FIFA 20 is one of the most complete football experiences out there and an unskippable entry for the fans.

Subnautica: Below Zero is easily one of the best survival/exploration games of this year, and you should definitely check it out even if you weren't a fan of the first game.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is a great game. Firaxis’ work is presented as an extremely complex experience, and from a distance, it can be boring for more than one person. However, once you pay attention to it, you discover something addictive that gives you a shot of dopamine with each new concept you manage to understand. The title allows you to create your own story, and the way in which each civilization advances reacts in real time to your decisions. The way in which a society evolves is natural, and it gives you enough space to work like a book, or go crazy and present scenarios that are the dream of more than one.

A great spin off for one of the most beloved franchises in videogames.

Back to the roots. Call of Duty: WWII is a great WW2 FPS that uses plenty of old school mechanics.

The gameplay is phenomenal and is able to captivate the player from the first moment. While naval combat is not something that stands out, the tactical turn-based RPG combat in a 2D environment is very well implemented. The job system offers a great level of customization that allows each player to approach the various challenges in the way that they like best, and each robot has the necessary skills to always be part of your main team. I can't wait to see what's next for Thunderful and SteamWorld, but if the developers continue with this high level of quality, then I'm sure that this team will continue to be one of the best in the indie scene.

If you're a die-hard fan of this franchise and have played the other titles in the Digimon Story series, you definitely shouldn't miss this one. And if this is your first time with the brand, but you love the genre, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to check it out. In fact, there's a demo available to clear up any doubts.

A very interesting Golf RPG. Crazy mechanics, crazy story and crazy NPCs. A fresh game.

Crimson Desert tries to offer something for everyone. While it presents itself as an open-world game, the reality is that there's much more to it. Although the foundations are solid, Pearl Abyss doesn't stop there, adding multiple superfluous systems and mechanics that only cause the game to constantly stumble. While there are some quality elements, everything surrounding the good ideas is marred by a terrible interface, unresponsive controls, and a structure that lacks a clear direction. Like a buffet, Crimson Desert throws too much at us, but each bite is, in most cases, a disappointment.

Here is a political, social and artistic message ready to be enjoyed.

Final Fantasy XVI is a fantastic game from start to finish, which manages to combine the classic structure of the series with a combat system focused on action and customization. The Rising Tide is the perfect complement to this experience, and although this marks the end of this chapter in the history of one of my favorite video game series, I can't wait to see how Square Enix takes everything that worked here and expands these concepts in Final Fantasy XVII, or in a sequel to Clive and Joshua's adventure.

A Way Out is more than a prison escape adventure - it is an escape from individualism with a clear and honest proposal: to make you trust someone else again, however difficult that reality may be.

Yoshi’s Woolly World is one of the most beautiful games that Nintendo has ever created. Its great game mechanics and sublime level design make this title a must have for every 2D platformer fan.

Despite not being the expected genre revolution, River City Girls 2 is a fantastic sequel. WayForward improves every element possible, and pays homage to Kunio-kun's legacy.

The gameplay is addictive and offers us enough space to experiment. It may be the simplest and simplest Warriors of the entire genre, but it is accessible and will be liked by many people. Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have managed to create a great game to say goodbye to 2020.

Tell Me Why tells a compelling story with some of the most memorable characters in videogames of recent years, but the narrative sometimes feels rushed and some of its best moments feel a little bit too short.

Budget Cuts finally arrives to the PSVR and it is an experience that everyone that owns this device, should check.

Although it does not end up being as robust an experience as other games of the genre (Planet Coaster, Surviving Mars), Jurassic World Evolution 2 still is a complete game, which solved the weaknesses of its predecessor and wanted to respond to users that are not-so-enthusiastic about the Tycoon resulting in a title that is not complex and quite friendly for the players.

The Art of Battle combat system works more effectively than we had expected, giving us a multiplayer combat game full of possibilities and close matches. Ubisoft has tried something new and has succeeded with a very deep multiplayer experience that is full of potential.

System Shock is the remake fans have been waiting since 2015 and it succeeds in bringing back all that 90s PC gaming experience. Including the outdated feel in an era flooded with greater and more attractive games.

Windjammers 2 is a worthy sequel to one of the hidden gems of '90s arcades. DotEmu has created a top-tier competitive game that may be one of the most exciting events of EVO.

Thanks to its intricate and well-crafted level design, intelligent implementation of new mechanics, great pacing, an interesting story that significantly expands the series' lore, spectacular technical department, and of course, great respect for what this series has always been, we can tell you that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is that long-awaited return we've been waiting for. Of course, there are the NPCs that are completely unnecessary and that, in reality, we would have liked them to take more risks, but at the end of the day, Retro Studios knew how to save this project that we're sure, on more than one occasion, was on the verge of disappearing. Switch 2 closes its first semester of life with a gold standard.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a highly recommended title for this Christmas season, as it will serve as an appetizer to welcome Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which looks extremely ambitious and promising, and will be one of the strong cards for when 2024 begins.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is loaded with tons of sweet fan-service but at the same time is one of the best experiences on the Lego videogame universe in years. The game is better on its puzzles and the inclusion of fresh mechanics that are condensed in a most varied experience.

Unravel is not only an eye candy, it fulfills its objectives as a good videogame with interesting platforming challenges based on the unraveled character and its yarn. With an outstanding presentation, beautiful landscapes, sensitive story and reflexive ambients, it's a pleasure that many people should enjoy.

Besides including all of its previously released content, Resident Evil: Revelations Collections lacks of an interesting cooperative mode or special features for the Nintendo Switch. It's a good addition for the library, just not great.

Battlefield V is a good FPS that invites to review everything related to the Second World War. The slight changes in their game dynamics make it much more fun than before, however, the design of their maps and even their characters is less bright than in their previous game. Including a campaign mode is something that many of us greatly appreciate, but it feels repetitive and, although its narrative is good, I do not think it stays in the hearts of the players. Although in general its sound and visuals are impressive, it has some scratches in its programming that take part of its brightness to one of the most striking sections of the game.

If you've never tried the original, I think this version could be a perfect choice, as it's an entertaining game from Bend Studio, and you'd be contributing to a possible sequel. Likewise, if you tried it years ago, you might be convinced by the number of additions they've added.

I feel that it is a very decent game and that it should be tried, but it is also not the work that is going to change the industry in the narrative game genre; For that, its development studio still has a way to go. The advantage is that it is not a full-price title, so if you want to venture out and buy it, I would say it is a good idea, especially if you like works that bet almost everything on the story.

If you enjoy simulation-type games, you should definitely enter this particular island, but if you prefer non-stop action, you might want to move on to other games.

Rock Band 4 gives us a nostalgic title and a lot of joy for those who love the franchise; unfortunately, the game is the same thing as past versions.

MLB The Show 21 is another solid entry in the franchise, but some technical problems and little to no innovations make it one of the weakest installments in the whole series.

A great compilation of the best content of WarioWare. Pure Gold for all Nintendo fans.

Shinsekai: Into the Depths is an pretty interesting indie like metroidvania game developed by Capcom. It has a lot of personality and new ideas based on underwater exploration.

RIGS is one of the best PSVR launch titles, it's not a simple tech demo of the virtual reality capabilities, it's a completely fun game with deep mechanics, thrilling matches, a lot of technical achievements and long term potential.

Even right now Heavy Rain doesn't look as technically impressive as the original game when we played it six years ago, the legacy of the game is still here. Heavy Rain is a good thriller that defines David Cage's interactive drama and now can be played by new PlayStation users on PS4.

Eastward is just an amazing adventure full of surprise and great characters. It's pixel art and music are one of the best things in gaming during 2021.

Thanks to a series of substantial visual updates, and an improved combat system, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion stands as the best remaster Square Enix has ever made. This is the definitive version to enjoy the adventure of Zack Fair.

Worms W.M.D. is a real return to the classic formula of the series with subtle and effective changes that keep the experience fresh and completely fun.

With this second chapter Life is Strange becomes better because the game retakes what was right on the first episode with a story that is more interesting. If things continue in this way, the game maybe will be a surprise that we were not expecting.

In summary, if you've never tried the series and always wanted to do it, you should definitely take the step forward and purchase one of the different versions of current consoles or PC. Klonoa is not a franchise that stands out for being a revolution, but the joy comes from taking the control and live an adventure full of fantasy.

In conclusion, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a compilation that appeals to all audiences: longtime fans and those who want to explore its origins in the arcades. It includes essential titles, side projects, and a few spin-offs with their own interesting tidbits, all worth checking out.

Escape Plan Bravo might not be the best chapter in the series but still manages to show us some memorable scenes.

Abzû is one of the most beautiful and relaxing experiences of the year. It's simple game mechanics, awesome art direction and outstanding music, are just some reasons to play this amazing game.

Before The Storm fits perfectly with its new protagonist Chloe about the way she sees and feels life. The fact that Deck Nine was able to make something completely different but familiar, at the same time, just makes us want to play the rest of its episodes. The one, big problem we were able to find about it, technically, is that despite changing its graphic engine from Unreal to Unity, the game still struggles to be cohesive.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a hugely important game for the series. The game experiments with its structure and combat, and while I don't think everything we see here will be part of Generation 10, it's likely some ideas will be reworked or expanded upon in the next Legends installment. No, it's not a perfect game, but it's still a lot of fun that makes it clear that Pokémon still has enough energy to keep players engaged for years to come.

If Borderlands 4 is a soft reboot, the future of the series looks very attractive. The game introduces interesting ideas and keeps all the systems that have worked in the past intact. While the open world could have been better, this is a very interesting step toward a promising future for the series.

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is not a game, but it can be appreciated for other elements like its fragmented and mysterious story, impressive landscapes, detailed environments, excellent soundtrack and ambiental audio. Maybe this project is not for those who are waiting for a videogame but it's an interesting way to offer us a story and a world in that we are only tourist and observers in a slow and contemplative experience.

A great and awesome tribute for all the classic arcade racing games like Out Run and Top Gear.

FIFA 22 actually feels different from the rest of the franchise, but it's still the same old game. New movement mechanics open up new strategies of scoring, but the AI still feels pretty dumb sometimes. Overall, it's a solid soccer experience that fans likely wont's miss out.

Graceful Explosion Machine is a small but great arcade shooter that proves to be fun and addictive.

All of this results in an experience that will appeal to those who know Elden Ring by heart and are masters of its combat system. However, if you don't fall into that group, Elden Ring Nightreign likely isn't for you. At the end of the day, FromSoftware presents us with a unique experiment that makes it clear that its 2022 title has the potential to expand almost anywhere, though that doesn't mean it should.

Mega Man Legacy Collection for the Nintendo 3DS is the perfect way of enjoying six of the greatest games of all times. The extra content that is included in this compilation makes is it a must have for everyone.

At the end of the day, MLB The Show 22 doesn´t bring much to the table in terms of innovation, but when it comes to gameplay and game modes, that's where it really shines. Fans of the franchise will find a lot to love over here, and newcomers won't have too much trouble learning the game thanks to all the amazing accesibility options. The newest entry in the beloved baseball franchise is basically more of the same, but better.

An excellent product for the TV show’s enthusiasts. If you don’t know the material, you could end up being confused and facing tons of spoilers.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is a decent installment of the franchise, the return that perhaps classic fans of the franchise were looking for, given that it doesn't take much risk in terms of mechanics. Certainly, this part is not negative, after all it is fun to play, especially if done in company.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney a great remastered version of the original DS title and offers some few but great additions that make it feel like a more full package. That said and aside from the obvious graphic improvement the game is, for better or worse, the same title that many remember from 10 years ago.

Need for Speed: Unbound represents the return of Criterion as a top tier developer. The result is one of the best arcade racing games of the last few years and also, a great Need for Speed experience.

Back 4 Blood lacks the personality and charisma of the Left 4 Dead franchise, but at the same time, it also introduces some quality of life changes that make this game blast to play with friends. However, playing alone feels unrewarding because of the lack of progression.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is such a great return for the beloved series. Acquire understood what makes this king of games so special and also, found elements to make them better. Nintendo having another extraordinary year.

Ultimate Marvel vs.Capcom 3 is just a mere port of the game that we already played on PS3 and Xbox 360. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Unless you were expecting a drastic revamp from the original title (which would be something silly), you will get the same frantic and agile gameplay that many are still enjoying nowadays.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is a good evolution to the classic formula that give us hours of endless score attack fun. Even all its changes are modest compared with Championship Edition DX, is good to have again the frantic and fast gameplay that we love of the series in a well presented arcade style game.

The big questions are: was Donkey Kong Country Returns HD necessary? Who would we recommend it to and who wouldn’t we? Well, considering that its previous versions simply don’t fit today’s standards anymore, I think it’s a good thing to have such an outstanding game on the comfort of a Switch, that doesn’t mean that we’re already talking about its third version. It’s a very easy recommendation for those who have never played it. If that’s your case, it should be among your priorities, yes, it’s that good. Things get complicated if you were able to play it on Wii, 3DS or both, since you’ll be receiving practically the same product. I never like to bring up the subject of price in these reviews, but I think it does play an important role here. Probably if it weren’t selling for the $60 it will be at launch, it would be a lot easier to tell you to go for it.

With excellence on its gameplay, Street Fighter V is a positive step for the franchise. Unfortunately, it’s afflicted with some of the worst practices in the contemporary video games industry.

It doesn’t matter if you novice gamer or a hardcore fan, the game has many things that will engage you and make you enjoy it.

It is great to be back in Forza Horizon 5, but Rally Adventure fell short to meet expectations because a clearly lack of personality. It is not bad as an expansion, but is not great.

Mouse: P.I. for Hire isn't a Game of the Year contender, but it's definitely a game that will be on many must-play lists in 2026. It's a highly entertaining title that, despite its lack of originality, will surely resonate with many players. Like Jack Pepper, something's missing, and I hope a potential sequel will solve this case.

While Hell is Us is fairly inconsistent, when it shines, it does so in a grand way. Its ambition is ultimately its greatest enemy. If the story were focused on a single conflict, and if the combat were more direct, it would be a hidden gem in 2025. The end result is something that will likely be forgotten this year, but with a little luck, it can be remembered in an interesting way in the future.

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite is not a bad game by any means; actually it's a really entertaining title with interesting and solid gameplay mechanics, a balanced roster of characters and a fair ammount of game modes. It is sad that all of this gets tarnished by some hideous flaws like its story mode, questionable character design and the inexpressible removal of key characters and mechanics that were basic to the series.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a simple, but very well remastered of a pretty great RPG originally launched on the Wii.

In a few words, if you have the idea that Digimon Survive will have frantic encounters one after another, let me tell you that it is probably not going to meet your expectations.

The fifth episode of Game of Thrones includes all of the elements that we love in the novels from George R.R. Martin and the HBO TV series. It has an interesting story, bloody battles and sticky situations. We're near the end of the season and it looks like we'll have an epic ending.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a traditional game of this franchise, but it introduces sombre great new gameplay ideas like the combat in Jackals. A great experience the doesn't deserve all the hate that it is receiving.
