    Saros is definitely a solid, challenging, and very well-executed game within the Roguelike/Bullet Hell genre. Although it features simplified mechanics reminiscent of Returnal, it distinguishes itself enough to keep fans of the genre interested. Visually, it is one of the most beautiful games in the recent history of this generation, featuring an interesting plot and frantic gameplay. Even though it no longer has the element of surprise, it is a highly recommended game.

    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream returns as one of the quirkiest life simulators in the genre. Unlike other titles, it bases its premise on random interactions between Miis, from which anything can happen. Although it lacks a bit more depth, it is a game with a lot of charm, but also very niche.

    Starfield arrives on PS5 systems as a solid port, though it is a bit of a mixed bag. New content in the form of an expansion and fan-demanded gameplay improvements were implemented in this version, but on a technical level, it still suffers from the usual issues. Aside from the above, it is a game with the pure Bethesda hallmark.

    Pragmata is a third-person action game with a unique twist on shooting and hacking that gives its gameplay a strong strategic component. Although its story isn't all that surprising, we will at least love how the protagonist bonds with Diana and how both grow as characters. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but its mix of concepts is interesting enough to give it a try.

    WWE 2K26 for Nintendo Switch 2 remains an impressive technical showcase for a handheld console. This version brings over all the content available on more powerful consoles with favorable results. Although it has some areas for improvement, it is a highly recommended game.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is the definitive version of the original game that adds new content; although somewhat sparse, it is at least fun. It is more focused on its multiplayer aspect (though somewhat restrictive), and its graphical side did not require many tweaks, but it is content worth considering if we are fans of platformers.

    Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection continues the compilations of classic games featuring Capcom's blue hero. It brings with it the typical modern additions such as graphical improvements, updated settings, new modes, and a gallery with its own music player. That said, it inherits some limitations from the original titles, but overall, it is an enjoyable product.

    Marathon is an addictive extraction shooter with the unmistakable hallmark of Bungie. Its hostile map Tau Ceti IV offers great tension and survival, standing out for its colorful aesthetic and an accessible learning curve. Although the on-screen interface is overwhelming and gives the feeling that it could have launched more polished, its solid endgame content makes up for the experience.

    Screamer is a return to one of the legendary arcade racing franchises that stands out for its focus on story, art style, and high-octane gameplay. While it offers innovative controls using both sticks, the lengthy cutscenes break the pacing even between Tournament Mode races. Furthermore, although it features several interesting game modes, they are quite sparse and offer few customization options. Even so, it is a game that arcade racing fans might enjoy thanks to its great controls.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach on PC is a wonderful port and a very faithful sequel. It stands out for its major visual improvements, a cinematic photo mode, and the excellent stability provided by DLSS. Its mouse and keyboard gameplay is flawless, although its high technical requirements can be an obstacle for some players.

    The PC version of WWE 2K26 shines with its excellent stability, superior graphics, and great immersion. Although its initial menu is overwhelming and the visual options are somewhat limited, the decision to play it safe and lock it at 60FPS guarantees flawless, well-optimized gameplay so that any system can run it without issues.

    Pokémon Pokopia is a great blend of concepts as disparate as Pokémon, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing, which surprisingly work. It is an entertaining spin-off full of activities, always maintaining its 'Pocket Monsters' essence. Although it starts slow, once past that barrier, we are looking at one of the best games in the franchise so far.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is what you can expect from a remake that rescues a gem of traditional psychological horror. As a representative of the genre, it keeps the player in constant tension through both its unsettling soundtrack and the grim atmosphere of a rural Japanese village. Its dark plot and the ability to guide the protagonist's sister carry a deep emotional component. Although it is locked at 30fps, it graphically improves all its aspects with great results.

    Twisted Reflections is a game that represents a true 'more and better' approach, as it expands on what made previous entries great across several key areas. Its narrative, cast of characters, and beautiful world will definitely earn the fans' approval. The gameplay is more challenging, featuring new systems that are more complex and satisfying. It is a highly recommended game.

    Mario Tennis Fever stands as a solid entry in the franchise's sports lineup. Fun, varied, and featuring interesting mechanics of its own, it may not revolutionize the series, but it adapts seamlessly to the technical capabilities of the Switch 2. It firmly earns its place among the console’s recommended exclusives.

    Sons of Sparta is a solid 2D title that plays it safe, offering accessible gameplay and shedding light on a rarely explored chapter of Kratos's history. It dives into the Spartan's origins and the bond with his brother Deimos long before he became a legend. While it delivers a satisfying blend of the franchise's DNA with Metroidvania elements, it ultimately sticks to the genre's basics.

    Reanimal is a well-executed blend of a terrifying, grim atmosphere and a fresh twist on gameplay: co-op and 3D environments. The game masterfully handles exploration, puzzle-solving, and preying upon our deepest fears. Complementing this is a cooperative mode that fits the formula perfectly. It doesn't aim to break the mold, but stands as a worthy successor to the original Little Nightmares.

    Yakuza Kiwami 3 serves as Sega's apology for the original game's troubled launch back in 2007. It delivers exactly what you would expect from a remake in this franchise: a mature narrative with specific tweaks, hundreds of side activities, a revamped combat system, and a brand-new expansion. While there are certainly areas for improvement, there is nothing here to cause alarm.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice is a faithful adaptation of the source material that plays it safe within the fighting genre. It delivers exciting gameplay, a decent character roster, and a semi-open world mode—with all that entails. However, given some issues regarding story pacing and fighter balance, it remains to be seen how well it will hold up over time.

    Nioh 3 refines its formula with a dual combat style system—Samurai and Ninja—that adds a new strategic layer while improving upon established mechanics. The action shifts to 'Open Fields,' offering larger maps packed with activities. Ultimately, it is an improved experience, though its steep difficulty remains a high barrier for newcomers.

    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined transforms the franchise's most infamous classic entry into a title much closer to what genre fans want. It sheds the filler content and trades a plodding pace for a more dynamic flow. On the gameplay front, it introduces modern mechanics that make the experience more accessible. Technically, it is a beautiful title, and its soundtrack remains sublime.

    Code Vein II vastly surpasses its predecessor with the implementation of interesting new mechanics, an expansive open world, and deep customization. However, it does suffer from some graphical issues typical of the genre—while not severe, they are very noticeable. That aside, it delivers memorable moments and hours of fun.
