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.

Call of the Elder Gods is a fabulous sequel to Call of the Sea that manages to be even more interesting for those who enjoy cosmic horror, environmental puzzles, and mystery stories with the flavor of pulp literature, tabletop RPGs, and impossible archaeology. It improves on its predecessor in every way: in length (it’s somewhat longer), in its number of different locations, characters, narrative, script, technical quality, and, above all, in the variety, mechanics, and depth of its puzzles.

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.
