    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.

    Insomniac has long since proven to be among the best developers in the industry with high-caliber titles such as Spider-Man and Miles Morales, but now it also manages to graduate Ratchet, Clank, Rivet and Kit to the pantheon of great characters and exclusive Sony sagas with a game that is synonymous with fun and a visual wonder.

    Infinite Wealth sets the bar for what other games with secondary content should aspire to. It delivers high-quality content that naturally encourages players to invest countless hours.

    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.

    Blade Chimera is Team Ladybug's first original metroidvania. This means that it is not based on any franchise, but its story and characters were made from scratch by the development team. And, as expected for those of us who have played their previous titles, the result is a resounding success. Not only is it a fun game, but each of its components work in harmony to create a polished and balanced experience.

    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.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake is undoubtedly among the best of 2020. The first part of this remake meets every expectation, beyond its technical problems, and we are already hyped of what is to come. I dare say that it is one of the best installments in the series so far and I hope that this will become a new quality standard for Square Enix.

    The remake of Demon's Souls is PS5's first great exclusive and it offers to a certain part of the public the possibility of enjoying a sensational experience that, probably, they had missed when it came out in 2009.

    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.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of the best adventures of the year, with one of the most beautiful and spectacular open worlds of the last decade, earning a place on the podium of the genre. The exploration is organic, the map is packed with activities to do, the skill tree is vast and truly useful, and the combat is some of the best I've seen in 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.

    Valve has once again tried to revolutionize the gaming industry with a Half-Life game. With Alyx they've tackled the complicated realm of VR creating an experience miles ahead of anything available in this format. It's way more than just a spin off or an experiment from Valve, it's a game that can stand toe to toe with all the other chapters of this iconic saga. In a certain way, Valve finally gave us a third Half-Life game and it was worth the wait.

    I wouldn't pigeonhole it into a single genre or define it in any particular way. I think it's more accurate to say that Donkey Kong Bananza has a life of its own and, as the second Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, it's an experience that everyone who buys the console should enjoy. The bar is set high for everything Nintendo releases from now on.

    F1 2020 is the highest point of the series. What Codemasters shows with this game is that they also understood that they have a game on their hands and that it isn't wrong to make it more fun; that the rules can be slightly bent in pursuit of a more inclusive and more content product, without neglecting its essence.

    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.

    Desperados III is the prequel that this great franchise deserves. It's a game that completely grabs the player, from start to end: the moment I started the main story, I couldn't let it go until I finished it. Every detail on the map, every dialogue between the characters, everything about the game is enjoyable, almost to the extent that you feel just as another member of the gang.

    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.

    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.

    Manor Lords is a title with potential, although we will have to wait patiently to see it. This, undoubtedly, can deter the more impatient from giving it a chance. The progression is slow, and we might have to start several games from scratch to get the hang of it. On the contrary, those who are accustomed to this type of game will find here a beautiful and mechanically impressive city builder. [Early Access Review]

    Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a sequel that stays true to its roots, but in the best way possible. It recaptures what made the original unique and enhances it with new vocations to choose from and dozens of skills to master. It's an adventure across two gigantic continents to explore, brimming with mysteries and treasures, and a strong presence of mythological beasts to defeat. [Review in Progress]

    The Callisto Protocol is a sublime horror experience in atmosphere and immersion, offering a worthy challenge when it comes to single-enemy combat or against a mini-boss. The problem appears when the hordes arrive: when fighting many enemies, the rough combat mechanics are very noticeable. And being such a combat-centric survival horror, these shortcomings keep it from being one of the best of the year. [Review in Progress]

    After a year in Early Access, Unrailed is a party game that challenges us to keep a little train rolling towards the next station, having to craft and place the rails on the go. The game offers the option to play single player, but it’s clear the game’s strong point relies on its multiplayer experience. [Early Access Score = 80]
