    Valorant
    Although Valorant's life has only just begun, the feeling we have is that it's here to stay in the competitive FPS scene. It's a shooter that feels very good to play, that is very accurate and that, without being exactly original, It combines elements already established to give us a formula that is extremely successful.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia
    The Rogue Prince of Persia stands out for its character's agility and combat. With fast-paced and balanced progression, the game is a great option for those who want to get into the roguelite genre.

    Fall Guys
    Sharing Fall Guys with someone is ideal, but the laughs will come even when we're playing alone. This funny experience is enhanced by a visual style that could only be defined as eye candy and a simple, but catchy, soundtrack that makes us dance throughout the game.

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
    With a new installment after 26 years, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a great game for veterans of the genre, but newcomers will find it a tough wall to climb with little content tailored to them.

    Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection
    Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection lives up to the circumstances, not only because it includes 6 six fantastic games, but also because of the quality of the emulation and the extras.

    Arise: A Simple Story
    Arise’s main attraction is its story - a pleasing artistic experience. Each level symbolizes a moment of our character’s life, not only in the narrative sense, but also thematically and aesthetically. As a video game, on the other hand, Arise doesn’t add up to much, as the objectives aren’t clear enough and its controls are less responsive than they should be.

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink
    At a certain point, it becomes challenging to find the ideal words to describe Granblue Fantasy: Relink because I feel that none are sufficient. Rare are the games that leave me feeling this way. Those games that, no matter how hard I try to find a negative aspect, I cannot. Those games that I want to keep playing for hours on end without a break, like when I was a carefree child. Those games that remind me why I love video games. And Granblue Fantasy: Relink is one of those games.

    Lies of P
    Lies of P joins the list of this year's great releases and is a must for all soulslike fans. While it takes many of the elements already known in Dark Souls and Bloodborne, it manages to have its own identity with a great character design, a unique setting and a narrative that knows how to grow through the whole experience.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King
    Paper Mario: The Origami King is made with care and love; it's clear that its developers know this universe perfectly and adore it as much as Mario fans. Despite some difficulty peaks, bosses are cleverly designed, they are visually striking and some even perform a memorable musical number. There is so much to love about this new Paper Mario and that's why we can't stop recommending it, even with its imperfections.

    Pepper Grinder
    Pepper Grinder is a challenging, fresh and innovative platform game. Armed with a drill and the sole desire to recover the loot of a pirate shipwreck, we will enjoy an experience that stands out for its good mechanics, excellent level design, beautiful pixel art and a great soundtrack.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins
    Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a very good video game, recommended for all those interested in the genre and who are eager to annihilate thousands of enemies with devastating moves. Both for new and old players of the franchise, the title is positioned as a more than outstanding proposal.

    New Pokemon Snap is a good and nostalgic game, but it falls a bit short for what the franchise and its players deserve. While this won't hurt the series reputation, it cannot be denied that this new game does not take real risks.

    Bugsnax
    Bugsnax is a game that wants to make us feel good, that seeks to be as enjoyable as possible while still entertaining us and making us think. With mystery, humor, heart, wit and creativity, the folks at Young Horses give us one of the most special titles of this final stretch of the year and an excellent addition to the PS Plus catalog for those who own a PS5.

    House Flipper 2
    In summary, although the title doesn't reinvent the genre's formula, it's a very good sequel that everybody who played the first title will enjoy. Besides, it has a nice graphic design that makes both the external and internal views enjoyable. House Flipper 2 covers many mechanics, but it manages to let the player customize his experience, either by focusing on cleaning or on building and decorating.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
    While a fun game like the others in the franchise, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii doesn't do much to justify its existence in a series where plot and character development are among the main draws. It's a good pirate adventure, but I can't say for sure it is a good Yakuza game.

    Ultros
    Ultros is a unique metroidvania that focuses its proposal on the exploration of an exquisitely dreamlike, colorful, and psychedelic map. It falls short in terms of action but compensates with deep exploration, rewarding environmental puzzles, and a spectacular aesthetic section.

    The Quarry
    The Quarry has everything that fans of horror and the studio enjoy, but nothing more. Modes for group decision making or just enjoying it as a movie add replay value, but at the end of the day it highlights how it's time for Supermassive Games to start innovating more in their storytelling.

    Resident Evil 3
    Resident Evil 3 as a survival horror hits the spot, and, as a remake, it's another great game by Capcom. It feels less unique and less ambitious compared to Resident Evil 2 which, arriving earlier, inevitably kicked in with all its surprises and ended up being the basis for this sequel. Comparisons are inevitable, but this does not mean that Resident Evil 3 does not live up to the expectations, especially with what Nemesis means, a monster that's been causing nightmares for more than 20 years. It's an essentially faithful remake, with few shortcomings and just the right changes to make it worthwhile both for fans and newcomers alike.

    Spellbreak
    Spellbreak's greatest achievement is making each game feel truly different because of the depth and variety of its combat, creating many different situations. Taking cover and shooting doesn't solve everything: in every second of a fight we have numerous options and strategies to adopt, and each one will take the fight on a different side.

    Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide
    If I think of Final Fantasy XVI today as a package to play from start to finish, I think of an unparalleled expedition with a lot to tell, with its two expansions, about a world slowly approaching ruin. Perhaps, being a slave to the excitement and mystery of Japanese plot twists made me wait longer than I should have. Perhaps, the "terrible and lost" Leviathan was nothing more than a hope for the players, one that Clive knew from the start would not change his actions and that, in the end, he would have to say goodbye to his fans.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity manages to be highly recommended. Even those who don't enjoy Musou games will feel rewarded by how Koei Tecmo and Omega Force managed to translate the Breath of the Wild experience into a very different genre, from the sensations of touring Hyrule and meeting their characters in a story with all the tropes of an anime, to every detai. in combat.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost ON is a difficult game to recommend. As a fighting game, it isn't bad; on the contrary, it is impressive that, with such a high number of characters, it manages to be a balanced game. The problem is, it doesn't have much more than that to offer, even for Gundam fans.

    Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an experience that, although it repeats itself a lot at times, is quite fun.

It's not a bad return for the franchise, but it also falls in the middle of other great RPG experiences even for the same character.

    Another Crab's Treasure isn't the messiah of souls, but it doesn't pretend to challenge From Software's work either, but it does take the basic elements that the studio knew how to create and bring them to its comfort zone to generate a unique, narrative experience, with a lot of humour and which is an excellent entry point for new users to this genre. Those who are already familiar with these experiences will feel at home and will not find it hard to get into this underwater world that, by dint of great moments and a package of good ideas, undoubtedly generates more smiles than anxiety.

An ideal entertainment for when we only need something temporary and fun.

    Bravely Default II
    Bravely Default's old-school influences make it quite a peculiar game. It has an excellent combat system, full of strategies and really charming characters, but the story can be very simple and the mandatory grinding moments extend the game to about 60 hours of which not all are worth it. For those who want a JRPG with modern nuancess this game may not be a big deal, but for those looking for a game like the old ones, in Bravely Default 2 they will feel at home.

    Somewhat in line with what happened with Mario Kart World, this new Mario Tennis fails to break away from or expand on what its predecessors did, giving us a little more of the (good) stuff we already knew.

    Samurai Shodown
    Samurai Shodown is the reboot the saga needed and one of the best modern fighting games. It has what is needed to become a competitive title on a par with the best games in the genre. It doesn't have much content for those who enjoy single player, but it has a solid base and a balanced and original combat system.

    PGA Tour 2K21
    While playing PGA Tour 2K21, we find a refreshing and complete game; a worthy representative of golf and a great sports game. Beyond the small imperfections, perhaps its main failure is how familiar it feels to those of us who have been playing The Golf Club regularly.

    SaGa Scarlet Grace: Ambitions
    Beautiful art, a rousing soundtrack and an appealing combat system can’t compensate for the game’s weaknesses: poor tutorials, unintuitive mechanics, and two-dimensional characters. Fans of the series and old-school JRPG nostalgics may overlook its flaws and endure it all with a smile - I couldn’t.

    Weird West
    Weird West is original and offers a fresh, immersive and highly entertaining experience. Its high points include a gripping story in which all our actions matter and a beautiful artwork. The game has obvious limitations, but manages to capture the essence of the Wild West.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II
    The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II correctly develops this new chapter of the series, introducing new concepts and further exploring the characters that will accompany us until the end of the adventure.

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human
    Dying Light 2: Stay Human isn't a revolution as the first game, but it is a solid entry with hours and hours of content, although probably not as long as 500 hours. It has everything it needs to become a game that fans are going to love.

    Broken Lines
    Broken Lines isn’t the typical indie strategy game that presents itself as a simple clone of XCOM or another AAA title. It offers a bunch of mechanics that feels new, with compelling storytelling.

    TopSpin 2K25
    If what you're looking for is to play tennis, TopSpin 2K25 is the best way to do it in 2024. If you want something more or to play casually, the presence of microtransactions and the limited variety of professional players (which is not the case for the stadiums!) do not justify the price to pay.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands doesn't kick the board to reformulate the Borderlands series, but it brings enough fresh air to boost the series. The game characters, dialogues and craziness are much more interesting, dynamic and fun than in previous entries, and they provide a good base on which to build future titles in the franchise.

    Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen
    The work of Creative Business Unit 3 is once again reflected in a short experience that leaves us wanting to see much more of what's to come next year. Echoes of the Fallen is more of Final Fantasy XVI, with its hits and misses. Let's hope that Naoki Yoshida and his team will display more of the possibilities that this world has to offer in its next release.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lives up to the series, with a brilliant campaign and content-packed multiplayer modes, yet the online experience is overshadowed by a handful of ugly menus, few initial operators, and bland cosmetic items.

    Mortal Shell
    Mortal Shell is the first soulslike to understand the true essence of the genre and, therefore, deserves a place above any other exponent not developed by From Software. Despite its weaknesses, it's one of the most exciting, well executed and beautiful soulslikes I have played in the last decade.

    Coffee Talk
    Despite being too similar to its inspirations, Coffee Talk is a unique blend of love for retro style, chillout music and a surprisingly vivid and fantasy portrayal of Seattle. A beautiful and relaxing experience that succeeds as a hybrid of barista simulation and traditional visual novel.

    The Crew Motorfest
    It's not a frustrating game, nor is it a bad proposal, but it does fall halfway down the road by failing to stand out. The open world that invites us to go through the playlists, before unlocking fast travel, is aesthetically appealing, but it feels like a ghost town where nothing happens and our gameplay loop lacks basic fun. The playlists are a great aspect, but not all of them are interesting to explore, leaving aside the strong offering of vehicles with anecdotal experiences that aren't all that worthwhile. On the plus side, it continues to appeal to arcade adrenaline. While it wants to copy something that was previously successful, it doesn't end up being a meaningless copy.
