More personal and more "out of costume" moments are part of one of the best superhero games we've seen ever. A natural evolution and improved in every aspect over the previous two installments that Insomniac worked to the last detail, and a must-have for any PlayStation 5 user.

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.

Souldiers is one of the best modern metroidvanias and can stand up to any of the genre's favourites. Not only does it have great gameplay and spectacular visuals, but it is truly huge and detailed from start to finish.

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.

Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best games of the year and starts the discussion on whether a racing title like this one could be GOTY. It stands out from the rest of similar games, both in terms of technical and gameplay aspects.

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.

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.

The Final Shape provides a fantastic conclusion to a nearly ten-year narrative. It does so with emotion but without neglecting the spectacular battles with imposing bosses and an exquisite level of action. It is packed with content and serves as the starting point for an intriguing new story arc.

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.

As we get closer to the conclusion, Alan Wake 2 becomes more enthralling. The questions that we thought were solved come back to light and the connections with the studio's other titles become more than evident. In the last stretch, it's the combat that gets in the way of our desire to advance in the story, but even so, each battle against a boss has a twist to enjoy. The ending will make us want to play it again, this time with a new perspective, and knowing the outcome each text and intervention is more enjoyable. Remedy managed to outdo itself and, at the same time, set a new standard for the genre.

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.

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.

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.

Continuous and perfectionist, all at the same time. Astro Bot is one of the best 3D platformers of recent years. Hopefully there will be a lot more of this franchise in development.

Neon White is a hidden gem. The team of Ben Esposito and Geneva Hodgson brings us an ode to first-person gaming and undoubtedly one of the top games of the year.

Little Hope is the game that ends up establishing The Dark Pictures Anthology as the greatest benchmark for interactive horror stories. Man of Medan took a promising first step, but this time the balance between script, acting and interactivity is perfect.

I could give many more examples of how Monster Hunter Wilds rewards our time and willingness to play with its various elements and options while also making sure not to scare away new players. But the reality is that it's much easier to simply recommend Monster Hunter Wilds to everyone. It’s truly an incredible game, and there’s no better time to jump into the franchise.

Metaphor has nothing to envy and establishes itself as a new IP with personality and clear ideas. It executes them throughout the game perfectly, even if the ending becomes a bit tedious due to the overwhelming amount of options regarding how we can spend our time in the game. The narrative is one of the game's strongest aspects, even outside of its genre, and the characters, with only a few exceptions, are all extremely detailed and well-developed.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections proves that Capcom is still doing an impressive job with its iconic franchises. With a fun combat system and an outstanding monster-raising system, it’s a game well worth playing.

All in all, God of War Ragnarok is a complete product and a true continuation of a game that was already almost perfect. Sony Santa Monica kept the aspects that put the original at the top and solved some of its problems, such as the level structure, the little variety of enemies and the lack of balance in the combat system. This is God of War at its highest level.

Persona 3 Reload is one of the best examples of what it means to bring back a title as complex as this into our hands. With all its changes, it feels fresh without losing its originality and sets a precedent for how to seamlessly blend so many gameplay styles into a perfect mix that looks, plays, and sounds top-notch.

Hornet is a worthy successor to Hollow Knight in this sequel that surpasses the original work. The Kingdom of Pharloom is beautiful, with varied settings and exquisite maps that guarantee challenging and fun progression.

With an excellent, deep storyline and a perfect atmosphere, Silent Hill f is a great comeback, managing to overcome even its weakest points to deliver a consistently tense experience.

Ghost of Yōtei is an unforgettable open-world action-adventure game that captivates players with its visuals, universe, narrative, straightforward combat system, and captivating protagonist.

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.

Nioh 3 has one of the best combat systems and endless mechanics and customization options that can overwhelm even the most avid fan. The combination of ninja mode and samurai mode is a unique evolution for the franchise.

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.

With its charming, cartoonish style, Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel's title offers us one of the most profound, complex, and ambitious RPG/Roguelike games of this year that has just begun.
