    Starfield is an RPG that brings the best out of previous Bethesda games with the best sci-fi narrative about space ever created. With elements inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar, a game about space has never been this grand and with such satisfying exploration until now. The team led by Todd Howard can be proud of the fantastic work they've put out.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is an exceptionally well-written game with breathtaking visuals and charming NPCs. The game's combat is creative and allows all sorts of maneuvers that you can think of. Larian Studios's CRPG shows that the genre can be accessible and brings the best out of Dungeons & Dragons: a universe of peculiar beings that unite under a greater good.

    Pikmin 4 will please players from all ages, whether they're longtime fans or not. With few hours of main story, anyone can get lost in the huge levels and in the cuteness of its characters. But even allowing a lot of freedom, the game may leave players feeling stuck on repetitive missions.

    More than a simple homage to 90s RPGs, Sea of Stars is a game that shines on its own using a well known formula, creating its own identity. The spectacular art direction, level design rich in details and charismatic characters make a perfect match with a combat system that is simple yet rich in options. Sea of Stars is, in essence, a turn-based RPG as brilliant as the classics.

    The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a gem among indie games and one of the best narrative driven games I've played. There wasn't one boring moment in the entire story and I got emotional several times from start to finish. Deconstructeam was simply excellent in everything it tried to with this game.

    While Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has exciting combat, it also has a shallow story, not a whole lot of extra content after the main campaign and a difficulty level that is not rewarding at all. While it may be the dream of mecha enthusiasts all around, it doesn't do much to draw in new players or introduce them to a new world.

    Blasphemous 2 isn't blasphemous at all in being an excellent soulslike and metroidvania. The game delivers a solid campaign, excellent stages, bosses that will give you a hard time and top-notch challenging combat encounters. While the difficulty may prove frustrating to some, the game is well balanced and strong candidate to indie game of the year.

    Stray Gods is the narrative-driven game you needed and didn't know. With a captivating story, striking characters and a haunting mystery, the musical RPG dazzles the player easily and lets you decide the path to follow.

    Oxenfree II: Lost Signals doesn't innovate much on gameplay and when it tries to, it could've done better. However, the story touches on heavy themes of grief and belonging while giving closure to its predecessor. Offering choices that escape the 'good versus evil' dichotomy, the game is an allegory to accepting what is outside our control.

    Final Fantasy XVI is a game from the franchise worthy of a new generation of consoles, and its combination of classic and modern brings everything we love with what we didn't know we needed. It's strong, tense, exciting, revealing, it's a mix of feelings, places and stories. Clive's (anti-)hero journey, the people he encounters along the way, the weight of decisions, all culminate in a tale that moves and excites. And all that combined with a diverse and fun combat, and the beauty of the whole that this game is makes this a necessary title for any fan of the franchise or a good action RPG.

    New game from the most impactful franchise in the history of fighting games, Street Fighter 6 accomplishes everything it sets out to do almost perfectly. The game shines for its diverse and accessible gameplay, stands out for its excellent art direction and soundtrack, and offers many possibilities in World Tour mode. The game's story is the only truly weak point of a title that was born as one of the best fighting games in history.

    Tears of the Kingdom is a sequel that knows how to present new things and adds more lore to the incredible universe of Zelda. Islands with a sense of freedom, exciting game, and twists from start to finish will make you play for countless hours in this game and its immensity.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake has what it takes to be our favorite action game of 2023. While it doesn't have the industry impact that RE 4 did, and it doesn't rewrite how Remakes should be (like RE 2 did), it's an excellent game, which deserves to be appreciated by everyone, whether or not they are lovers of the franchise. The bestiary of creatures, its action-packed story, and its rich, action-packed world make so many improvements over the original that it's well worth a ticket to revisit this darker-than-ever universe.

    Harvestella is ideal for anyone looking for a game with the peace of mind of a farm simulator and the challenge of combat. You'll likely feel a mix of relaxation and excitement as you tend to crops and fight off threats, all while trying to uncover the truth behind the mysterious "death station", Quietus.

    Hogwarts Legacy is an extremely fun adventure, despite having some graphic and narrative difficulties. In the vast open world, which makes it possible to explore popular locations and live like a typical Hogwarts student, you will face interesting challenges in the path of unraveling the main mystery of the game. Even though it's an exciting adventure, even a muggle like me manages, at a certain point, to miss a greater magic to deliver everything that the fans expected.

    Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are excellent games, and, if it weren't for the technical problems, they would surpass the feats of Legends: Arceus, which started a necessary evolution in the classic Nintendo franchise. The game features a beautiful open world full of Pokémon, so you never feel like you're exploring something empty. The Pokémon campaigns finally showed an interesting maturity, which seems to want to keep up with the audience that has so much prestige to the series since 1995, without losing the children's audience that still drives purchases. However, most of Scarlet & Violet's potential is wasted simply by avoidable technical issues such as a lack of graphical and performance polish. A game of this relevance within a franchise of this magnitude cannot succumb to repeating these mistakes and not improving, especially in light of the criticism that the latest title has had.

    Sonic Frontiers takes some risks, and that's good. Even in a bizarre way, it is an evolution of the franchise that brings new air and hope for the subsequent content. If you're a Sonic fan or an adventurer, you're sure to enjoy what this brave new open world includes. From the presence of classic stages to silly but enjoyable minigames, the new things are fresh air to the playground of possibilities that Sonic can run through. And even with its flaws and oddities (a bunch of them), I'll be back running through the fields of Frontiers to find what was missing in my first playthrough.

    God of War Ragnarok is beautiful, rich, exciting, and even bigger and better than the 2018 adventure, which shows that passion and quality work has gone into its creators. I had many doubts about whether a sequel to something that reinvented the wheel of the god of war would be able to surpass its predecessor and admit, with great pleasure, that I was wrong. This is a must-do adventure for action-adventure fans, and probably Kratos' best adventure in a video game. It's a work of art, a retelling of the hero's journey and a game that delivers on everything it promised and more, and serves as an excellent conclusion to the Norse arc of Kratos and Atreus.

    Overwatch 2 fulfills the mission of breathing new life into what was once one of the best multiplayer shooter, before falling into great oblivion because of Blizzard's lack of attention. Switching to 5v5 matches ushers in a new era in Overwatch battles and abilities, where one-on-one duels take precedence over tactical team play. New heroes and maps freshen up the environment, while the Push mode could become a fan favorite. Overwatch has everything to shine again, as long as it gets the attention its competitors have done. We can't gauge what Overwatch 2 could be, we can judge what's in front of us at launch - and this is a team-based FPS that's quite fun, full of charm and love for its universe, and one that we can't wait to see more by keep playing.

    EA took great care and brought a farewell worthy of the last FIFA. FIFA 23 brings a lot of interesting new features, cameos - like the members of Ted Lasso -, gameplay improvements that really add to the game, not to mention it's actually much better looking than the previous games. The really first FIFA of the new generation of consoles will also be the last, and while it brings some of the frustrations already known to fans, it will be a good gateway to the next generation of EA football games.

    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.

    Splatoon 3's single-player campaign captivated me with the freedom of choice, which allows me to explore as much of its game as I want, and I can't remember a moment where I didn't want to. Even with the (unfortunate) issue of the same familiar enemies, the stage design, the smart objectives and bosses, full of personality, and the art that made me admire different aspects of the game and the choices of its creative team, keep things fresh, enough to always want to get back in the game.

    Dusk Falls brings a branching narrative that takes full advantage of the style of animations in comic book form, which gives us the opportunity to fill the empty space with our imagination - and this works in such a way that it makes the experience even more impressive, with its many multiple choices combined with the emotional intensity of its expressive voice cast. A masterpiece of the genre.

    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.

    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.

    Even though it's short, Trek to Yomi's journey is very interesting and captivating. With an art style inspired by monochrome Japanese films, this adventure has enough interesting paintings to make up for your slips. Its combat is interesting and easily mastered, while exploration and puzzles aren't the most challenging in the world.

    When Nintendo Switch Sports was announced, I was ecstatic. When Nintendo provided the code for this review, I couldn't stop smiling. However, when I opened the game and started playing it, I embarked on a nostalgic adventure that took me to simpler and happier times. However, it was towards the end of my evaluation period that I really understood that Nintendo Switch Sports had accomplished the mission. When bringing the game back to the IGN Brasil newsroom, I could see the other team members gathered, curious about the game and looking forward to testing it. Upon defeating a friend, smiles opened, simulations of sports narrations took the place of the sound of keys being pressed and the purest happiness took over the environment. Yes, there are modes missing for a game of this importance and with the price range that It's commercialized, and not all of the ones available have pleased me, but the truth is that I've already fit Switch Sports into my routine, like my daily exercise session.
