    DOOM: The Dark Ages
    Although it doesn't offer a campaign on the same level as Doom: Eternal, Doom: The Dark Ages is yet another success for iD Software since the reboot launched in 2016. Boosted by very welcome additions to the franchise, such as combat with mechs and the possibility of flying and fighting while controlling a dragon, the new chapter in the series is a must-have title for fans of FPS and action games in general. With a huge variety of weapons that completely change the combat, enemies with very different mechanics and maps with lots of secrets to explore, Doom: The Dark Ages is fun from start to finish. However, the gamble of diving too deeply into an uninteresting story with one-dimensional characters shows an exaggerated focus on an aspect that has never been the franchise's strong point. Even so, The Dark Ages seems to be the embryo of a new phase of Doom and stands out as one of the best FPSs of the new generation.

    Pokemon Pokopia
    Pokémon: Pokopia revitalizes the franchise by combining the creativity of Minecraft with the charm of Animal Crossing in a deep narrative. Despite suffering from long loading times on the Switch 2 and a slow, real-time-based pace, the freedom to rebuild cities and manage habitats is extremely rewarding. It's an innovative and necessary addition that, even with technical flaws, delivers an exciting and authentic experience.

    Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
    Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero honors the legacy of Budokai Tenkaichi and is a legitimate successor to the PlayStation game trilogy, in both a good and bad way. With a plethora of characters and transformations, agile gameplay and extravagant combos, the game sometimes falters with its camera system during fights and recounts the events of the anime in a somewhat rushed manner. Even so, the possibility of creating different outcomes for the most striking moments in Akira Toriyama's work adds a welcome touch of novelty to a game that, although far from perfect, impresses with its beautiful visuals and entertains with combats that seem straight out of the anime and a huge amount of content to be unlocked.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
    In the end, the simplicity in the modernization of some elements of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater left me frustrated, but even so, I loved revisiting one of my favorite games of all time with graphics and gameplay remodeled for today. Everything new in this remake makes it great, but what makes it incredible and a masterpiece is not the work of Virtuos, but rather Kojima Productions, which created a timeless game in 2004.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A
    Creatively different, Pokémon Legends: Z-A sets a new standard for the series by combining the identity of the anime with decades of expectations. The intimate concept of Lumiose, while still highlighting Game Freak's repetitive problems, brings more life to the world in which humans and Pokémon share the disappointments and joys of metropolitan life disrupted by incessant innovative battles.

    South of Midnight
    South of Midnight is one of the hits that Xbox Game Studios has been crying out for. With a simple but captivating narrative, the game presents good characters and moves you with clear and profound messages. Despite the somewhat repetitive combat, the game is fun in its simplicity and finds its brilliance in a restrained and great folkloric world, governed by beautiful songs and led by the excellent protagonist Hazel.

    The King of Fighters XV
    The King of Fighters XV may not be the best fighting game of the current generation of consoles, and it may not have the best graphics or visual style ever seen in the fighting game market, but it is certainly a fun game that will give fans enough reason to kill the nostalgia of the good arcade times. Its classic and new characters do the trick to bring lively and fierce disputes above all, especially with online modes that work and will make the battles pay for many hours.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is the fantastic fantasy version of Borderlands, and as the spinoff progresses, it closely remembers previous successes, which at times felt a little unoriginal. Thankfully, with excellent writing, hilarious performances from an all-star cast, and ridiculous combat shines and make this tabletop-inspired blast festival absolutely worth it.

    Triangle Strategy
    The game may not be at its best right away, but once Triangle Strategy really begins, it is surprisingly successful at telling a story based on real-world ideas like competition for resources and noble ambitions, and these human stories succeed and overcome even a rather uncomfortable main character. The game allows for meaningful choices while also including a voting system for party members that can override your wishes – based on self-established hindsight – in fascinating ways. Underlying it all is combat, which is simple, well-designed, and suitably challenging in all the right ways, Triangle Strategy may be silent in its grandeur, but it's still great.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
    It started out as a collection of the looser story ideas that seemed to go nowhere, but slowly but surely Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin pulled it all together and managed to keep it level - although you want to make sure you scour it for collectibles. If you want the full effect of your revelations, a solid and immersive action combat system can be tweaked to be as challenging as it is rewarding. Along with versatile character customization that lets you mix and match dozens of interchangeable jobs, your character fights as you see fit and gives you the ability to experiment and find a winning combination in one or three player co-op. There's significant room for improvement in the tools it offers to manage the avalanche of gear that drops on every mission, but the nods to Final Fantasy history sprinkled throughout its levels are enough to deflect attention from this sort of thing.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
    Unlike the last three movies, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga offers a fun game filled with funny retellings of the nine movie saga and keeps you entertained for hours and hours of gameplay.

    Pacific Drive
    Pacific Drive is a meticulous game that asks the player to perform a lot of tasks to deal with its many exploration, survival, crafting and customization systems. Offering a rich universe filled with questions and kind of a macabre awe that is definitely unique among many survival games that end up bringing the same chassis with a different skin, the Ironwood Studio game is a gem.

    Saviorless
    Saviorless is a great indie game with an abstract story that captivates you from start to finish, but it has a confusing and rushed ending, which is improved by the other endings available in its plot. In terms of gameplay, the game shines with platforming challenges that offer just the right amount of difficulty and will test your skills, especially during boss battles. The game is a pleasant surprise from a market that is just starting out in the electronic games industry and has everything it needs to grow.

    PRAGMATA
    Pragmata is a blend of Vanquish-esque aesthetics, a dash of Resident Evil — minus all the horror — in the final stretch, a good but clichéd story, unique and highly entertaining gameplay, and two protagonists who serve as the essential glue holding it all together. The game shines in its simplicity, excitement, and fun.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes has a lot going on both in combat and in its camp, and the result is a game that sometimes feels overloaded but never fails to satisfy.

    Mafia: The Old Country
    The prequel knows how to exploit its strengths, with a cinematic narrative full of tension. The setting in ancient Sicily is also one of its strengths, with an engaging atmosphere and a protagonist who carries the weight of his journey well. The game suffers from certain limitations with unrefined features, but even so, the story makes up for it with morally ambiguous choices that keep the player hooked until the end.

    SAROS
    Even with a lackluster story and an uncharismatic protagonist, Saros has secured its place among the best games of 2026 so far, thanks to its addictive, challenging, and frenetic gameplay, featuring fantastic battles that showcase all of Housemarque’s brilliance and expertise.

    Aether & Iron
    Aether & Iron delivers a narrative-driven noir adventure that can be both enjoyable and frustrating. This “decopunk” New York is beautiful, brutal, and sets the stage for great stories, even with some flaws in the pacing. Its combat is interesting enough to provide a break between episodes, but it’s up to the player to decide whether or not they’re in the mood to make the most of it.

    Mortal Kombat 1
    Mortal Kombat 1 is undeniably fun, well polished and visually spectacular, but the story is the worst we've had since the series first reboot. The Kameo system is a welcome addition, but the lack of The Krypt in favor of an Invasion mode doesn't do it any favors.

    Wanderstop
    Wanderstop transports the player to a very welcome moment of introspection, representing the experience of burnout. The highlight of the game is the story, which is very well written and provides great food for thought.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    Resident Evil Requiem combines the best that the franchise has had through 30 years on top of excellent protagonism from Grace and Leon. Unfortunately, the game falters in action sequences which are reminiscent of Resident Evil 6, the worst title in the saga, and stumbles slightly with a narrative that isn't as brilliant and sublime as its horror and gameplay. However, it still demonstrates the mastery that Capcom has maintained with the franchise since RE7: Biohazard (despite the misstep in RE3 Remake).

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins
    Dynasty Warriors: Origins greatly reduces the scope of playable characters by concentrating on a single protagonist, but with access to a huge arsenal at his disposal and an entertaining campaign from start to finish. The game once again stands out for its good story, beautiful visuals and great combat system, but the repetitiveness of the missions and the fact that the protagonist is overshadowed by all the historical characters in the series, such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Diao Chan and Guan Yu, prevent Koei Tecmo's hack and slash from reaching its full potential. Even so, the game shines with its gameplay, captivating plot and delivers the best title in the franchise since Dynasty Warriors 4.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment successfully expands on the story of Tears of the Kingdom in a satisfying way. The fun and chaotic gameplay is great and is the highlight of the game. Fortunately, thanks to the wide variety of characters, the game avoids the repetitiveness of its very similar objectives. Although it doesn't shine like the main titles, the narrative brings a new perspective to the War of Imprisonment. Learning more about each sage is charming, but even so, there is nothing that makes it a must-have title within The Legend of Zelda.

    RKGK / Rakugaki
    RKGK is a relatively short adventure, but it's an extremely satisfying and entertaining surprise. The game delivers visually with its eye-catching graffiti and exotic colors. The challenges are everywhere, and as stressful as they may be at certain levels, they will encourage players to tackle everything that lies ahead and revisit the worlds they have already completed in search of more challenges.

    NBA 2K23
    NBA 2K23 has it all. Its nostalgic ways massage the affection that more traditional NBA fans have for games and teams of the past, while also bringing a little bit of the history that turned the NBA into the emotional machine it is today. All of this combined with gameplay changes like improved spacing and better AI make this an ideal game for sports game fans. NBA 2K23 is indeed one of the best experiences for basketball fans in games, but please, stay away of its microtransactions. Particularly, we focus on the parts without it and that's the path for some real fun.

    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers a solid adventure faithful to the series' legacy, combining good exploration and puzzles that carry the essence of the saga. The game, however, suffers in portable mode, featuring somewhat dated graphics unworthy of such a highly anticipated release, but shines when docked and played on a good TV. The presence of AI-controlled allies is more charming than useful, and although the Vi-O-La motorcycle helps make the journey through Viewros less tiring, it works more as a remedy for a pacing problem than a genuinely exciting element. The price differences between Switch and Switch 2 also raise the question of whether the improvements justify the additional cost, especially when some of them seem to merely mitigate technical limitations.

    MARVEL Cosmic Invasion
    Even though it's not the best beat 'em up released in recent years, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is another hit in this era of revival of the genre that was all the rage in arcades in the 1990s. The game from Tribute Games and Dotemu shines mainly with its huge variety of characters and, above all, play styles, offering an extremely fun campaign from start to finish. Although the levels often feel repetitive and the game offers a small variety of enemies given the length of the campaign, these minor issues do not detract from the creative merits of a game that feels like a real living comic book. At a time when several classic beat 'em up franchises have returned with great games, from Streets of Rage to Ninja Turtles, Marvel Cosmic Invasion joins this new wave of great successes even though it is not the pinnacle of the genre.

    Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club
    Emio - The Smiling Man comes up short being too simple, but it's a very well-constructed game in terms of both graphics and storyline. Despite a few stumbles in the choice of dialogue development, the game progresses to a surprising conclusion and leaves no loose ends.

    Stray
    Stray is a delightful adventure set in a dark but endearingly hopeful cyberpunk world for the simple fact that you play as an adorable cat at all times. Its combination of simple platforming and puzzle-solving with item hunting quests is beautifully balanced throughout this five-hour storyline, while its new ideas help keep things as fresh as a delicious fish.

    F1 22
    With a deep and rich career mode, and the vast amount of assist and difficulty options, F1 22 remains the best racing game in the series, as well as being the most complete and accessible reproduction of a single modern motorsport in the market - not to mention that adjustments to some of its most reused elements also make a difference. This year's edition isn't quite as bold as F1 2021, though, and the F1 Life mode, frankly, with its focus on footwear and furniture, certainly isn't even a bandage to cover the lack of the F1's ambitious story mode from last year.
