Directive 8020 builds on the formula established in 2015, adding several gameplay layers (some more successful than others) to its narrative-driven core and butterfly effect mechanics. However, its greatest strength lies in the freedom it gives players to explore its complex tree of decisions and consequences. It is Supermassive Games’ most complete and enjoyable adventure since Until Dawn.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers a canonical story that expands on what was seen in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The narrative is interesting, although the story itself feels somewhat superficial. Nevertheless, it makes up for this with spectacular combat and highly enjoyable gameplay.

A nice platforming game that may be too slow for some players, but makes almost everything right.

Konami keeps its promise to revive love for its most classic franchises with Gradius Origins. A love letter to the beginnings of the series, it takes the titles from the first 11 years and adds a kind of “what if” scenario that for many will be the biggest draw of the compilation. Six classic titles, all the arcade versions, and a juicy bonus, the previously unreleased Salamander III, are joined by a host of customization options and a perfect recreation. The result? A compilation that manages to hook us back into a saga that hasn't lost an ounce of its epicness.

Fast'n fun; that is how Matterfall works. An interesting videogame that takes back the 16 bits - Gunstar Heroes style with metroidvania elements and offers a hard (but also short) experience based on ability and patience.

A remarkable title.

Arms does a lot of new things, but fails to offer a wide variety of options or characters. That will be improved over the time with free DLCs, but as it is, Arms is just a nice new beginning with plenty of room for improvement.

A very interesting addition to the Bayonetta universe that, far from what it seemed and in its own right, has ended up becoming a great video game.

A good expansion that does less than expected to renew Forza Horizon 4's formula, despite doing almost everything pretty well.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a story full of love, spirits and sacrifices.

Immersive and beautiful, this experience is capable of enchanting any type of player.

An excellent fighting game and a formidable exponent of the real sport, with a little innovation compared to the previous game.

The same game that we played a few years ago on old-gen consoles, but adapted to modern day hardware and with a lot of extra content. This one may not be the best RE out there, but it's still enjoyable.

A classic point'n click adventure that works pretty well despite some control issues.

After an incredible run on PC, Planet Zoo is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S thanks to its Console Edition. A wider number of players now have the opportunity to enjoy a very rich simulator where complexity, beauty and, above all, love for animals reign.

One of those rare games that manages to do something new and different without changing anything relevant in its genre. Maybe it's because of it's art, maybe not... but the case is that this unpronounceable game nails it.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a pleasant surprise for gamers who have been following the Tayabusa clan since the old Tecmo games of the 80-90s. A remastering at the height of the original title that offers about 13-15 hours of fun filled with extreme combat, frenetic action and many game modes as a reward after completing the campaign. The visual and performance improvements allow us to play at 4K 120 FPS turning the game screen into a spectacle of blood, gore and severed limbs.

Tremendous fun.

God of War Ragnarok for PC does not boast at any time, and implements a number of restrictions difficult to justify, but ultimately we have a functional port that allows us to enjoy in all its glory of this jewel of the PlayStation catalog.

A great compilation that lacks a bunch of extra possibilities to be the kind of homage that this series deserves.

A remastered version with not many new features, but still an excellent game.

A sweet and relaxing experience based on the Super Mario universe with Toad as our main character. Each level is a puzzle by itself and it requires tons of patience and the ability to play with prospective.

Call of Duty needs to lean on three pillars every year. If one staggers, like multiplayer, the taste in the mouth that leaves is not what we demand of an annual product, and that is the case of Black Ops Cold War. Luckily, it shouldn't take much more than the start of the Seasons and the arrival of new content to fix.

Need for Speed ​​Heat is an ideal game for fans of the saga. It has everything: Tuning, day and night races, police chases. Of course, Palm City is a little small, the police is too tired appearing in all night races and the story doesn't bring anything new. Despite this, the multiplayer system, the control of the vehicles and its technical section put us in a great arcade driving game.

If your passion is building in videogames and you love animals, Planet Zoo is one of your best options if you have a PC.

Red Dead Redemption is really enjoyable on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

One final attempt to renew our passion for Forza Horizon 4 and a great way of attracting new drivers to this world despite sometimes we miss an extra polish on some layer of its proposal.

A humble game that achieves to be one of the best horror experiences on 2015, despite its low budget. The secret is its terrific ambiance and the history.

Doom is saved by its frenetic gameplay represented in the campaign and its Snapmap editor that allows you to do everything. The game would have been better without a multiplayer that deducts.

EA Sports WRC will not be remembered as the best rally game because we are sure that the following titles will polish the small but numerous flaws it has, but it is a phenomenal starting point for the new Codemasters in the world of rally, and fully enjoyable since its launch with, moreover, the best response with a controller and steering wheel that we have had the pleasure to test.

Zoink Games still has the touch, and Flipping Death is the living proof of it. An original game with plenty of platforming/puzzles that may entertain you while it lasts, even with its minor problems.

Big Pharma is a solid game that manages to criticize the pharmaceutical industry but never forgets that, deep inside, is still a video game.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is everything we hoped it would be. Avantgarden and 505 Games gave us a remake created in Unreal Engine 5 that is completely faithful to the story, which remains intact. With a wonderful soundtrack, a new cooperative mode and breathtaking scenarios, the story of these brothers is worth reliving.

PC players finally have the chance to try one of the best games of the year. After a great success in other platforms, it is time to play it in our PCs. Still, it needs a really high-specifications device in order to work properly.

Bound is one of the most beautiful and magical games of the year. The mix between the art, Oleg's music, and the movement of our pretty ballerina makes Bound a unique experience, albeit it with simplistic gameplay.

Black Ops 6 surprises and much for its campaign, but ends up hooking thanks to a multiplayer mode and zombies mode that offer just what they promise. It may not be perfect, but it's probably the best Call of Duty in years.

After a long time waiting for its release, Smalland: Survive the Wilds proves to be much more than that Grounded with fairies that many of us thought it would be in its beginnings. A survival adventure that guarantees fun for groups of friends and lone wolves alike.

With a mix of continuity and innovation, Mario Tennis Fever achieves its goal, which is simply to entertain. This time, we'll also have a complete game right from the start. For the next installment, the story mode will need polishing, as it's essentially a rather long and underutilized tutorial.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is the perfect game for Final Fantasy veterans, but it's also designed to win over a new audience thanks to its simple system and the exciting journey it offers.

Telltale Games do it again, but this time with a narrative emphasis. This complete season could have been more 'interactive' or beautiful, but even with that it's an experience that GoT fans should not miss.

A great port of an old game that it's still interesting, despite the years.

The innovation of ​​Boxboy, now for 2 players. HAL Laboratory is still smart and it knows how to entertain and challenge us. If you still do not know this series, discover it with this chapter on Nintendo Switch.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes successfully adapts its unsettling world and atmosphere to VR. A must-play experience (though perhaps a bit too short) for fans of the series.

Rematch feels like a breeze of fresh air, a real gift for football fans. With simple mechanics that are difficult to master, you can be the star of heart-stopping matches that, as usual, are much more enjoyable with friends.

A firm commitment to cooperative multiplayer, a title that seeks to continue expanding a particular idea, a way of seeing the game in which its author has placed his trust. For that reason alone it deserves a certain degree of attention. But it also manages to make this proposal based on cooperation work wonderfully. Not only does it fill an empty space in our catalogs, but it also does it with a good grade.

This remaster is one of the best examples of what technology can do to bring back a classic game to let the modern audiences enjoy these timeless classics.

A classic shump that brings some unique twists to the old arcadey games that we played on the arcades 20 years ago, but falls a bit short while doing it, especially if you are playing alone.

Phantom Liberty brings us an intricate police story full of action and great dialogues. You can feel the decadence of Dogtown in every step you take in this new district, and you will love to get lost in its winding streets. And believe me, with or without Phantom Liberty, it is worth coming back to Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0. version.

A beautiful experience. Planet Alpha looks like the game that, if Gaudi was alive today, he could have designed. Platforms, stealth and puzzles based on the day-night cycle.

Fantastic mafia management game with a good combat system. Employee relationships make up for bad artificial intelligence and some illogical situations.

Red Dead Redemption is an exceptional game, and its PC port more than delivers, offering a well-optimized experience even for less powerful devices. Even so, it is missing some substantial additions or improvements after so many years of waiting.

A fun game in the likes of Hotline Miami but with a co-op mode that will shake things up a bit to make it interesting.

The hidden treasure of Area Zero - Part II: The Indigo Disk is a conclusion to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that leaves a good taste in your mouth. Good story, large territory and a new Pokédex with old-but-gold Pokémon. Do not expect any kind of improvement in the graphics section, though.

The new game modes are great and the tracklist is wide, fun and almost perfect. It's still the same game gameplay wise, but at least it offers some new ways to play. Maybe next year's edition will think more about the user experience, which is the biggest flaw on Just Dance 2016.

Hand of Fate 2 is an interesting fusion of deck building games mechanics and the world of Interactive Fiction. Defiant Development has created a nice fusion between narrative driven game with a high number of player choices.

A successful free-to-play game that manages to retain almost everything that made this franchise relevant. The issue is that: almost did it.

The Callisto Protocol is a formidable adventure, very linear (in a good way), that knows how to drink from Dead Space but finds its own way. It's a shame that introducing some items to its Season Pass limit its life so much and that its second half isn't quite as inspired. But what a good time I've had.

A welcomed entry in a great series, although it has some flaws on its campaign progression that makes the game a bit less fun than it should have been.

This game tries and accomplishes blending movies and videogames into one unique experience. By doing that, Supermassive Games takes away some freedom from the players side, but compensates with huge replayabity.

A very promising indie with a gameplay in which freedom, and relaxation will prevail. Encounters with very curious characters, AIs with very questionable decisions and plots of corruption and allegory of the human condition and technological escalation. An interesting game to get lost in.

If you have three friends near your couch, this game is a blast. Otherwise there are better options available on the market.

Mundfish arrives with a charismatic and powerful proposal that leaves us wanting a sequel.

As a conclusion to this improved edition, Catherine: Classic brings us back a title that has already gone through the consoles of two generations. And it does not have much more improvement than seen in previous editions, apart from some graphic improvement. Still, it's still a very good game, complete, with replayability and hours. It becomes heavy in some places, because the story slows down and does not advance as fast as we would like, making the experience longer than we would expect.

Yooka-Laylee is the perfect tribute to the 90's 3D platforming videogames, a very fun experience for new players and an exciting return of the genre to its roots for the veteran players. Long, fun and very funny, its camera becomes a tougher enemy than Capital B, the game's main villain.

An outstanding game that works pretty well on a console like Switch, especially on TV mode. Its performance on handheld mode is not good. That paired with some boring/repetitive mechanics that were on the other versions make this Switch version the least recommendable of them all, but still a fun and interesting game.

Fun and original game perfect for those who want to play with a friend, while it's not that great for lonely players.

Fae Farm provides entertainment for a long time, and the experience of living in Azoria is a fantastic adventure that is very worthwhile.

An awesome chance for the Switch users to enjoy one of the most intense horror games in the last few years. Deep, dark and charming, this edition contains the original game and also its DLC: Inheritance. Get ready to turn off the lights.

Helldivers 2 is fun, chaotic and addictive. A formula filled with space action that is best enjoyed with friends. Build your squad, organize your ranks and set course for remote planets in the name of democracy. A festival of bullets and green goo that will keep you hooked for hundreds of hours.

Another's Crab Treassure is much more than a parody of soulslike games. It's dynamic, fun and surprisingly complete. One of the most interesting indies of the year, which comes with a fresh sense of humour and some very interesting mechanics.

Minit is a game you play in short games of a minute in duration that you'd like to play for hours.

Amnesia Rebirth is the best game of Frictional Games and one of the best horror games of 2020. Hopefully in the future they will improve their narrative and their puzzles.
