Football Manager 21 may not look like a revolutionary entry, but the sum of its advancements, the new analytic tools, and the numerous improvements inside the match engine are enough to keep you hooked again for hundreds of hours.

NBA 2K21 on the court is a true showcase of the next generation of consoles, a leap of quality with the best sports gameplay ever in a game. But, off the court, it demonstrates everything that's been wrong with NBA 2K for the past years: a pay-to-win experience riddled with microtransactions that drowns what otherwise could be an excellent game.

Twin Mirror is another interesting experiment by Dontnod, committed to transferring its concerns about human and social issues through the medium, which on this occasion it does not achieve with such mastery due to a somewhat rushed development, but still continues to be fun and stimulating.

Godfall is arguably the most conformist looter of all. Perhaps fearing to fail where its predecessors failed, it passes by as a nay-sayer: ‘no’ to big cinematic stories, ‘no’ to huge sandbox environments, ‘no’ to… matchmaking? No visual customization? Why? That’s right, this one appeals to dedicated players, holding just about the bare minimum amount of features. Fancy graphics, deep progression, challenging combat. It’s fun, sure, but we’d wish Aperion was a much meatier world.

Chronos: Before the Ashes is a good action role-playing game, its proposal to gain age with each death is interesting, although it could have been explored in greater depth. Despite this, the adventure places the player on the razor's edge in each combat and knows how to accompany his exploration of good and original puzzles that are perfectly integrated into his design. Unfortunately, the game loses consistency during combats where its virtual origins may have ended up being too great a burden to get rid of. All in all, this is a recommended game for those who love souls challenges looking for a somewhat different experience.

A great JRPG you should play if you would like to live a great and classic adventure. Unfortunately, this edition is a graphic port from Nintendo Switch, so it doesn't shine like the original release.

Fun action, intelligent puzzles and a wonderful world to discover. Ubisoft Quebec has created one of the best action adventure titles of the year.

Empire of Sin is a practically unique title in the current video game scene. The combination of role-playing mechanics with turn-based combat, together with the empire management system and diplomacy, makes this a very particular game. It has really been a fun experience, it is a pleasure to role-play a mafia boss who is gaining notorious points as his dominance over the city and the other gangs grows. However, I have the feeling that many of its mechanics are not exploited in the most appropriate way, as the whole of its proposal has not been able to coalesce as would have been desirable. However, it is a title to take into account of which I would like to see a continuation that knows how to take everything it proposes one step further since, on the table, it has enough ingredients to be more than just a good game.

A rare but original adventure tha combines exploration, capture, conversations and a disturbing sense of humor. Try it if you want something different.

A fascinating adventure with a beautiful side in his visuals and great playability. His taste it's like an old-school game, but makes great points in the adventure genre with captivating music and a unique world.

Planet Coaster: Console Edition is a good port to consoles. It lacks some of the PC content and it has some technical problems, but it is still a very good experience.

Visage is a great survival horror that will scare you with terrific atmosphere, the jumpscares and its grotesque phantoms.

This remake is the perfect excuse to revisit or discover for the first time a work that strengthened the video game industry a decade ago.

A must-have for Zelda fans that wanted a more in deep explanation about the events of Zelda Breath of the Wild. It's still a musou game, not a Zelda game, and it has some technical issues. However, it's also a great collaboration between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, so it deserves a try.

Fuser is far more than a mere video game: is an awesome DJ experience with songs and genres of the last 50 years. Harmonix is back.

An enjoyable video game experience developed by a team with only one artist. Its awesome playability mixes FPS with hack and slash with great game results, but it lacks quality when you see the visuals and sound of the game. Short but intense.

It has been very easy to forget about Sackboy in the whirlpool of new generation games, attracting so many expectations. But it's even easier to fall in love with it, becoming one of the surprises not only of PlayStation 5, but the year. Sumo Digital has understood the genre perfectly and although there is nothing here that you may not have seen a few times already, it is impossible not to be impressed by the good design of its levels. It doesn't matter if you move to the new generation: if you like platform games, you have to play it.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War feels like one of the best ways to rely on old traditions: sure, you know what to expect from pretty much every aspect of the game already, but at least it’s fun, immersive and to some extent, refreshing. Puzzles and investigations are more than welcome for the campaign whereas big maps and VIP escort are cool, different paced additions to the same old modes we’ve been playing for ages.

Part Time UFO is an interesting new approach to the puzzles games by HAL Laboratory. Particularly fun when played in coop, it's charming, humorous and a good choice if you like this kind of games.

Spider-Man Miles Morales isn't as good as Insomniac's last, but it's also a nice way to launch your PS5 experience. A great action and adventure game that could be awesome with some innovation and fresh ideas.

Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia is a good comeback of Bakugan but maybe only suitable for kids. Its battles are too slow and his campaign it’s not too deep. His magic is within his online mode against close friends.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon manages to offer a full fledged JRPG adventure while keeping everything that made the series so beloved by fans. The RPG aspects of the game could use some more depth, but the strength of the story, the absurd side missions and a charismatic new main character show that the future for the Yakuza series is brighter than ever.

The Falconeer is an eye-catching experience and the controls are smooth and fluid; but when the hours and missions accumulate, repetition takes its toll on us and the game fails to break the basic pattern in its design and dogfighting.

If you love the show, you will have a good time with Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues. It is not the best brawler of the decade, but it does is a decent game to fight and upgrade your characters.

Astérix y Obélix XXL Romastered does not improve the original game, it only makes it playable nowadays.

A great second step in the new horror franchise of Supermassive Games. Creepy and spooky, with lots of jump scare. A perfect plan for Halloween.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the best choice in order to discover -or rediscover- one of the best Wii U games. This edition adds coop for story mode, new missions, a high difficulty setting and more. Definitely, it's a good improvement when compared with the original release.

London in Watch Dogs Legion is a great open world with a lot of things, crazy actions and hacks to do, and is really fun. But it repeats the same mistakes of previous Watch Dogs games, with a poor driving experience and missions with a lack of variety.
