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.

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.

Joe Musashi re-emerges from the shadows to reclaim his title as a shinobi master with a smash-hit game that combines the depth and speed of modern hack-and-slash gameplay with the progression and arcade structure of classic titles. Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is one of the best 2D action games of 2025.

Konami hasn't taken too many risks with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a very conservative reworking of the PS2 classic. But they've managed to enhance the original game's strengths, as its gameplay, setting, story, and characters still have the same impact in 2025 as they did 20 years ago.

Drag x Drive's control scheme and gameplay concept are solid and they work really well. Nevertheless, we have our doubts about the game's appeal in the long run: we want more environments, tournaments and local multiplayer.

Mafia: The Old Country offers a remarkable narrative and atmospheric mob drama, hampered by uneven technical skills. While its gameplay is a bit simplistic, it should satisfy those looking for a straightforward, fast-paced, and enjoyable game.

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.

In our opinion, The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a very pleasant improvement on the first Kimetsu no Yaiba-based fighting game, although it still has some minor issues with performance and design. However, it's a good game for fans of the series, even if it's the one that should have been released in 2021.

The Game Kitchen shows its love for the golden age of 16-bit action with an irresistible game, featuring fabulous design and pace.

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. [Early Access Score = 84]

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game is quite simple as a social simulator, because of its simple mechanics and its monotonous gameplay loop, but it gets to make you feel like a hobbit, with your heart lying in peace and quiet and good tilled earth.
