Robobeat offers an experience that, while not escaping the boundaries set by the roguelite genre, fully immerses us in its proposal thanks to rhythm-based gameplay, accompanied by a brutal soundtrack.

The ¿closing chapter? in the Cuphead series comes with a lot of delicacies to taste: a new island, impressive level bosses and secrets to discover. One of the most entertaining experiences of 2022.

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.

Bloober Team found the balance between innovation and respect for the original work. What made Silent Hill 2 an unforgettable title is still there. However, horror is a gimmicky genre, of emotions and impacts, and repetition is its greatest enemy. Because if the scares are repeated, they are no longer scary, but frustrating. Silent Hill 2 Remake has the same pacing flaws as The Evil Within or Silent Hill: Downpour: it's a satisfying game that sees us reach the credits with a good taste in our mouths, but when we recap, the overall experience deflates more than once.

The most important thing in this type of work is what it conveys. Neva achieves this correctly and clearly, despite occasionally feeling a bit photocopied. It has an identity of its own that at times is diluted in the format so attached to its predecessor. It's a solid experience about growing up and the changing dynamics of motherhood, where we can understand it both as children and as parents.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster makes Keiji Inafune's work shine on its own, updating key aspects of the gameplay experience and enhancing the technical side while strictly preserving the original essence.

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.

As a narrative adventure, Swansong delivers a good balance of exploration, character development, narrative decisions, puzzles and investigation. And as a board game adaptation, it is perhaps the most faithful game to Vampire: The Masquerade and a proof that video games can also adapt much more than the combat system of a pen and paper role-playing games.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge - Radical Reptiles is the latest jewel in the crown of the king of modern beat 'em ups. On its own, two extra characters may not seem like much, but this is a low-priced DLC that aims to perfect an already fantastic experience. Add to this the great remix mode, packed with top artists, and there's no doubt that Tribute Games and Dotemu's game has a privileged place as a referent in its genre.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is the best musou out there and the one that best knew how to take advantage of its mechanics to deliver a great Fire Emblem.

Outriders Worldslayer adds a campaign, new scenarios, equipment and another endgame and pushes the original game at its best, both in terms of narrative and gameplay.

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.

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is a good metroidvania with a healthy dose of interesting characters and dialogue. When it comes to combat and exploration it's fun, and while bosses can be a bit easy, it's never boring. Short and ideal to get started in the genre.

Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is what we expected of racing these type of cars: adrenaline given by the mechanics of the game and an exorbitant show. All this makes up a package that can be taken very seriously by scale model fans and enjoyed in the most arcade-like way possible by newcomers of the hobby.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is one of the best official arcade compilations. Not only does it boast a fantastic list of games, actually one better than the other, but it emulates them to perfection.

Conscript is a survival horror that celebrates the classics, paying respect to their mechanics and with a truly terrifying context. The combat system is a bit rough, but the rest of the game compensates and in a matter of hours it becomes an exciting experience.

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.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has some things that overshadow the experience, including the classic Ubisoft bugs and a visual performance that at times is controversial, but there is no doubt that it is a great, enjoyable and complete experience. A step in the right direction. The game is the result of great ideas that worked well in other recent games, and were very well captured in this new installment of Prince of Persia. I hope the numbers go with it, because I would love to see in the future how they can make a sequel with much more confidence than what this game represents.

This is the best game in the Harry Potter universe to date, but beyond that, it is a great title that offers a user-friendly experience for newcomers to open-world RPGs with a wide range of possibilities to guarantee hours of fun.

Even with its performance problems, Yakuza Remastered Collection is much more than a simple remaster, it is a great way to keep updated one of the best series that modern gaming has given us.

Watch Dogs: Legion is undoubtedly the best of the series, the one that is closest to bringing the experience promised by that trailer of the first game. Hacks are useful and the lack of a fixed character ends up making DedSec the true protagonist and, since we recruit, control and manage the operators, in the end we end up feeling part of the resistance.

Windbound is a survival game that takes inspiration in both Breath of the Wild and Wind Waker, two iconic games in the Zelda franchise. The work done by 5 Lives Studios results in a rather nice game experience—especially the sea sailing—that, sadly, feels constantly restricted by its own limitations.

The Flower Collectors, with a simple story, shows to what extent society can normalize human rights violations, homophobia, transphobia and demonization of artists to the point of kidnapping, torture and organized murder. These themes aren't much common in the gaming industry, and this game is much worth it because of the way it tackles them.

Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath succeeds in everything. The story is highly entertaining, the new characters are very interesting and even the free content adds much more to a game that already had many good elements. But nothing that can be said takes away the fact that Aftermath is expensive for those who already have the game. It is especially frustrating considering that there are more DLC characters in development, and that surely next year we will have a new collection that for $60 that includes everything again.

Supermassive Games' formula is crying out for renewal, but they always manage to engage fans, who enjoy these adventures like a good horror movie night. The Devil In Me has technical issues that we can't ignore, however, it is The Dark Pictures' highest point to date.

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.

A Total War Saga: Troy, the third game in the series, is the best in all aspects, not only in terms of graphics and technical execution, but also in gameplay and the challenges we encounter during the campaign.

Despite some controversial decisions in terms of monetization, EA Sports FC 26 is by far the best soccer game we could have hoped for.
