The new content, with the added modes, combined with the already extensive hours of the traditional campaign, make this remaster worthwhile in terms of the amount of time you can enjoy the game.

A third installment that regrets not being produced by Tarsier Studios, but still surprises us with moments of terror. With the addition of co-op, it's better to join a team on this new adventure.

Don't look for a frenetic, nonstop action title in Keeper, because you won't find it here. What you will find is a tranquil offering, so creative it feels like a pure acid trip, in a world of truly magical colors, creatures, and sounds that will invite you to think and enjoy the journey much more than the final destination.

A fun sequel that has its fan base. It feels like a continuation, and its tracklist seems a bit lacking, but it maintains its essence and offers pure, straightforward fun, whether you're playing alone or with others.

Formula Legends is a new rookie that wants to take the highest place in the podium of F1 games, and it does it by taking the player through time in different eras with a unique style.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is an enjoyable, life-enhancing experience that keeps you happy, full of laughter and excitement. It's one of those karting games that hooks you from the start and seems to never end . With the mustachioed guy's permission, we're looking at one of the best games of its kind this year. It's true that it has its flaws, as all games do, but its positive aspects are so many that the bad ones are easily overlooked. This is a title for all types of players, and you can enjoy it alone, with your family, or with others online. It's a highly recommended game that you shouldn't miss if you like the character and this type of experience.

Glowmade has created a multiplayer game that will be talked about for its creative combination, its incredible script, and the vast amount of customizable aspects it offers at a price that, by current industry standards, is almost ridiculous, along with the constant on-screen action. Perhaps the most important achievement of King of Meat is that it can be played by a 9-year-old or someone with over 40 years of age, and both profiles will find something enjoyable and fun , a very rare feature to find in current productions. If you're into multiplayer games, I recommend you give this title a try. I'm sure you won't regret it.

A crazy adventure that looks promising and is enjoyable if you're willing to overcome its gameplay flaws.

The title may not appeal to those looking for a relatively fair single-player experience, but it's still a real time-waster when it comes to multiplayer , with the same essence as the previous installments and a few more additions that keep the entertainment constantly flowing. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap isn't a quantum leap forward for the franchise, but it does expand on what's already been done and dares to spice it up with various elements that expand the title without substantially improving it.

I don't know how it might be received by the most hardcore Silent Hill purists, but once you've played the first few minutes of the game and gotten into the swing of things, you quickly forget that feeling and you realize that you're in front of an exceptional work in the genre that keeps you hooked like very few games manage to . For me, it's a 10/10 game. I could probably be more meticulous and find some snags in the combat system and some mechanics, but they're minor things, and I can say, without fear, that Konami is coming back in a big way with this new Silent Hill.

EA has listened to fans and incorporated many of their requests, which is noticeable from the start. It may not be surprising in the first few hours, but the more you play, the more you appreciate the changes, and the harder it becomes to put down the controller.

UBOAT is a response to a niche of gamers and a very original addition to the Xbox catalog that really has a lot to offer, but still has to solve many problems before it can be considered a valid option to pay a good amount of money for. Once the major bugs are ironed out and the UI is perhaps tweaked to better adapt to Xbox, I think the game may appeal to at least a portion of PC gamers, although for now, I think they're better off enjoying the title on that platform where it's already sold over a million copies.

Dying Light: The Beast is much more than what you would expect from an expansion, it is a new prism within the saga and it has made it clear to me that there are never too many zombie games.

This puzzle can take up to 10 hours to complete, depending on the speed at which you solve the puzzles, the coordination between the players, and the amount of laughter you cause if you can't finish a section because you accidentally get caught, bumped, or who knows what else. I can assure you there will be no shortage of laughs, and what could be more wonderful than that when you're playing with someone else?

If you enjoy demanding titles that force you to manage resources, play carefully, and stay calm in the face of intense boss battles, Cronos: The New Dawn is a game you shouldn't miss. For me, it's one of the big surprises of this year on Xbox.

Evil Empire has managed to shine with this new offering, bringing back a saga that deserved to be back, with a fluid, agile approach that captivates you from the first encounter with the character. Perhaps it could use more content, but that depends on each player's tastes. Regardless, this title has the charisma and quality necessary to become a must-have in the Xbox catalog.

It's not a title that will define the year, but it can be worthy entertainment for those who enjoy the genre and are looking for a futuristic alternative. Ultimately, Metal Eden is a reminder that, while the ingredients are there, it's not enough to imitate the greats: you need that extra bit of personality, which only appears here in spurts, and that's perhaps the most frustrating aspect.

If you're looking for a different challenge, a game that forces you to observe, fight smart, and be involved every step of the way, Hell Is Us is a title worth your attention. You might not have expected it, but here's a dark horse that has a lot to say this year.

Gears of War: Reloaded faithfully revives the legendary 2006 classic with sharp 4K visuals, 60 FPS in campaign, and up to 120 FPS in multiplayer. The brutal cover-based combat remains as satisfying as ever, enhanced by HDR, Dolby Atmos, and faster load times that make the experience seamless.

Revisiting Cobra is always a welcome experience, and Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening manages to portray the character and the universe surrounding him in a very authentic and entertaining way . The title is fun, has great controls, and doesn't feel generic despite its setting. I'll never understand why they decided to release it without localizing it into Spanish, at least in its Latin American version, but hey, those are decisions beyond our control. Cobra returns to jumping over obstacles, leading chases, winning hearts, and firing his psycho-weapon, and that's why many of us are happy.

The idea of ​​Day of the Shell was truly fascinating to me —blending two genres with an original approach. I think it speaks volumes for everyone involved in its development. I think the game, despite becoming somewhat repetitive as you play for hours on end, is an ideal choice for those looking for a dynamic strategy game that can be enjoyed in very short sessions, without having to dedicate themselves to marathon sessions. The game could be improved with a few tweaks to the roguelite mechanics , by adding content and perhaps making some adjustments to the random difficulty, it's true, but as it stands right now, it's a more than interesting option for fully enjoying a genre that's far from common. Hopefully, many more offerings like this will come.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance marks the triumphant return of a legendary series that had been silent for too long. SEGA and Lizardcube have achieved what seemed almost impossible: bringing back the essence of Shinobi without falling into mere nostalgia , offering a game that works for both veterans and new generations. Comparing it to series like Ninja Gaiden is inevitable, but also unfair. While Ninja Gaiden always opted for more frenetic gameplay and a high level of difficulty, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance offers a more balanced pace, with an emphasis on combat and strategy . They are two distinct offerings that, in reality, complement each other.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a faithful remake of the 2004 classic, rebuilt in Unreal Engine and running smoothly at 60 FPS. The Cold War story remains intact, while visuals, controls, and combat feel sharper and more modern. Players can choose between the classic scheme or a new control style, blending nostalgia with accessibility. With a 15–20 hour campaign and extra modes like Fox Hunt and Secret Theater, it’s a respectful update that revives one of Metal Gear’s most iconic entries.

Nightdive once again manages to revitalize a classic FPS with the acquired know-how of knowing what to tweak and what to leave intact. Unlike what they did with the Quake series or the Doom titles, Heretic + Hexen seems to be a much harder sell, given that these titles, while I believe they are essential in any FPS lover's library, are still nowhere near as popular as Bethesda's other series, although this may be the series' opportunity, a few decades after its release, to reach a level never before expected.

For me, Gradius Originis is a truly spectacular collection , a title that pays homage to one of the most important sagas in the genre with the respect it deserves. If when you saw the game's announcement you thought it would simply be an emulator running different games from the series, you were wrong. This collection will touch the heart of any Gradius fan with tons of visual and audio resources, and if all that wasn't enough, it also includes a new Salamander game as the final ingredient to this exquisite dish. Don't hesitate to board these ships; the journey will be difficult, but truly beautiful.

Viewfinder is a work that clearly requires a lot of heart and feeling from the developer studio, a very unique adventure that constantly challenges players with an interesting and, above all, extremely original proposal. The title is an invitation to all those players looking for an intellectual challenge, completely removed from the action, to spend a pleasant time, perhaps with their family, solving puzzles and trying to advance through pleasant scenarios with a story that's not too tense and serves as a guiding thread throughout the stages. This type of game may not be for everyone, but you'd be very wrong not to at least try it; I'm sure it will captivate you.

Echoes of the End isn't a perfect game, but it is a bold and personal undertaking that demonstrates that Myrkur Games has something to say. Its setting, the charisma of its protagonists, combat that improves over time, and the use of magic to solve puzzles make it a highly recommended experience for those looking for something different from the usual. Visually, it's remarkable, its soundtrack fits well within the game, and its approach blends action, story, and exploration well. There's room for improvement in the technical aspects and in the variety of some stages, but the final feeling is that of having experienced an adventure with personality. That's why I highlight these A-list games, which fill in the gaps that others don't.

This is an adventure that places us right where it should be, close to the conclusion of Demon Slayer with the arrival of the Infinity Castle Arc. It does so correctly and respects the lore surrounding our protagonists, something CyberConnect2 is grateful for achieving once again. It's true that it has some flaws, but they're not serious enough to discourage you from recommending the game, especially if you're a fan of this story. Fun, characters, action, and everything you need to prepare for the final battle: all of that is possible, and on your Xbox.

Sengoku Dynasty presents an interesting and original proposal, given the type of game and the period in which it's set. The title even has all the ideal components to be a more than interesting option for a group of players . Unfortunately, at launch, the game will need to refine some important details, but the foundation is solid; it just needs the game to bear the right fruit.

Mafia: The Old Country is a mature game that knows what it wants from the very beginning. It takes no risks and focuses on what a single-player game should be. Without a doubt, a notable title within the series.

Killing Floor 3 won't be a game for everyone, especially those who enjoy playing solo, but it's for fans of the genre who enjoy waves of monsters to defeat. Clearly, this is a great game that will give us a good number of hours with the controller in our hands, and with which we won't stop feeling the frenzy of destroying everything while heavy metal plays alongside our teammates.

It's a must-have game in the Xbox catalog, a gem that proves that past and present can come together to provide a fresh and unique experience. It's fast, lethal, and, without a doubt, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a solid and worthy step forward for a saga that deserves it all.

The genre may not be for everyone, but if narrative adventures are your thing or horror appeals to you, you can't miss Mourning. It's simply brilliant.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers doesn't attempt to compete with the giants of the genre, but it earns its place with honesty, effort, and a unique identity . It's not a title that wows with its mechanics or cutting-edge technical display, but it does convey that constant pulse of danger and reward that makes this type of game great. The setting, creature design, and the way it challenges the player (without making any concessions) make it a serious proposition for those looking for something more than a simple challenge. It may lack some technical polish or the visual impact of Lies of P or Sekiro, but it makes up for it with personality and an art direction that knows how to draw you in. Most importantly, it treats you not as a spectator, but as an active participant. If you fail, you learn. If you keep coming back, you improve.

Greedland is the perfect choice for fans of games like Vampire Survivors who are looking for an alternative to that production that doesn't feel like a cheap copy or an attempt to capitalize on the game's hype. While it borrows heavily from the aforementioned title, Greedland stands out with its own personality and maintains an aspect that's almost impossible to imitate: the healthy addiction it generates in the player. On this last point I must seriously warn you: the game will eat up several hours of your time without you realizing it, but, after all, isn't that what all good entertainment should do?

Could it have more varied environments? Yes. Could the AI be a little sharper? Yes. But none of that prevents us from looking at an expansion that not only delivers, but expands on what we've seen before. RoboCop remains the law, and this time he proves it from the bottom to the top of Detroit.

Ready or Not makes no compromises. It has no cinematic campaigns, no massive multiplayer, no brilliant progression systems. But what it does do, it does with surgical precision. It's a shooter designed for those who want to feel the real pressure of a tactical operation, for those who enjoy planning, coordinating, and executing. On Xbox Series, it presents itself as a robust, functional version, faithful to its original idea. And while it still suffers from minor issues inherited from its Early Access run, it makes up for it with deep gameplay, constant tension, and enormous replayability. If you have a couple of friends to play with and are looking for something more serious and challenging, Ready or Not could be one of your titles of the year.

The nostalgia and essence of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 are still there. Perhaps to a lesser extent than before, but everything we love about the character and what he represents in popular culture remains. An icon who came to the world of video games to bring us charisma, fun, and, above all, the freedom to entertain ourselves. A must-try and enjoy game from the Xbox catalog.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster has all the improvements that fans of the long-standing classic could want and is the best invitation for fans of Deus Ex or Bioshock to experience the genesis of this style of game in a modern way.

While the experience is enjoyable and fun, FBC: Firebreak raises serious questions about its long-term prospects once the wave of its debut passes.

Final Fantasy XVI is a truly worthy installment of Square Enix's most successful franchise, with a main story that has me hooked from the first moment. It has characters that you care about and with good development, in addition to being technically good despite the problems on Xbox Series X / S, it surpasses Final Fantasy XV and its technical problems in all aspects, so if you have been a fan of the saga, we are facing one of the best installments of recent years.

Raidou Remastered isn't an RPG for everyone . Its dark tone, its mix of genres, and its slower pace distance it from more straightforward offerings. But if you get into its game, if you let yourself be drawn into this city where demons and politics coexist in the shadows, you'll discover one of the most curious stories in the Shin Megami Tensei universe. This Xbox Series version is undoubtedly the best way to play it today: with Spanish text, notable technical improvements, and extra content that justifies a reissue. It's an unexpected but welcome return for fans of the genre and Atlus.

It's not a perfect game. We're aware that this is an independent title, developed with care and passion, that will win over those who enjoy this type of experience. It has the soul of a classic and strays from the more commercialized modern formulas. It's a recommendable option for all types of players, especially those looking for something different within the driving genre.

This has been a bumpy launch that didn't live up to what the series deserved. However, negative aspects aside, there's a great game here, one that retains many of the elements we enjoyed so much in the original installments. This is a title that deserves a chance. It's also received updates that have corrected many of its initial flaws, allowing us to enjoy our troops once again, always ready to take on the toughest missions.

Enotria: The Last Song doesn't aim to revolutionize the genre, but it does bring its own personality. Its mask system, its distinctive setting, and the way it rewards exploration make it stand out among indie souls-likes. It has room for improvement in terms of technical polish and enemy balancing, but as a definitive version, it delivers exactly what it promised: a dense, challenging, and rewarding adventure. For fans of the genre, it's a highly recommended trip. And for those drawn to the artistic, its visual style and setting may be reason enough to give it a try.

It's clear that EA and Codemasters have focused on making a different game. Will it satisfy the core fan base? Probably, though perhaps not 100%. It's also worth asking whether the developers, with small changes, aren't beginning to open up their horizons to a new, more casual audience, one that doesn't want to spend so much time on specific car configurations and simply enjoys the category and the occasional race in a realistic setting. And if so, would that be so bad?

FromSoftware has created a new format within its universe, and it's done so without betraying its essence. Nightreign not only expands the game's scope, it also expands the possibilities of the genre, and is sure to set a new standard.

The Chimera has some very good and interesting ideas that make me think it will have a promising future, or at least that it could catch the attention of fans of the genre, but right now it has a long way to go to properly exit Early Access on PC , something that I hope will make a console version possible. [Early Access Provisional Score = 55]

Anima Flux seeks to offer a straightforward story and constant action, designed for you to enjoy from beginning to end, despite being a somewhat brief experience. Its strong point compared to other similar titles is its co-op mode, which adds variety and the ability to share the adventure with someone else on screen. Its technical and gameplay aspects are satisfactory without being particularly outstanding, but it offers a visually attractive product. It's important to note that the game enters a market saturated with similar offerings, many of them with a more distinctive style. Don't get me wrong: it's a decent and functional title that meets the standards of the Metroidvania genre . However, it still has room for improvement in certain aspects. It could be a recommendable option if you're looking for something short and enjoy this subgenre.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny doesn't feel 20 years old; it still feels fresh with its action sections, story, bosses, and even puzzles that are far more inventive than in most Resident Evil games. The additions may not be extensive, but they do their part to give this remaster its own identity .

The heavy machinery translates that weight into the title's level of fun, an ideal game for Snow/Mudrunner fans with all the necessary components to entertain and challenge in a very original way, something rare to see these days, unfortunately, in this industry we love so much. If you like this type of productions and/or simulators, this is a great game to indulge your addiction at will and the best thing is that you will only need to try it for a few minutes to know that you will like it.

With an excellent combat system and the ability to forge massive weapons, this is a fresh experience that's not your typical souls-like game. Blades of Fire stands out from the rest in its own way, allowing us to enjoy its diverse and expansive world.

It's a game worth every minute spent exploring, feeling free, and, most importantly, having fun like kids . It's a must-have on Xbox Game Pass and, without a doubt, a gem in the Xbox catalog. If you still have doubts, play it and discover it for yourself. I'm almost certain you'll have a great time.

Saying anything unfavorable about this collection is like attacking the history of the Japanese, or even the legacy they've forged in the industry, which should be enjoyed by everyone. Recommending this title, which boasts eight experiences, is almost obligatory, and it's truly worth it for everything you get from it.

The Precinct met all my expectations and fulfilled that wish I've been longing for since the days of the original GTA, although I think it still has some elements to polish, such as the bugs I already mentioned, and maybe add some more mechanics so that it doesn't become so repetitive after a few hours. I think it's the most original offering we'll see this year , and that's why it deserves to be on players' radar. If you enjoyed the original GTA or American Fugitive (to name a few more recent titles), I think this Fallen Tree Games game is a sure buy for 2025.
