Building on all of Zero Dawn's impressive achievements, Horizon Forbidden West feels like a natural evolution of the formula, featuring a sophisticated combat system, impressive variety of enemies, hundreds of activities to do, a gripping story that shines through its lore and characters, visual section of true next generation and a world much more explorable and free than that of its predecessor, which due to certain design compromises, perhaps makes the exploration more systematic than we would have liked. In any case, Guerrilla Games is delivering a game that lives up to the enormous expectations that were held and, therefore, a clear candidate to become Game of the Year.

OlliOlli World is an extremely fun experience that showcases Roll7's passion for skating. The game is spectacular and shows that this extreme sport still has room in the industry.

Dying Light 2 is a fantastic title that manages to improve almost every aspect of the original game. It is one of the most ambitious and beautiful open world games I have ever played, and if you were a fan of the first game, then you should definitely give this one a try.

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.

Rainbow Six Extraction manages to create some unique and interesting concepts, but most of the time it often feels like another generic shooter. This new spinoff just doesn't have anything that makes it stand out from most shooter out there, and I beleive even Siege players won't even be interested in this game for too long.

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.

I am very happy to tell you that Halo: Infinite is the Halo that we have been waiting for and that shows that indeed, 343 Industries is the indicated study to continue with the Master Chief legacy and that most likely, this new formula that integrates an open world in campaign, be the way to go for future installments. While the way his story is told is unfriendly to newcomers, I would tell you that you will still find a great FPS in case you never gave John 117 a chance, and if you are one of the old veterans Well, fasten your seatbelt well, an authentic journey full of emotions awaits you that will surely return you to the most memorable moments of this super iconic franchise. Xbox is Halo and Halo is Xbox.

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.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes that stick closely to the original works, which turns out to be their worst mistake.

Battlefield 2042 is a solid shooter that sadly suffers from a lot of technical problems, including bugs, glitches and a lot of visual inconsistencies. It's a game that has a lot of potential and offers a fun & team-oriented experience, but at the same time it lacks some key futures that, for no apparent reason, just don't exist. It's a hard game to recommend at the moment, but hopefully it will get better with time.

Despite the complaints and all, the reality is that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a pretty good remastered of three great PS2 classics. Something important to understand is that this are just remastered with few changes, not remakes.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is another strong entry for the franchise. It offers a lackluster campaign, but makes up for it with a frenetic and fun multiplayer experience. It doesn't bring anything new to the table in the FPS genre, but many of its elements definitely feel like an evolution for the franchise.

Riders Republic is an extremely fun game that will definitely please the fans of this sports. And even as a casual gamer, this title offers plenty of accessibility options that make it a very welcoming experience for newcomers.

Following to the letter its own formula in terms of gameplay, controls, structure and open world design, Forza Horizon 5 becomes the new pinnacle of the franchise due to the special way that it transports us to the beautiful Mexican landscapes, taking harnessing all the power of the Xbox Series X to become one of the first games of this new generation that undoubtedly feels like a new generation.
