Hogwarts Legacy has a fun and exciting combat system, and its visuals are simply beautiful. The school and other locations are full of life and details. Without a doubt, it's an amazing, huge and magical game; a charming journey that transports us to the world of Harry Potter.

After 16 long years, PC gamers can finally play one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Final Fantasy IX may not have next gen graphics or high quality sound, but it does give the player a great story to follow with unforgettable characters.

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.

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.

An outstanding open-world JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X is precisely what the Wii U needed: an ambitious title with hundreds of hours of adventure. The improved combat mechanics, mechs and massive content make it a must buy for the owners of the platform.

A homage to Defender, Resogun is a competent, albeit rather short, horizontal shooter that greatly integrates its game mechanics even if it lacks the complexity and raw power of high arcade shooting.

SOMA is a great psychological horror experience that sci-fi enthusiasts should not miss for the world. It’s a philosophical, deep, and well written story that encourages players to think and explore as they descent into the abyss.

2033 Redux is the definitive version of the 2010 misunderstood cult title. It now gives players the option to play it their way with the new Spartan and Survival modes, which will broaden its thin audience.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is an interactive tale that immerses us in a shadowy and humor-filled narrative right from the start. With its distinct style of creatively unraveling puzzles, it keeps us engaged from beginning to end. Retaining the game's original essence while enhancing its visual appeal was a commendable choice. This version serves as a deserving tribute to a truly original game that went unnoticed during its initial release.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a time capsule that honors the origins of one of the most influential franchises in gaming history. Digital Eclipse delivered a faithful release packed with historical content that lovingly celebrates the series’ legacy. However, its high price, technical issues, limited online features, and lack of deeper quality-of-life improvements keep it from achieving perfection. Even so, it fulfills its purpose: preserving Mortal Kombat’s history while offering a nostalgic experience for veterans and an accessible one for newcomers. It may not be a Flawless Victory, but it certainly lands a powerful blow to the heart of every fan.

Yes, it has some great reimagined graphics, and it represents a solid return to the Oddworld universe when it works as it's supposed to. However, New 'n' Tasty lacks some precision in the analog controls, it has almost no replay value and lacks imagination on the cooperative front, so this isn't the perfect remake by no stretch of the imagination, nor it stands close to great representatives of the platform/stealth genre, such as Another World or LIMBO.

Draft Champions and the improved passing game confirm Madden NFL 16 as one of the best sporting experiences out there. Having said that, this is not the revolutionary title it was last year.

Although lacking a bit in terms of innovation when compared with previous iterations, FIFA 14 remains a well balanced, profound and addictive soccer experience, that will be enjoyed by rookies and veterans alike.

Jusant is the perfect combination of a relaxed and contemplative experience with challenge and mystery. It is unique, fun and beautiful.

Spiritfarer's journey fulfills from start to finish. No matter how sad its premise is, it is something you must experience, especially for its premise that recognizes that there is a beginning and an end, but what matters is what happens along the way.

The End is Nigh ultra precise platform challenges will make you throw you controller at the wall with frustration. Still, you will return to its charismatic, intelligent and well designed world in a masochistic loop that reminds us of its elder brother: Super Meat Boy.

Control takes us right the other side of that door you do not remember having unlocked, to the middle of the that dark hall that you started crossing while thinking that there’s nothing hiding in the dark, specially not behind you. The dark tone and creepy setting of the Oldest House remains all through your adventure and even though you’ll eventually get enough powers to kick around any enemy you find, you’ll never get to chase away that feeling that something is not right. Control is a reminder that Remedy is still a developing powerhouse.

FIFA 16 doesn’t reinvent the wheel and needs to refresh its visuals but still, the addition of female soccer players with its own physics on top of the adjustments made on the pitch and to the career modes, make it a better game without a doubt.

ArtePiazza understood what elements needed to be improved to deliver a remake that went beyond better graphics. This is Super Mario RPG for a new era and a new audience, with improvements that bring it closer to modern standards. It's hard to say that the remake will replace the gem that is the original, but it's another jewel that deserves to sit alongside it.

This is truly the definitive edition of a great hack and slash game. The exclusive additions may seem dreary, but they actually refresh the fighting system and serve as a return to the roots of the franchise. This is a well-made re-edition.

Ghost of Tsushima is a slight surprise. It is an all-around experience which delivers the fantasy of being a mythical samurai warrior. However, not everything shines, especially with the stealth systems, that do not square up, mechanically nor thematically. As the old saying goes, a samurai cannot obey 2 masters, because he dishonors himself. Thus, Ghost of Tsushima is a reminder of why Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are generational gems and benchmarks in open world terms.

While this game offers the same magnificent platform experience than the original Wii version, it suffers from issues associated with the smaller screen. The new controls are precise, specially now that you don't have to shake the controller. Even though the art direction and the levels where designed with a TV screen in mind, the 3D effect really enhances the backgrounds and environments. Challenging, fun and solid, the game design of this title shines even through its flaws and the patches that where made while adapting it for the 3DS.

Thanks to the way in which the history of video games developed, Metroidvania as a genre continues to nourish the romanticism that surrounds the titles that gives it a name. In that sense, Guacamelee!2 is a worthy representative of the genre since it complies with the elements required to be approved by enthusiasts, old and new school players. As promised, DrinkBox Studios has taken the series to the next level and everything has been greatly improved. The merit of the Canadian studio is that the game is capable of expressing itself through its mechanics.

Persona 5 Strikers is a pleasant surprise that renews the way games in the musou style are made and directs it towards the RPG genre. It may arrive without much unbridled action and spectacular movements, but integrates an element of strategy, and character development with a well-paced story. In all, it's an outstanding teenage road story that breaks the mold. We have no doubt Persona 5 fans will enjoy it from start to finish.

Despite an uneven evolution on and off the pitch, FIFA 18 manages to muster enough innovation and improvements to make it a worthy iteration of the franchise with a fleshed out Journey mode, the interactive transfers, and the real motion technology as its most juicy contributions. While the unbalanced action on the pitch and some abandoned modes constitute the most glaring weaknesses.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will make you feel right at home. With a polished experience, additional content and renovated graphics, kart enthusiasts will find this game simple, yet totally entertaining.

As you would expect from a point and click game, almost the complete value of Life is Strange resides on its narrative. There are a few moments in which gameplay takes center stage, but it ends up being crushed by the intensity of the story and the development of the characters. Having said that, in order to really enjoy the experience, you better play the complete game, as it is getting better with each chapter.

Without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts is a satisfactory chapter in one of the most beloved JRPG franchises. It has some problems that could have been ironed out, but it's still a great and magical experience that can be enjoyed by fans and newcomers alike. Ultimately, it was worth the long wait.
