Hades II is much more than a sequel. Supergiant Games’ work exceeds all expectations, with a gameplay loop that keeps you hooked at every moment, even as you die trying. Its immersive narrative and thrilling action make it an essential title for action lovers.

Lee Petty has created his best work yet with Keeper. This constantly evolving platform game takes us on a journey with the lighthouse keeper and his feathered friend through a decaying world full of mysteries and surprises. Its exquisite level design offers a mini adventure in each of its 39 chapters, including new mechanics, movements, and strategies at every step of our odyssey. With no combat, no text, and no dialogue, Keeper manages to make itself understood through its silences and melodies, much better than other works riddled with words and violence.

With a unique first-person perspective and technical aspects that leave much room for improvement, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 offers us a neo-noir adventure set in 21st-century Seattle. As an Ancient newly awakened from his slumber, we must investigate a dark plot while negotiating with the clans and increasing our influence in the city. As if that weren't enough, we'll have the help of a Malkavian inspector, Fabien, whose consciousness survives in the mind of our protagonist. Past and present come together in an investigation in which no character is above suspicion.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a release heavily focused on battles. While its story and graphics don’t particularly stand out, the addictive gameplay, dynamic combat, and fun online mode make it a must-play title for both veteran fans and newcomers.

Despite imprecise and frustrating controls in many sections, Yooka-Replaylee has a lot of charm. A must-play for those who enjoyed the original game, or for anyone who loves collecting items in a colourful world.

EA's well-known shooter franchise is back, and it's back in a big way. Battlefield 6 is pure addiction, everything players have been waiting for over the years. Although the Campaign mode is somewhat disappointing, it more than makes up for it with a highly engaging multiplayer packed with modes and customization options for our equipment.

Little Nightmares 3 expands the series' universe with new gameplay ideas, while still maintaining its essence. It's the most complete experience yet, thanks to a co-op mode that's both necessary and fun.

King of Meat offers cooperative fun in dungeons that mix platforming, action, and puzzles in a very unique way. However, its progression and continuity depend entirely on how the community chooses to use the title itself and its level editor.

Digimon Story: Stranger is not only one of the best representations of the brand, but it is also a solid, deep, and very fun JRPG.

It's a dream to rediscover Super Mario Galaxy with the technical and visual quality of Nintendo Switch 2, where the adventure takes on a special shine. However, the lack of major new features hampers a lackluster release that appeals to nostalgia.

It promised and has delivered, at least to a certain extent, and has managed to sneak its way into becoming our favorite soccer game of recent seasons. If you play every year, you'll notice the differences, with special mention going to its two different gameplay options.

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.

In summary, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles largely succeeds in what it sets out to do. Not only does it coherently update its technical aspects, but it also adds necessary quality-of-life improvements; furthermore, its story and gameplay remain highly enjoyable today. Unfortunately, the lack of a Spanish translation makes it a completely inaccessible experience for a large part of the public.

Baby Steps presents itself as one of the most curious games of the year, but it doesn’t fully take advantage of the tools at its disposal. The experience quickly becomes repetitive, and the gameplay can become very frustrating for the player.

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.

Silent Hill f takes us to 1960s Japan with a dark, symbolic, and psychologically deep story. It combines exploration, clever puzzles, and more complex combat than previous entries, while still retaining the essence of the series.

Despite certain issues with the progression and presentation of its proposal, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is the best racing game featuring the hedgehog that Sega has ever made, as well as a new benchmark for the genre.

Midnight Murder Club is a chaotic and fun multiplayer game, where you compete or cooperate with friends, perfectly designed to create moments full of plenty of surprises.

Unexpectedly, especially given what was shown at the beginning, the port to Nintendo Switch 2 has turned out to be almost outstanding. Of course, the game remains the same, for better or for worse.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has earned a permanent place in my memory. It's an incredible sequel that expands on everything the first game introduced and gives fans an adventure full of secrets and excitement. Challenging, deep, and extremely satisfying to play. Hornet took her time, but it was worth every second of the wait.

Borderlands 4 sticks to the formula that made the series famous: frantic gunfights, dark humor, and a creative arsenal. Although it retains its classic gameplay and doesn’t innovate much, the skill progression and combat remain highly satisfying.

It's the installment we've liked the most in recent years, especially in terms of gameplay and when it comes to creating our player and taking them to the top, but it's still too intrusive with microtransactions, although Visual Concepts has taken measures here too, albeit minimal ones.

Two of the most original and addictive games you can get your hands on, and at a reduced price. OK as a remaster, too simple as a compilation.

Cronos: The New Dawn fails to deliver a well-rounded survival horror experience due to combat that doesn't measure up to the rest of the game. On the other hand, it also gives us a wonderful science fiction story that is fascinating both narratively and visually.

Metal Eden is a superb and addictive first-person shooter, capable of overcoming its obvious inspirations and adding real value thanks to its gameplay and aesthetic choices.

Hell is Us is a game based on exploration. It invites you to discover the story and secrets of its world at your own pace, without a single mission indicator in sight. The result is a challenging adventure that constantly rewards the player with very positive feelings. Although the combat system does not reach the expected level, Hell is Us stands out for its immersive atmosphere, complex story, and clever puzzles.

Lost Soul Aside is an experience with ups and downs, where some elements work brilliantly and others fall short. On the negative side, we have a forgettable story, flat characters that are impossible to connect with, and a world that, in the end, we don't really care about. On the positive side, there's platforming with good and bad moments, lots of madness, and fast-paced combat full of clever mechanics that you'll enjoy more as you progress through the game.

Helldivers 2 arrives on Xbox after a year and a half of content, just before a major update. Its unique approach and charismatic take on the shooter genre make it a sure hit for all players who enjoy online gaming. A wealth of scenarios, missions, and planets will keep you entertained for the duration of the superwar and its aftermath.
