    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
    The franchise returns bigger and renewed after 13 long years without a full-fledged entry on a main console. While the creation systems across every aspect of the game, along with the different interactions between Miis, are more than funny, what keeps it from fully reaching the finish line is the lack of an easy, official way to share our creations without having to rely on third-party websites.

    Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
    The franchise is celebrating, and one of the best gifts for fans is this new installment. High difficulty, frustration, achievements, powers, story, friendships, betrayals—it has it all. While the character progression system feels a bit limited and could offer more freedom when customizing our ninjas, you quickly forget about that thanks to its challenging nature and short but intense length.

    Dying Light: The Beast
    The return of Crane with the new gameplay mechanic that lends its name to the game is exactly what the franchise needed. In a post-apocalyptic world full of blood and gore, the beast can finally be unleashed to do as it pleases. Techland understood its audience and delivered directly to them, with clever nods, an improved RPG system, more entertaining animations to execute, and a story that may be simple but ties the package together—making this the best Dying Light entry to date.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
    Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition may not offer the best gameplay experience, but it still stands as an interesting option thanks to its portable mode, controller integration, and current technical performance. This time around, CD Projekt RED did its homework.

    Stellar Blade
    The PC port of Stellar Blade is the best version to play. Graphically and technically, it improves upon everything seen on PlayStation 5. While running it at max settings and in 4K requires a high-end PC, it’s undeniable that the game looks better than ever, and Shift Up’s optimization is excellent. If you're into third-person action RPGs, hack and slash titles, and appreciate the game’s artistic flair, Stellar Blade—despite not being flawless—is a highly recommended option that earns a rightful place at the table among the genre’s greats.

    Yakuza 0: Director's Cut
    Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut is the classic you already loved, now dressed in a fresh suit with a localization that’s genuinely appreciated. It feels like the definitive version because it runs like a dream and remains as brilliant as ever—even if the new scenes sometimes feel like they belong in a different game. But when you’re playing, the magic is absolutely real.

    Rematch
    While modern sports video games focus on realism and official licenses, Sloclap goes back to basics with Rematch, a football title that prioritizes gameplay above all else and distances itself from the pay-to-win model that has become common in the king of sports.

    despelote
    Sport is a universal language that stirs emotions and connects us to deep memories. In Despelote, we relive the childhood memories of one of its creators, as he witnessed his country being swept up in football fever during a time of profound socioeconomic restructuring.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4
    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 doesn’t try to reinvent anything—because it didn’t need to. Its goal is to capture the mood and nostalgia, and bring it into the present with better visuals and tighter gameplay. In that sense, it carries all the strengths of modern games and all the nostalgia of the past: it is what it is, and it doesn’t need to be anything more.

    Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
    The sheer scope and mechanics turn this sequel into one of the most enjoyable cozy games of the year. Between battles, resource gathering, and a simple yet rewarding story, our heroes’ journey becomes an addictive experience that’s hard to put down. With countless possibilities and a future DLC set to extend our stay, Level-5’s latest entry is a strong recommendation for those with the time to truly enjoy it.

    NBA 2K26
    NBA 2K26 remains the champion of basketball simulators in both content and quality. With no real competition in the market, it sometimes feels stuck in a comfort zone that keeps it from fully innovating. Still, the small changes introduced for 2026 make the experience noticeably better in many areas. Its only true rival remains the microtransactions, which limit a fair sense of progression for all players.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    This turn-based RPG combines the franchise’s trademark mechanical depth with creature-raising systems and ecosystem restoration. With an entertaining, if somewhat predictable, story, colorful characters, and visuals on par with the best anime-inspired games in the genre, it is aimed squarely at Monster Hunter fans and rewards them with hours upon hours of content. Its steep learning curve and slow pacing can feel overwhelming, but for those already familiar with the series, it stands as one of the best entries Capcom has delivered.

    The Outer Worlds 2
    Obsidian Entertainment—famous for Avowed, Pentiment, and the widely acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas—does it again, delivering an RPG as formidable as it is replayable. An instant classic for genre fans that will satisfy even the most demanding players. A chapter no choose-your-own-adventure enthusiast should miss under any circumstances.

    Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    This may be the definitive and most complete version of the story of the beloved John Marston. An award-winning 2010 Game of the Year returns with graphical improvements, portable play options, and a new mouse mode on the Nintendo Switch 2. It delivers strong technical stability, very satisfying resolution, and excellent load times. And while it still retains some of the original’s infamous bugs and NPC issues, it remains a highly enticing package that’s well worth revisiting.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows
    Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ port on Nintendo Switch 2 is, overall, a surprisingly impressive technical achievement, although it comes with the expected trade-offs of adapting a next-gen open world to hybrid hardware. If you prefer a better frame rate or more graphical “muscle” in terms of detail—and you have the option to play on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC—those remain, without question, the best choices. But if portability is your priority and you want the full Shadows experience in the palm of your hand, Switch 2 delivers a more than solid version.

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2
    It's a shame that such an incredible game like Spider-Man 2 is hampered at launch by technical issues. It's also regrettable that, considering it's a AAA title from a PlayStation studio, it isn't performing optimally upon release. Once everything is patched, the game will truly be worthwhile. With that said, Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly one of the most fun experiences you'll play on PC this year and the best superhero video game in a long time.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, besides being the definitive musou game based on The Legend of Zelda series, is an installment that fits perfectly within the narrative arc established by Tears of the Kingdom. It boasts a satisfying technical presentation, an art style that respects the original game, and, above all, a solid gameplay loop thanks to a considerable number of missions and battles filled with drama and action. While the experience can become repetitive after several hours, the option to play in cooperative mode on the Switch 2 helps maintain interest and provides a compelling conclusion to the Zelda story told thus far.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the least pretentious game you'll play this year. The gameplay is extremely varied as you alternate between sea-based activities and land exploration; it features the series' signature humor, and the exploration is highly enjoyable. However, its most noteworthy feature is its complete genuineness; it perfectly expresses the series' legacy and underlying message of honor, blending it with bizarre humor to create a unique tone.

    The Sims 4: Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack
    What makes this pack interesting is that its gameplay value increases the more expansions you own. While this might seem somewhat 'incomplete' to some, we believe it's crucial that new packs reshape how we engage with older content. Our favorite part is combining the gameplay elements from different packs. Sims 4 Businesses and Hobbies is a good expansion to purchase once you already own others and want to add a fresh twist to your overall gameplay.

    Deliver At All Costs
    The 10 hours of fun, humor, destruction, mystery, and 1950s American style are all the team at Studio Far Out Games needs to deliver an enjoyable experience for anyone. The story leads us to destruction, while the humor and missions bring us back down to earth as chaos slowly simmers behind the scenes before exploding in your face.

    Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars
    Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars represents the best way to experience the first two entries in the series. It maintains their classic retro atmosphere while incorporating quality-of-life improvements, offering an enhanced gameplay experience for veterans and modern players alike. These two installments are essential titles for any fan of the JRPG genre, especially for those who cherish the golden era of the original PlayStation.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows
    Assassin's Creed Shadows is a game that brings a fresh perspective to the series. With a strong gameplay, it fulfills its goals, and you can enjoy this adventure for more than 30 hours. It's a plus that you can play this title more than once, and there are lots of exploration and items to discover. Shadows tells a story with a good dose of drama and a remarkable portrayal of this particular period in Japan.

    Asylum
    Asylum is an indie game that offers a cinematographic experience. It will make you think about everything that happens throughout your passage through Hanwll. Beware that it is not a traditional game, so if you are looking for a classic horror story you may be disappointed. But it is something new that definitely deserves to be experienced.

    Ninja Gaiden 4
    Ninja Gaiden 4 marks an exhilarating return to one of the most iconic hack & slash sagas—one that has inspired countless successors. Despite retaining some of its old habits and featuring an explicitly linear level design, this new installment delivers a decisive katana strike straight onto the list of the best action games of 2025.

    South of Midnight
    South of Midnight offers a singularly unique visual and thematic experience. Its stop-motion artistry and Southern Gothic atmosphere, alongside its magical combat, truly make it stand out. Compulsion Games delivers a captivating and innovative action-adventure reminiscent of American McGee. While some of its gameplay mechanics might feel rooted in a previous era, the adventure itself remains a compelling experience that is well worth visiting.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice
    It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or reach masterpiece status, but if you’re into battle arena games—if you really make the most of each of the modes mentioned and take into account the huge base roster of characters—you’ll undoubtedly find countless hours of fun here. And whether you’re a fan of the franchise or not, visually you’re looking at one of the most stunning anime-styled games ever made.

    Digimon Story Time Stranger
    Digimon Story: Time Stranger is ambitious within the core of the saga. It aims to expand the combat experience with multiple gameplay layers, supported by a story that pushes mystery and exploration to the forefront, all while encouraging players to collect nearly 450 Digital Monsters. Highly appealing for longtime fans, and though not flawless, it proves just how much the series has matured over the years.

    inZOI
    InZOI had a strong start in its Early Access, but it will need to fight to stay relevant once the initial novelty wears off. For now, it feels like there's more style than substance. The game needs to develop a unique value proposition and move beyond comparisons to The Sims. While both share a similar philosophy, their approaches are fundamentally different. We don’t believe InZOI is “the Sims killer” — at least not yet — but we also don’t think it needs to be. The way the game was launched feels like a smart move, as maintaining a close relationship with the community will be key to its future. It’s on the right path, but there’s still a long road ahead. [Early Access Score = 60]

    Grounded 2
    With a major visual upgrade, improved gameplay quality, and a much better-paced story, this miniature adventure is everything we needed from Obsidian in a sequel that far surpasses its predecessor. Spiders, scorpions, cockroaches, and praying mantises may go unnoticed in everyday life, but when you're the size of a pill bug, they become the worst threats you could ever face. [Early Access Score = 90]
