    Rhythm Heaven Megamix may not look like other flashy rhythm games, but its simplistic presentation and gameplay mechanics work really well. Thanks to its many composers, the music selection feels diverse, despite focusing only on the pop genre. Overall, it is a great game for new comers and serves as a collection of greatest hits for the players that follow the series since its inception on the NDS.

    A terrifying survival horror experience. It offers the best spooky atmosphere in the franchise with many of the classic mechanics that built the original formula. Yet it has enough new elements to stand its ground amidst similar games. Without doubt, a must play horror experience.

    Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call consolidates as a quality product due to its extensive list of songs and characters ―over 220 and 60 respectively―. It also has perfect functionality in terms of game modes, solid controls and it provides a delightful sense of gratification. It is, without a doubt, a musical love letter destined to be among the best music titles of 2014.

    By adding some RPG systems, Assassin’s Creed: Odysseys builds upon everything that Origins did right to create one of the best entries of the series. However, the game has some issues like boring romance options and poor AI. Despite that, Odyssey got us excited for the future of the franchise.

    To make a name for itself in a well-established genre is no easy task. Tropical Freeze manages to do that by achieving rock solid level design and being thorough in almost every aspect. It's a shame that its co-op is not as polished as the rest of the game.

    Fun, challenging and fresh even so many years after the original release, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition shows everyone how to do a proper remaster of a beloved video game. Newcomers and veterans alike will love this. A truly Ultimate Edition.

    Project Cars 2 is a great racing simulator that excels in every possible way, making it hard to play and almost impossible to master. Every victory will feel like winning a championship in real life. The only downside is that using a controller is almost impossible to play, you really need to play with a racing wheel.

    Superhot is high-octane, adrenaline-fueled action... in slow motion. It’s a good representation of frantic FPS gameplay with smart puzzle mechanics, and a meta-story most indie developers dream of.

    Borderlands: The Handsome Collection represents the definitive opportunity to enjoy two of the most beloved games out there, and the most complete anthology of downloadable content in one package. You can play it on the couch with up to 3 friends to enjoy hours upon hours of healthy jokes and gaming references. Truly, a love letter to nerds.

    Storm Island may not be the cheapest most innovative DLC, but what it lacks in freshness, it makes up in depth and exciting driving.

    F1 is back and stronger than ever. With a brand new campaign mode, a new start racer dynamic and different time of the day races, F1 2016 is by far, the best F1 simulator available.

    Tales of Arise is the perfect example of how a franchise can renew itself and achieve new quality standards. It's a JRPG with beautiful visuals and a fun, complex and spectacular battle system: a great game that you should not miss.

    PES 2015 could be more intuitive and precise in some regards, but this game as a whole represents a huge improvement over last-gen iterations and more importantly, it returns the series to a competitive standard with a defined concept to look forward to.

    Borderlands 3 is one of the best games of the year and without a doubt the best game in the franchise to date Yes, it's more of the same, but consider it quantitatively: more action, more chaos, more weapons, more possibilities, more roads, bigger stages, more impressive battles, etc. Do you have a problem with that?

    TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 3 + 4 maintains the high quality standard of the first installment. It offers more of everything, albeit with some modifications and tweaks so that both games convey that arcade feel we love. While sacrifices were made that alter the original experience, the high speed, challenge, nostalgia and fun factor remain intact.

    NBA 2K26 is a release that stands out from previous editions and is definitely the basketball game the current generation has been needing for a long time. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but the work and development demonstrated this year confirms that there are solid foundations that, with some commitment, will result in better experiences for fans.

    The best hacking simulation videogame to date, Hacknet leaves us wanting more of its honest and detailed portrayal of the hacking underworld. Without a doubt, is the greatest (legal) hacking experience available.

    Aether & Iron is a stylish and ambitious narrative RPG set in a retrofuturistic 1930s New York. Its strongest elements are its rich worldbuilding, sharp social themes, and noir-inspired storytelling, driven by meaningful choices and an introspective protagonist. While its tactical combat and RPG systems take a back seat, the game excels where it matters most, delivering a cohesive, immersive experience that feels fresh and distinct.

    Metro: Exodus is a good example of how a series can left behind some of its core ideas and still deliver a well-defined experience for the players that played the previous games. With great pace and outstanding atmospheric details, 4A Games latest production will fill the nuclear gap left by the previous leader of the post apocalyptic genre.

    A triumphant yet imperfect return, World of Warcraft: Midnight delivers one of the MMO’s strongest modern expansions. Blizzard shines in world design, progression systems, and especially its rich side stories, which often outclass the main narrative. However, the central story stumbles with uneven pacing, underused legacy characters, and a lack of real stakes, leaving its ambitious themes underdeveloped. Even so, Midnight succeeds where it matters most: it feels fresh, accessible, and genuinely fun, marking a confident step forward for a 20-year-old MMO.

    A solid roguelike space shooter with sleek anime style, Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a dashing mix of old arcade challenge and modern design traits. A highly recommendable indie game.

    Collect, build, fight and customize your world in Terraria. There are dozens of items, materials, weapons and armors you can craft, as well as dangerous foes you will have to defeat if you want to get the best loot. Go solo or join your friends online and create the world you’ve always wanted to live in.

    Despite having a well-designed and quite addictive gameplay loop, a great story with a powerful ending, Death Stranding falls shorts in key areas. With a long and lethargic pacing, players will turn away, and then, it’s lack of difficulty will surely seal the deal to leave this adventure for later.

    A nice and definitely underrated little gem, Keroblaster brings back the magic of doujin games with an excellent design and control, albeit it is a little brief and somehow less ambitious than its forerunner, Cave Story.

    An exceptional exercise on design purity, VIDEOBALL is a virtual sport that takes inspiration from the origin of videogames themselves to expand the possibilities laid by classics such as Spacewar!, Pong, Asteroids and more; however, despite its undeniable pedigree and elegance, and its generous content, it somehow lacks some excitement and addictiveness. Remarkable, but still a little short of videogame perfection.

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a perfect example of what a good remake should be. Toys for Bob took everything special about the original trilogy and made it better with a fresh coat of paint. This is the definitive way of playing Spyro the Dragon.

    Little Nightmares II arrives as a sequel that delivers a dark adventure full of puzzles and feels like a journey through a charming nightmare. Being that it is so similar to its predecessor, you should also expect the same setbacks, such as short duration, clunky controls and poor replayability.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree is a fun title that will give you a great time with family and friends. We loved seeing that NDCube listened to feedback and improved many of the aspects where Super Mario Party fell short. Unfortunately, in the process, they forgot to pay attention to the elements that made its predecessor a game that many enjoyed.

    Despite the clear abandonment it has in some sectors, eFootball PES 2020 is a great football title and one of the best simulators that exist. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a new stage of success for the franchise and if this is the path they will take from now on, we welcome the proposal of Konami and PES Productions with open arms.

    Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a good entry in the stealth franchise, but falls short compared to its predecessors due an uninspired level design. Nevertheless, it’s a great closure for the Jessamine Kaldwin saga and the retribution story of Corvo Attano that fans of the Dishonored series will learn to love.
