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.

Ghost of Yotei is a consummate revenge game with which Sucker Punch dares to present an open world with good ideas that come close to fitting together perfectly. Dazzling in its visuals, powerful in its narrative, and sharp in its combat. Yotei is almost as precise as a katana slash.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 revives the classic from the PS2 era and updates it with major improvements. Its visuals can’t fully hide the fact that the original is over 20 years old, and the controls could be tighter, but it more than makes up for it with excellent gameplay, a challenging progression, and a great sense of humor.

More fun, bigger, sexier, and even more addictive than its predecessor, Hades II is pure witchcraft. As a game, it excels in every department, and as a sequel, it strikes a great balance between familiarity and significant new features... But I wish I could stop time so I could keep playing forever.

Final Fantasy Tactics returns in a bittersweet way: it remains a true SRPG gem, with a world, characters, and story that dwarf even current titles. But the lack of a Spanish translation, after so many years, hurts more than seeing your favorite character betrayed.

Konami has been brave in rethinking the series' setting and certain gameplay schemes, and for us, the move has paid off. Silent Hill F is a game that draws you in irresistibly and even compels you to replay it. Based on its atmosphere, gameplay, and plot, it's a true horror hit in 2025.

Dying Light The Beast doesn't reinvent the wheel or introduce changes that revolutionize the series, but it polishes many aspects, enriches others, and adds enough new features (new map, greater vehicle weight, etc.) to make the experience feel fresh, and it succeeds. And, most importantly, it's still as fun as it was on the first day.

With Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Sonic Team delivers its most dazzling entry yet — a game that puts fun first for players of all ages, whether casual fans or seasoned racers. A bit more content could have elevated it further, but it still manages to be highly enjoyable both solo and with friends.

You can tell there's a big effort to give personality to the main fights and we are thankful for some new ideas, but all of this is scattered among some more derivative sidequests and objetives. If you got the DLC for free with your pre-order, give it a chance. If you have to pay 25 bucks for it... Maybe it's wiser to wait for a discount.

If you're into roguelikes, you're likely to enjoy DK Isle + Emerald Rush, with its secrets and unlockables, although those who don't see the appeal of this gameplay formula may find it a little lacking in new content. At least it has plenty of nods and curiosities for fans of the series.

Hollow Knight Silksong is an extraordinary achievement in video gaming, an unforgettable work born from an unparalleled creative conglomerate. Silksong is the refinement of a masterpiece.

Borderlands 4 establishes itself as a well-rounded entry that offers updated and tremendously fun gameplay. A lackluster campaign and a somewhat generic open world prevent it from reaching its full potential, but this is a looter shooter capable of standing alongside the best in the genre.

One of the most risky, surreal and unclassifiable adventures we've seen. Ideal for those who love the movies by Lynch or Aronofsky. Its technical issues burden the experience, but you still should play this twisted and dark vision of the world.

The Star Wars Outlaws port shines on Nintendo Switch 2 with technical quality that rivals other platforms, offering the appeal of being able to play anywhere, and with better results than on devices such as Steam Deck. This port raises the bar for what Nintendo Switch 2 can do, even if it is at 30 fps.

NBA 2K26 offers interesting additions in terms of gameplay while further refining its audiovisual aspects. However, in terms of modes, it doesn't offer much and continues to be weighed down by the usual problems. If you avoid falling into its tedious systems and microtransactions, you'll find yourself with a good basketball game.

Despite its technical flaws, its chessy dialogue, its repetitive missions... despite everything, Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion has managed to entertain me with its fun battles and its countless options for turning us into a machine of mass destruction, although it is far from being the mecha game we were hoping for.

Even with all its flaws, Lost Soul Aside is a great action game that perfectly understands the key elements of hack-and-slash gameplay: depth, combos, and constant spectacle. If you love the genre and have been lamenting its absence for years, here's the game that paves the way for its return.

The leap into action has been a fabulous success for Bloober, who has created another adventure that every science fiction and horror fan should try.

Metal Eden is a relentless first-person shooter, defined by the versatility of its protagonist, turning every skirmish into a showcase of skill. Though its length is brief and its visuals are not AAA-level, it manages to shine thanks to its gameplay and an engaging story.

With its combination of Souls-like combat, unguided exploration, Resident Evil-esque puzzles, and Zelda-esque dungeon crawling, Hell is Us is one of the most gritty, challenging, and surprising experiences of the year.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + The Astral World is the definitive version of one of the most creative platformers of recent years. New levels, necessary technical improvements, and more content overall reinforce an already well-rounded game. No matter how much he eats, Kirby never gets full.
