Assassin's Creed IV is one of the best games in the series. The sheer size of the world and the fact that you can take your ship and just sail away, blow a few enemy ships to oblivion, catch a great white shark, take control of a fort and be back in time to continue the main story gives you a great sense of freedom.

Deep, systemic and old school, Prey is a beautiful and haunting world to explore and overcome. A reminder of long forgotten design philosophies applied to modern game design.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the biggest and most ambitious game from the franchise, and it was worth the wait. It maintains the soul of the Mario & Luigi games and it also adds a lot of interesting things that makes it a complete and sublime experience.

Dragon Ball FighterZ balances very well style and concept. It’s an easy game for newcomers, but has room for experts in the genre to develop advanced skills. This may be the very best Dragon Ball fighting game to date because it captures, aesthetically and mechanically, the core and most enjoyable aspects of the series that fans have enjoyed for decades.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is Capcom's best opportunity to bring us 2 of the best titles in the series. This is a fantastic package filled with meaningful content: 10 main chapters with a solid script, unexpected twists and a story that, taken together, is interesting and drives you to know more. The period setting and the care taken in integrating geopolitical elements are excellent details. Investigative scenes, deduction sequences, the ability to examine the evidence, and the attention to detail when pressuring witnesses are all too much fun, plus the addition of a jury and the possibility Interrogating multiple witnesses at once puts a fresh spin on the series.

Nightdive Studios once again strikes a perfect balance between preserving the original experience while making it accessible for new generations. Heretic + Hexen is an outstanding modernization that adds significant content with new campaigns, improved gameplay, cross-platform support, and accessibility features. It's definitively the best way to experience these legendary titles.

Forza Motorsport 7 is a great addition to the franchise and with dynamic weather and couple of tweaks implemented in this version, this could be the best Forza ever. The campaign mode is fun and solid with tons and tons of hours to play with. Other great feature is that Forza Motorsport 7 can be played by everyone with the different difficulty settings, so it's not only for racing sim enthusiasts. The only downside is the long loading times between tracks.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a versatile JRPG with a deep combat system; a challenge in his own right, without being frustrating. A technical marvel with beautiful landscapes, that will make you get lost in the ecosystems of Aionios while being immersed in the story and his characters. Monolith Soft's most ambitious game to date; a must have for Nintendo Switch owners and JRPGs enthusiasts.

Battlefield 1 is a breathtaking reinvention of the franchise, faithful to its origins and with enough innovations to redefine total warfare as we know it. It has an impactful and touching campaign, and a well designed multiplayer. In other words, Battlefield 1 has solid-enough foundations to be a competitive shooter for years to come.

Resident Evil manages to prove once again that its DNA is not static, and that it has the ability to evolve in the same way as the viruses and biological weapons that its protagonists have fought for so many years. In more ways than one, Resident Evil Village is a huge tribute to 25 years of tradition, and an important stepping stone to its future.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown takes a lot of elements from other metroidvanias but also adds something unique and interesting to make a game that shines in almost every aspect. It’s the perfect comeback for the prince.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon proves that FromSoftware remains one of the top game studios of our time, undefeated and unstoppable. It's the mech game we've all dreamed of since our childhood, and the best part is, it packs that old-school, hardcore gaming challenge - a trademark of these brilliant Japanese minds. No doubt, it's one of the best games of the year and a great comeback.

Arc Raiders delivers one of the most refreshing multiplayer experiences in recent years, combining excellent art direction with stellar sound design to create a tense extraction shooter where every match feels unique. Despite inconsistent hit registration and AI-generated voices that clash with the game's otherwise high production values, Arc Raiders succeeds in creating a paranoia-inducing experience that keeps you coming back for more loot and memorable encounters.

GRAND CROSS ReNOVATION is a spiritual sequel to GrandCross, a vertical Shmup of Dazemon 2 for the Sega Saturn. It is a Bullet Hell or Danmaku with several additions that distinguish it from the rest, making it great for newcomers or veterans of the genre.

From the microscopic point of view of the Pikmin to the macroscopic space scenario of the astronauts, Pikmin 3 is a wild ride where resource administration is essential to the gameplay. This title was crafted with care, and this is evident in almost every aspect. However, we would have liked to see more experimentation and objective diversity; basically the kind of thing shown in one the last stages, which turned out to be a lot of fun.

Dishonored 2 is an improvement over the original game in every sense of the word. Its real value lies in the fact that it offers unique and rewarding game experiences for any type of player, whether you like to murder everyone on sight or prefer a more… ghostly approach.

Blasphemous 2 really nails the sequel formula: it beefs up the gameplay, expands the world and all its hidden goodies, and keeps you hooked to give it another shot. In this game, every bit of effort you put in pays off.

SimCity is a fun and addictive game that offers an intuitive simulation interface that will help you create thriving cities that can interact and trade between each other. Even though it's launch was smeared due to server overload, once you start creating, you won't be able to stop.

Dragon's Crown is a perfect mixture between addictive gameplay and a friendly combat system that can be a real challenge for those seeking to submerge themselves in this beautiful world. In this time filled with mediocre beat'em ups, Dragon's Crown really sticks out.

Vicarious Visions and Blizzard Entertainment have done something amazing with Diablo II: Resurrected. It is much more than a tribute. It is a sign that the first game is unrepeatable and that it remains so fresh despite the years (at least for some, because it is evident that it aged particularly badly). Therefore, Diablo II: Resurrected is a careful recommendation. It is a game for veterans of the original, fans and curious.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist offers a complete and balanced experience. Its campaign and multiplayer modes are filled with fun and addictive gameplay, specially Mercs vs. Spies. The stealth mechanics are great and they make this game the best Splinter Cell of this generation.

I feel that Pokopia isn't for everyone. It's one of those titles that, if it clicks with you, you'll sink over a hundred hours into, as it's perfect for playing for a few minutes (which end up turning into hours) during those nights when you're just looking for a little peace in an increasingly chaotic world. However, it's also true that its slow pace and tone might not resonate with those who prefer games with more action or conflict. That said, if Pokopia sounds like your kind of game, you can be sure that it is.

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze remains an excellent platformer and one of Retro Studio’s greatest works. While its additions may not be enough to justify a second time purchase, Tropical Freeze is a must play for all Switch owners that never had the chance to experience the Wii U version.

Forza Motorsport is one of the best racing video games in history and it shines where it needs to. Turn 10 has created a monster whose engine roars, motivating and intimidating at the same level.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it was the mantra behind Rise of the Tomb Raider's development: they took the formula from the last game, they added new elements to it and polished some of the mistakes. Sadly, though, the game is far from perfect. However, we are happy to know that the saga is in good hands... Welcome back Miss Croft!
