Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a Nintendo masterpiece, capable of delighting players of all ages and even those who don't even play video games. The Belabel expansion introduces lots of fun content, but I would have loved to have seen more levels to the original experience.

Not even Destiny's brilliant gunplay can save Marathon from its own mess. Bungie's new shooter drowns in too much visual noise, rudimentary menus and boredom. An extraction shooter that doesn't innovate and becomes tiresome long before it becomes fun. If you're hardcore in this genre, Marathon can be seen in a much more optimistic light.

Capcom has achieved a strong evolution over its predecessors, which are light years ahead of what is done here. The combat is fun, the story and visuals win you over, while the design works very well to keep you focused on the adventure.

Chaotic, frustrating, but undeniably ambitious. Crimson Desert constantly tests our patience with technical problems and a confusing narrative, before letting us enjoy its ambitious combat system, exploration and stunning visuals. A game that demands time and a lot of patience for those who manage to overcome the barrier of its lack of polish.

Romeo is a Dead Man is yet another bizarre and absolutely crazy title by Goichi Suda, a fine example of a video game by an author that displays all the insane methodology of its creator. It's not the best technical game, it doesn't have the best gameplay you'll find, but it's an absolutely out-of-the-box experience.

Mario Tennis Fever is another simple but highly ingenious effort from Camelot and Nintendo, which captures the flavor of the golden age of arcades in a way that few others can. Its solo strength is much more fragile, but played with company it becomes one of Nintendo's most enjoyable games in recent years.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is more than just a graphical update to one of the series' most human classics, it's an expansion with lots of fun new content, but the combat leaves a lot to be desired while Dark Ties is totally unnecessary.

As a huge Team Ninja fan who has played all their games, it's impossible not to feel that Nioh 3 has become their new benchmark. It continues the work done in Nioh 2, shows that it has learned from Rise of the Ronin and injects new energy with well-implemented mechanics.

The complex narrative, with multiple perspectives, the hybrid combat system, and the various mechanics that make it deep without overwhelming the player, make Trails Beyond the Horizon a spectacular JRPG to play.

Metroid Prime 4 has occasional moments of brilliance, especially when it approaches the original trilogy, but the Metroidvania design seems to have been oversimplified, the open world does not work, and parts of the progression involve bizarre decisions.

One of the best Marvel Comics-related games we've ever played. It pays homage to the classic beat 'em ups of the genre's golden age, but with modern elements that make it much more fun to play than you ever imagined it would be.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 looks good, but ultimately fails to bring anything new to the table. The campaign is confusing and poorly organized, the multiplayer is basically “more of the same,” and the Zombies mode has some good ideas, but it's not enough to save the game.

Kirby Air Riders is a game that is simple to control but offers a good level of depth in its gameplay. With four game modes that interpret the design in very different ways, it is an explosive game that grabs your attention as quickly as the speed of the races.

A delightful trilogy of JRPGs focused on alchemy, both in narrative and gameplay, whose combat system has evolved very positively from game to game. There are no significant new features for those who have already played them, but for those who haven't, here are the definitive versions.

An enhanced remaster with more content that shows how Virtua Fighter has all the potential to become something special with its believable combat, while rival series delve deeper into fantasy.

ARC Raiders is an action-packed shooter where you never know what's going to happen. You can go it alone and see what you're capable of, or team up with friends and enjoy the combat and loot together. With detailed maps, retro-futuristic visuals and incredible sound, it's challenging, but gives you a super rewarding feeling when you manage to come out on top.

Going back thousands of years to Tears of the Kingdom, the third Hyrule Warriors shows you everything from that first epic confrontation against Ganondorf, but the cast lacks the necessary strength, while the progress made in making the gameplay more frenetic clashes with the lack of evolution in the musou design.

The Outer Worlds 2 tries to be a great space RPG, but falls by the wayside. It has good ideas, lots of freedom and fun moments, but the story is confusing and the world feels empty. It's a game full of potential, but which never really lives up to it. An RPG that wanted to be a shooter, or maybe the other way around?

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a thrilling action game, featuring Team Ninja's aesthetics and PlatinumGames' electrifying gameplay, a dream combination for any fan of both producers. The result is one of the best Japanese action games of the last nine years.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A wins you over with its simple yet mystery-filled narrative, open-world design, and easy Pokémon management, but it's the dynamism of the new real-time combat that kept me playing long after the credits rolled. It's a very fun and easy-to-play game, which suffers from poor graphics quality.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is one of the best games of its genre, which deservedly returns for easy access on current platforms, but it feels like Square Enix should have done more. The graphic quality of the modern version is not entirely satisfactory, and content has been cut.

Silent Hill F is a psychological horror experience whose linear design allows the claustrophobic atmosphere to shine through with unsettling development. The narrative is disturbingly mesmerizing, the heavy combat system requires knowledge of its specifics, and Konami successfully diversifies without sacrificing the essence.

Battlefield 6 returns to what the series does best. The campaign is just an extra, but the multiplayer mode shines with great battles, well-defined classes, and that classic war feel. It's fun and shows that the series still knows what fans like.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a game that can be a lot of fun and engaging with its battles and everything related to Digimon evolution. However, the overall graphic quality, side quests, bosses, and linear design approach detract from the experience.

Although the remasters are a minimal effort, they bring improvements, especially on the Nintendo Switch 2, and remain a passion to play.

Dying Light The Beast brings back Kyle Crane, now with human and zombie DNA, to explore a new region.

The result is a fun, adrenaline-fueled game, perfect for fans, even if it doesn't offer any big surprises.

SEGA manages to differentiate its arcade racing game from Mario Kart World in several ways, achieving a super fun experience with its own mechanics, which only suffers from a lack of content and constant drops in resolution.

With two different styles of gameplay, FC 26 is equipped to satisfy players with different desires, making it one of the most important efforts in the series in recent years, even if a strong sense of continuity remains.

Ghost of Yōtei is a beautiful and refined open world with brutal and spectacular combat. The narrative oscillates between powerful moments and others that are more predictable, but overall it is an engaging adventure. Visually, it looks stunning on the PS5 Pro, running smoothly despite some occasional stutters.

A truly captivating game that makes difficulty its main personality trait. However, the precision of its methodical and ingenious design makes it a benchmark among Metroidvania games, capable of boasting a sumptuous status worthy of the best in the genre.

NHL 26 faces many of the same problems as EA Sports' other two sports series, such as pleasing both hardcore and casual fans by dividing its focus across multiple modes, but with the expected greater emphasis on the most profitable ones. However, single-player fans are well served, the graphics quality is superb, and the gameplay is fun.

Cronos: The New Dawn is an ambitious step by Bloober Team, combining horror, action, and survival in a devastated world. Mechanics such as enemy fusion and time manipulation are interesting, but technical flaws, repetitive combat, and an unsatisfactory ending limit its impact.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a cozy game featuring the adorable characters from the Hello Kitty universe, who need your help to improve a paradise island, attract more tourists, and unlock new adventures.

Madden NFL 26 is yet another detailed coverage of the NFL, recreated with high authenticity and graphic quality.

It's one of the few ways to combine your love for Demon Slayer with video games, a title from Cyberconnect2 that basically took its Naruto games and gave them a Kimetsu no Yaiba skin. Either way, it's an interactive anime with a fun combat system.

This thrilling journey with its striking artistic beauty is stunning to behold, but it's extremely difficult to believe that you're watching a video game.

It's like a trip back in time, taking you back to the 90s in a demanding and difficult experience that never feels unfair or artificial, with modern controls and methodologies that make it incredibly energetic. It's highly addictive.

Players aged 4 to 80 can have fun right away with this huge number of irreverent mini-games, with Nintendo Switch 2 raising the possibilities with voice-controlled mini-games and mouse-like controls.

Efforts to build its own identity work well at times, but suffer from some technical weaknesses that prevent it from reaching another level, compounded by graphics that fall short of expectations on the PS5 Pro.

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of Nintendo's funniest games ever, capable of bringing smiles to children's faces and energizing adults' love of video games. The 3D levels are playgrounds that you can almost completely destroy, in a design that uses simplicity as a launch pad for a huge amount of fun.

These new remakes are highly entertaining, immediately gripping and hard to put down. However, the simplification of the career mode and the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired. Despite this, it's a very entertaining experience.

The HD remaster of one of Square Enix's most beloved modern cult classics is finally available on a current platform, but despite its charms, it remains an experience that will easily divide players.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an ambitious sequel that deepens Hideo Kojima's vision. With improvements to the gameplay, new enemies, unpredictable environments and a strong visual component, it maintains the focus on human connections and introspection. Despite questionable technical choices and unmemorable bosses, the experience remains unique.

Mario Kart has transitioned to an open world, in an experience full of new mechanics and with a new rebellious and energetic personality, which even seems to take ideas from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It is truly addictive and immediately captivates people of all ages, including those who don't even play games.

All the charm and wit in this intriguing effort by Nintendo to show off all the features of its new console in a fun way doesn't allow you to escape the feeling that Welcome Tour should be included with every console and not as a game sold separately.

F1 25 is a solid continuation of the series, with occasional improvements in physics, car behavior and game modes. Despite this, many of the changes are subtle for those coming from F1 24, which calls into question the usefulness of a new annual release.

This is a bold reinterpretation of the Souls-like formula, which retains FromSoftware's DNA but bets on a cooperative and roguelike format marked by constant time pressure and high difficulty. The experience demands dedication, resilience and repetition, rewarding the most persistent with memorable moments of conquest.

Doom: The Dark Ages is an experience entirely worthy of the saga's legacy, while introducing elements that boldly renew and reconfigure it. Although it is not a flawless game, especially with somewhat disappointing visuals on consoles, it is a solid offering. The pleasure of playing is constant, and the sense of reward that each battle brings is very intense. In the end, that's exactly what I look for in a video game: challenge, intensity, and pure satisfaction.

Ubisoft has finally released Assassin's Creed Shadows, after several setbacks. It follows the formula of the series, without taking any risks, limiting itself to delivering a game that is consistent with what fans already know. Naoe is a nice surprise, while Yasuke doesn't seem to know what he's doing here. Anyone who likes the saga will love Shadows, but it's a shame it's not more daring.

Within the splendid Xenoblade series, Chronicles X is still its own title, whose science fiction setting allows for concepts such as Skells that make the whole experience even more distinctive. It's one of the great JRPGs of the last decade, in its definitive version.

Obsidian has delivered an action RPG with a weak technical component, in which it doesn't do anything exactly new or epic, but its combat gameplay is exciting and the story interesting enough to deliver an entertaining game.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is not the definitive version of the classic, but a game with graphics from 2025 in a design and gameplay from 2008, to remind you how glorious and exciting it was to play Ninja Gaiden. It's a reminder that there's nothing quite like Ninja Gaiden.

Origins isn't the kind of game that will significantly win over new players and it has some problems that may bother veterans, but it's a solid foundation on which to build a new era.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD has all the typical characteristics of a Nintendo game: beautiful, full of charisma and with infinite creativity. The story is almost non-existent and the multiplayer chaotic, but this remake shows the strength of the Donkey Kong mascot.

A great selection of Taito arcade games, in a mix of action and puzzles. Well worth discovering, especially if you missed the “arcade archives”.

A collection of some of Capcom's best fighting games, which are still incredibly fun to play today. Only HD remasters or remakes are better than this, but you won't be able to stop playing and wanting to share with friends.

Stalker 2 presents an impressive world, supported by Unreal Engine 5, where freedom of exploration and survival mechanics stand out. However, it suffers from technical problems, poorly structured missions and problematic artificial intelligence. The release was obviously rushed.

This remaster improves the gameplay, controls and various mechanics to greatly increase the fun, without sacrificing the tension and management mechanisms. It's a spectacular zombie playground that you can't stop playing.

Instead of a Metal Slug reboot, we have a complex and challenging alternative to turn-based strategic combat games. Beneath a hard surface that takes time to excavate lies a very dynamic and attractive military combat experience.

This kind of Hades for the little ones relies on good humour, simple gameplay and beautiful graphics, but fails to deliver anything that really makes you enjoy playing the game.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is an AA remake from Square Enix that doesn't hide the fact that its production level is far below that of its main blockbusters. However, there are interesting ideas and mechanics in a simplified experience that could win over newcomers.

A familiar journey into an alternative world, with established mechanics and new developments that make for an enjoyable and challenging experience.

This remake revisits the original classic, preserves the psychological horror elements and intensifies the player's emotional experience. Bloober Team has exceeded expectations by creating a version that maintains the game's legacy and takes it to new heights. The remake features fluid gameplay, organically integrated puzzles and reworked enemies for greater impact.

Black Myth: Wukong doesn't do anything particularly new, its gameplay is heavily inspired by FromSoftware's work, and its technical quality can drop to miserable levels, but if you can get past that, the skill and artistic ingenuity in this Chinese Souls-like game is irresistible.

Until Dawn is a remake that modernizes the original, with a visual reconstruction that intensifies the emotional connection with the characters. Although it has technical problems, such as frame drops, the dynamics of the choices keep the player immersed in the story.
