Persona Q2 is, very likely, one of the last big Nintendo 3DS games, a great J-RPG that unites the Persona games gameplay, social links included, with Etrian Odyssey`s dungeons. So if you love those games, you'll love it... even with its flaws: you have to grind a lot, dungeons are a little uninspired.

A fresh and original proposal that will please both those who enjoy now for the first time, and those who already try their day, with a lot of visual and playable improvements.

Gearbox has taken the Borderlands formula and improved it to achieve the definitive "looter shooter". Bigger, better, longer and funnier; Borderlands 3 is legendary loot.

Snowrunner is not for everybody, even if you are a fan of driving games. But if you are attracted to off road realistic driving it is engaging, and full of strategic elements.

From the Ashes greatly improves Avatar Frontiers of Pandora with enhanced combat and more quality additions. It's not essential DLC, but it is one of the most worthwhile expansions to arrive in 2025. An ideal adventure to accompany Avatar Fire and Ash, capable of making the base game more appealing.

We can see the shortcomings of Final Fantasy from far away: a bad camera, some outdated textures and some non exploited gameplay mechanics, like driving. However, we can see the virtues from more distance: touching characters, gameplay freedom, a really beautiful graphical show and the best combat system for the saga in years.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners it's a good zombi-survival experience, faithful to Robert Kirkman's work, with tons of action (or stealth) and tough moral decisions. it feels like a proper game, not a demo or an experimental title, even if it has some space to improve (human IA, environments with little interactivity, lame narrative...).

Bakeru is an action platformer with brilliant ideas underpinned by charming simplicity and a wonderful representation of Japanese culture. The variety offered throughout the adventure is a symptom of a familiar originality that will delight many Nintendo fans.

It's one of the longest, funniest and most complete puzzle games ever made. Either you look for solo fun or multiplayer madness, you'll find a delicatessen for your brains.

Mouse P.I. For Hire delivers exactly what it promises: direct, uninhibited action that is instantly accessible—and doubly enjoyable thanks to that blend of craftsmanship and humor that will have you bursting into laughter more than once.

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.

Dungeons of Hinterberg successfully combines the exploration and "dungeoning" of The Legend of Zelda saga, with the social simulation of the Persona saga. All this with a captivating style that makes you want to hop on a plane and go live in the Alps. If you like adventures, you can't miss it.

The original game was built on motion sensing controls, and finally we are able to enjoy this magic adventure with more conventional control, and higher resolution. Skyward Sword may not be the best Zelda, but it is still a great game, ten years after its original release.

F1 22 is very similar to the previous game, despite the change of rules in Formula 1 for this season. However, it is very competitive on track and its races faithfully reply the battles that Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes are having in the real world.

Even if we miss the creative side of LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy is still a very fun and solid platforming adventure for everyone, that offers a richer visual fest on PC (you will need a modern GPU to make it sing on PC). Maybe with more unique mechanics (as the musical levels) and a Friend Pass to share the game with a friend, would be even better.

A great compilation of Castlevania games, among the best you can find. If you prefer the classic gameplay over the 'metroidvania' style, you'll want to "bite".

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a complete game that serves its purpose to dazzle veterans and newbies. Although it has errors, its visual style, its combat and its successes when it comes to capturing the essence of the classic JRPG make this game a recommendable title.

You think you've seen everything the roguelike genre has to offer? Think again. With its blend of action, exploration and shop keeper simulator, Moonlighter is a breath of fresh air for the genre, and more complex than you might think thanks to the simplicity and great execution of all the mechanics.

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.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma manages to make the sum of its parts evolve a saga with several palpable problems. Some of these obstacles are still there, but anyone who wants a management and combat game with content has here a worthy representative... As long as you can overlook its deficient technical section.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a very good compilation of Ace Attorney games 4, 5 and 6 (also with Phoenix Wright), with improvements that were not in the previous remastered trilogy. That said, all the games in the series are almost identical: to know if you like them, try the first ones first and then finish the story with this one.

Simply put, Far Cry 5 is the best Far Cry game to date. It has the best story, the best progression and introduces a lot of changes (for the good) while maintaining that explosive old formula that works so freaking well. God Bless Hope County.

We love the art, the story, music and characters in Ni No Kuni II. It is a great J-RPG (which includes the three DLC previously released for PS4 and PC). The game runs at 30 FPS, with some drops, and resolution is also "downgraded" from the original.

One of the best Ghost'n Goblins-style gaming experiences created by one single person, Locomalito, who comes to Xbox One with a lot of improvements. The best retro-style game of today.

Fast RMX is a great racing arcade game that brings back the style and speed we enjoyed in F-Zero, Wipeout and Xtreme G. But this Switch version brings no improvement from the Wii U original.

Age of Empires IV makes a safe bet putting all in on series' classic gameplay, with some new things here and there, but not risking a cent. If you're an all time fan of AoE you'll enjoy it for sure, but if you were one of those waiting for a revolution on the series, or at least a step forward, here you won't find it.

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

If you liked Persona 5 (is there anyone who didn't?), Strikers should be a no-brainer choice. The gameplay isn't exactly our cup of tea, but the story is so interesting, the characters are so lovable and it just looks SO cool, that you would be mad if you didn't accept the Phantoms Thieves calling card.

Constance successfully combines the virtues of Hollow Knight and Celeste, resulting in a metroidvania that, even in a post-Silksong world, manages to thrill us.

An impressive shooter, both in its gameplay and technical elements, which lacks of content at launch, but promises lots of new maps, modes and weapons (free for everyone) in the coming months.

Three games that are as fresh and clever as the first time they released on the GBA. There's barely any improvement, and we lament the absence of a Spanish translation, but it is difficult to make an "objection" given the three games are finally releasing on every platform.

Fenyx Rising is a great adventure. An organic open world, full of surprises, with brilliant puzzles and combat mechanics, set in greek mythology. It is not Breath of the Wild, but it is close enough in many (good) things.

Ghost Town is one of the best adventures with puzzles that you can enjoy right now on Meta Quest. Its esoteric touch and great atmosphere, which don't look for player's jump scares, along with its enjoyable gameplay and puzzles, make it a must for fans of the genre, although it does suffer from being quite short.

A fascinating game in many aspects, that rewards the patient, curious player. An adventure worthy of the legendary franchise it comes from.

World of Warships is Wargaming’s newest Tactic MMO based upon World War II. It´s versatile and fun, but sometimes it feels too slow and we miss some graphic improvement, and of course, submarines.

The biggest, if not best, Call of Duty game yet. Black Ops 3 offers great multiplayer (with perfect balance in maps and weapons) and an ambitious campaign -sometimes confusing- with coop mode for 4 players. Zombies, Free Run mode, Nightmare mode and Dead Ops Arcade complete this experience, which seems too familiar for veteran players.

The Champions' Ballad is far from what we were expecting, especially story-wise, but any excuse is a good one to return to Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. The new shrines are great, and everything that happens at the end make up for any of the not-so-good elements.

God of War III Remastered is the same adventure from 2010, but smoother and with more detail. Don't expect new gameplay elements beyond the new photo mode because you won't find it and the DLC included doesn't expand the experience. A game that will be enjoyed, first and most, by the newcomers and Kratos' most loyal fans.

Black Myth Wukong falls a bit short of the legend of the Monkey King due to a few bugs and design decisions, but it manages to offer an action-adventure especially designed for souls fans and those who like to... beat the monkey.

Even after three games, HAL Laboratory is still able to introduce new skills, puzzles and challenges, now with a coop campaign. A game as simple as addictive, that even if it doesn't take the formula one step ahead, and without a very well known name behind, if offers a good chunk of accessible challenges for all kind of players.

Afordable Space Adventures is one of the best Wii U showcases. It uses the Wii U Gamepad as no other game has done before and it offers a bunch of intelligent puzzles and situations that will force you to think (and use all the spacecraft abilities) before act. It also offers a great atmosphere, light effects and a very, very enjoyable local multiplayer.

If you seek classic Japanese RPG in its most traditional way, you'll be fully satisfied with this superb Dragon Quest VII remake. An incredibly long adventure, lots of secrets, charismatic characters and a good variety of vocational classes.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is the greatest graphic marvel that can be found on consoles, but when it comes to playability it doesn't measure up and even falls short of the first. Yes, its "great graphics" are going to leave you with your jaw on the floor from start to finish... It's a shame that the same can't be said about other sections.

A frantic arcade game that returns with several improvements and a flashy 3D effect. A large array of new options are included to make old-school players happy. The rest of the crowd... may not be as interested.

"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.

Catherine Full Body on Switch is the very same game that we saw in 2019, with a little less graphical detail (appreciable especially when playing on TV) and slightly longer loading times. The rest is as enjoyable as on PS4, especially if you love weird puzzle games, and haven't joined this love triangle before...

Gears Tactics reinvents the saga moving from shooter to tactical strategy. It keeps the essence of third-person shooter, it's fast, wild and fun, despite some boring side missions.

If you like strategy and everything that makes Fire Emblem so great, then you are really going to love Three Hopes. Action keeps the same musou formula (for good and for bad), but it's a much deeper and bigger game than it seems on the surface.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 isn't a very original game but it's bigger, longer and funnier than the original one. It adds new game modes, maps and characters to a classic third person shoot ´em up gameplay.

An uber fun "rogue lite" wonderfully crafted by Blitworks' always virtuous hands for Nintendo Switch. An entertaining game that, even without adding new content, stills amazes with its gameplay, originality and humour. If you're looking for more "Dead Cell's" gameplay-wise, this is the real deal (and even, more humorous).

Both Metro 2033 and Last Light play great on Nintendo Switch, but some elements and game mechanics feel outdated. Nintendo Switch version runs at 30 fps and doesn´t reach 1080p resolution.

With Fire Emblem Engage, Nintendo Switch hosts one of the best SRPGs on the market in terms of combat. However, we see this game as a missed opportunity to present a rounded classic title due to its storyline. The shadow of Three Houses has played against this game, despite the fact that seeing Marth is always a reason to rejoice.

Bayonetta Origins stands out as a very interesting metroidvania that, without reinventing the wheel, does quite well everything it puts on the table, with a technical showcase that sometimes will make you doubt if you're playing it on a Switch, even with a few hiccups on the road. If you like this subgenre, you'll enjoy it from start to finish.

Winters' expansion it's an interesting add-on, even if it pales in front of what Capcom did with Resident Evil 7. It adds far less content, less varied and less surprising. And it's a shame, because Capcom have had way too much characters and stories to unfold, starting with the beloved Lady Dimitrescu.

Atelier Sophie 2 is an entertaining RPG, with enhanced visuals, joyful story and new gameplay additions and tweaks, that makes this new entry one of the most entertaining in Gust's atelier series. And that's no little achievement for a 25th anniversary, even if it arrives without Spanish translation and some tasks are a little bit chore.

With Fantasian: Neo Dimension, the father and the composer of Final Fantasy bring us a game that represents a return to the origins of the JRPG, but fails to live up to its own legend. It's a decent and entertaining adventure, with some interesting ideas, but it falls far short of the titans of the genre.

Football Manager 2017 is the best soccer manager simulator ever, but its new features are not good enough to forget its predecessor.

F1 25 does not set the fastest lap in the saga, but it does bring substantial improvements in terms of driving compared to F1 24 and bothers to add interesting and well polished content such as Braking Point 3 or the management additions of My Team.

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.

NBA 2K18 is unstoppable on the court. The new AI, graphics and improved gameplay are unmatched. My Team is better than ever with the salary cap, My GM feels fresh with his cinematic approach and we will be on the neighborhood for months. All of that, of course, if we have enough VC (money) to expend, cause it to feel like a pay-to-win too many times.

A really clever use of VR that makes us feel true horror. Also, a good mix of all the previous games, but the optimization for the DualShock is quite terrible.

Vitamin Connection is another great addition to Switch catalogue, a very joyful oriented to cooperation that is a wonderful Joy-Con's tech showcase. And it does it with a great audiovisual presentation and style. But bear in mind that it can result a little bit short, with lots of backtracking and some difficulty peaks.

A remarkable adventure and an excellent horror game. The way it mixes tension and brief reliefs will make you come back for more. And it also offers an engaging personal drama.

It's among the best launch titles for the Switch. Don't expect anything flashy. Instead, you'll find clever entertainment for everyone.

If it had motion controls, we would be talking about one of the best versions of one of the best games ever made. Without them, this is just a portable Resident Evil 4 (and honestly, that is pretty good).

Arc System Works and Wayforward found the perfect balance between nostalgic elements and new mechanics. River City Girls pays perfect homage to the brawler genre, incredibly fun to play (especially in couch co-op multiplayer).

Ys IX is a classic action RPG, with great exploration mechanics, an accessible combat system and a beautiful soundtrack. We love the story and new characters, but Nihon Falcom game also shows outdated graphics and some repetitive missions.

Card Shark is not a card game, it's one about cheating with them, with an interesting story and unique aesthetic. Even if it has some flaws and limitations, or if you think it's a collection of quick time events and minigames, it does it right, and in addictive fashion that will hook you till the end.

The Disney Infinity franchise has matured and become adult. Disney Infinity 3.0 is an entertaining adventure, full of action, lightsaber fights, space flights and familiar characters . All the power of Star Wars is in your hands. May the Force be with you.

Twelve years after its original release on PS2, Yakuza Kiwami is still a great adventure set in modern Japan. Some mechanics such as invisible walls or certain fighting elements feel outdated, but the story, setting and minigames are awesome.

La Mulana 1 & 2 return in a pack that will delight metroidvania lovers. Despite having some flaws, the adventures presented by these games are so iconic that it is very difficult to ignore them. A difficult game, but very well calculated to be tremendously satisfying.

Blood & Truth is one of the most intense action experiences on virtual reality. Period. Even with its limitations and lost opportunities, it's like a action blockbuster film, one in that you're the main character. It's a shame that if falls short, and that some mechanics, like climbing, doesn't work as the gunplay, because you'll stay wanting more.

Whether you're a veteran player of the franchise or not, there's plenty of fun to be had here. The changes mostly improve on the original, and Shadow's campaign is a real blast. That's how we like Sonic, friends of SEGA.

Sakuna unfolds as an original action J-RPG, that feels different and it's fun. if you connect with it, you'll find that it's hard to put it aside, even if it can fail in grind and repetition, everything it's well dosed and executed, without the usual problems found on other Nintendo Switch ports. A superb RPG surprise to finish this crazy year.

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.

Warhamer 40,000 Space Marine II lives between two worlds: on one hand, it's a kind of game that no longer exists; direct, wild and unpretentious. And on the other, it tries to adapt to current trends, not without some clumsiness. But that's really the least of it; you are here to cut tyranids in half with a chainsword… And no one does it better.

The jump to a platform of greater power such as Nintendo Switch seems to have played against Game Freak, but there is no denying that there are very good ideas and much needed changes. And, although it needs work, the Wild Area firmly establishes the foundation of the future of Pokémon.

Seven years after its original release, New Super Mario Bros U is still a great platform game, with lots of secrets, and incredibly fun to play in local multiplayer. DX doen't have many improvements from the original Wii U version.

Modern Warfare is one of the best war FPS of this generation thanks to a thrilling (yet controversial) campaign, great multiplayer in both coop and competitive modes, and a new game engine.

It has potential to become one the greatest space simulators, but controls with mouse and keyboard are awful and we miss planet exploration.

But Whole lands on Nintendo Switch retaining all the visual fidelity with the TV series, as does with its unique humor (now with the original voiceover from the animation). A great port that only suffers in one aspect: loading times are longer and a little bit often than in other versions. We also miss that this version doesn't include all the DLC.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is much more than "Team Ninja's Sekiro": the parry is a core mechanic, yes, but also the clever ability system and the way it encourages exploration. Combine this with the ever flawless gameplay of the studio, and the result is a great action game and an even greater first step for a new IP.

Final Fantasy VIII is one of the all-time best J-RPGs created by Square Enix, modern or classic. It showed amazing courage to make things different, with its own visual style, a wonderful OST... There are lots of things that make this a truly classics, all present in the remaster, even if some, like backgrounds, deserved a better treatment.

Two years after the PC release, The Final Station arrives to Nintendo Switch retaining the good and bad ideas. A pixelated 2D adventure that mixes little exploration/action areas in an apocalyptic world with some micromanagement on a train. But, soon, the mechanics get repetitive, with an irregular storyline plagued with errors in its translation.

A new Toys to Life made for the fans of the LEGO and of TT Games. It’s not cheap, but LEGO DImensions brings lots of fun with its impossible (but amazing) crossovers.

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.

Ready or Not is a first person shooter that hits the mark by offering a realistic and bloody vision of the criminal world. Its varied and numerous missions will keep you glued to the controller in this PS5 and Xbox X Series X|S version that establishes itself as a good port for one of the games that have most refreshed the genre recently.

The jump to a platform of greater power such as Nintendo Switch seems to have played against Game Freak, but there is no denying that there are very good ideas and much needed changes. And, although it needs work, the Wild Area firmly establishes the foundation of the future of Pokémon.

Metro Exodus is an excellent story-based shooter, which combines survival skills, exploration, stealth and combat. We love the post apocalyptic setting, based on the Metro novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky, and some open world elements.

Avowed is not Obsidian's masterpiece, but it is a competent and very enjoyable game that will please those looking for an RPG adventure that doesn't overwhelm with endless content. Perhaps it could have offered new ideas, but the familiarity of its approach does not detract from its quality. Only the ending may disappoint.

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.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Imagined Land is not the definitive installment of the saga, but its ideas and new approaches lead it to establish itself as a perfect entry to capture new fans looking to enjoy an unusual JRPG formula in the genre.

It's not the best version of the game, but it's the best possible port for Nintendo Switch. You'll miss the 60 fps and see the visual downgrade if you've played it on other platforms... but if that's not the case (you don't have other console or PC), or just wanna play DOOM Eternal anywhere, you'll enjoy it like on the rest of platforms.

Ace Combat 7 brings us 30 of the world´s most advanced war planes to engage different combat scenarios (escorting civilian planes, attacking refineries, evading enemy radar, facing an enemy ace...). Although it is an arcade, planes feel realistic and we enjoyed 8 player online mode and VR levels for PS4 version.

Monster Hunter arrives on Nintendo Switch with an installment practically unsurpassed. Perhaps we miss more changes or a more remarkable graphic face washing, but it's undeniable that hunting, in the old fashioned way, is better than ever.

RiME is a lesson of how to make video games. The soundtrack is a masterpiece, game mechanics are great and the story left no place to speculation. Without any doubt, one of the essential games of this year.

A very pleasant adventure that you will enjoy particularly in multiplayer. It recovers the right path from the previous game.

With fantastic remaster visuals and the same old gameplay (in both a good and a bad way), Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy can be enjoyed by everyone, but mostly those who grew up with the original games for the first PlayStation.
