    The Last of Us Part II
    After going through the valley of the shadow of death, The Last of Us Part II comes out as a wayfaring stranger from future days. It's a technical and narrative triumph that defies some of the most basic concepts of the video game. It's brutally beautiful and painfully violent, it's capable of the best and the worst. It's a masterpiece.

    Red Dead Redemption 2
    Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC expands what we saw on consoles a year ago. It brings new content for the campaign in the form of new weapons and missions, as well as a very entertaining photo mode. Technically it's superb and the mouse+keyboard control fits like a glove.

    Elden Ring
    Instead of a new IP, Elden Ring feels like a swan song; the culmination of 13 years refining a genre. All the ideas and lessons of FromSoftware latest works converge inside the biggest, richest and exquisitely designed open world we've ever set foot on. It honestly feels like a game that won't be surpassed for years.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
    Tears of the Kingdom brings together the power of adventure, the wisdom of freedom and the courage of creativity, without forgetting what makes The Legend of Zelda so special: the epic moments and the ability to thrill.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    If you love RPGs and didn't play it on PS4, don't waste a second: P5R it's an essential take on the genre. As simple as that. And it doesn't matter if you play it on PC (a great 4K@120 fps port) or on the go on Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch (with its technical differences). It's one of those games that will hook you up 'till the end.

    Forza Horizon 5
    I don't know if there the ultimate arcade racing game exists, but Forza Horizon 5 is the closest thing to that definition. It has it all, from a captivating open world to more options, competitions, events and cars than you can imagine. It's the perfect “playground” for any speed fan, and on PS5, occasional stuttering aside, performs great.

    Baldur's Gate 3
    Baldur's Gate 3 is an outstanding role-playing game, both in terms of its gameplay and its technical aspects (still with areas to be polished via patch), one that, moreover, is destined to become one of the benchmarks of the genre for taking some ideas, such as the election system and its reactive world, to a level that others have not even dreamed of.

    God of War
    Every single aspect in God of War works perfectly in order to create a violent, yet moving masterpiece. Probably the best looking game on current gen consoles and a deep story, whose only weak point is that we get the feeling that the best is yet to come.

    Dragon Quest XI Echoes of an Elusive Age is as much of an homage to the older Dragon Quest titles as it is a new step forward for the series. With a great story, a superb set of characters and loads of content to discover, Dragon Quest XI is one of the best JRPGs to come out in recent years.

    God of War
    God of War lands on PC with a great port, very smooth, with improved graphics and a good chunk of visual settings that helps to elevate even more the myth of this great, although imperfect, adventure: it doesn't take advantage of all the PC brute force (there is no ray tracing) and mice and keyboard control isn't very enjoyable (at least for us).

    Even if it is mostly the same game we had on the PS4 and PC, it still shines and the abundant new content maintains its freshness. And even if its visuals do not reach what we saw on the other versions (which is logical), it gets close and it is an adaptation with great merit for the Switch.

    Alan Wake II
    Alan Wake 2 is a brilliant survival horror that combines the surrealism of Twin Peaks, the investigations of True Detective and the paranormal elements of the SCP Foundation, but it is also the new graphical ceiling of the generation. And above all, it's a Remedy game; and it is glorious.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    As the song goes, “Donkey Kong is here” and he’s here ready to rock the boat. The gorilla’s new adventure boasts being one of the first must-have games for Nintendo Switch 2 and a title on par with the Japanese company’s greatest series. This is the kind of “kongtent” that a new console deserves.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X
    If you value a long experience in which great satisfactions come little by little, you should consider getting a Wii U for this game.

    Metroid: Samus Returns
    Samus returns with an adventure that it's an example of how all remakes should be, respecting the original game, honoring the classics and adding a pinch from the latest games. Samus Returns is not only a great Metroid game: is also one of the best titles for the Nintendo 3DS.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
    If it was already a special game on Wii U, now, thanks to all the changes, new features, and—above all—the epilogue, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is also one of the best JRPGs on Nintendo Switch. An adventure as colossal as a giant robot and as unforgettable as an alien planet you don't want to leave.

    NBA 2K16
    NBA 2K16 is the best sports game of the year without any doubt. Visual Concepts shows everyone how to innovate in a genre where it's quite easy to get lazy. The ring belongs to it, my precious.

    Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
    We love Yakuza´s story, its locations that seem "alive" and its many minigames (including classic Sega arcades such as Puyo Puyo, Virtua Fighter 5 or Super Hang On). The song of Life is the perfect ending for this saga.

    Sonic Mania
    Christian Whitehead deserves an ovation for bringing back a fast hedgehog who had been injured for a long while. Sonic Mania is a worthy heir to the five amazing 2D platformers the porcupine starred in on Mega Drive.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a metroidvania like no other. It is beautiful, emotional, fun, varied, intense… Moon Studios has taken the formula of the first game and has evolved it in the right way.

A great conversion of a superb metroidvania.

    Shadow of the Colossus
    One of the most memorable adventures of all time returns with a complete remake that enhances the experience in all the possible ways you can imagine, not only visual: it even adds new content and tons of unlockables that will make fans and newcomers even happier. A classic adventure that still amazes twelve years after it's original release.

    The Last of Us Part II Remastered
    The Last of Us 2 arrives on PC without the first game's drama, with a fairly well-optimized port that is perfectly playable on portable devices. If you have a good graphic card, get ready for a really impressive visual spectacle, even without ray tracing, or other technical wizardry of the most modern GPUs.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth successfully recreates the original title, elevating this part of the story to new levels and betting on a game format that, without being particularly innovative, works wonderfully. It is immense, fun, emotional and very varied, but above all it is a fantastic remake that keeps its promises.

    Marathon
    Marathon's return as an extraction shooter had everything stacked against it... But Bungie always hits the mark. The studio's three strengths mesh perfectly with the extraction formula, resulting in a game you always want to play again. [Review in Progress]

    Pokemon Shield
    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.

    Grounded 2
    Grounded 2 is almost the ultimate survival game featuring tiny teenagers who have lost their way in a park. It retains the best features of the original and adds cool new elements such as the buggies, but it could be even better if the technical glitches were fixed and the pace of future updates was maintained.

    inZOI
    Even in early access, InZOI convinces with the amount of options, editors and possibilities it offers at launch, even more so with the promise of more content and improvements, and launching at a reasonable price. If the studio continues to improve what it already has achieved, and takes care with the DLC pricing policy, yes, The Sims can tremble. [Early Access Score = 85]

    Palworld
    Palworld is an entertaining game if you connect with its survival and monster-catching mechanics, and its gameplay loop. But, at the same time, it's easy to feel that it's not original, that it doesn't do anything you haven't seen before, and that it crosses some red lines by drawing inspiration from certain games. [Early Access Score = 79]
