The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the best version to enjoy one of the most relevant games of recent years. Despite being a controversial remaster, there is no doubt that it features an incredible story and gameplay that everyone should try.

The Last of Us Part I is a great game. We can't deny all the technical work behind it because it is excellent, but at the same time, the gameplay experience is similar to the one of 2013. There are a lot of aspects that I wish were better and there are a lot of others that, having played part two, I can't get out of my head.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics is a great strategy game and, fortunately, players don’t need to know the story or the characters of the TV show in order to play it. The learning curve is very friendly, which means that any player can fully immerse themselves in this story of uprising and revolution. Netflix is now making headway into the game industry, after their mistake with Stranger Things the game.

Bugsnax is a game that wants to make us feel good, that seeks to be as enjoyable as possible while still entertaining us and making us think. With mystery, humor, heart, wit and creativity, the folks at Young Horses give us one of the most special titles of this final stretch of the year and an excellent addition to the PS Plus catalog for those who own a PS5.

Zenless Zone Zero is style and is substance, a game with hypnotic action not only because of its visual accomplishments, but also because of how addictive is its gameplay. If HoYoverse properly supports it in the future, then this will be the studio's third victory.

XCOM: Chimera Squad is an interesting experience that's not a revolution in the strategy genre, but it feels really fresh in the series. The new mechanics suit the game very well and the shortcomings reveal this is a budget title. It's a smaller game than XCOM installments, but it doesn't fall short of content. Firaxis Games knows this and offers it at a reduced price, posing it as an experimental spin-off, preparing us for what will come in XCOM 3.

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.

EA Sports FC 25 remains the king of football games, standing out with the implementation of AI for the first time, greater depth in tactical management, and the new Rush Mode.

The Ivalice Chronicles is a masterful remaster that modernizes one of the best Final Fantasy games. With tools that enhance the experience and a story enriched by moving voice performances.

Although it doesn't innovate the genre, Halls of Torment establishes its own identity, with a wide variety of characters, different settings, and great replayability as its strongest points.

South of Midnight shines in terms of its narrative and visual style, but it has a very repetitive structure and little depth in its gameplay elements.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 1 is captivating and exciting, with great chemistry between its protagonists. If the future conclusion of the story lives up to this first part, everything points to it being a spectacular story.

Two Point Museum is presented as a fun and accessible proposal, with an extremely familiar gameplay loop and some novelties up its sleeve that make Two Point Studios' work a devourer of free time.

With no more work than a slight update for the Nintendo Switch, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition keeps the style of the original work and truly delivers its best version.

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.

Dying Light The Beast doesn't reinvent the series, but it does revive it with blood, tension, and an unforgettable hero.

With few low points and a very well told story, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is another gem from Deconstructeam with the quality seal of Devolver Digital.

Starfield has one of the best new game pluses I've ever tried and the ambition of every edge of the title is continually felt as we play. I was living this experience for over fifty hours, but I could have played five hundred and I would still have so many things to enjoy. There will be a lot of debate about a lot of things about Starfield, but, without a doubt, it is a step forward in the innovation of how new technologies can give us an experience in videogames and it is a work that convincingly goes for much more, something that is increasingly valuable in this field.

Remnant 2 resorts to an already familiar format: it uses everything that the first instalment already had, but perfects it in its entirety.

With a distinct cinematic and fast pace approach, Gears Tactics puts its own spin in the genre. While it borrows many things from games like Xcom it is also able to mix the essence of what has made the Gears franchise so popular. The action feels intense, dynamic and the experience can be adapted to many difficulties. Gears Tactics has been a welcome surprise.

Obey Me is a very decent action brawler and its protagonists earn all our sympathy, even though the story is not that compelling and the combat system shows some limitations.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a very good video game, recommended for all those interested in the genre and who are eager to annihilate thousands of enemies with devastating moves. Both for new and old players of the franchise, the title is positioned as a more than outstanding proposal.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lives up to the series, with a brilliant campaign and content-packed multiplayer modes, yet the online experience is overshadowed by a handful of ugly menus, few initial operators, and bland cosmetic items.

Its poor optimization and its localization problems are a drawback, but it does not lose the excellence that the Danganronpa series already had in its way of posing mysteries, stories, plot twists. RAINCODE shines in all this, making it a more than recommendable instalment.

With a few, albeit minor, fluctuations in its frame rate, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a technical showcase that demonstrates the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Broken Lines isn’t the typical indie strategy game that presents itself as a simple clone of XCOM or another AAA title. It offers a bunch of mechanics that feels new, with compelling storytelling.

Mafia: The Old Country marks a return to its roots for a series that used to be lost, with an incredible setting, several new gameplay features, and a story that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Death Howl takes deck building and tactical combat and adds soulslike mechanics, offering a solid, coherent, and atmospheric experience that stays with us long after we've played our last card.
