    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild and marks some pluses like changes to Link's new abilities and the large-scale open world. The game has many playable possibilities with the combination of our powers in which the sky is the limit. However, it is more of the same with a different name and the graphic section is not that great.

    Astro Bot is what we needed after playing Astro's Playroom for a long time; the student surpasses the teacher, but it is difficult to tell the difference between both games. This is a space adventure full of surprises, challenges and immersion that is only possible with the DualSense controller. This game is essentially a thank-you letter to PlayStation fans.

    This expansion is consistent with what we've come to expect from FromSoftware. This is the biggest studio DLC to date; it does not disappoint and delivers everything we imagined. It includes new enemies, new ways to play, and, most importantly, extremely challenging bosses who will make our journey through the Shadow Lands difficult.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition joins the current generation in style. To be honest this is the best graphics work ever implemented and is worth admiring with all the technical improvements made with raytracing. In addition, the new content of the Netflix series included in the game is a great detail.

    Capcom does it again. Resident Evil 4 is the best example of how to reimagine a game that has been with us for a long time. This Remake makes the gameplay feel fresh, intuitive and fun. On a visual level, it is the best work ever created with the RE Engine and other games of this generation. Best of all, once you finish the game the fun continues.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth expands the 2020 game by taking this second installment to new playable horizons and the individual stories of each character are more developed. The open world makes a difference from the usual as it is full of activities to do and secrets. The rule that says "don't touch anything that isn't broken" was implemented and they also added new playable options that notably improve the experience.

    If it weren't for the medieval environment and the fact that it goes by another name, Metaphor: ReFantazio could easily be called Persona 6, and it would still be a fantastic JRPG of the type that only Atlus can deliver. This game is very enjoyable, with a political plot, an impressive artistic section, new gameplay elements, particularly in combat, and so-called Archetypes. All this makes this game a memorable proposition.

    Although Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out for its artistic direction and dynamic turn-based combat, it doesn't fully convince me. Maybe I've become more demanding, but it feels like the game is always trying to give me the upper hand. The gameplay mechanics are already familiar and feel more like an update than an innovation. It needs some polishing in certain areas—maybe then I'll give it another chance.

    Persona 5 Royal is without a doubt one of the best JRPGs of the past generation that makes the leap to the current gen without losing anything. Being able to play in the best resolutions and running smoothly is more than enough to give it a try if you haven't already. It is one of those games that will leave us delighted with what it offers without expecting it.

    Donkey Kong Bananza delivers everything we hoped for in a modern 3D adventure starring Nintendo’s most beloved ape. Its addictive, destruction-focused gameplay, clever level design, and surprisingly developed story are definite highlights. However, the lack of real challenge makes it feel too easy at times. On top of that, the overwhelming amount of collectibles feels excessive and unnecessary for a game that didn’t need them to shine.

    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.

    Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, expanding on its predecessor both in story and gameplay. It charms with a more agile protagonist, a world that’s a joy to explore, and a soundtrack full of standout tracks. Still, the difficulty can feel a bit over the top at times, which might put off new players and frustrate veterans. Even so, it remains an absolute must-play.

    Split Fiction feels more like a 9-hour movie than a true co-op game. Interaction is limited, and the multiplayer experience is among the worst. Compared to its predecessors, it lacks depth and creativity, making it repetitive. While its PC optimization is solid, it ends up being a forgettable game rather than a truly remarkable experience.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC delivers impressive and smooth visuals, perfect for enthusiasts. With an exceptional soundtrack, an immersive story, and charismatic characters, it’s the ideal game to kick off the year. However, the lack of full compatibility with ultrawide monitors and the requirement to use a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse slightly limit the experience.

    Those who have not enjoyed the original game now have the opportunity to experience and continue this heartbreaking story in this enhanced version. Between many graphical improvements, new unreleased levels and No Return Mode, it can be given another chance, as long as we don't expect more than what we already saw in 2020.

    God of War: Ragnarök is quite a piece for its high visual quality and exceptional performance. It is not necessary to use DLSS or FSR to enjoy the game. Although playing with a mouse and keyboard can be difficult but it is a successful PlayStation port. The graphics, combined with the immersion provided by the Dualsense, make PC players feel comfortable experiencing this acclaimed franchise.

    The Last of Us Part II Remastered for PC is an excellent option for those who still want to experience this game at its best possible quality. The visual improvements and solid performance place it among Naughty Dog's best ports. While the scaling technologies don’t make a huge difference, playing it on PC comes very close to the PlayStation experience.

    Tekken 8 is the definition of everything that is good about Bandai Namco's fighting game. It is dynamic with a technical section worthy of this generation and has entertaining game modes such as Heat Mode. It has a decent roster of characters with new additions that fit the formula very well.

    Deathloop is the conjugation of everything Arkane Lyon has learned over the years with more polished mechanics. It is not the perfect game but it is very different from the many FPS proposals on the market. Any player can give it a try to see if they can break the loop.

    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.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is one of the best JRPGs of this year for Nintendo Switch. It maintains some unique characteristics and also receives some improvements that are quite welcome. It is a massive game in every way, it will keep us close to 100 hours of play without any waste.

    Dead Space feels like a new game with all the added improvements like great graphics, gameplay and last but not least great sound. Whether or not you enjoyed the original game, entering the halls of the USG Ishimura will give you enough terror to make you think it's worth it.

    Portal with RTX proves that a game that was released in 2007 can put the most modern hardware to date to suffer. If we had enjoyed it before, now it is much more beautiful, colorful in its entirety and with so much ray tracing that we will not know what to do with it. New NVIDIA technologies (DLSS 3 and Frame Generation) show once again that we are in the future.

    NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition is a good choice for Nintendo Switch owners. It has everything great that the game was acclaimed for upon its release in 2017 and adds never-before-seen content. It is admirable how they condensed a game of these dimensions on this platform.

    Bungie has recently endeavored to provide a satisfactory conclusion to its story with The Final Shape. The excellent graphic quality and beautiful soundtrack cannot be disregarded, even though the story and excessive recycling still leave us with unfavorable impressions. This has so far been the most expensive story we have seen in the video game industry.

    Kojima solidifies his status with this sequel which, while largely continuing the formula, improves on many fronts. One of the standout aspects is the story—more accessible this time—while still preserving the central theme of human connection, both narratively and through gameplay. It remains a game that won’t appeal to everyone, but those who enjoyed the first one will likely love this follow-up.

    2024 started strong with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a more than worthy sequel to the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio franchise. It is one of the longest and most extensive games but it has the original formula, a series of interesting new features were added. We have too many side activities that can overwhelm older players.

    Resident Evil Requiem brings together the best concepts that have defined the franchise while delivering a truly groundbreaking experience. It expertly balances the tension of hardcore survival horror with visceral action, all without losing sight of its roots (pun intended). It satisfies long-time fans and newcomers alike, standing as a highly accessible and deeply enjoyable title.

    This game is definitely the way to go when it comes to gathering old-fashioned games. With three games that push the boundaries of Nintendo DS exclusivity and an additional game with two versions of the same game adapted to newer systems, this is an absolute must-have purchase.

    The Last of Us Part I is a game that adapts its excellence to the current generation and goes way further than any simple remastered game. Regardless of its age, it is still a masterful game with the excellent combination of its history, gameplay and, above all, the improvements with the DualSense. It's a good way to start the saga if you haven't played any of the previous games.
