PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is a striking mix between visual novel and graphic adventure with small touches of horror and totally new mechanics for the genre.

With Frostpunk 2, 11 bit studios once again tests our resolve with a city builder where failure is part of the experience, and weaving a political web involving multiple factions is just as crucial as surviving the apocalypse.

Tunic offers a new experience, and even when it reminds us of Zelda and the Souls games, what keeps us playing is what Tunic can offer on its own.

With few low points and a very well told story, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is another gem from Deconstructeam with the quality seal of Devolver Digital.

Earthion offers a shoot 'em up experience with everything it takes to become an instant classic of the genre and a fantastic soundtrack worthy of Yuzo Koshiro's legacy.

Nioh 2 improves upon many of the things that made the first one so great. It does not necessarily represent an evolution of the saga or the souls-like genre but it has many additions that are welcomed. Team Ninja has created some of the most intense and violent combat of this generation, especially when you get to a boss fight. It takes a great deal of patience and plenty of time to master the game, but it's worth it.

Octopath Traveler 2 is an incredible RPG. This is the type of game that needs to be recommended not only to fans of the genre, but also to those who are not JRPG lovers and want to experience something unique.

Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is what we expected of racing these type of cars: adrenaline given by the mechanics of the game and an exorbitant show. All this makes up a package that can be taken very seriously by scale model fans and enjoyed in the most arcade-like way possible by newcomers of the hobby.

Death's Door is amazing in many ways, but more than anything for anyone looking for a great single player experience with hours and hours of gameplay and many secrets to discover.

The Alters combines great survival with resource management, exploration and a narrative section with decisions to make. A unique game where our crew will be made up of alternative versions of the protagonist.

The new Kirby game isn't as big as Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey, but is a full of content and fun game that ends up being a must-play for the console and a great choice for any type of player.

Shadow Gambit is one of the pleasant surprises of this 2023. A title that presents a catching and delicate mix between gameplay and narrative, which does not leave out veterans as well as those who are new to the genre.

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut must have been the original version of a masterpiece that knew how to never leave anybody unmoved, being unique at the same time. For those who have PS5 and have not played Death Stranding, this Director's Cut is a must for their library. But for those who have already played Sam Porter Bridges's story, the incentives to replay this version are not so juicy.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is the best of the series, the one with best gameplay design, but also the most difficult of all. Its new mechanics go well with the franchise, the new modes and characters add a lot to the replayability, and, at the same time, they are a love letter to fans.

117: Pax Romana is a solid city builder that offers all the tools needed to build the Rome we imagine, raising the bar for one of the best sagas in the genre.

Two Point Museum is presented as a fun and accessible proposal, with an extremely familiar gameplay loop and some novelties up its sleeve that make Two Point Studios' work a devourer of free time.

Blasphemous 2 is a purist metroidvania, with an emphasis on exploration, that surpasses its predecessor without leaving aside everything that made it unique. It is fun, challenging, spectacular and better balanced.

The best thing about Streets of Rage 4 is that it feels like a real comeback. In a world where everyone is rummaging through an old toy drawer to see what movie, series or game can be revived, this title feels like a natural step in the franchise. Of course, it's not a revolution in the genre because it repeats both virtues and failures from the past. Streets of Rage is back to stay.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is everything we needed. It's a game we'll constantly come back to for single player or with friends, in local co-op and over the internet, to find all the hidden secrets and cameos. Tribute Games shows its years of experience and Dotemu is now the new authority on modern beat 'em ups, after Streets of Rage 4.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a constant blur in my brain. What I see, and what I hear, is not felt in my hands, which return to the late '80s and embark on a pixel art adventure, but now more HD than ever. This is not bad, on the contrary, it is a dichotomy that no other remake or remastering has made me feel until now.

A very skilled hybrid game between point-and-click adventure and platformer. The plot and the surprises it has in store make it a very special, unique and absolutely satisfying game.

This is the best game in the Harry Potter universe to date, but beyond that, it is a great title that offers a user-friendly experience for newcomers to open-world RPGs with a wide range of possibilities to guarantee hours of fun.

The strong point of Resident Evil Village is variety: it's a great survival horror that offers the best of the genre at once.

Black Mesa will probably go down in history as one of the most ambitious, successful, eye-catching and exciting fan-made projects. Its value as a remake is very high: it elevates in every respect the original Half-Life by Valve and even adds a lot of content. It is definitely the best way to enjoy this story.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a great game at the end of the day because it understands what makes a great experience, introduces new characters to fall in love with, and tells a deep story. Miles may have a long way to go, but if there's one thing this game proves, it's that the suit isn't too big for him.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a must if you are interested in adventure or mystery games and detective stories, with great characters, a narrative rhythm that doesn't stop, and several plot twists.

Spiritfarer turned out to be a grand sea adventure of resource management, which added a generous collection of stories through a memorable cast of characters, all of them animated in a most sublime way so to give this game a feeling of pure magic.

The quintessential ninja makes his triumphant return to his roots with The Game Kitchen as developer, offering a spectacular audiovisual experience and polished, action-packed 2D gameplay. One of the best in the genre.

Doom: The Dark Ages is fun, brutal and a great twist on classic gameplay. The shield and new weapons are great additions, but the dragon and giant robot are an unnecessary and poorly resolved distraction.

Sucker Punch delivers an epic Samurai adventure that is constantly debating what kind of game it wants to be, just as its protagonist questions his own actions and responsibility. Ghost of Tsushima is the pinnacle of a genre represented by great exponents. However, the game not only does not seem to bring anything particularly new, but neither does it raise the bar or represent an evolution in open world games.

Even with its performance problems, Yakuza Remastered Collection is much more than a simple remaster, it is a great way to keep updated one of the best series that modern gaming has given us.

If you love the Persona series, you have to play Persona 5 Strikers, and if you have never played any of these games before, but want to dive into a beautiful engaging universe, you should consider giving it a try.

Battlefield 6 marks the triumphant return of the series with a solid campaign, spectacular multiplayer, and the leadership of Vince Zampella, who brings back the game's tactical and cooperative essence.

Nier Replicant is a must-play for fans because it is the best version of the original Nier to date. A very personal and, above all, emotional and unique game. A journey full of feelings in which nothing is what it seems and never ceases to amaze us with each new ending.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure doesn't reinvent anything but it does well what a 3D platformer can do well. Unfortunately, the solo experience doesn't have the same excitement as playing it in co-op. In fact, playing single player means missing the multiplayer levels. If you have someone to share it with, you are going to find an adventure that makes you smile at all times, offering lots of fun. A challenge for adults and children.

The charm of its main character and a great world building elevate an experience that would otherwise be somewhat of a letdown. The narrative is really engaging and the artistic direction is top notch, but there's not much else to do in terms of mechanics and exploration. At the same time, if you love cats, this is could end up being a pretty special adventure (and it has a dedicated button to meow, of course).

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster makes Keiji Inafune's work shine on its own, updating key aspects of the gameplay experience and enhancing the technical side while strictly preserving the original essence.

Robobeat offers an experience that, while not escaping the boundaries set by the roguelite genre, fully immerses us in its proposal thanks to rhythm-based gameplay, accompanied by a brutal soundtrack.

Starfield has one of the best new game pluses I've ever tried and the ambition of every edge of the title is continually felt as we play. I was living this experience for over fifty hours, but I could have played five hundred and I would still have so many things to enjoy. There will be a lot of debate about a lot of things about Starfield, but, without a doubt, it is a step forward in the innovation of how new technologies can give us an experience in videogames and it is a work that convincingly goes for much more, something that is increasingly valuable in this field.

Moss returns with an adventure that feels like it was conceived for virtual reality and is only possible thanks to it. Moss: Book II takes the formula of the first part and fills it with steroids to be a bigger and better game, becoming a must-play experience for all those who own VR headset.

I genuinely believe that V Rising has a complete product for almost any type of player. The only reason you shouldn't give it a chance is if you absolutely don't like survival games. The only thing I would like it to have a bit more of is variety in the boss movements (especially in the first half of the game) and more variety in the music, but at least one of those complaints is addressed by the Brutal mode in this version 1.0.

Advance Wars 1+2: ReBoot Camp is a great game for newcomers to the turn-based strategy genre. Bringing this IP back means revaluating a hidden gem, but the additions aren't enough to make this new version a definitive edition of such classic games.

Disc Room is Devolver Digital’s new indie gem, developed by the same team responsible of High Hell, Heavy Bullets, and Minit. In this frantic arcade action game we must survive inside dangerous rooms full of lethal saw discs. It’s an incredibly simple concept, correctly exploited in unexpected directions.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined captivates with its graphics, beautiful story, and charismatic characters. While maintaining its classic essence, it changes some elements to provide an experience in line with the times.

The Plucky Squire is a game that shines with its impeccable art direction, gracefully blending different styles that celebrate the world of video games with each new mechanic. While it has some issues with pacing and a length that can make it feel repetitive, it continues to impress with its creativity on every page of the book.

Death Howl takes deck building and tactical combat and adds soulslike mechanics, offering a solid, coherent, and atmospheric experience that stays with us long after we've played our last card.

Petroglyph Games and Lemon Sky Studios did a more than acceptable work in both the graphic and sound aspects of this remastered, polishing even the smallest detail and giving users the possibility to add content freely, where we will find an enormous amount of fresh stuff to try. We will, once again, put on our commander's uniform to solve international conflicts in the best warlike manner.

Chivalry 2 is a great game that always leaves us feeling like returning to the battlefield, surrounded by teammates, running to the front screaming wildly, to handle out the axe once more.

The proposal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 closes everywhere and, in general, does everything well. It's a game that looks and sounds fantastic, runs great, and is very well optimized. It may seem like it's playing it safe, but in reality there is a strong commitment to returning to the roots of the saga that has paid off.

With solid technical aspects but disappointing gunplay, repetitive encounters, and other flaws, all the good stuff ends up falling flat.

Ruiner has a lot of very well-groomed aspects. The game isn't a prodigy, of course, but it knows its intentions very well and how to achieve them; it has a prodigious execution. The game's length is one of the few weak points not because of the extension itself but because of its abrupt ending.

F1 23 doesn't revolutionize the genre or innovate, but Codemasters and EA Sports undoubtedly bring once again an entertaining, solid and successful racing simulator. If you have never played F1, this can be a good title to get you started in the genre.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars offers three spectacular games in the least inspired way possible. It's amazing to see these games reaching a whole new generation of gamers, but taking into account that Mario is Nintendo's flagship series, they could have made a greater effort.

Synergy is an interesting proposal that stands out thanks to its expedition system and a very nice visuals.

Creaks is the new addition to Amanita Design’s catalogue, with wonderful visual design and puzzle challenges that will please fans of the genre.

If you are looking for a horror game that makes you think, that scares you with original ideas and that makes you empathize with its characters, even when they do not say a single word, you can't miss Little Nightmares II.

Two Point Hospital is a great management simulator, both for nostalgic gamers who missed Theme Hospital and for those who are looking for their first hospital game. Its only shortcomings are the lack of more dynamic tutorials and some AI bugs, but in the rest, it is a solid and charming management/construction title that gives us dozens of hours of pure fun and humor.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is more spectacular than effective. It does what's enough to make it better than many others in the racing genre.

Octopath Traveler 0 blends a stronger story with revamped combat that utilizes a team of eight characters. It combines a rewritten gacha plot with an original story arc, resulting in an intense, varied, and well-crafted experience.

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics may not be the definitive party game; it may have show some obtuse design, but, with this game, Nintendo is adding another unique proposal to its catalog, with the potential to keep us entertained and occupied almost indefinitely. Naturally, I highly recommend it.

There are many reasons why Loop Hero is an amazing game, such as the combination of different mechanics from different genres, setting up the road and your camp as if it were a strategy game, building our hero as if it were an RPG and the story, very similar in storytelling to graphic adventures of yesteryear. All of this makes a combo that everyone should enjoy.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is one of the best RPGs I've played in years, and can be compared head to head with the best exponents of the genre. Every design decision demonstrates Bioware's commitment to the legendary franchise and evidences their intention to return to the saga's origins.

”Wolves” is as short as it is exciting. It’ll hold our attention at every minute, and the outcome of our choices (even the ones we made in earlier episodes) is as surprising as it should be. Life is Strange 2 aims for impact and importance, and even though the game’s social justice message may be a little naive, the ending works.

The Dark Dragon God met his match with Yakumo, the brand-new protagonist of Ninja Gaiden 4. This installment restores the iconic series's relevance with a game packed with action, gore, and spectacular battles.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga can cause some frustrations with its inexplicable design decisions and it is not a "breakthrough" title in the franchise as it was expected. However, it can’t be denied that’s extremely fun to play.

Assassin's Creed Shadows offers a gripping story with charismatic characters, an exquisitely beautiful world and a great stealth system. It's not perfect, but it is undoubtedly one of the best installments of the series.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore has both a J-pop-styled soundtrack and presentation that distinguish it from other JRPGs. Characters are also charming and the combat is extremely engaging despite its high difficulty. However, it is hard to recommend it to those who already played it on Wii U.

Visually incredible, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is still the great game it was at the time. It suffers from not having updated some things that do feel obsolete, because otherwise, it would be impeccable.

The Pedestrian may look like another simple skill-platformer, but the sum of all ofits additional elements —setting, aesthetics, original mechanics— makes it a great game for every fan of the genre.

Elroy and the Aliens is highly recommended for all fans of the genre who are looking for a fun science fiction story with lots of color, humor, charismatic characters and without so much complexity when it comes to solving puzzles.

Bloodroots is a very entertaining game. The influence of Hotline Miami looks good on this game, matching its artistic style very well. However, it loses momentum half way through, with the story becoming predictable, the levels introducing frustrating mechanics, and even by suffering from technical errors.

Songs of Silence is an experience that offers an accessible entry point into the 4X strategy genre with a fun and dynamic approach, featuring top-notch visuals and sound.

Darkest Dungeon 2 succeeds to prove that you can completely change the formula that once worked and still be a great game. Even keeping the elements that made the first one so special.

During the early days of Dragon Ball Z, many characters refer to Gohan as a fighter with great hidden potential, that if he could channel it the right way, he would be even more powerful than Goku. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is like Gohan: a great game that offers a lot and does a lot of things right, but if it had more development time or a better perspective, it could easily rank as the best Dragon Ball title.

SIFU is one of the best titles that came out so far this year. A game that requires full patience and commitment, and rewards attention and dedication with some of the best-executed action sequences and most satisfying combat I've played in years.

An 8-bit unforgettable experience that empowers the player more than several modern games, with a replayability value that is more emotional than mechanical.

Genshin Impact is here to stay. MiHoYo has just released a title that is likely to change everything for free-to-play games. What the game offers today is an incredible experience, with so much content that there are not enough hours of the day to experience it, and all of it is completely free.

Trails of Cold Steel IV is a great farewell letter to the Cold Steel franchise. If you are up to date with the series, then this chapter is a must-play: even when the ending is one of its few drawbacks, it's time to see how the story ends.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 1 is captivating and exciting, with great chemistry between its protagonists. If the future conclusion of the story lives up to this first part, everything points to it being a spectacular story.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is an expansion that improves the original experience. On Xbox Series it offers a smooth experience, with no server outages or bugs and makes Blizzard's classic feel as engaging as it did on day one. The new map is huge, the Spiritualist perhaps one of the most fun classes to play and the endgame content the first substantial improvement to gameplay since its original release.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin isn't for everyone. It's easy to recommend it for Monster Hunter fans, but its faults will be too noticeable for those who aren't lovers of the series or for those who simply can't understand Monster Hunter's appeal.

New Star GP is a casual, arcade game that aims for a particular aesthetic and gameplay that is in short supply these days. I'm glad it exists, and I'm touched by the strong love of motorsport it has present. I think it's a fun videogame to play, even with friends, but I think -empirically- it's an idea that is directly intended for those who enjoy the sport.

All of this makes Stellar Blade a complete and highly enjoyable experience for hack and slash enthusiasts. As a fan of Nier Automata, Stellar Blade's world, story, and soundtrack captivated me and left me eager for a sequel or, at the very least, to keep an eye out for the next release from SHIFT UP studio.

Hellblade II: Senua's Saga" far surpasses its predecessor, offering a technically impressive experience with touches of action and puzzle-solving, where all its elements come together around an emotional work that neither lacks nor exceeds a single second.

Black Myth: Wukong is a fun and challenging hack and slash action game that focuses on dodges, combos, heavy hits, and a large variety of bosses. The title meets the high expectations we had, although the level design left me with a slightly bittersweet taste.

With a distinct cinematic and fast pace approach, Gears Tactics puts its own spin in the genre. While it borrows many things from games like Xcom it is also able to mix the essence of what has made the Gears franchise so popular. The action feels intense, dynamic and the experience can be adapted to many difficulties. Gears Tactics has been a welcome surprise.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is the best musou out there and the one that best knew how to take advantage of its mechanics to deliver a great Fire Emblem.

A short experience that doesn't show great complexity in terms of gameplay, but it's worth playing for its little and engaging story.

Bayonetta Origins is great in terms of ideas, but it gets lost during the execution. A sequel may improve all the aspects that didn't quite work in this first game.

Tempest Rising is a solid RTS that builds its experience on the foundations of Command & Conquer, but offering a solid proposal with much more than nostalgia.

With a new annual edition of the renowned F1, the Codemasters team puts the focus where it needs to be to improve the experience and maintain quality, while inviting new players with user-friendly content.

There is no doubt that the most original stories and proposals in the video game industry are found in indie games now, and Dredge comes to continue confirming this theory with a unique game that mixes the peace of fishing with the tension of a lovecraftian story.

As the saying goes Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is a jack of all trades, master of none. The best moments in Valhalla are the most intimate, those that explore Eivor as a character, sitting by a campfire talking about life with one of her friends. The game has other intentions, and when it tries to tell all the possible stories, it ends up suffering.

Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy is more than pleasant surprise. Even when its combat system doesn't shine, everything is saved by a completely charming story and cast.

Wildfrost has a visual simplicity that hides a depth of gameplay that deserves to be explored. All of its mechanics are carefully thought out to give us an engaging and refreshing experience.

Remnant 2 resorts to an already familiar format: it uses everything that the first instalment already had, but perfects it in its entirety.

Although it may seem that it lacks in content, there is much to enjoy in Mr. DRILLER DrillLand. It is a game that is pure joy and entertainment, proving that, when a game is well designed, no matter how old it gets: it always works.
