Nioh is impressive in a lot of ways offering us beautiful challenging levels and a deep customizable experience. Even with the comparisions with Souls franchise, Nioh is a tremendous fun title full of personality, Team Ninja developed a memorable game with a brilliant combat system and solid gameplay mechanics.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a very complete title, as it has a large number of missions to complete, tasks to discover and two maps that make the first installment fall short. Add to that a challenging difficulty that may be to the liking of those who demand a lot from these games.

DMC5 is not perfect and has faults that keep it from being a memorable title as it has constant loading screens, problems with its camera and a modest variety of content in terms of replay. But outside of these, we have no doubt that it is a great action title that has everything to be among the best of the year.

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is a major expansion that may not be completely necessary to fully enjoy the game. Still, it adds a whole bunch of content and fills some plot holes that were left unsolved in the original game.

Persona 3 Reload is the game that all fans of the series have been waiting for since Persona 5 Royal. Thanks to all its mechanics, improvements and narrative, this is the perfect entry point for the series. For those who have never experienced a game in the franchise beyond the fifth installment, this is the title you need in your lives. This experience presents us with a story focused on finding the beauty in our lives, in memories, and the meaning we give to each interaction with other people. Along with this, each of the small vignettes are very worthwhile, since they reinforce the messages of the main campaign, and offer a series of moments with a good range of emotions.

XCOM 2 expands all the great gameplay mechanics that we enjoyed in past games of the series. All kinds of emotions await you in this great tactical game about making hard decisions. No major problems with the console version, a few framerate issues and maybe longer loading times but nothing that really hurts the core experience.

Injustice 2 is a great sequel for Gods Among Us. NetherRealm Studios took a pretty safe road with this title in terms of gameplay mechanics, but the little changes they made work perfectly. A great story, good loot box system and a solid multiplayer, make this experience worthwhile.

The Witness gathers an incredible amount of puzzles scattered in an open world that many times surpasses the boundaries of the video game. Even though it's not as climatic as its predecessor, it respects the player as an intelligent being.

An awesome combat system that doesn't achieve it's full potential thanks to procedural generated levels.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is proof that although we can have great projects with very high production values, innocence still has a place in this medium full of magic.

After 2 years and many additions and changes, Capcom finally sends us a new version of Street Fighter V, one that includes all the content that has been launching for the title since it came out to market on 2016 as well as some new and well acclaimed additions that makes this feel like the real game that should had launched from the beginning.

Astral Chain is the next step in the hack & slash genre. PlatinumGames created a true masterpiece that everyone should play. Another epic addition for the Nintendo Switch's exclusives library.

A great new entry for a cult classic. Guilty Gear Strive is one the most impressive games in terms of graphics that you can found out there. Also, it is a pretty solid fighting game.

Just as it was in 2021, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is positioned as a must-see game, and something that JRPG fans have to play no matter what, even in a year where this genre has not stopped giving us some of its best modern exponents.

Quotation forthcoming.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is one of the best games of the year. There's no doubt about it. Lizardcube are geniuses, and they've proven that any SEGA franchise has the potential to make a spectacular comeback, as long as it's in their hands. So, the only question remains: when will they give Golden Axe the same treatment?

Pikmin 4 is simply a brilliant game that has far exceeded all my expectations. Its impressive level design, refined core gameplay, enchanting story, and extremely sophisticated audiovisual presentation make it a game that is very hard not to enjoy and one that can hardly be found with serious errors. Nintendo and the team that Miyamoto left in charge of his highly prized creation, understood perfectly what makes the series so special and in a way that I frankly don't understand, they found clear areas for improvement and innovation to deliver a well-rounded experience.

Final Fantasy XVI is not only one of the best games of the year, it is one of the best role-playing titles made in Japan in a long time and, therefore, one of the most important exponents of the legendary franchise to which it belongs, thanks to to great production values and clear ideas that kept its development cycle on the right path, a matter that of course, leads to a tremendously solid video game that, despite not being perfect, undoubtedly has virtues that strongly outweigh its defects.

Sony is delivering just what was promised. No more no less. It will be up to each person to decide whether to support or not.

PlayStation consoles are receiving a new and very successful exclusive that only comes to reaffirm the intense and very strong sense of identity that has been forged for so many years.

Bean Dreams delivers a solid experience that continues with the success of the first game. However, it doesn’t push the concept forward, only following the pillars of the original work.

There's no denying that these are two must-haves within the Mario world, but they can feel like a weak effort due to the lack of truly compelling new content. Of course, collectors won't think twice and will immediately buy the physical version; after all, many of us are loyal to Nintendo.

An epic return of one of the most important video games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is a classic that everyone should play.

Batman Arkham Knight is the best entry in the series. Rocksteady knows perfectly how to explode the formula established years ago, making amazing additions in terms of gameplay. You must play this game.

What a pleasure to finally see a Spider Man game that manages to make us feel very powerful, like a superhero and better yet worthy of the popularity and legacy of this iconic character.

Okami is one of those games that will always be a delight to play from start to finish everytime it comes up. Even though the only strength this version has with respect to its previous counterparts is its increased resolution. It still offers an incredible story with fantastic gameplay mechanics and gorgeous visuals that are worth to experience. Fans who loved the original game would be amazed to replay it once again and newcomers will understand the reasons why this is considered one of the bests games in Capcom's library.

Quotation forthcoming.

Saros is brilliant from every angle, even if it isn’t the bold, risk-taking, and highly innovative bet that Returnal once was. Its highly sophisticated gameplay fits perfectly with a beautiful level design and its entire roguelite structure. On top of that, it presents one of the most visually and audibly impressive titles you can currently find on PS5—without even mentioning its deeply crafted science fiction story that keeps you engaged throughout a surprisingly long runtime. Yes, we’re looking at one of those games that will undoubtedly appear on “best of the year” lists, and it could even earn a spot among those competing for Game of the Year.
