Eidos Montréal gives us one of the most interesting narrative games of recent times, always taking advantage of the medium's own tools to narrate. Knowledge and affection for the characters, entertaining combat, incessant surprises... one of the best of the year.

Spider-Man 2 learns from its predecessors and perfects the formula. It's a game that doesn't mess around, and stands on an interesting story, amazing movement mechanics and action-packed combat. Pure and raw fun, a sequel worth playing.

Dying Light: The Beast surpasses Techland's previous work with a very complete first-person offering. Zombies of all kinds, lots of weapons without turning the experience into a looter shooter, and a great campaign to play solo or with a friend are the roof of a structure that rests on the solid foundations of gameplay. Running, driving, jumping, fighting, and surviving in The Beast is tremendously fun, all in a beautiful, unique setting full of different areas that invite exploration and encourage you to visit every corner. A very good comeback that leaves me satisfied as a fan of Techland's zombies since the first Dead Island and, of course, the first Dying Light.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an adventure RPG for Nintendo Switch that stands out for its snappy storytelling, charismatic characters and charming humour. Players explore different islands, solve puzzles and engage in turn-based combat that requires good timing.

Assassin's Creed Origins manages to combine familiarity with revolution. Its RPG mechanics, new combat system and equiment management make you feel a fresh enough experience. The map is huge, beautiful and detailed, supported by an outstanding artistic direction. Unfortunately, the narrative fails to captivate us to make it closer to perfection.

Armored Core VI is a game that delivers what it promises: it is fun, difficult and satisfying throughout. With some conceptual errors in its design it proposes a futuristic dystopian world that is far from the dark fantasy works that have made FromSoftware get to where it is, but with a clear objective: Fires of Rubicon will be the Dark Souls of its saga, not because of its resemblance to this one but because it has the same ambition. With a unique gameplay in its genre and an extraordinary setting, it has everything it needs to become a mass phenomenon.

Demon's Souls on PS5 leads the launch of a next-generation console while lovingly respecting the original work of 2009. One of the best remakes of all time.

Gears delves into the turn-based strategy genre with a game that is extremely faithful to the core saga, fun shooting that keeps the essence of what was played in the third person, but somewhat repetitive after a few hours.

Dispatch is the perfect example that superhero stories can still captivate us. It has a plot full of hilarious moments and unexpected twists that you can shape with your choices. On top of that, there’s a more strategic side that brings you even closer to its charismatic characters. In summary, the game developed by AdHoc Studio is another gem of 2025.

Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the best fighting games of recent years. A new high point for the series in the form of reimagining, ideal for neophytes and brimming with affection for his legacy for veterans.

One of the best manager sims that we've seen lately. Despite its mobile origins Motorsport Manager is deep, fun and beautiful... but only recommendable to F1 fans.

Forza Horizon 5 once again demonstrates Playground's mastery with an Xbox and PC exclusive that sets a new technological standard in the genre.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is an excellent combination of art, gameplay and story. A game that imbues care in each of its elements. Meve is the new awesome and badass character in The Witcher universe.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 mixes all the ingredients we've seen for years in RPGs and combines them into an unfamiliar, but very enjoyable new recipe. It's hard to get into, but once you do, there's no turning back.

XCOM 2 is exactly what the fans of XCOM were expecting.

Like the previous game, Neva is a delight to the eye and a real hug to the soul. Nomada Studio bets this time on a story with small doses of action, and it's as touching as Gris, but it never leaves its own path. Everything, from the sounds of the forest to Alba's swords, feels delicate. It's a rich world you'll never want to leave.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is a great sequel, one of those that know how to expand a remarkable base to reach excellence. Accessible, but deep, and with a very accurate rhythm, the latest from Ubisoft Milan consolidates the Rabbids experiment in the Mushroom Kingdom, delivering a title that will please fans of the genre and will discover it to many others.

An excellent game that's better than its first iteration in every respect. One of the best fighting games that we have seen in a while.

Halo Infinite recovers all the epic feel of the first installments in a title that seems to want to act as a connection with the future of the saga.

Resident Evil 4: Remake manages to improve the original proposal becoming one of the best titles in the series by its own merits.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a must-have roguelite for fans of the genre. While not revolutionary, it introduces several enriching features to a well-known formula.

You'll find few games better than this one for playing with a friend, but if you're a lonely player, there's not much here for you.

If you liked Origins, you'll love Odyssey even though its novelties do not end up having the importance that they should.

Vanillaware lives up to its reputation by giving us one of the best strategy games of recent years. It may not be perfect, but it borders on perfection slightly, offering us in the process an experience that I could qualify as sublime.

Hearts of Iron IV goes further than any other Paradox game. One of the best war simulators games ever made.

11 Bit Studios delivers its best project to date with The Alters. Become the humble builder Jan Dolski and survive on an extreme planet while fleeing the dawn. Exploration, action, decisions, management, and strategy are the keys to a title that cleverly blends various components, giving the experience a very original touch. Play with the fabric of time, manipulate the universe at quantum levels, and perform scientific magic as you try to keep your crew alive and return home safely.

Dave The Diver is a great adventure of underwater exploration, management and improvement that will make you smile at every new step you take in its proposal. RPG and roguelike elements come together to create something different, original and very fun that goes beyond, far beyond what its simple appearance seems to indicate.

Ghost of Yotei doesn't take many risks, but it has the advantage of being built on a fantastic foundation. This sequel adds some very interesting features that improve the experience many of us enjoyed in Tsushima. Sucker Punch brings a well-rounded character, reactive and visceral combat, and a beautiful open world perfect to get lost in.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder exceeds expectations. Get ready for endless fun playing a game that feels more Super Mario Bros. than ever, even while introducing important new features.

Finally Nintendo Switch receives a high level port. L.A Noire was ahead of his time and still looks great. Its complex narrative not only delves into a genre not too common as the detective, but also is a crude reflection of the USA after the Second World War. A must-have.

A gigantic love letter to one of the most beloved and relevant universes of youth literature, and one of the best games of the year.

BioWare manages to recover in Dragon Age: The Veilguard the good tone of his youth with a proposal that convinces by the good work of the team. A deep story that returns us to a magical world of Thedas whose regions reinvent themselves for the occasion. A very well designed combat and the possibility of exploring in depth the different scenarios as we advance in the adventure are the finishing touch of an experience that leaves us more than satisfied.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a fantastic adventure, which understands perfectly the franchise that we all love. A game that oozes charisma and manages to put you in Indy's shoes with puzles in lost civilisations and dozens of secrets to discover. A real treat to end 2024 on a high note.

Rise of the Ronin is the culmination of the combat formula that Team Ninja has using since Nioh. A beautiful game, complex and simple at the same time, and a lot of fun. Katanas and firearms to close a a great first quarter of the year for PlayStation.

An adventure that's almost an instant classic and plays almost as good as it looks. And with a horribly low price. You have to try it.

Ghostrunner is one of the best surprises of 2020. A must-have for lovers of fast skill experiences but not for the impatient ones.

Brilliant level design that reimagines the base game: astral flowers and new transformations elevate the pace and verticality. Some sections with Cartel get stuck, but the smile doesn't fade.

Halo Wars 2 is an excellent game for Halo fns and for the fans of RTS games with little to no flaws.

Obsidian returns to its role-playing roots and, after Avowed, which focused on combat mechanics, and the brilliant Grounded 2, which focused on survival and exploration, recaptures that special something that made us fall in love with New Vegas. A capital-letter RPG that offers a multitude of options when it comes to creating our character, following our path, and achieving the best ending based on our tastes and decisions. Its improved combat, more than stable performance, and character and level design on par with its multiple stories put the finishing touch on a sequel that improves on its predecessor in every way.

Resident Evil 3 Remake does a great job of reclaiming the potential the original already had, one of the franchise's most underrated installments. Some extra modes or replayability variety would have been welcome.

Far Cry 6 keeps the spirit of the saga but seeks to innovate with new mechanics that try to leave behind what no longer works or tires the player.

Solium Infernum brings its own unique take on turn-based strategy, not so much in substance as in form, but in an equally satisfying way. Its strong focus on gameplay based on political and diplomatic decisions gives it a unique flavour that shines especially in its multiplayer aspect.

One nice return, despite leaving some core features behind. Halo 5: Guardians manages to entertain and sets the basis for the franchise's future.

Pikmin 4 is a sequel lives up to the saga, an expansion that naturally integrates a greater amount of content, presenting new mechanics that, through Ochín, enable the creation of new challenges. A must have for the fan of the saga, and a great sequel which is perfectly capable of attracting new looks.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looks amazing on Sony consoles. A new opportunity to dive into an adventure you will never forget. A shinning jewel for the PS5 catalog.

Improves everything that made Shadow of Mordor an excellent game but makes new mistakes with pacing and with its narrative. Again, an excellent (and deeper) game.

Maybe the best racing game of the year, but it could have been better with a more polished campaign and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle.

Its blend of humor and great characters perfectly complements the universe created by Gearbox. The best of Telltale since the first season of The Walking Dead.

Wargroove is going to become, in its own right, the spiritual successor of Advance Wars.

One of the best indie games of the year -so far-, and a modern reminder of everything that made Tony Hawk's games a sure hit. Still waiting the split screen mode.

A true racing simulator that may not be appealing for every player, but manages to offer a different view of the racing genre on consoles.

SEGA has found a way to create an even better version of OutRun. Thanks to its 60 fps and the stereoscopic effect, OutRun looks as gorgeous as it did back in the eighties.

There are few games as immediately accessible and fun as this one. Pure, simple, joyful and with a killer soundtrack, Crypt of the Necrodancer is a small radiant gem.

The king of the 4X games is back and it has come with a golden crown. Firaxis has made a whole new Civ with a taste both of the past and the present. Perfect for newcomers and a challenge for the experienced ones.

A surprising new twist on a crowded genre. Slay the Spyre may not be the prettiest game out there, but it's one of the most interesting experiences of 2019 so far.

A clear example of how to adapt a strategy game from PC to consoles. Thanks to its interface and controls we don't miss playing with the keyboard and mouse.

As good as it was on PS4, but with a bit more content, and it's cheaper. A win-win situation despite its delay.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is an excellent demonstration of quality with an absorbing history and an outstanding artistic direction. Joining concepts such as Norse mythology and psychosis was not easy, but the mixture has been respectful and interesting.

Colossal Order ha decided to bring it's franchise to a whole new level, making it become the ultimate Sim city simulator, being even better than the original franchise.

Rock Band 4 is a fantastic game to feel music games with the new generation of consoles. The improvisation mode is very fun, though we would have liked to see new features.

A new and carefree simulation game that recovers the spirit of the original. Addictive, fun and without germs.

More and almost always better. More characters, more game mechanics and a luxury soundtrack are the pros of Hotline Miami 2. Unfortunately, the plot slightly darkens a game of exquisite mechanics.

A game that conquers you through the eyes, but it's when you play it when it convinces. As fascinating being watched as played and whose mistakes are in no way decisive.

A game that proves what VR is capable of achieving... despite that fact that it's still a great game played as a traditional game.

Super Mario 3D World has aged quite well. It is still a very enjoyable adventure, updated in its rhythm and different enough from Super Mario Odyssey for those who came to Switch without going through Wii U to discover it. The big surprise is Bowser's Fury, which transcends the concept of simple DLC and adds mechanics and novelties of epic dimensions.

The best possible version of the 'impossible game'. Maybe its technical side is getting too old for next gen consoles, but that is its only mistake, on a package that offer hundreds of hours of death and joy.

After the Borderlands 2 fiasco on PS Vita, it is a joy to once again have timeless classics and still full of humor and good gaming experiences gathered in a single package for Nintendo Switch, where we mainly recommend be played on handheld mode.

Astra is a game that you love for his design and five seconds later, you will love it for his fun gameplay. The mixture of genres, puzzles, race endless, enemies and obstacles in their levels ... everything is measured to amuse and pose a growing challenge. A small masterpiece for iOS.

A great adventure that looks as awesome as it plays with multiple choices that really matter and a compelling history that is worth your time.

Fun and more complete than previous iterations, this game is a great option for any Star Wars fan, no matter what age he (or she) is.

Asgard's Wrath is the new reference in Virtual Reality.

The changes in Guitar Hero Live are very strong, but this business is for the brave. The new guitar offers new challenges and is a much more realistic and graceful instrument. GHTV mode offers endless possibilities and hours of play without payment. Guitar Hero Live may have left things behind, but shows a promising way.

Capcom will hunt down new players with his biggest Monster Hunter game. At the same time it continues to feed the hardcore fans with a title that has all the keys to the series and important new developments. Now we will be facing bigger and more beautiful monsters and environments.

Three masterpieces in a single pack. If you never played them, this is your golden opportunity.

An outstanding fighting game that does almost everything perfect. It's beautiful to see, easy to play, but difficult to master and has a lot of game modes... But there are little mistakes made here, like its low difficulty and some characters that are too similar. Despite that, one of the best games in its genre in a while.

One of the best 2d fighters out there, almost perfect in every aspect. There are some slight issues like its lack of cross play with PS Vita or the style of its soundtrack, but beyond that, and excellent game for those who can see beyond Street Fighter and Tekken.

Starbound is a profound and economic alternative to No Man's Sky. Despite its technical section, behind the title hides a deep and harmonious universe worthy of being explored.

One nice conversion of a driving game as demanding that only experts on the genre will fully enjoy it. We miss a couple of new features on the console versions, but it's still a great racing game.

NieR: Automate is one of the best action games of the last few years, and a complete tribute to the video games industry.

In general, the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball FighterZ comes very, very polished and offers everything that PS4 and Xbox One players could enjoy before. It is a pity that we had to wait 8 months to try it and we missed that it had arrived with some exclusive extras to alleviate this delay.

The 1991 Battletoads fell in love with a generation of gamers. Now, almost 30 years later, the new Battletoads will once again win the hearts of all those and, at the same time, will make a new generation of players fall in love. As beat 'em up it is very remarkable, but the game is so varied that we can hardly say that this is the real basis of the proposal. It's also a great platformer, a great action game, a great party game ... In conclusion, a game as fun as it is sympathetic and a great must-have for Xbox Game Pass subscribers this summer. It's very short, but you're going to play it at least as many times as there are frogs in the game.

A man chooses...a slave obeys. Do it voluntarily or forced by the pressure of having missed some of the best games of the last 15 years, you are facing a new opportunity to know what makes this saga so special and beloved.

As good as we were expecting. An excellent fighting game that comes with plenty of game modes, including a history mode that manages to offer a different take on the standard a-b-c of fighting games.

The classic RPG, better and more beautiful than ever, but with many limitations of its old engine.

Probably the best Spider-Man game ever done, but still far from perfect. Insomniac has made an excellent sandbox but its repetitiveness and some technical issues make this game a bit less stellar.

The Division has the future of MMO video Games in its hands.

A game that will know how to reward those players who decide to invest time in immersing themselves in the history and to be carried away by mechanics with which Obsidian has distilled the essence of the classic occidental RPGs.

Not just another Tetris game, but a modern classic that makes the old game even more fun and much more synesthetic.

The unlocked framerate is the real game-changer in Destiny 2. Overall, it looks stunning, but Activision should have better presented the lore of this series to the new PC community.

Moss is one of the most interesting experiences ever done on VR and has a main character that we deeply love: Quill. It may not be perfect due to the restrains of PS VR, but despite that, it's an excellent portrait of VR narrative and gameplay.

This Unruly Heroes is a very pleasant surprise. If you like 2D titles that mix platforming and action in equal parts, you will enjoy this title greatly. Many describe it as a perfect mix between Rayman Legends and Trine, and they are right. It has a bit of both but it also shines with his own ideas. It's beautiful, it's long and it's a real challenge in many moments.

Mortal Kombat 11 doesn't change many things. The series of Ed Boon and NetherRealm is still alive. This new game is deep and it is full of content. The Fatal Blow is a good idea, and visually he continues to be brutal and spectacular, although it is running in Unreal Engine 3. The new characters and modes are great.

The most realistic chapter of the saga. It lacks licenses, but its control makes up for it. If you are looking for a pure simulator, Konami's title will satisfy your needs, but if you prefer a more direct and faster style of play, it may not convince you. In addition, if you like to play online, you will enjoy because it's specially designed to compete against other players online but it falls somewhat short in terms of game modes.

Despite once again proving that the DLCs for Borderlands 2 were considerably better than those for B3, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck is an excellent addition to close the season of downloadable content for B3 and its best expansion among the four of the Season Pass.

Media Molecule gives us a complete tool with which we feel like authentic video game developers. It takes time, but once you've mastered it, the experience is highly rewarding. The only limit of Dreams is our imaginations.

An eternal classic with a twist that makes it new again. This is the way to renew a franchise, well played Tetris.

Gameplay novelties are appreciated, but they are not so important as to consider that they are more than a patch of PES 2018. Regarding game modes, it seems that we are facing a new déjà vu.

PES 2018 almost reaches perfection in gameplay, but its offer of licenses and game modes is still not enough for an outstanding experience overall.
