Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties delves into Kazuma Kiryu's past to bring back one of the best episodes of Yakuza. Ryu Ga Gotoku refines the original title with brutal combat, new activities, and plenty of mini-games that aid exploration to create bombproof gameplay. New stories, improved storytelling, Spanish subtitles, and the addition of Dark Ties make this pack one of the studio's best remakes. It's the perfect excuse to relive Kiryu's past and understand his role in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased his Name and Infinite Wealth.

Mewgenics is a game that embraces chaos, randomness, and failure as central elements of its experience. It rewards players not for perfect optimization, but for skillfully managing uncertainty. Its grotesque aesthetic and challenging mechanics reflect the vision of its creator: the notion that absolute control is an illusion. Therefore, the game does not aim to be universally appealing or friendly; instead, it embodies a design philosophy that acknowledges losing as progress.

Nioh 3 has two pillars: Its duality of ninja and samurai combat and an open world filled with things to do. Fans of the franchise will especially enjoy the fast-paced action and speed, but will also be the victims of its main flaw.

Dispatch is an instant benchmark for narrative adventures. Its fabulous technical execution, gameplay consistent with the narrative, and above all, its enormous success in entertaining us like the best of series, make it one of the most remarkable games of recent months. And with its port for Nintendo Switch 2, we have the best possible version... if you can forgive its absurd censorship.

Code Vein II, while remaining a more or less traditional souls-like game, improves on its predecessor in every way. Its ambitious Elden Ring-style open world and timelines make this journey particularly fun and addictive in its gameplay loop.

Code Violet was expected to be the spiritual successor to Dino Crisis, but expectations have taken their toll. Teamkill Media repeats the same mistakes it made with Quantum Error, with a shooter that borrows elements from various survival horror games without fully understanding them. Although it can be fun at times, the combination of disparate and nonsensical mechanics, technical glitches, and poor design decisions ultimately results in a product that is not worth its $50 price tag, nor even close.

Mega-Dimension is a DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A with good ideas and new Mega Evolutions, but it is weighed down by a weak story, content cut from the base game, and recycled environments.

Terminator 2D: No Fate is a great tribute to Cameron's film and universe. Many iconic characters, various genres, and game modes come together to ensure the best way to experience firsthand this or that moment from Terminator 2. It may not delve too deeply into each genre, and the experience may fall short for those unfamiliar with the film, but old-timers and fans of the T-800 and the Connors' struggle will have plenty of reasons to enjoy it.

The Forsaken Hollows expands the Elden Ring Nightreign experience with a new map filled with secrets and two truly memorable final battles. If you liked the main game, it's the perfect excuse to continue playing.

Octopath Traveler 0, despite its conservatism, once again provides a magnificent lesson in how to unite the past and present of the genre. A superb JRPG, with significant new features within its own series, but whose lack of translation poses a huge barrier to users.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the best Switch 2 game to date and seems perfectly designed to take advantage of the console's features. It returns to its roots but takes things in a new direction. It's a visual spectacle with incredibly detailed and sharp graphics.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion delivers exactly what it promises: a remarkable beat 'em up experience that feels like it came straight from the arcades, with wonderful pixel art and a huge amount of love for the brand and its characters.

Constance is a beautiful game with a much-needed message. Its movement mechanics place it among this year's best platformers, and its metroidvania essence is the best invitation to thoroughly explore all these great hand-painted locations.

Kirby Air Riders is a fun and addictive racing game with simple yet deep controls, featuring a variety of game modes, unlockable characters and vehicles, and a charming visual style that, combined with its smooth performance, delivers excitement and adrenaline in every race.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 attempts to compensate for its excessive continuity with an immense amount of content. It has the best multiplayer in the series in years, and Final Objective is a fantastic addition with the potential to be memorable. However, its terrible campaign and its desire to refine the usual formula make it a notable game, but not an excellent one.

Let’s Sing 2026 arrives with over 30 new songs for you to sing at the top of your lungs. Despite having a varied playlist and four game modes, this party feels insufficient, especially if you don’t have the VIP Pass.

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.

Where Winds Meet offers an ambitious third-person adventure in which we become heroes or heroines of 10th-century China. A vast open-world RPG, full of possibilities, which we can enjoy alone, with friends, or with unknown players. Absolute freedom to act, decide, and forge our legend allows us to customize our martial arts, choose our path, and move through the world by running on water, walking on walls, or even flying like in a Chinese martial arts movie. Unfortunately, the gameplay is hampered by this ambition with mini-games that don't quite work well and a use of AI that seems to go beyond dialogues with NPCs.

Anno 117: Pax Romana combines an engaging narrative with an excellent learning curve and deep, addictive gameplay. Although the visual details could be improved, it keeps the player fully immersed in city-building.

ARC Raiders has been a real surprise. Embark takes the plunge into extraction shooters with one of the most energetic mixes of PvE and PvP I've ever played. Despite a few shortcomings in terms of usability, this game has earned its place on the list of the biggest surprises of 2025.

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.

Tales of Xillia Remastered is a well-deserved second chance. This is a very traditional JRPG that, while not groundbreaking within the genre, is one of the most beloved in the Tales of series. This is the best way to enjoy it, thanks to its improved graphics and extensive quality-of-life options that allow you to customize the experience to the max.

Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake is the best way to enjoy these classics thanks to its beautiful technical aspects and quality-of-life improvements. These are two very demanding games, and their greatest strength lies in their role as an archaeological review of the origins of a genre as beloved as turn-based JRPGs.

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.

Caroline Walker returns with her sister in a new adventure that far surpasses the first Tormented Souls. The Araneda brothers' survival horror expands in this sequel with a more ambitious approach that rivals the great classics of the genre. Beautifully and intelligently designed settings, powerful characters, and an immense number of deep puzzles are the keys to a quest that will take us through different locations in search of our sister. Two endings with the promise of a third "funny" ending in the future, many tense situations, and the need to use your head to make it to the credits are the foundations of a release that surprises with the care with which it has been created.

Ninja Gaiden 4 lives up to the fame of the series and offers an experience that is as bloody as it is enjoyable. Despite falling into visual and plot monotony at times, the incredible combat takes the lead providing an unforgettable experience for everyone who loves a good action game.
