Even with some sacrifices along the way, Shadows on Switch 2 is a surprisingly detailed and convincing port. It's not the best version, of course, but it's more than enough to enjoy tens of hours in your new console.

Rocket Arena doesn't have the most inspired and original characters or settings, but it does have 10 well-designed characters, three fun modes and solid gameplay that keeps you hooked throughout your frantic games. It's fun for fun, and many times we don't want more than that.

Codemasters has taken profit from the last five years to make a great simcade that, despite being quite continuist, is among the best Formula 1 games in history.

NEO: The World Ends With You retains the freshness, uniqueness and stylish nature of the original game, but at the same time reinvents itself without forgetting the complexity and tons of content usually found in the JRPG genre. We're once again before a true gem.

The gameplay changes are minimal, but the facelift and multiplayer options mean that a game that redefined action two decades ago is still as fun in 2025 as it was back then. A great opportunity to revisit it or check it out if you've always been a Sony fan.

Sure, it's remarkably similar to the base game in many ways, but Ada's adventure finds its own course, one that enriches the core experience and offers some explosive, remarkable fights.

Elite Dangerous for Xbox One is the ultimate spaceship simulator. Its huge changing universe and its PvP modes make Frontier's game a very interesting option if you love sci-fi.

One of the most unique and refreshing JRPG of all time. The controls are far from perfect (in both modes), but this is the best chance to experience this fantastic story... Or rediscover it once again.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is a good game, has a sensational soundtrack, great puzzles, entertaining combat and cooperative gameplay that hooks everybody. However, it's also too simple, the difficulty is not well adjusted and it's far from being innovative.

A true classic platform game. It plays and feels like some Rare masterpieces such as Banjo Kazooie or Conker BFD. It seems that Nintendo Switch was designed for games like Yooka-Laylee.

After six years from its initial release, Diablo III still feels like a great RPG (specially local coop mode), with lots of content and a very enjoyable story.

Yooka-Laylee is a 3D platformer like those we had in the past and a great successor to Banjo-Kazooie. The gameplay is almost the same, just putting a chameleon and a bat in the place of the bear and the bird. The true Rare is now called Playtonic Games.

Days Gone might be one of the most entertaining survival games we've ever played. It presents a strong narrative and systems that make the game always unpredictable. It may not be a "must have", but it sure is a damn fun video game.

Visual Concepts has taken profit of PS5 and Xbox Series X-S in the most realistic sport simulator we have ever seen. It uses some things from the previous generation, but it also adds new features, such as improved graphics, The City and new modes for the WNBA. A new dynasty is coming.

Ten years after getting the license, Codemasters keeps showing its commitment with Formula 1. Thanks to the small improvements here and there, F1 2019 is one of the most complete Formula 1 games ever made.

Jusant is one of the most charismatic games of the year. It offers a quiet but increasingly interesting experience. It's ideal to escape from the noise of big budget productions and letting yourself be surprised with every step.

It's not the biggest or most spectacular game in the series, but it doesn't pretend to be that way either. If you want nostalgia for times gone by with a technical touch of present times, here you can enjoy it in style without having to connect to the Animus.

The Lego formula bring us one great family game, true to the Disney Pixar characters, full of details, and even better in local coop multiplayer. The Incredibles is a perfect game to share with your kids or younger siblings.

Skylanders returns another year with one of its most complete adventure thanks to the new SuperChargers vehicles and the fantastic online racing mode.

Really fun, with an extraordinary atmosphere, to please the fans and engage new to the franchise, much more polished than Unity, Ubisoft moves on right direction again.

Don't expect a horror game but a paranormal adventure, one that will intrigue and surprise you with some of its mechanics. A noteworthy and attractive experience that, maybe because of that, feels a little too short.

The Pathless picks ideas from some of the greatest adventures and adapts them to create something new, with its own identity. Maybe it's not the longest, but its one of those titles that you will remember for long time, for its wonderful aesthetic, sound, bosses or the way you move by its world (a mechanic that is highly enjoyable).

Octopath Traveler II is the definition of "more and better": a game that might not convert you if you didn't like the first... But if you did, the changes and additions will make you love even more this love letter to traditional JRPGs.

PES 2020 is a great soccer simulator, with some great additions to Master League and new dribblings, but we still miss new game modes beyond Matchday and some important licenses and tournaments.

A remarkable RPG that nay be a good starting point for Persona newbies. You'll enjoy it even more if you are a Persona 3 and 4 master.

A noteworthy port of a outstanding game. All the main ingredients remain intact, but we have made some graphical compromises on the way.

Elementallis is one of the most solid and entertaining “Zelda-like” games we've seen in recent years. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but everything it does, it does quite well, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable and entertaining.

The Lost Legacy is a great game. It is very fun and visually stunning, although it doesn't introduce anything new and it feels like a déjà vu with respect to Uncharted 4.

Quotation forthcoming.

The game finds the perfect balance between RPG elements, construction games (mainly inspired by Minecraft) and the classic characters from Dragon Quest Series (designed by Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama). It´s incredibly fun and deep either in story or free mode.

The best Mario sports game, despite Daisy's absence. It has one of the most fun multiplayer experiences that you can have on Nintendo Switch, both locally and online, that will deliver lots of healthy competition, despite losing some of the charm of the originals and having very few characters, stadiums and single player game modes.

World Of Warcraft Legion is an intensive episode, with epic atmosphere, a new class, dungeons and a brand new continent to discover.

With Lumines Arise, Enhance has once again successfully updated a classic puzzle game, as they did with Tetris, transforming it into a true audiovisual spectacle, and incredibly immersive if you play in virtual reality. Sound, graphics... everything comes together to create an electronic symphony that's hard to resist if you're a puzzle fan.

Rise of the Ronin is still a great adventure on PC, with a great combat system and RPG touches. Although technically it improves on what was seen on PS5, it doesn't make a huge difference compared to the console version, and the aspects that were weak there are still present here, such as the archaic facial animations, along with new bugs.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the first game since Blue and Red where we feel like the formula has really changed, and for the better. There's room for improvement (specially graphics wise), but we're sure that this is the way future Pokémon games should follow.

Project CARS 3 is not a standard sequel. It takes a lot of content from the two previous games (including the realistic handling of the cars), but it adds some arcade ideas that work and make it look more like GRID.

Surprising reinvention of the Yo-Kai Watch franchise, with a game full of content and lots of changes, all for the good. Fans and newcomers alike will surely enjoy Yo-Kai Watch 3.

Shadow of the Beast for PS4 is a gift that fans of the original Amiga game can't miss and offers a perfect mix of action, 2D platforms and puzzle, with Deep combat and fantastic artistic design.

Rise of New Champions is a great anime adaptation. A fast and spectacular soccer arcade, with every player and special move from Captain Tsubasa, and two single player story modes that deepen the experience.

Hogwarts Legacy finally has a version for a Nintendo console that has nothing to envy to the rest, neither in graphics, nor in performance, nor in fun. It's shame that there are no new content or that the physical version is a Game-Key Card, but except for that, it is a good port of a fun game that all Potterheads will enjoy.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 Psychic Specters is like the definitive edition of Yo-Kai Watch 2. Psychic Specters is the game that you need if yo want to enter into this universe. If you already have any version of Yo-Kai Watch 2, this game contains new dungeons, Yo-Kai, stories (like the origin of Darknyan) and new features to Blast Mode.

It's a great product as a game pack, but even more as a documentary. If you mix evrything, you'll find a real gem for any Mortal Kombat fan. You'll want to say "get over here!!"

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a solid action adventure that fans of this group of heroes will love. Although it is not surprising in its approach, it does many things well and manages to redeem itself in the eyes of lovers of the Marvel universe.

Titanfall 2 has a spectacular campaign and a multiplayer that has been redesigned to provide a better experience. Even with its problems, as a short campaign or old graphics, Titanfall 2 is one of those games that you have to play.

Skylanders Imaginators is one of the best games of the franchise. Create our own Skylanders is fantastic and the Sensei are a great addition. A great design of levels and a dozens of hours of action, fun and humor complete this great adventure.

Rise of the Ronin will delight fans of feudal Japan and samurai. Team Ninja presents an action game with sublime combat and an attractive narrative that is only marred by its technical aspects. Its open world is nothing to write home about, but it emphasizes the ambition to go one step further. The path of the samurai is marked.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is a different bet to the first title, a game that allows itself to be rocked by the most mainstream roguelike while maintaining what made the first instalment so unique and difficult. Its proposal is very different and that is why the value of this sequel soars.

Every single game is a must on its own, but the whole package is truly awesome. A new sample of M2's fine crafting in game preservation.

The Plucky Squire is one of the indie surprises of 2024, a great game in both form and content, with original ideas (like entering and exiting pages) and a superb staging. It can be criticized for tending to repeat ideas, but everything it does, it does very well and with a good dose of fun along the way.

Even failing at "showing World Wart Two like never before", Call of Duty Vanguard is a great FPS. Campaign is full of epic (and some dramatic) moments, multiplayer is fun and fast, and includes 16 maps (twice as the previous Call of Duty game) with plenty of modes and progression elements, and the new zombies mode is incredibly fun.

Its strategy gameplay is a lot of fun, and the adventure has a good length and lots of replay value. Image & Form tries something different from Dig and succeeds again with one of the best download-only games of the year for the 3DS.

An interesting mix of genres, with a unique visual style, tons of humor and, salvo por algunos fallos menores, it unfolds like a very enjoyable and unexpected surprise that will enjoy all those seeking for a different game, long and with its own personality. No doubt, Indivisible it's one of 2019 biggest surprises.

Life is Strange is a personal, beautiful and captivating adventure game that builds on the foundation of the friendship between two girls who seek their place in the world. A risky and very emotional game.

Resident Evil Revelations 2's third episode recovers some of the most memorable moments of the series (rooms filled with traps, final bosses, time limited escapes...) and puts them together in a rollercoaster ride that leaves 3-4 gameplay hours. No sign of puzzles or survival elements, but still, a fun ride that adds more missions for the enjoyable Raid mode, and more collectibles and secrets that make it very replayable. It's the best episode the game had offered so far, as simple as that.

Visions of Mana is not only one of the most beautiful action RPGs, it is also a very fun one, with a great combat system and a lot of content, although sometimes it seems that Square Enix wanted to play it safe without betting on new ideas and concepts. Anyway, the move has turned out well.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is like a dream come true: a game where we can play the most important moments of the nine films, engage in lightsaber battles, fly and fight with a space ship, explore the galaxy, control ALL the characters... If you are a Star Wars fan, it's a must have.

Like an illegitimate heir to the fire of FromSoftware, Ashen hits exactly the same notes that made Dark Souls a legend, achieving a challenging, mysterious and visually astonishing experience. We will closely follow the works of A44 from now on.

Tropical Freeze is an old school platform game, so refined in every aspect (difficulty, variety and visuals) that even released four years ago, it is still one of the best in its genre. The Switch version includes a new (easy) Funky mode and slightly better visuals, but it is still the same Wii U game

Extensive and surprising JRPG that shows a powerful history dressed up with an improved combat system that offers many strategic possibilities.

It's not perfect, it's not the best Monkey Island, even. But you can't deny its charm as a love letter to everything we adore about graphic adventure games. RTMI is a fun, nostalgic experience.

Like the biggest Pixar's productions, Unravel delivers on very different levels. On one hand, it's a 2D platformer-puzzler that is very well-designed and, on the other hand, offers a poetic message about life, friendship and death. All wrapped in its own style, with a lovely main character made of wool and a fantastic world to explore and interact with, with great visuals and soundtrack. It's sold as an indie game, but at some points it looks more like a triple A game. If you loved Journey and other art-games, you should go for it.

The Witcher III is still one of the best written RPGs out there, but the Switch version (specially played in TV mode) has many technical flaws and feels outdated.

Vesperia is one of the best games in the 'Tales of' series (maybe even THE best) and justice has been made after 10 long years: being able to enjoy Yuri's story, in the most complete version of the game and (finally!) translated to Spanish, it's the best gift to begin the year.

Some features show that the "base game" is 2 decades old, but the core experience is still mesmerizing and more accessible than ever.

FIFA 18 doesn't show a lot of changes to the core gameplay of the series, but it brings a lot of improvements in its various game modes, as well as a better atmosphere to the stadiums and a new chapter in Alex Hunter's journey that has managed to learn from its past mistakes.

Frontiers of Pandora is by no means a groundbreaking game (at least gameplay-wise), but its amazing representation of this universe will surprise you many times over.

The vast array of possibilities it offers is a playground for those who enjoy world-building and management. It might not be the most original thing, but within the Pokémon world, it certainly is. Pokémon Pokopia does little harm and much good.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the great adventure of the year, a game that breathes affection for the character and his classic films that we love so much. Prioritising the adventure, without abandoning the action is a great success, as well as not wanting to cover more than necessary.

This sequel represents a bigger and better take on what we already knew. The Outer Worlds 2 is a solid, deep, and fun experience, although we expected a bigger leap forward with the next generation of the series.

It's not a groundbreaking game, but it's an iteration that better knows how to please the fans of the franchise. A good narrative and charming characters help us to uncover the mysteries of London in spite of the bugs we find here and there.

Fast Racing Neo is a great replacement for F-Zero on Wii U. Its type of arcade racing is not very common these days.

BlazBlue saga continues with Central Fiction: new characters, new moves, great story mode and the same ultra-complex gameplay mechanics. Plenty of modes and possibilities but you'll end up having fun only if you're a fighting games master. We missed the new Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator 3D engine on this new BlazBlue, that shows 2D characters.

Guacamelee! 2 keeps the essence of the first entry and takes it a little further thanks to new powers, enemies, levels, humor and winks. Although there are some sections more difficult and small screen failures playing cooperatively, it's one of the best action and 2D platforms proposals of the year.

Bigger, better and refined, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the definitive versions of Sun and Moon. There's some déjà vu feeling with the story, but that doesn't neglect that these games offer tons of content, and that they serve as a great farewell for the series before jumping to the Switch.

One of the breeziest, funniest platforming games that we remember in a long time. If you love frantic heroes and explosive jumps, go for it.

An excellent balance between old school adventures and what we expect from the modern times. If you are not afraid of challenges with a glimpse of complexity, you'll find a colorful, enjoyable adventure.

An unmissable pack for fans of old-school fighting, with a great selection of genre classics. Some had aged better than others, tough.

One of the most beautiful and striking games of the year and a sure bet for any run and gun fan. It could use more content, but it's a blast while it lasts.

Hotline Miami 2 is "more of the same", a sequel that offers the very same elements from the original: violence, non-stop action, a high level of difficulty, a compelling storyline, polished pixel art and an unforgettable soundtrack. Based on these foundations, Wrong Number adds very little (new situations, new enemies...) but it doesn't need anything else. It is as fun and addictive as hell. If you loved the first one, you won't be disappointed.

F1 2021 is a great racing game, specially once you move into the car and feel the excellent handling and the great performance. Modes (specially Braking Point and classic content) could have been better, but you will feel like Hamilton and Verstappen racing each other for the victory.

Darksiders Genesis looked like another Diablo clone, but it has its own personality and is a Darksiders with a different perspective. It's fun, has a component of RPG and platform game and, despite its problems, is a great new game of the saga created by Madureira brothers.

One of the best musical experiences you can enjoy on Vita. Maybe its visuals aren't as polished as those seen in Persona 4 Dancing All Night. Maybe it lacks some game modes but as pure gameplay, it's one of the best and most entertaining rhythm games you can find on a portable system right now. But, as usual with this kind of games, consider first the kind of music you like: if you are more on the guitar hero vein, maybe its K-Pop (and other genres as electronic, r&b or metal) won't fit with your tastes.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD may not be at the level of other remasters and remakes like Metroid Prime Remastered or Paper Mario: The Millennial Door, but even that doesn't stop it from remaining a timeless classic that is worth discovering if you haven't played it on Nintendo 3DS ...or revive, if you already did.

This is the best version of the classic game, with controls updated and in HD, for a reasonable price. Nevertheless sometimes graphics feel "old".

Requiem is a great sequel, bigger and better than the original game in every aspect (storyline, gameplay mechanics and technical aspects). It truly feels like a Triple A game, but it has lost that fresh feeling we had when we first played Innocence.

Toukiden 2 manages to get out from Monster Hunter's shadow, and finds its own style. A style that is a joy to play.

Shovel Knigh Dig is another success in the universe of created by Yacht Club Games, a roguelite that, without straying too far from the formula of the genre and what we have seen in other Shovel games, manages to give it a twist to make it feel fresh. And it succeeds. Guaranteed joy for lovers of the most agile and casual roguelite.

It's basically the same formula of its predecessor, but improved with new tricks, a better level design and a fairer difficulty system. It's just fun.

You need to be a tough guy to dive into an VR Alien experience, but if that's your groove, you'll enjoy a game that perfectly honors the franchise.

F1 2016 marks the return of Formula 1 to the podium of the racing genre, after two weak games. The handling is ‘made in Codemasters’ and the sense of immersion has increased because of details such as the safety car or the manual starts from the grid.

The Old Hunters is what every other DLC should be: fresh, challenging and full of quality content, and one that doesn't feel as if ripped from the main game. Nightmares never felt so delightful.

The Sexy Brutale is a highly unique game. It's like a Clue game, but the entire environment is a puzzle. We already know who the killer is, but we have to stop every murder. The art is gorgeous and it's a great start for Cavalier Game Studios.

Feels like an evolution of Punch Put series, focused on multiplayer tournaments. Fun to play and tough to master, the downside is its lack of content: characters, game modes and levels.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess for Nintendo Switch 2 is a remarkable port for one of the hidden gems of 2024 and one of Capcom's games with more personality. While there are some cuts in graphics and optimization, the action and strategy proposal is enjoyed just as well as on other platforms.

"Satisfactory" is a well suited adjective for this game. It may not be as groundbreaking as other games in the genre, but it offers really interesting exploration and combats. And you'll love your Rots too.

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory it's the new game in the Kingdom Hearts series, making a stop in it's classical APRG style, to focus in musical rhythm games. It works, it's a solid game, entirely because the OST it's a masterpiece built since the first Kingdom Hearts came to us in Playstation 2.

It's a clear improvement from KOF XIV. This installment establishes itself as one of the most complete, accessible fighting games, without sacrificing its essence.

The Last Guardian has some technical issues and some rough mechanics, but it is a unique experience, as beautiful as ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. It is a game from the past, but released in 2016, in a good way. Trico will touch your heart if you adopt him.
