While there’s clearly an issue with preservation, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is still a great package, one that those who grew up with the GameCube and PlayStation 2 titles likely won’t appreciate much, but everyone who got into the series with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is sure to love, and hopefully, it will lead to a whole new installment.

FBC: Firebreak feels like a playable first draft of something that could grow over time. Its foundation is solid: the setting is strong, the co-op mechanics work, and the institutional-paranormal tone remains captivating, but it needs more content, depth, and emotional connection.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a game different enough for those who enjoyed the 2019 installment to admire the evolution that Kojima Productions presents this time around. However, those who didn't connect with the PS4 title will hardly be convinced by what the sequel has in store for us, and that's okay. As spectacular as this game is, it will still divide the community and, like any good work of art, will spark conversations of all kinds. Hideo Kojima has done it once: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is one of the best experiences of the current generation, and something that defines video games as more than just entertainment. It's a message for today's world, a love letter to the medium, and an exploration of our capacity to lend a helping hand to someone in need.

While some of the improvements and changes that Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army introduces to its gameplay make combat simpler than it should be, leaving aside some of the characteristic elements of the original installment and the Megami Tensei series, it is also true that many of its changes are positive, since they make the experience more accessible to today's audiences.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a great experience. The original was phenomenal, and everything the remaster adds and changes usually works in its favor. Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is the best way to experience the 3DS classic today, and a spectacular Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. I just hope this means Bravely Second will get the same treatment, or that Bravely Third is even in development.

What I'm trying to say is that if you have the slightest interest in all the technical aspects of how a modern video game console works, you should have this software among your priorities. The same is true if you're especially enthusiastic about everything related to Nintendo itself.

Mario Kart World kicks off the Switch 2 in a practically flawless way, presenting an experience that not only showcases several of the new hardware's capabilities but also revolutionizes the very traditional way of doing things within the series it represents. While the open world wasn't exactly what we expected, the core of the racing experience is one of the most polished and well-executed projects in the company's history. The achievements in control, mechanics, level design, and audiovisual presentation set a new standard that we believe none of its competitors will come close to matching. The king of karting is back.

If you've tried the 3DS version, I'd say don't wait any longer and pick it up on any of the platforms where it's available, as you're likely to get hooked on its fantastic simplicity. Meanwhile, if you didn't get to play the first one, but this kind of RPG is more your thing, I also recommend it. I swear you'll become a fan.

While F1 25 doesn't represent a revolution within the franchise, it does consolidate and refine key elements, ensuring that fans of the series enjoy a more polished and immersive experience.

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.

It's clear that Capcom wants to pave the way for the next title in the franchise, and it wouldn't be so far-fetched to see a third installment at some point follow suit. While there's no real connection between the protagonists, their goal is to eradicate Oda Nobunaga once and for all.

The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 does its job, breathing new life into eight great games that some have forgotten, and many more have never experienced. While there's room for improvement in the collection's presentation and content, fans will have a blast enjoying and rediscovering these classics.

There's no doubt about it, DOOM: The Dark Ages is one of the best games of the year, one of the best FPSs of the generation, and an experience you absolutely have to play. Completely ignoring this title is blasphemy you shouldn't commit.

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.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 feels like a real next step for modern RPG games. Sandfall has achieved something truly special.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a decent fighting game that's sure to stir the nostalgia of many, since, as mentioned at the beginning of the review, it's been 25 years since we've had a new installment. But thinking it can compete with its rivals might be difficult, despite having KOF people involved in its development.

South of Midnight is a good experience, and that's it. Nothing memorable about it, and even its positive aspects fall short of the standards many are accustomed to. In an industry constantly striving to be exceptional and driven by the desire to become the next big thing, Compulsion Games rejects any pretense of doing so, and it's admirable that they're taking this path, but at the same time, the lack of ambition leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. South of Midnight isn't bad, but it's hard to think of anything that makes it interesting.

For fans of the franchise, it's not bad at all, but if anyone wants to get into Bleach through this product, I'd honestly recommend watching the anime on streaming platforms instead. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but it's not aimed at the newer audience who just wants to have a good time with a fighting game.

One of the major additions is the Diamond Quest mode, which is available as a section within Diamond Dynasty mode and appeals to rogue-like experiences, making it an addition that has every chance of remaining as a permanent mode in future installments and could even set a standard in sports video games. In parallel, technical and gameplay improvements such as the Ambush Hitting system and defensive upgrades add a layer of realism and strategy that deepens the gaming experience.

WWE 2K25 is a good wrestling game and, to some extent, the best wrestling title currently available. If you're a fan of wrestling, or wrestling in general, you'll enjoy this title.

While Assassin's Creed: Shadows won't be the salvation Ubisoft is hoping for, it's still a fun experience and one of the greatest games in the series in recent years, and that's what should matter at the end of the day. With nearly 60 hours of gameplay under my belt, I'm going to keep playing because this is an entertaining title that doesn't deserve to be the flop many expect, but it's not going to revolutionize the genre either.

The best Wii U port to Nintendo Switch, as they not only brought the adventure over intact, but also took the time to consider those who had already played it and wanted a more polished product. This includes graphical improvements, quality of life tweaks, and the inclusion of additional story content.

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune & Dunan Unification Wars is by no means perfect, as we've already explained throughout this review, however, it is a work that was undoubtedly done with taste and passion, fulfilling the complicated mission of bringing back these two RPGs of yesteryear. Who do we recommend it to? Well, I think that if you are a fan of this series, you will be more than happy with what is presented to us this time. I would also say that if you have never given it a chance, this is a truly unbeatable one, because in addition to the fact that you will be playing two brilliant representatives of this great genre, you will be able to feel again how special it was to enjoy any Konami production when the brand was at its best.

Split Fiction is a game that tries to advance the studio’s formula while retaining the dynamism that made It Takes Two special, which it achieves by creating mechanics that are easy to understand and complex level design, but without forgetting the crazy ideas that are used in specific moments to make players laugh or give them a creative break. Although a deeper understanding of video games is necessary, everyone can appreciate what Hazelight Studios and Josef Fares have created, because, above all, Split Fiction is pure fun, and something that cannot be ignored this year.

If you want to complete 16 legendary installmentsof the Yugi saga, this is your opportunity to review its history and learn why it became a mass success. Also, if Konami sees interest in sales, they may now want to move to the PlayStation era.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the best game in the series. While some fans may debate this, it's undeniable that the developers have created an experience that is accessible and retains the essence of the franchise. Its story, to the surprise of many, is captivating, and it's more than just an excuse to go out and hunt monsters, as it presents us with a specific journey with well-defined characters. Each encounter has a great weight in this adventure and you never feel like you're wasting your time. The progression is fantastic, and it's something I hope will be a constant in the future.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii isn't a perfect game, and I'd even say it falls short of Gaiden as a spin-off. Still, this is an experience that will delight all fans, especially those who have been waiting for a Majima-led adventure for a long time. However, if you're hoping for the next big chapter in the series, and a resolution to Kiryu and Ichiban's problems with the yakuza in Japan, you won't find that here. Instead, you'll find an adventure that reminds us that dreaming is the greatest treasure in this treasure chest we call life.

Over the years, Obsidian Entertainment has been known for delivering some of the best experiences the medium has to offer, and with Avowed they have proven that they are still capable of doing just that. The story, while it has a couple of points that need to be fulfilled, offers enough freedom for the player to be able to create their own adventure, achieving a unique experience compared to others. The journey of the Envoy is entertaining, and the characters we meet along the way are memorable, to the point that surely more than one person will identify with Kai, Marius, Giatta or Yatzli.
