for Xbox and PC users. Additionally, the multiplayer mode is well-made. [Recommended]

The Adventure of Dai deserves too much love. [Not Recommended]

A-Train All Aboard! Tourism is a game about making Japan great with trains, railroads, new buildings and with a lot of urbanism. It’s an ambitious game, but its controls and its way of providing you with information could be a lot better.

Paradise Lost is an interesting narrative adventure that captures the player's attention through familiar elements such as text and audio notes. However, his story is too reminiscent of others already seen if he has some baggage in the genre. The design of its scenarios and its artistic section stand out, its weakest point being the modeling and animations of human beings, although we rarely see them during the game. I would have appreciated some playable mechanics beyond exploration, but I can't blame Paradise Lost for this as, while it's not an outstanding game, it is engaging enough to keep you glued to the screen for 3 or 4 hours that lasts.

A very optional DLC that delves into the strengths and weaknesses of the main game.

We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship is a unique game, not because of its graphics, but because of its message and gameplay. You will build much more than a bond, you will get to know yourself much better and you will embark on a short but intense journey in company. [Recommended]

Big Brain Academy is a simple but funny game to test and improve your mind. [Recommended]

An action JRPG that knows how to engage even it has not been remastered the best way.

Metroid Dread is a superb demonstration about how to make a 2D action platformer with tons of exploration and backtracking. Definitely, a must for Metroid fans. [Recommended]

Total War Pharaoh has small problems due to its concept as a spin off, but CA has done a superb job of skillfully confining all the action in a period and map as complex as Ancient Egypt. [Recommended]

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has become "that" first game that presents the values of the new generation better than any other. [Recommended]

Far Cry 6 is the most complete game of the entire franchise. It is almost unfathomable, with an overwhelming amount of content. And yet, the formula feels stale when it urges the reiteration of objectives and visits to enemy camps. [Recommended]

MXGP 2021 is an interesting hybrid that combines arcade driving with simulation within a complex sport to reproduce at the controls under the same proposal. However, its physics system is capable of the best and the worst at the same time, with a number of game modes that are stuck in the past. MXGP 2021 needs to take real-time terrain variations more seriously, improve its career mode and make Playground a really attractive offering if it wants to take a step forward as a franchise.

A very fun and enjoyable arcade game that makes a very good use of the PSVR capabilities.

Not the best beat 'em up game you can play but it is still a right choice if you are a big fan of Asterix & Obelix.

Resident Evil Requiem is two games in one, and both are among the best you're going to see in 2026. It perfectly combines the horror of Resident Evil 7 with the action of Resident Evil 4. [Recommended]

A good sequel that has the same flaws and victories of the original game.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is, nowadays, the best way to revisit this classic. The flaws from the original are still there, but Jankenteam has done an amazing job with the visuals, music, narrative and ways to play it. [Recommended]

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has in its favor the shortage of titles with similar characteristics on the market. Its accessibility and adaptability to any player is, by far, its greatest success. However, the progress that the saga showed with its predecessor in 2019 has been cut off, we are facing a less ambitious delivery than one might expect. The truth is that, without being completely upset, I expected a lot more from it, having left me somewhat indifferent. There are better alternatives in the genre, even within its own saga.

Stray Souls is a horror game incapable of provoking fear in the player due to its generic approach, its terrible use of narrative and its clunky gameplay. [Not Recommended]

Oddly enough, Pokémon Legends: Z-A delivers a mostly polished, fairly challenging and compelling game —this isn't your average gimmicky merchandising-making machine. I enjoyed the story thoroughly and found the new combat system to be deep and interesting even beyond the scope of competitive-minded players. It's a great surprise overall, opening up new questions on how the franchise will evolve beyond its no longer unwavering roots. [Recommended]

Alan Wake 2 tries to do many things. Some of them work better than others, but I still think we have to appreciate that effort for not being "the typical Triple-A". Not perfect, but different. [Recommended]

Maybe Return to Moria is just what the license needed. It's simple in its survival or building mechanics, and approaches the story with force, but without presence. It doesn't stand out, but it's the best thing that could happen to The Lord of the Rings right now.

It's not the best Murder on the Orient Express adaptation, but I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Doom Eternal on Nintendo Switch is a dream come true. Obviously, there are some technical issues, but the gameplay experience is still frenetic and very enjoyable. [Recommended]

Laika: Aged through Blood is an awesome game fulls of ideas and that feels totally new [Recommended]

A disappointing version of one of the most anticipated games of recent years. Players don't deserve this lack of effort to make a decent version of Cyberpunk 2077 for PS4 and Xbox One. [Not Recommended]

The Lamplighters League is a good turn-based tactical RPG and will please fans of the genre, but it falls short in what could differentiate it from the rest. Its mechanics don’t innovate. Infiltration remains a good idea that is not convincing.

UFC 5 is a good fighting and MMA game that focuses on realism, but the problem is that it is very similar to UFC 4. The playable changes are hardly noticeable and everything is too similar to its predecessor.

Song of Nunu is a very pleasant surprise. It takes advantage of the League of Legends license like no other Riot Forge game to date, and inoculates you with the love that Tequila Works puts into their work. It's not a revolutionary game and could have a better finish, but it's as rounded and huggable as Willump. [Recommended]

Game Builder Garage is a spectacular way to understand how videogames work. [Recommended]

RoboCop Rogue City is a perfect game for fans of the character. Unfortunately, its nostalgic value and constant homages will not convince players looking for a more ambitious approach.

Morbid is not the best soulslike, but is an interesting action RPG that offers a few hours of simple enjoyment.

PayDay 3 is a better sequel than I wanted to believe, even better than his predecessor in terms of gameplay. However, it's not just PayDay 2's shadow that does a lot of damage to this game; Its unstable servers and illogical decisions against its own community.

Jusant is one of the best video game experiences of the year. Maybe its message doesn't get through to you, maybe the climbing doesn't call to you, or maybe the lowpoly art style doesn't appeal to you directly... But it is undeniable that Don't Nod gives us a jewel of just a few hours of duration that deserves all the recognition we can give it. Its demo already pointed out ways, but the final game is as well rounded as the most optimistic of us assumed. [Recommended]

Chicory is more than a game to picture. It is one of the best surprises I have had the pleasure to play. [Recommended]

It creates a captivating atmosphere, but at the same time spoiled by trying to last longer, with unnecessary walks and moments that dilute the main plot without contributing too much to it.

If you love The Secret of Monkey Island, you’ll love this game. [Recommended]

Treasures of the Aegean combines puzzle solving and platforming in a very clever way. [Recommended]

Disgaea 7 is not disruptive, but is a good entrance door to the franchise indeed.

A decent AJRPG that need better graphics and a more fun combat.

Hellboy returns to the world of video games with an adventure with roguelike and action overtones but that doesn't hit all of its points.

EA Sports F1 24 handling is wrong. The physics don't work properly and cause excessive grip on the cars, something that completely ruins the experience. Although the Career mode has received very good changes, the game doesn't have enough new features.

Pocket Dungeon offers action and strategy in a game that is simply amazing. [Recommended]

Mortal Kombat 1 reboots its universe to make it much more personal than before. Keeping its brutality and having lots of content, its roster of classic characters has never felt so alive.

Not the best WarioWare ever made, but still one of the best titles in the series if you want to enjoy a party style video game. [Recommended]

EA Sports WRC is a great rally game when it comes to driving. The cars feel very realistic, and the different surfaces force you to adapt your driving to be fast. Offers a solid experience for playing alone, but the online modes fall short and need more work on the technical side. [Recommended]

It's like being trapped in Resident Evil's mansion, but with a lot of clever puzzles and weird characters. [Recommended]

The biggest battles in one of the best strategy games of the year. [Recommended]

Party Animals is going to be a major hit among the players that enjoy playing games like Fall Guys or Gang Beasts. Excellent in multiplayer mode!

A less ambitious entry and a less complex story. Still, it's amazing how much work Ryu Ga Gotoku has done in just six months, adding a huge amount of content surrounding the main story.

Hauntii is one of the most unique indie games I have played in the last year. [Recommended]

An English Haunting is a magnificent horror adventure game that delivers exactly what it promises. [Recommended]

Loop Hero is one of those surprises that the independent calendar reserves for us every year. An addictive title from start to finish, the combination of strategy with cards is tremendously rewarding both in terms of evolution and discovery of new classes of characters as well as buildings in our camp that add new layers of depth with each turn. Despite its simple appearance, behind Loop Hero is an original proposal that does not neglect its narrative section which is gaining in intensity and interest as we progress through the game. The only downside is that it takes a good number of hours to begin to appreciate all that it has to offer, however, the work of Four Quarters exudes great care and care in each and every one of its sections. A roguelite that you cannot miss. [Recommended]

The Last of Us Part I may not be the most necessary remake in history, which seeks a new audience for the new generation and also future viewers of the HBO series; but also aims to remain for posterity, giving a greater aesthetic cohesion between Part I and Part II. [Recommended]

It achieves that sense of player satisfaction for which the first one became so famous, with puzzles that are not only well designed, but very well presented to build their rules. [Recommended]

This PS5/Xbox Series version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 offers the same content already seen in the original editions of the game, only with improved visuals and faster loading times. [Recommended]

A big failure for Call of Duty saga. Fun multiplayer action isn't enough to make up for a really poor campaign and a simply correct zombie mode. [Not recommended]

A really good Hollow Knight-Sekiro mix that offers great combats and interesting platform challenges with a great art style. [Recommended]

Dispatch debunks many things we believed to be axioms within the video game industry. On the one hand, it slaps down those who believe that superheroes no longer have anything interesting to say; on the other, it revives an episodic, narrative format that we thought had gone out of fashion in video games, and ends up offering a story and characters that we rarely see in this medium. [Recommended]

Hitman 3 is the closing to a trilogy that has accompanied us for the last five years that risks little in its standard version. Some new gadgets such as the camera or the implementation of situations against the clock try to give a breath of fresh air to a delivery that cannot be removed from the seal of continuity. However, everything that has accompanied Agent 47 during these years is still there and lovers of the saga will appreciate it. Obviously the graphic update of previous games and the incorporation of VR mode on PlayStation is something that cannot be looked the other way. However, I would have appreciated a greater effort in narrative terms in this ending, perhaps the weakest point of the saga in these editions. All in all, this is a good game that offers the user a huge amount of hours if what you want is to get the most out of each of its well-worked scenarios. [Recommended]

Maquette is a good puzzle game that does not get rid of some inconsistencies, its control and the design of some of its puzzles have room for improvement, as well as the integration of its narrative with the playable mechanics. However, he knows how to keep his puzzles fresh faithful to his idea of perspective management until the end of the adventure, managing to evoke emotions in the player through the artistic and sound section of him. I have really enjoyed the 3-4 hours that the title lasts, being a very pleasant experience which, despite its possible shortcomings, I have to recommend to those who like the puzzle genre and the more purely narrative adventures.

Astral Ascent is a good roguelite, which stands out for its approach to magic, as well as the importance of its customization, in a fast and demanding gameplay. However, Astral Ascent has problems when it comes to keeping the player hooked, especially in its final stages.

A Zelda-like game with RPG elements you should try.

A surprising fun and chaotic action game that looks like Mario Kart, but it plays like Super Smash Bros. Has tons of content, an addictive multiplayer and a gameplay more deep and complex than it seems. [Recommended]

It hasn't blown me away as much as Persona 5 Royal, and also it's not a perfect game, but it's impossible that this SRPG steals your heart. [Recommended]

Monster Hunter Stories is a good opportunity to discover this interesting spin-off, although it could have been better.

Maybe it's not on par with GUN or Red Dead Redemption, but if you are into westerns and enjoy video games, this forgotten jewel from LucasArts now remastered by the pros from NightDive Studios is one you should not ignore. A hard yet very well done title, with satisfying mechanics and plenty of content to keep you entertained and coming back for more replays in the future. [Recommended]

Expectations were extremely high for Black Myth: Wukong, yet somehow after playing we find ourselves eager to see what else China can offer from now on. The game itself isn't too transformative, but solid enough to make for one of those award-winning AAA games and -what's more important- an incredible stepping stone in making the Wuxia genre more globalized, interesting and appealing. A really good action-RPG in need for some minor sanding featuring some impressive UE5 tech and a legacy to make. [Recommended]

CyberConnect2 knows that doing the little gets the most.

and Roger is a stab to the heart disguised as a video game. Short, intimate, and devastating, but necessary; one of those titles that changes you without you even realizing it. [Recommended]

Even if you expected that Shadows of the Erdtree would be good, I think it will exceed your expectations. [Recommended]

Possessor(s) blends a brutally striking atmosphere with fighting-game precision, delivering a metroidvania that’s as aggressive as it is elegant. Its exquisite movement and singular visual style make it an intense and unforgettable experience. [Recommended]

Warhammer 40000: Space Marine II manages to recover the essence of the 2011 game, adding what was not feasible to achieve at the time: a spectacular and seemingly endless amount of enemies. [Recommended]

A sequel with a different philosophy that nails the atmosphere of the World of Darkness, yet often stumbles in its execution, trading player freedom for a linear story filled with brilliant but underdeveloped ideas.

The best Destiny content ever with a great story, amazing action and marvelous design. [Recommended]

Sacred 2 was a great action RPG, and even now, 17 years after, it feels big and ambitious. Sadly, this remaster doesn't do it justice. [Not recommended]

Kingdoms of Amalur was once a great action RPG with a funny combat system, so it is great to play it on Nintendo Switch with Portable Mode. Despite of, there would have been great improvements in its graphics and gameplay mechanics. It is a correct port.

It was an amazing JRPG on Super Nintendo, and still so nearly 30 years after. [Recommended]

A beautiful experience with more walking simulators than video games. Even that is fun, it feels unique, and is extremely captivating. [Recommended]

If you are looking for a great terror story, Still Wakes the Deep is calling you. It has an original setting, an amazing monster design and a good story with great moments.
