    The three tables included in this DLC are among the most interesting and awe inspiring ones so far. Fans of the Star Wars saga will have a hard time trying to reach a high score and taking in all the details and references from the movies and the animated series.

    Phantom Liberty is a quality experience worth experiencing. It has that dark narrative with complex characters and high quality side content that we've come to expect from CD Projekt RED. That said, it also makes some mistakes that allow us to realize that it's a game as flawed, raw and gripping as life in Night City.

    Neva is another proof that Nomada Studio is one of the best studios at telling beautiful, deep and sentimental stories. It’s charming, lovely and gorgeous thanks to the characters, their relationship and how it evolves, all the messages it has and, of course, the artistic direction. It is very short, but the impact will last forever.

    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.

    Hi-Fi RUSH is an amazing rhythmic and action game that feels unique in the Xbox repertoire. With great combat, charismatic cast and an unbelievable world, it is a must play for everyone with a Xbox Series X|S.

    Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautiful and nostalgic tribute that revives 7 iconic fighting games. Although the lack of additional modes and cross-play limits its potential, it remains an excellent option for both veteran and new players. Still, we can’t help but feel that Capcom could have done more to make it the ultimate collection.

    While the progression to max level is fun and the new zones are beautifully crafted, there are some concerns regarding storytelling with the time travel plot. Warlords of Draenor not only represents the 10th anniversary of WoW, but of the genre as we know it, and a faithful comeback to the old Warcraft that we know.

    The three Uncharted titles are still as fun as ever, but now they are more enjoyable at 1080p and 60fps. Bluepoint Games also added a few new game modes and graphical enhancements. All in all, this is a great package, but we find the lack of multiplayer somewhat disappointing.

    Unicorn Overlord is a must-have that fans of strategy games can't pass up. It's a game packed with complex systems that interact to keep you thinking about the best ways to maximize each unit in your squads. Perhaps this makes it a game that may be unsuitable for first time players, but its different difficulty levels do a good job of keeping newcomers from getting overwhelmed by so many systems and allowing veterans to dive right into the strategy.

    Every detail in Cuphead speaks of the love its creators have for perfectionism, from the beautiful visuals to the refined gameplay mechanics. The commitment of Studio MDHR goes beyond a tribute to classic 30s cartoons, it pays homage to the best platforming in videogames and feeds the hunger of those who pursue a genuine challenge.

    Double Helix made a lot of adjustments to the overall Killer Instinct experience. The graphics and audio presentation are great, even the solid gameplay mechanics that it already had were improved. It may not be something that you should buy right away, but it is definitely something that competitive gamers should be grateful for.

    Diablo IV remained stuck in the past while trying to find innovation without generating friction with fans who have played the franchise for over two decades; It feels like the ghost of Diablo Immortal continues to haunt the halls of Blizzard. The game is more of a reinvention of the classic experience, focusing on a games-as-a-service format to ensure another decade of content for Diablo.

    An addictive well-oiled machine, Vampire Survivor is an engaging box filled with secrets and surprises so easily played with infinite replayability. A worthy Early Access graduate.

    Tactics Ogre Reborn is not perfect but it is a very wise re-release. It's not uncommon to see re-releases that disappoint by being simplistic or disrespecting the original creative vision by changing too much, but in this case we're talking about a release that avoids falling into either of these holes. Instead we have a title that succeeds by delivering the definitive version of a tactical RPG that deserves to be played by more people.

    NBA 2K is back and it's bigger, stronger and better this year. Classic teams are still in the game and some teams for the Euroleague as well. MyCareer is a fun mode, but unfortunately, the Spike Lee story is a bit disappointing. Other modes like MyGM and MyTeam are back as well. Controls and gameplay are better than ever. If you love basketball, this is the game for you.

    What it lacks in variety and depth, Titanfall makes up for in balance, excitement and addictiveness. It is not the FPS messiah some say it is, but it certainly is the breath of fresh air the genre needed so badly.

    Tomb Raider is an action-packed adventure game that offers a new origin story for Lara and that mixes an epic plot and an incredibly detailed setting which let us enjoy the very beginning of her journey towards her legendary status.

    In the end, the fears were left behind, as well as the doubts, the remake of Silent Hill 2 is a very good game. A proposal that appropriately honors the original delivery and that takes the lead to keep this story more relevant than ever. The tragic fate of James, Mary, Maria, Laura, Angela and Eddie are considered eternal classics of Survival Horror and the remake reminds older generations of the reason, while introducing new players to one of the best video games in history. We cannot deny that Bloober surprises us; The result has been very good and I am happy to say that Silent Hill is back and again we will be back in that place that will feed our worst nightmares.

    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.

    Despite the fact that Her Story barely qualifies as a game, it has a lot to offer, especially when it comes to narrative; having said that, it won't satisfy all tastes, it is a game for the ones looking to be amazed.

    Nioh 3 stays true to the franchise’s roots and focuses on refining its formula to deliver its most polished, deep, and satisfying gameplay experience to date. Combat shines brighter than ever thanks to the introduction of the Ninja and Samurai styles, while exploration gains new relevance with the addition of open maps, making progression highly rewarding. Although the limited enemy variety, a boring story, and repeated elements from previous entries can create a sense of déjà vu, the game largely succeeds in its goals and stands as franchise most complete entry yet. It’s not a revolution, but rather the natural evolution many action fans were hoping for.

    Persona 3 Reload is a fantastic remake that treats with extreme care a JRPG masterpiece to deliver a modern version that respects its original version. ATLUS understood perfectly what adjustments had to be made for Persona 3 to reach the standards that came to the franchise thanks to Persona 5, but without making the mistake of leaning too much towards what the 2016 game delivered.

    StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm presents a radical change in relation to the previous game. Kerrigan's story ends satisfactorily, although it seems a little clichéd at times, and the new gameplay mechanics are fun and they add a needed breath of fresh air to the single player campaign.

    Full of sensuality and with the best hack and slash action around, Bayonetta 3 is easily the best in the trilogy. It's a celebration that pushes the power of Nintendo's console to the limit.

    Reign of the Warlock may not introduce a new act, but it lays the groundwork for a bold new era of Diablo II. Blizzard proves that revitalizing a 26-year-old classic is not only possible, but genuinely exciting.

    Ghost of Yōtei is a visually stunning and immersive open-world experience with satisfying combat, and an emotionally resonant narrative. While the game's secondary content and open-world structure can be repetitive, it carefully balances beauty and brutality, offering a memorable journey through feudal Japan. It refines the formula of its predecessor, earning its place as a standout title on PlayStation 5.
