Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition shines because the magic of the originals is as relevant as it was more than 20 years ago. The games themselves are second to none, but the remaster sticks to the basics and offers a simple updated version of the classics.

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.

Big Blue Bubble managed to create a fun metroidvania that relies on an agile combat system and responsive controls to build an absolutely great experience. Its greatest achievement is its difficulty curve that always demands more of us but never resorts to the old tricks of artificial difficulty to extend the duration of the adventure.

Iron Harvest is a good game. KING Art Games did a good job responding to the demand of the players who clearly enjoy these types of games, but with all the ideas they proposed, they could have done something really new. It has a lot of single player content and a good AI both in the campaign and in quick games.

Little Big Workshop, in general terms, is a great management game and it offers very well optimized version on consoles, with very well applied concepts and a simplicity in controls that makes it very friendly for any type of player.

Project CARS 3 carries some of the DNA that has defined the series from its origins, but it is also true that, with the change, part of the identity was lost. This is clear because it's fun, it works and fulfills every proposal, but at the same time, it does not change anything nor does it offer something that distinguishes it from the rest of its competitors.

Cloudpunk is a beautiful cyberpunk adventure when it comes to exploring the city and knowing every little story among its neighborhoods and sky roads. It is a shame that some of its gameplay mechanics are not funny or coherent. Ultimately, the game is worth it for the lore, the characters and the story that will motivate us to play until the end.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is an experience that finds the right point between the nostalgic and the modern. The pacing is sometimes too slow and we can't ignore the repetition of mechanics, but even with these shortcomings it is still a highly recommended title. Fans are undoubtedly going to love it.

Someday You’ll Return is an incredible game with some slips that tarnish the experience. These problems don't ruin the game, of course, but they prevent it from being a must-play. Anyway, it manages to be a recommendable title and, above all, a different one: a breath of fresh air in the first-person horror genre.

Lust From Beyond is another horror game with good ideas executed in a limited way because it comes from a small studio. It stands out for its concept and the game is even a surprise in several aspects. It's a complete, terrifying and varied experience that fulfills horror fans demands even when it does not bring new mechanics.

Even when The White Door has some boring and awkward puzzles, its dark and surreal story is worth your time playing.

In its own way Hellpoint seems like a signature Soulslike, because despite all the mechanics it borrowed from its inspirational series, Cradle Games managed to make an original game. It's a game designed for lovers of the genre, although not for purists, and it has received constant support from the development team so it is expected that future patches will solve the performance problems.

Curse Of The Dead Gods is an ideal option for those people who have already completely spent other roguelikes and are left wanting more.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is a tribute that fans of the original game who want to relive the adventures of Tommy Angelo will greatly enjoy. There are very funny moments along the journey thanks to the characters, who are so charming that they make us forget the monotonous mission design.

The Survivalists manages to deliver what it promises, although that isn't enough to stand out among other titles in the genre. The Escapists series offered an original concept in our attempts to escape from heavily guarded prisons, but this new adventure lacks in terms of originality. The Survivalists is a good game that doesn't take risks beyond its comfort zone.

FIFA 21 feels more like a pre-season game for what is to come in the next-gen version. While it has some considerable improvements in terms of career mode, some changes to the Ultimate Team interface, and a gameplay experience somewhat superior to last year, the rest remains the same.

Blair Witch is, above everything else, an adventure full of good ideas. Despite some technical issues, it is a breath of fresh air, a first-person experience that does not fall into the cliché of being a jumpscare roller coaster or a simple horror walking simulator.

From the point of view of the narrative, Through the Darkest of Times is a fascinating and very important game so that we never forget the atrocities that stain the history of the 20th century. However, if you are looking for a good strategy game, better look elsewhere.

Trek to Yomi is impressive as a tribute to Akira Kurosawa and definitely has great audiovisual production, with renowned anime voice actors and amazing soundtrack. In terms of gameplay, however, it falls short.

Forskpoken isn't a bad game, but it isn't outstanding either. If you get interested in its universe, whether for its story or combat, it won't leave you indifferent. However, the game doesn't dazzle, and it might not meet the expectations of all players.

Drawing on an arsenal of side missions that were already repetitive in 2013, this title is ideal for those who wanted that old GTA experience, but not for those looking for something next gen. Still, this comeback has things to offer: main missions often have great Uncharted-like action moments, customisation is still great and the story is so well written that I was left wanting a TV series. Saints Row is effective, but generic".

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.

Ninjala is a pleasant surprise. I expected absolutely nothing from it due to its generic appearance, but I found myself playing until the wee hours of the morning, immersed in its spectacular fights. It takes lot of time to learn to play it, to read correctly the chaos that their confrontations seem to unfold, but once this obstacle is overcome, a bunch of great battles awaits us.

Burnout Paradise Remastered offers the possibility of feeling the adrenaline and speed that we enjoyed so much a decade ago; And that is priceless.

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.

Night Call works best when it allows us to relax and enjoy discovering the little stories hidden in Paris, some darker than others, and some even surreal and funny. The story and characters keep us engaged it is a highly recommended game for lovers of narrative experiences.

NBA 2K21 is still the best in terms of simulation and production values that can be found in the sports genre, but the truth is that this is no longer enough to make it essential. In fact, gamers who already own 2K19 or 2K20 should stay there, unless they are dedicated to competing online and want to always be up to date.

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.

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

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning isn't the best Action RPG today, but at the time it was so good that it felt like a window into the future of the genre. After replaying it, it's clear that it has aged like a good wine, because it manages to connect two aspects as important as an accessible but deep combat and a huge world full of characters and stories to discover.

Doraemon: Story of Seasons is a game with a slow start and a story that feels like a mere excuse. But it is also true that those of us who play these types of games do so by projecting a long-term farm. If we're patient, we will find an experience that rewards us handsomely and turns out to be one of the most complete farm games out there.

Sonic Colors Ultimate is the best way to enjoy the 2010 classic and remains one of the best modern Sonic games.

F1 2021 is not the great evolution or the step forward that we expected. The reasons are in plain sight and neither the context nor what happens depends on Codemasters.

With all its small improvements and a lot of content to make, Madden 21 offers a slightly better package than in previous years. However, it does not finish kicking the board or revolutionizing its mechanics; we're still waiting for a football game to blow us away.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is clearly a game from another generation. There is a lot here that the series still does well, particularly when it comes to setting and story. However, years don't come alone, and the quality of this remastered, along with the game's control problems of controls, really make the experience less interesting.

Cris Tales stumbles more than we would like it to. It's a shame because, with some adjustments, the game might have been a true classic.

UFC 4 is a game that looks like no other inside the octagon, but that has problems in giving us something else that lives up to that, falling short in game modes as well as blurring a sport that to this day continues to fight for legitimacy.

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.

Double Kick Heroes is an original experience with strong foundations and lot of love. Unfortunately, all that love and dedication cannot mask the problem of its main mechanics and, although this is far from ruining the game, it is a discomfort that takes a long time for the player to get used to.

Sand Land is the latest video game adaptation of one of Akira Toriyama's works, presenting us with a world devoid of water, tyrants, bandits, and numerous secrets. With a simple open world and outdated combat, Sand Land falls short of offering a complete experience to the player.

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.

At the end of the day, Sker Ritual offers solid gameplay, with a nice arsenal, enemies with unique powers that add to the difficulty, and a well-balanced mix of waves and objectives. Visually, it has very detailed work. The problem is that what makes it great at the beginning ends up condemning it when thinking about the game in the long term.

Kao's return after so many years is definitely a caress to the hearts of all those fans who enjoyed it during their childhood. It is also an invitation for all of those who were busy with Mario, Donkey Kong, Crash and Spyro to get to know and appreciate it.

These two new remakes will likely be remembered as the weakest, especially considering that they are stuck in the middle of Sword & Shield, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus which is only due out in a few months.

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).

Immortals of Aveum is a fun magical FPS that takes place in a colorful and spectacular world made in Unreal Engine 5. It has a frenetic and agile combat system, a modest replayability component and a fresh proposal. However, its predictable story, flat characters and the irregular aesthetic presentation end up being a difficult burden to drag. When it shows its best side it is pure fun, but when the action slows down and the dialogues, the exploration of generic areas and the constant updating in the forge begin, it can become repetitive and even tedious.

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.

Noreya: The Gold Project is a recommended title for anyone who enjoys the genre. Even though it doesn't revolutionize, it offers a very good experience thanks to its puzzles, platforming, and artistic style.

Trinity Fusion fulfills its primary function, which is to entertain and challenge. Its strong point is its agile and entertaining combat system, which invites us to dodge at the last moment and combine the temporary improvements that we have acquired. It is designed with the idea that there is always a way to dodge damage and that, potentially, we could go through the entire game without being touched. That guarantees interesting bosses with logical attack patterns, which we can learn to dodge and windows to counterattack.

Cookie Cutter is an interesting metroidvania, but with some contrasts. On the one hand we have Cherry, with her vulgar and violent personality, a remarkable artistic section and a varied group of charismatic NPCs. But on the other hand, Subcult Joint's work can't escape the typical tropes of the genre. It is a game that, at the end of the day, is built on the guidelines of a genre that borders on over-exploitation. Even so, it is still a very fun video game that stands out for several reasons. In other words, it is not a perfect or revolutionary title, but it is one that is worth giving a chance.

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.

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.

The Wonderful 101 Remastered is a game that definitely has style, personality, and attitude. However, during the process of leaving the WiiU behind, it has lost some of its charm. This is a remastering work that feels right, but it's also awkward sometimes due to how it solves some Wii U's features such as dual-screen mechanics.

This definitive edition of Age of Empires III will doubly be able to get rid of the "black sheep" label. However, the changes in the interface, as well as being able to choose the HUD of the game that best suits our way of playing, alternating between the classic and the new one, changing the position of the resources and all the indicators, make this game the best version of Age III but, unfortunately, it will have to compete against the prejudices of the vast majority of fans who ignored it for so long.

With Wonder Boy Collection, Westone and ININ Games prove to have a good idea that fails in its execution.

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.

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.

Scars Above is a good, fairly classic action-adventure game with fun gameplay and an interesting story. It takes design ideas from Returnal and, with that, offers its own unique approach. a short game that marks a good debut for this indie studio.

Let’s Sing Queen is a title that fulfills a very simple wish: to sing Queen songs. The game doesn't need to be much more than that, although it still feels like it lacks more songs, tributes from other bands to Queen, behind the scenes, or some kind of extra content.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is easy to recommend on PC and Xbox One for its low price, but not so much on Playstation 4. The improvements over the original trilogy are noticeable, both in quality and in variety, and if you have company in this zombie hell, you'll find a satisfying experience that has a lot to offer.

Although what Madden NFL 23 has to offer is very generous in terms of content, EA still doesn't manage to give this series the 'TV feeling' that games like F1 or NBA 2K have. Similarly, there are improvements in collisions and graphic updates, but the game was released with bugs of all kinds that affected players on all platforms, which keeps this new release from reaching the glory as Madden did in its time.

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers stands out as one of the most acclaimed titles in the series. Its 2025 version maintains that strength, but feels a little short in terms of new features.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind is designed for true fans of the series, being the Final Mix that fans were waiting for. But its high price, even for the most loyal ones, is undoubtedly its weakest and most critical point.

Despite its shortcomings, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree manages to stand out among roguelike games thanks to its visuals, combat, and progression.

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.

Marvel Rivals is not a bad video game, but I think it has much more to offer to the Marvel fan than to the gamer. It takes advantage of all the knowledge of that universe to make a competitive multiplayer experience and in that field it manages to bring the two worlds very close in short, entertaining and dynamic matches.

The Spirit of the Samurai is a very creative and ambitious game, although with nuances. It is a game that presents an interesting story, but its execution on a playable level leaves something to be desired. The stop motion animation is frankly impressive, but it seems to have been achieved at the cost of a lack of polish in its systems. The title loses important points because of all this, although it also wins because of the courage Digital Mind had to try something different.

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.

Today, the skateboarding genre seems to be living a renaissance: Tony Hawk will return, one day there will be Skate 4, and Skater XL is now here and, against all odds, stands out by its own merits, with an offer that speaks to a very specific audience.

In The House of the Dead Remake, the experience of the classic original is still there, with some changes in different aspects that help to keep it updated and enjoyable for today's times.

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.

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.

Ghosts' n Goblins Resurrection is a great throwback with fresh ideas, accessibility for all types of players, and original art-book visuals. Its greatest failure are its controls since they can only be described as "frustrating".

Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is an odd game. It's the best tennis game in recent years, but it's really discouraging to see how much it lacks a final polishing.

Last Epoch takes the genre dominated by Diablo IV and Path of Exile by surprise, with a proposal that, thanks to its accessibility and variety in character development, manages to become a more than interesting alternative.

It's an experience that delivers just enough, plays on automatic and doesn't quite do a fine job of making itself a memorable video game. It's not a bad start by any means for a new sub-franchise, but it would be ideal if Nintendo decided to bet heavily on the character regardless of how well this game sells and that we already have a sequel in development. Time will tell how committed the Big N is to this cause.

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.

Microtopia puts us in control of an ant colony in a management and automation game that does not reinvent the genre, but does its job to be an enjoyable installment for new and old players alike.

Finding a reason to pay for Trackmania subscription will be difficult, even for fans. In technical terms, the game lives up to its name and it is good to have it downloaded to spend a few minutes on the track of the day or try to improve our records, challenging users from all over the world. As for the rest of the package, it offers a service that nobody asked for and that, in the long term, will end up taking the game off the tracks.

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World isn't much of a facelift of the original version. However, it's a nice family game and a good addition to the Nintendo Switch catalog. Retro gamers will prefer to play the older Wonder Boy titles.

The biggest flaw in The Falconeer is trying to be an aerial action RPG. While this isn't going to be your type of game if you are looking for a more traditional RPG, The Falconeer invites you to disconnect and start flying without any limits, an experience that no one should miss.

Outlaws is an experience that, based on stealth and the most western adventure of Star Wars, offers a version of this franchise that we have not yet tasted in video games. It's not perfect and has several issues that are already common in this type of Ubisoft game, but it has heart and knows what to offer fans of the saga.

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.

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.

Pokémon Legends Z-A has a good ideas and executes them well. Beyond that, it fails to replicate the achievements of previous games or expand on its premise significantly.

Episode Aigis offers more than what Persona 3 Reload gave us. The social balance isn't present in this expansion, but the closure and narrative crumbs are appreciated in its 30 hours of gameplay.

Unfortunately, the technical side of the game isn't up to the same level as the art style. But fans of classic platformers will find a decent game with pure puzzle gameplay.

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.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is much better than I expected before playing it. It's a fairly polished experience and close to what a fan of the wizarding world would want from this sport. However, in pursuit of making a good gameplay loop, it overcomplicates things that don't make sense and falls short.

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.

With the best of the classics in the genre and without losing sight of the present, MainFrames delivers a challenging platformer that fulfills its mission.

Atomfall offers a deep narrative experience in which exploration predominates. The combat system leaves much to be desired, as does enemy AI, but it is so immersive that everything else can take a back seat.

Freedom Wars is still a good game in 2025, and there is much to discover in the secrets of the Panopticon for those who did not play it at the time. For those who did, maybe it's time to explore other worlds.

Kill It With Fire manages to make us feel like it's much more than just a mindless game. It doesn't want to change the world neither wants to be more than an excuse to have a good time. If you like this type of hilarious and destructive sandbox, this game is another good candidate to add to your collection.

It's been a long time since I played Orcs Must Die!, but this franchise and this studio are always at the forefront of trying to apply new ideas to the genre and take it a little further, which is always appreciated.

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

Another success in terms of historic preservation, and it's worth nothing that it's still a great game, but there's not much there to talk about Luigi's Mansion 2 again.
