    Nocturnal is a compact proposal, to the point and with interesting mechanics in terms of combat and puzzles. It is far from the great exponents of the genre, but it bets on some original elements that can undoubtedly attract an audience that does not want to complicate itself with the rigid, demanding and absorbing structure of a pure and simple Metroidvania.

    A year after releasing on PlayStation 4, Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is now on Nintendo Switch as a solid adaptation that compensates for a slight graphic downgrade with portability.

    WWE 2K26 has a nice balance between adding new elements and tweaking its formula while respecting what has worked for years. Each year, it demonstrates why the series is the best wrestling simulator on the market, and this time it gets so close to realism that there are even a couple of annoying things. Clearly, it's an imperfect title, but the elements that work fine are pure quality.

    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is not the abomination haters would want it to be but it is clear that the franchise is going through an identity crisis. Under its bizarre sci-fi concept, the campaign still has some of the core elements you would expect from the single player mode, but the overly convoluted structure of the multiplayer, chaotic rhythm, the flashy presentation of Zombies in Spaceland and a few technical hiccups will make you hesitate when calling this a Call of Duty game.

    Despite the criticisms and mistakes that the franchise has suffered in its period of greatest success but also of greatest comfort, EA Sports FC 24 is a good football game that demonstrates the intention to grow and fulfill its expectations. fans of the most famous and passionate sport in the world. The new stuff does stand out and strangely fulfills the objective of making you feel like you are in a new football experience that does not deny its past. There are areas to address and improvements to consider, but overall, EA Sports FC 24 is a solid soccer offering that you won't be surprised to see rise to the top right away.

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a bold step forward for the franchise, turning the traditional formula into a fast-paced action RPG. Its combat system is thrilling, strategic, and refreshingly different, while its return to Kalos brings nostalgic charm. However, its single-city setting, underwhelming visuals, and lack of voice acting keep it from true greatness. Still, Legends: Z-A captures the wonder and heart of Pokémon better than any recent entry. A strong evolution, even if not the final form.

    The lack of revolutionary game design turns this into a hard-to-swallow experience without the appropriate mindset. An interesting effort nonetheless.

    Horizon Chase Down is a good choice for fans of the Arcade Racer genre, specifically for those who enjoyed games like Out Run, Top Gear, Cruis'n USA and the Rush series.

    FIFA 22 could be a new beginning for the series thanks to a better football sensation. The gameplay is smooth, slower and fun. Sadly, many of its mode still lack that extra edge to feel different from FIFA 21.

    The latest iteration of Everybody’s Golf represents an evolution for the classic PlayStation golf franchise. The new character progression system is one of the most welcomed features on top of the robust online modes and the freedom it offers on the golf course. If you can look beyond the grinding, you can enjoy a very pleasant virtual golf experience.

    In the end, Reus 2 comes out on top. Despite its shortcomings as a console port, particularly the lack of ideal adaptation for traditional controls, it's a solid strategy and management game. Given its difficulty level, learning curve, and audiovisual elements, I consider it a good entry point to the genre if you haven't tried it before or don't want to get bogged down in a sea of ​​menus, options, and on-screen information. The simplistic yet effective style, combined with the hours of fun it provides and its creative possibilities, makes it an interesting option for passing the time, exercising your mind, and, why not, relaxing for a while.

    Blood: Refreshed Supply is a meticulous restoration of one of the most underappreciated 90s shooters. A bloody showcase of difficulty, inventive level design, and darkly comic horror with modern technical upgrades. Night Dive Studios delivers a faithful remaster with expanded content, performance enhancements, and broad platform support. However, its steep price and controversial upgrade strategy overshadow the achievement, making this revival as divisive as it is technically impressive.

    Although it has the potential to be the best One Piece game, Odyssey fails to hold interest due to its limited exploration, ups and downs story, as well as being slow and repetitive.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix offers a great opportunity to live the beginnings of an epic saga. Even if it didn't include Chain of Memories and 358/2, this would be a great experience for all those that missed its launch 10 years ago and for those who did play it and fell in love with its story and characters.

    Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the biggest and most ambitious game from the franchise, and it was worth the wait.

It can be the beginning of a new and bright future for the brothers.

    Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 could feel like the same title that came out 7 years ago, but it brings new and more challenging features that competitive players will enjoy. The game is fun from the first to the last curse you unblock. It may not have many modes or real Boss Battles, but it is still a fun experience that Pac-Man fans will enjoy.

    Much more than a simple Musou-styled tie-in title, Dragon Quest Heroes is a love letter to the fans of this JRPG saga and a proof that the right mechanics can add depth and variety to an stagnant genre. Also, the graphics and sound are truly fantastic. A truly commendable effort.

    Despite some hoping for EA Sports FC 26's crucifixion, the reality is that it's a good soccer game that offers a more polished experience than in recent years. All the rehashes and reworks are evident, but so are the areas for improvement that seek to find the balance between simulation, fun, and gameplay. Its limitations, errors, and oversights are fewer than in recent releases, and if we translate the experience to what happens on the field, the result is satisfactory.

    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree delivers, delivering an experience of over 40 hours and enough elements to make most of it fun and rewarding. It's no match for the greats of the genre, that's a given, but it's a few notches below, and that, these days, is saying something. The gloomy and nostalgic feel of its dark fantasy reveals a game with its own essence and identity, even when it resorts to tried-and-tested formulas and established elements.

    This game feels like a well intended failure. Its puzzles are too simple and easy to solve, the action parts are diluted minigames and the animations feel cheap. However, the historical context is interesting and the visual style is amazing. In the end, sadly, Valiant Hearts is unable to overcome its weaknesses.

    Quantum Break is clever and fun, but it falls a bit short of the expectations that its long development process and robust marketing campaign created. The TV show felt uninspired and the decision-making was not as transcendent as we would have liked. The game is good, just not a revolution.

    World of Final Fantasy may not look like a modern open-world action RPG. But instead, it brings colorful environments, an enjoyable story, great combat mechanics and, most importantly, nostalgia at its best. This Square Enix game was made for the Final Fantasy fan who loves the series and its iconic characters. It may not have the best narrative and dialogue, but it will give players tons of entertainment on many different levels.

    After years of ups and downs, Madden NFL 26 seems to be on the right track. The improvements are noticeable, both in the visuals, gameplay, and presentation. It's finally a next-gen release, and the best part is that it has a homegrown competition that, in theory, should drive development to improve and meet fan demands. It will undoubtedly be a good season for football fans.
