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.
