Split Fiction is a masterpiece of creativity, capable of utilizing a single power in countless ways to make the experience as frenetic as it is entertaining. It evokes a sensation similar to Astro Bot, as it stands as a true love letter to video games. Josef Fares has done it again—an achievement that seemed impossible after reaching new heights with It Takes Two.

It's skillful, fun, entertaining, easy to understand, and very easy to enjoy. It's a perfect game for all ages, whether you're looking to embrace collecting or simply advance toward the center of the world. It's a classic from the moment it was first launched, thanks to its mechanics, universe, and gameplay. And it sets a new long-term standard for the genre.

This game is still as good as the first day in terms of storytelling and gameplay, but it looks better than ever. The smoothness while playing it at a higher frame rate and quality makes it look much better than most recent games.

Borderlands 4 is a triumphant return in terms of gameplay and artistry, but it is somewhat marred by a few technical issues. The story is an improvement on the third installment, the gameplay reaches heights never before seen in the franchise, and the visuals are impressive. Gearbox has the shooter-looter experience down pat, and here it shines brighter than ever.

A silent gem. A tribute to soccer, yes, but above all to childhood, community and memory. Of course, it is not a game for everyone, as it requires patience, sensitivity and a willingness to be carried away by nostalgia, but whoever connects with its proposal will find one of the most moving experiences of the year. For those of us who believe that videogames can be art, Despelote is a confirmation. And a celebration.

Pokémon Pokopia is the skeleton of Dragon Quest Builders fused with the heartbeat of Ash Ketchum—a cozy-inked heart where everything becomes a unique, timeless veneer for the saga that’s here to stay.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is not a revolution compared to its predecessor, but it is a very coherent evolution, which polishes its mechanics to the maximum, deepens its message and dares to show the cracks in its own philosophy. It is true that there is not much innovation or surprise and we did not expect that from Kojima, and this is a major drawback in a game like this. But the bar was set so high because of Kojima himself.

Resident Evil: Requiem is, above all, a love letter to the saga. That Resident Evil 2 that left its mark on us still beats beneath its surface, but now accompanied by a gameplay maturity that only a franchise with thirty years of history can offer. We liked it a lot. We’ve suffered, we’ve managed resources to the limit, we’ve unloaded shotguns with pent-up rage, and we’ve felt that delicious tension that only Resident Evil knows how to create.

Dispatch is the phoenix rising from what once was Telltale, now flying with far greater depth. An episodic comedy grounded in rich storytelling — funny, bloody, emotional, and featuring an outstanding script and an unbeatable cast.

Hazelight Studios has made a conscious adaptation to the strengths and limitations of Nintendo's new hardware, keeping the heart of the game intact while optimizing the experience for the console's own portability and connectivity.

Monster Hunter Wilds stands as the most user-friendly release in a legendary saga. Its new features turn every fight into a spectacular show without diminishing the relevance of previous titles such as World or Rise. I consider Wilds a masterfully crafted progression and a clear demonstration of the great talent in Capcom's current team.

ARC Raiders is fabulous news for the extraction shooter genre, an emotionally, socially, and mechanically innovative offering. Although it has aspects that need polishing—such as unbalanced matchmaking and limited content—its ability to generate unique stories, its surprisingly supportive community, and its unforgettable setting make it an unexpected gem. It's a game that reminds us that even in the most hostile genres, there is still room for empathy and cooperation.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a coat of the finest varnish to refine a masterpiece, applied with a fine brush that some may find insufficient. Not because it allows us to savor one of the best games from that bygone era once again, but because the experience leaves us wanting more.

Blue Prince is captivating, inspiring, and near-impossible to replicate. It’s a perfect fit for Switch 2, delivering a compelling gameplay loop and a high-stakes narrative that carries the hallmarks of an instant classic.

This medieval RPG traps you in its endless side quests and you don't know when it will let you go. Realism, variety and total freedom to discover and feel yourself in the medieval era, with an epic dubbing in Spanish. One of the great games of 2025, no doubt.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance is a real treat for lovers of arcade games and new genres. A masterpiece on every level. A classic arcade game that embraces the Metroidvania genre to evolve and become something much bigger and more challenging.

Absolum is a hilarious beat 'em up roguelike that has managed to blend these two genres perfectly and is destined to set the standard with its solid combat system. If I had to find fault with it, it would be the lack of more scenarios and perhaps a greater variety of item upgrades.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition represents Monolith's crowning achievement in pushing the limits of the Switch, delivering the ultimate space opera experience. Every change made is a marked improvement, and its soundtrack remains timeless.

Lumines Arise is a motivation buff, an anchor that effectively links the gameplay experience to the soundtrack creating a feedback loop for every single run. Every process of change is key to the chaos and the intangibles of the game. That conversion of blocks into special effects maximizes the visual power of everything necessary to embrace this new Tetris Effect.

Mario Kart World could define an era for all types of gamers. It hooks the most casual player while simultaneously appealing to the competitive shredder, to the friend group, and to the family. This flexibility for all kinds of players is a message tied to the longevity and replayability of the game, the console, and the marketing strategy behind a blockbuster hit. It's a success in its concept, but even more so with a Switch 2 in hand.

Nioh 3 delivers arguably one of the finest combat systems in gaming history; it's a sheer masterclass in addictive gameplay that will absolutely captivate Souls-like fans looking for their next high-octane fix.

Ball x Pit is an ideal time sink that perfectly transforms replayability into a competitive high-score rivalry, a compelling personal challenge, or a relaxing afternoon session. It's functional, perfect for quick bursts of play, leaves you consistently craving.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a masterpiece. It brings real heart, delivers immersive combat, and nails one of the most satisfying exploration loops in a vast universe—where rediscovering your Monsties is just the beginning.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a playable homage to two of the most beloved titles in virtual skateboarding. Its gameplay remains a work of arcade engineering, its visuals are solid and its content is plentiful. However, the structural changes in Career mode, especially in THPS 4, and the incomplete soundtrack, make the result not as rounded as its predecessor. Even so, it is an essential game for any lover of the saga or the genre.

PRAGMATA is a smart and refreshing take on the third-person shooter formula. Its hacking-based combat system creates a fast-paced loop of strategic decisions that becomes highly satisfying once mastered. While level design feels functional rather than inspired, the strong bond between Hugh and Diana, alongside solid technical performance, makes for a compact and memorable experience with a distinct identity.

If you are a lover of horror games, impossible puzzles, and pixel art, Enigma of Fear will undoubtedly make you fall in love. A delicious mix between video game and role-playing game of all life, of paper and pencil.

Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland is not just a game. It is a love letter, a language class, a magical adventure, and a memory capsule made with pixels and heart. An indie gem with a Brazilian heart, capable of moving us, teaching us, and reminding us why we love videogames.

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut combines an intense story with a fast pace and a great sense of humor, making it very fun to play. Its compact open world and style-based combat make it straightforward and accessible. A solid remaster and a great entry point into the saga.

After many years of waiting and entertaining games that did not shine, Assassin's Creed Shadows rises to the level of the best games in the series.

Ultimately, Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse stands as one of the most compelling narrative offerings I’ve played in recent years, a tightly crafted story anchored by believable, well-realized characters, clever puzzle design, and a superb sense of pacing that keeps you locked in from start to finish.

Death Howl is a very interesting game that deals with loss and the difficulties of coping with it, but it is important to note that it is not intended for a general audience. It is demanding, so only patient players and those who love tactics and deck building will truly appreciate it for what it is: a very bright gem with sharp edges.

Promise Mascot Agency is a weird, absurd and brilliant gem that captures the essence of the best of Japanese indie. It's hard to compare it to anything: it's a strange mix of visual novel, business simulator, light RPG and black comedy. It's as clever as it is irreverent, and as funny as it is baffling. Of course, it's not a game for everyone.

If you're into Danganronpa-style flair, over-the-top storytelling, and tactical combat, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is a hidden gem. While it leans heavily on manga clichés and outdated gender tropes, the narrative still delivers powerful themes, emotional moments, and a surprisingly solid experience overall.

All together, it makes for a very solid and fun combat system that any role-playing fan will appreciate. The fact that it works so well is what allows it to maintain its high density, since we're talking about a game that won't reach the credits until we've surpassed the 70-90 hour mark, depending on how quickly we progress—more so in my case, because I tend to take things slowly. There is a lot of content, side missions, and characters to unlock, both during the main storyline and optionally, as well as secondary bosses and items to find or purchase.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon is one of the franchise's greatest milestones. An ambitious, complex JRPG that is deeply satisfying for those who have followed the saga for years. It is not accessible, nor does it claim to be, and therein lies part of its identity. It may not be the best entry point, but it is one of the most memorable journeys Zemuria has offered us so far.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster refreshes the experience on Switch 2, though graphically it doesn't quite bring out the console's potential.

The Drifter is much more than a classic style adventure game. It is one of the best psychological thrillers of recent years. Giving us a powerful and intense narrative that never lets go, accompanied by a visual and sound style polished to perfection. And a plot twist that will make you throw your hands to your head.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a triumphant return to 2D for the series, a tribute to its origins, and proof that The Game Kitchen can handle a license with this much historical weight without losing its signature style. It's fast, challenging, varied, and visually stunning. A great side-scrolling action game with well-designed mechanics.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is not only a prequel, it is a brave reinvention. In a scenario where the big franchises tend to repeat formulas, here we have a game that mixes the classic flavor of the first DOOM with a modern, epic and brutal structure. It is an ode to excess, metal, blood and intelligent gameplay. A title that will surely mark 2025.

The real strength of The Alters lies in experiencing the game through the eyes of each clone. The personal narratives of the alters and the dynamics of group control form the most compelling aspect of this unique blend of management, exploration, and base-building. While survival drives the core gameplay, it's the emotional depth and interpersonal tension within the base that truly set it apart.

Reanimal transforms a labyrinthine journey into a symbolic escape, packed with environmental puzzles and stealth sequences, all set against a hauntingly majestic backdrop that oozes cinematic flair and environmental storytelling.

Battlefield 6 delivers a standout multiplayer experience for EA’s iconic franchise. Classic and new modes offer thrilling battles, while tactical gadgets define class roles and strategy. Destructible environments are spectacular, movement feels controlled, and the campaign supports gameplay practice. Portal will arrive shortly after launch, adding even more creative multiplayer possibilities.

A brilliant example of how to meaningfully re-release a title. Not only do we have a fabulous technical upgrade, but also a juicy expansion that significantly enriches the original experience without breaking its essence. For Kirby fans, it's a must-buy. For those who didn't play the original, this is undoubtedly the best way to experience it.

MGS3 was already a great game, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is too, for obvious reasons. A sensational spy movie. A total survival and stealth experience. The almost perfect remake of the best game in the series. It's a shame that Konami didn't want to take a risk by improving mechanics that have become obsolete.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 establishes itself as one of the most balanced and complete entries in the series, refining a formula that already worked without the need for major changes. Its combat is more solid and satisfying, the narrative gains intensity, and the technical leap brought by the use of the Dragon Engine is noticeable from the very first moment. On Nintendo Switch 2, despite the 30 frames-per-second cap and the occasional stutter in handheld mode, the experience is stable and very enjoyable, further supported by the near total absence of loading times. A continuation title in the best sense of the word—coherent, recognizable, and with a presentation that reinforces the identity of the series—confirming that Kiryu’s arrival on Nintendo’s console is a firm, long-term commitment.

Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined is the definitive version that no one expected but that we really needed. It's more fun than ever, with an extensive storyline full of memorable moments, a polished and addictive combat system, lots to discover, and all without forgetting the magic of its music and artwork that is both classic and modern at the same time. Everything about this game is charming, nostalgic, and lovingly crafted.

Cairn is a demanding, tense, and deeply personal climb. A game that turns mechanics into narrative and effort into emotion. It isn’t comfortable, it isn’t kind, but it is honest and brave. Like the mountain it asks you to conquer.

It's a title that demands time, attention, and respect. And if you're willing to give it that, it rewards you with something few modern shooters offer: genuine tension, unfiltered strategy, and a constant sense of real danger. It's not a pastime. It's a procedure. And one with consequences.

Honestly, I’m a bit surprised by how well this remastered version of Off holds up; considering how many games have incorporated its ideas, you would think a bit of its novelty might have worn off. Thankfully, it’s so singular, weird, and dense that its charms can’t be entirely copied. More than a decade and a half later, this RPG remains as haunting and enigmatic as ever.

Perhaps it's coffee for coffee lovers in some cases, but NBA 2K26, when it reaches a certain level, is exactly that. Much more than going straight to the basket or picking up the point guard to look for a pick n roll and finish the attack in three seconds. Meanwhile, the model remains the same: the game gives its players many options but always redirects them to online play with a package of expenses necessary to stay up to date.

Playing PEAK is a reminder of why we play games. Not to save the world as the latest hunky hero chosen by a sexy priestess, but to laugh at our downfalls, share moments with our friends, and build memories that last. PEAK isn't the deepest or most polished game, but it is one of the most honestly fun games we've played this year.

Laika is an intense and challenging experience that is also unique in its kind. Its original mix of mechanics, its level design, its great artwork and its intense narrative are an explosive cocktail worth tasting. But it is true that it is not a game for everyone, as its controls are not at all sympathetic to the average player.

Silent Hill F leaves you with mixed feelings, as it clearly has two distinct halves. A brilliant and terrifying first half, and a second half with too much action that becomes overly tiresome. And although it ends up straying from the franchise experience, the real problem is that you find yourself wishing it would end.

In an era where the roguelite genre is somewhat burned out, The Rogue Prince of Persia has proven that with love and care, it can still stand out. A 1.0 release that represents a major evolution of the game from how we knew it a year ago.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is one of those surprises that reminds us why we love video games. It’s crafted with such passion and style that it’s impossible not to enjoy it. Its combination of unique aesthetics, solid gameplay, and steady pace make it a highly recommended experience. A one-of-a-kind boomer shooter that puts a smile on your face while you grit your teeth to get through its fun shoot-’em-up sections.

Confirmation that the series still has a lot to offer in the arcade racing genre. They have managed to enhance everything that characterized the hedgehog racing series, and they have done so with the expertise of a studio specializing in arcade racing. It may not dethrone Super Mario, but Sonic behind the wheel again is pure arcade fun and works perfectly. Sonic and his friends are back racing at full speed, and this time they're doing it in what is possibly their best car yet.

Just Dance 2026 Edition remains a safe bet for getting your body moving and sharing unforgettable moments. It's not revolutionary, nor does it claim to be, but it urgently needs a technical overhaul to bring it up to the standard its most loyal players deserve. Until then, we'll keep dancing... albeit with the occasional complaint.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a comeback with a capital C. We've seen how the series has embraced modern mechanics without sacrificing difficulty, edge, or the essence of the ninja who seeks to surpass himself. In many sections, the game is simply spectacular: fast-paced, fluid combat that's visually stunning. However, not everything is perfect: we miss a more developed narrative, certain transitional moments that don't break the rhythm so much, and Ryu Hayabusa playing a more central role. Platinum Games has come on strong, and the generational change makes sense.

Marathon is a challenging PvPvE shooter from Bungie that blends intense gunplay, class-based strategy, and loot-driven extraction. Each role feels unique, with distinct abilities and movement, making teamwork and inventory management crucial. The game rewards patience and planning, while its visual identity and lore add depth to the universe of Tau Ceti IV. Steep learning curves and early-game difficulty may frustrate newcomers, but dedicated players will find a rich, satisfying experience.

Tales of Graces f Remastered does not reinvent the formula, but it does manage to capture and modernize the essence of the original game. Its combat system remains one of the most dynamic and strategic of the saga, while its narrative, which focuses on the bonds of friendship, stands out for its warmth and classic flavor.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is an excellent opportunity for new players to discover this action gem, while veterans can relive the challenge with a fresh coat of paint. However, the design decisions inherited from Sigma 2 mean that this is not the definitive version that many were hoping for.

Planet of Lana 2 is a brilliant narrative platformer that confirms Wishfully’s talent. A short but unforgettable adventure that stands out for its art, its music, and its ability to tell a moving story without the need for words.

Yakuza Kiwami for Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid and straightforward remake that focuses on Kiryu Kazuma’s personal story. Less ambitious than Yakuza 0, but still intense, it delivers enjoyable combat, a well-paced narrative and very stable performance, making it a great way to experience the saga in portable form.

Elroy and the Aliens is a fun and simple point & click adventure game full of subtle nods to pop culture. A thrilling journey to the stars in pursuit of solving a mystery, and find out if our missing father is still alive after 18 years.

Bionic Bay is one of those titles that demonstrate the enormous potential of independent development and that make us turn our gaze to the indie to place many of its proposals among the best titles of the year. From its impeccable environmental physics to its mysterious tone, everything in this game is carefully designed to surprise, propose a challenge and, above all, have fun. If you like challenging platformers and worlds that tell stories without words, this is a game not to be missed.

The Outer Worlds 2 is a remarkable game with Obsidian's brilliant narrative style. But it doesn't evolve in all the ways it perhaps should. It remains constrained by its own rules, by the principles of classic role-playing that they have been applying for years.

F1 25 is a bet for modernizing and enriching a formula that, although effective, needed a change. Its renewed My Team mode, the always interesting narrative of Braking Point 3, the technical improvements in driving and representation of the circuits, and the demanded advanced customization make it an essential release for fans.

PGA Tour 2K25 is a pretty solid evolution, with key improvements in control, customization and realism. EvoSwing is a welcome addition that adds depth to the gameplay, and the Dynamic Rounds system makes it easier to enjoy career mode without compromising the experience.

Skate Story is a highly author-driven skateboarding game with accessible mechanics and a distinctive surreal urban style. Its minimalist visuals and Blood Cultures’ soundtrack build a strong atmosphere, but the abstract narrative and repetitive structure may feel distant. A bold, artistic experience that favors mood and interpretation over traditional storytelling.

A huge RPG, at the height of the legend that Obsidian has already forged in its 30 years of history. Avowed is an RPG that uses classic recipes to make us fall in love with a new story and an outstanding artwork. Its lore, its world, its stories and its setting catch and do not let go and its combat system and progression have made us fall in love with it.

Atelier Yumia is one of the most ambitious and complete installments of this long-lived franchise. Its renewed combat system, the freedom of exploration and the incorporation of new mechanics such as the construction of bases give a fresh air to the saga.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is very easy to play, accessible, perfect for sharing with someone else at home, and has excellent character handling. It's a very functional title in terms of what it evokes, perfect for newbies to the genre and with many hours of replayability. It's a pure reflection of those arcade games with everything that entails, and the Marvel name suits it very well.

Tales of Xillia Remastered brings back a key JRPG, but with a bare-bones upgrade. The combat still shines, yet the technical improvements are minimal and the visuals clearly betray their PS3 origins. A competent but unambitious return that works, though it never fully justifies its comeback.

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a very classic graphic adventure, which takes us to live a narrative and exciting story in the purest science fiction style of the '80s.

The whole Scott Pilgrim EX package feels hard-anchored to the first game—pure arcade DNA and the series’ trademark shine—but it’s been too many years for a loop that’s barely evolved to wow anyone. The combat system is functional and solid, but for such a storied IP, the overall experience feels a bit undercooked. Honestly, the best way to really get into the groove is to crank the difficulty to max; only then does the run start to feel genuinely engaging.

Keeper is a game that stands out for its premise and beautiful artwork. However, that overly simplified premise, combined with repetitive gameplay, means that it doesn't quite manage to hook us.

Sorry We're Closed is not a game for everyone. Its classic gameplay can be really frustrating. But its atmosphere, story and aesthetics make it a remarkable experience. It's a tribute to survival horror classics, with its flaws but with a lot of personality.

Gears of War: Reloaded is undoubtedly the best way to relive or discover a modern video game classic. It is not a reinvention, nor does it pretend to be. It is a faithful, visually stunning tribute, with key improvements that do not sacrifice the essence of the original. If you were ever a fan of the series, you may not get much out of this journey, despite the many technical improvements it incorporates. But if you're new to it, you'll find a solid experience, albeit with certain elements that betray its age.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a declaration of intent by Omega Force, a very brave renewal of a saga that is already legendary. With a renewed combat, an enriched narrative and a technical section to the height has come to revitalize the musou genre.

Dying Light: The Beast is an absolute triumph for Techland and a gift for fans. It recaptures the essence of the first title, improves on what was learned in subsequent installments, and manages to balance story, gameplay, and atmosphere with a campaign that can take you up to 50 hours of gameplay depending on the difficulty (and which you can enjoy in co-op mode). It's proof that the franchise is still alive and kicking, bloodier and more exciting than ever.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spin-off that focuses on action, eccentricity and pirate life. With a Majima more unleashed than ever and endless activities to do, the game offers a good number of hours of fun to fans of the saga.

RIDE 6 represents the peak of maturity for the series. It doesn't revolutionize the formula, but it perfects it and opens it up to more players. Its Career mode is deep, varied, and replayable. The inclusion of Arcade mode democratizes the experience without betraying the essence of simulation. There may still be room for improvement in areas such as AI and the rewind system, but today it is the absolute benchmark in motorcycle gaming.

It's very likely to become a timeless classic—perhaps misunderstood by many, but highly praised by the patient and the crazy ones. Sakurai has crafted a work that reflects his own tastes and everything he loves about the medium.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a remarkably polished and satisfying experience—one that works whether you’re a longtime Zelda fan, a musou enthusiast, or someone looking to dip their toes into both worlds at once. It’s gripping from the start and stays true to the spirit of Tears of the Kingdom, capturing that same sense of adventure and momentum.

Sonic X Shadow Generations on Nintendo Switch 2 is a quality port that corrects many of the technical shortcomings of the previous version. It offers a fluid experience, visually appealing and fully enjoyable on both desktop and portable. But it does not add new content and its appeal is reduced if you already played on Switch 1 and were hoping for some kind of incentive to go through the cash register again.

Wax Heads is one of those small independent surprises that stands out for its strong personality and delivers a tremendously authentic experience about music, community, and the importance of spaces that nurture and share culture. Its blend of investigation, simulation, and cozy storytelling, together with its fabulous musical atmosphere, works really well. Fulfilling customers’ requests is fun, the characters are incredibly charming, and the shop ultimately becomes a place it’s hard to say goodbye to.

Luto is an experience that cannot be recommended lightly, but it deserves to be played by those who are looking for something more in video games. Its approach is bold, honest, and emotionally devastating. It has flaws, yes, but none of them detract from its ability to make an impact. It is one of those games that you don't forget when you close the game. It stays with you. It gets under your skin. And it forces you to think.

Overall, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is one of the best ways to experience the franchise, and both Digimon fans and JRPG enthusiasts in general will find this to be a remarkable game that they will enjoy for many hours.

A sequel that refines the formula of the first game without revolutionizing it. Its combat is challenging and satisfying, its art direction is impeccable and the atmosphere is once again fabulous. However, the lack of innovation in its story and the few tweaks to its gameplay may not be enough for avid fans of the first installment.

REPLACED isn't perfect, but it is special. We've fallen in love with its narrative, its aesthetic, and its extraordinary art direction. And its mechanics—the platforming, combat, and puzzles—work well and are sometimes truly outstanding. With all of this, it manages to weave a story that's a delight to uncover bit by bit. REPLACED is a must-play for fans of cyberpunk and narrative experiences with personality. And upon finishing it, we’re left thinking about its characters, its world, and what it truly means to be human.

Ultimately, Starfield is a solid, classic RPG with that signature Bethesda DNA. It delivers a compelling narrative and masterfully captures the sense of scale. However, it is weighed down by an archaic structure; for a studio that is starting to lag behind the modern market, it’s a title that desperately needs more risk-taking and modernization.

Dune: Awakening is an MMO survival RPG that takes us to a hostile and faithfully recreated Arrakis. Its alternate story removes Paul Atreides, casting us as Bene Gesserit agents with hydration, crafting, base-building, and a realistic economy system. The gunplay is solid, but melee combat feels clunky and lacks impact. It stands out for its flexible RPG progression and immersive open world, though its technical demands on mid-range PCs and the harsh death penalties can be frustrating for some.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond arrives as an ambitious title that attempts to reinterpret what a Metroid game means in 2025. At its core, when it sticks to exploration and environmental design, it's brilliant. But when it tries to take the game into open structures, chatty companions, and unpolished new mechanics, it loses a lot of its power.

OPUS: Prism Peak is a game that dares to explore territories rarely seen in the medium. It speaks about adulthood, the weight of the past, and how we build our identity from incomplete memories. And it does so with a sensitivity we rarely see in video games. It’s not perfect. Its uneven pacing, the overload of systems, and its extremely melancholic and dreamlike tone may push some players away. But it’s an experience worth having.

Days Gone Remastered is not just a visual update; it's an opportunity to rediscover a game that perhaps didn't get the recognition it deserved. It's still not a perfect game: it has repetitive missions, some inherited bugs and debatable gameplay decisions. But its proposal is solid, immersive and with really memorable moments.

MotoGP 25 does not reinvent the wheel, but it does put a tire capable of scratching the best times to the chrono. It is a more polished, more accessible and visually more attractive than its predecessors, but also less ambitious in terms of content. The absence of historical or narrative modes detracts from its long-term value, and the AI, although improved, still gives some displeasure.

Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is a charming, eccentric, and very Nintendo social simulator. It has obvious shortcomings, but also a huge capacity to generate its own stories. And when a game manages to make us care about the little quirks of our Miis, even the most absurd ones, it means it’s doing something very right.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Switch 2 is, at its core, a clever adaptation. It doesn’t match the technical quality of other platforms, but it manages to preserve what matters most: its magic. If you’ve already played the original on PS5 or PC, this version isn’t a must-have. But if you didn’t play it back then and you’re someone who enjoys playing on a handheld, here’s a fantastic opportunity.
