The Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 bundle brings together two great adventures, updated in a pack that is highly recommended for those who are new to the series and want to start from the beginning. However, Kiwami 2 still has the same technical issues as in the PS4 version, although visually it is a delight, especially in portable mode.

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.

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.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Exile retains the strengths of its predecessor, correcting most of the errors and adding new features inspired by Tears of the Kingdom. The result is a game you come to for the large-scale battles and cosmic mayhem, but you stay to discover its captivating story that connects with the Zelda saga.

Arc Raiders follows in the footsteps of games such as Helldivers 2 to offer a complete, immersive multiplayer experience packed with detail and great creative decisions. This is a different kind of extraction shooter that lets you experience memorable matches and situations you never imagined.

Tales of Xillia Remastered is an ideal game for newcomers to the series and one of its standout entries. The remaster does little more than meet the basics, but it preserves the addictive gameplay, its innovative combat system, and a story that leaves a lasting impression.

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!!"

A noteworthy return of graphic adventures, that knows how to stick to the fundamentals while innovating in core details. Its difficulty may not please everyone, but its great humor sure hits the mark.

BALL x PIT is pure fun, like Dead Cells, Hades II, and other roguelites that have hit all the right notes. Its design draws on classics such as Arkanoid and bullet hell shmups, and the truth is that the mix works and is incredibly addictive. Perhaps the weakest part is the Sim city management part, but it's not the core.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage serves as the finale for a game with an amazing track record. The new single-player content, crossplay, and rollback netcode are great additions that allow players to continue enjoying its excellent gameplay. However, as a definitive edition, it could have been improved upon by removing payment barriers.

Even with all the quality-of-life and technical improvements, you can't help but notice how outdated these games are. Even so, any veteran will enjoy Dragon Quest I-II HD-2D as good "comfort food". You won't be surprised with them, nor disappointed.

We sincerely expected a disastrous game, but Double Dragon Revive is an OK-ish beat 'em up with some fresh ideas for the franchise. It's outdated and can't compete with the titans of the genre, but you'll have a good time if you are a veteran of the adventures of the Lee brothers.

Tormented Souls 2 manages to refine its deep and sincere homage to the great classic survival horror games. At times, it would have been nice to see a little more of its own originality, but what it does do is tasteful and of sufficient quality to establish itself as a game capable of winning over the most nostalgic fans.

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.

Once Upon a Katamari doesn't stray an inch from the classic formula of the series; in fact, it plays almost exactly the same. But it enriches the experience with more challenges, more distinct objectives, crazy levels, and competitive multiplayer for 4 players (including online). And all of this is sprinkled with the brand's trademark absurd humor.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a bloody return to the most straightforward hack 'n slash. It could have performed better in terms of variety and graphics, but its absolutely insane and perfectly measured combat makes it one of the most frenetic and special action games of the last decade.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Persona 3 Reload keeps the Atlus RPG experience intact. The only sacrifice is the performance reduction (30fps instead of 60fps), but in return, you gain the ability to play it anywhere... which is greatly appreciated in a game of this kind.

The final result offered by Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 gives us a glimpse of what could have been the best vampire game ever created. However, its many ideas do not quite come together as they should, and there are flaws in the execution. This leaves us with an enjoyable game that could have been irresistible.

Keeper is original, technically polished, and offers an engaging, organic narrative. The problem is that coming from Double Fine doesn’t spare it from competing with a multitude of other acclaimed indie titles. It’s clearly a deeply personal project, but that very quality might be what causes it to fly under the radar.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the next step in the series' mega-evolution, a title with fresh ideas, a spirit of renewal, and a desire to do things right. While there's still work to be done, this is the path future Pokémon games should follow.

Battlefield 6 manages to save the series by bringing back a multiplayer mode reminiscent of the best instalments. However, there is still work to be done. Some features are missing and the campaign is greatly underutilised. Fortunately, the foundations are solid for Portal and future seasons to round off a game with a promising future.

Absolum is one of the most polished and varied beat 'em ups of all time, which is saying something. Its progression system makes it endless to play. It's among the elite in 2025.

Co-op is a perfect fit for Little Nightmares III, enhancing the series' usual strengths, but the single-player experience has suffered as a result. So, playing it solo will be less enjoyable, while playing it with others can add a few points to your final score.

The overpopulation of games as a service is evident, so it's hard to stand out, but King of Meat is a beast of its own, thanks to its creativity, a noteworthy level design and a great care for solo play. Will this suffice to stand afloat for months? That will depend of how the users react to it, of course...

Digimon Story Time Stranger Digivolves into the game fans of the series have long deserved. Bandai Namco delivers a deeply addictive parenting and combat RPG that will make the hours fly by.

The compilation tribute to Mario's 40th anniversary leaves mixed feelings. They're still two great adventures, but there's also the feeling that more could have been done, both technically and in terms of content: there are no galleries of unreleased art, nor anything for fans of Mario games.

If you see this game as an "auteur" piece you might enjoy it, but its roguelite formula is too clunky and hostile to be enjoyed by the mass market.

EA Sports FC 26 manages to offer fresh, varied gameplay with a wide range of options for all types of players. It is the most polished instalment in this regard since the series stopped being called FIFA. However, the lack of new features in its game modes means that the leap to the game can be questioned much more.
