    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.

    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.

    Episode Aigis offers more than what Persona 3 Reload gave us. The social balance isn't present in this expansion, but the closure and narrative crumbs are appreciated in its 30 hours of gameplay.

    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.

    The Plucky Squire is a game that shines with its impeccable art direction, gracefully blending different styles that celebrate the world of video games with each new mechanic. While it has some issues with pacing and a length that can make it feel repetitive, it continues to impress with its creativity on every page of the book.

    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.

    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.

    Outlaws is an experience that, based on stealth and the most western adventure of Star Wars, offers a version of this franchise that we have not yet tasted in video games. It's not perfect and has several issues that are already common in this type of Ubisoft game, but it has heart and knows what to offer fans of the saga.

    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.

    PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 is very limited in its offering and its gameplay reminds of classics like Virtua Tennis, without much more to offer, making it a game that is very hard to recommend even for pickleball fans.

    SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos es a relaunch that barely qualifies as modern. Although the game itself is entertaining, its wish to stick to the arcade original ends up harming what it has to offer.

    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.

    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 First Descendant offers a good looking, solid and fast experience. The characters are charming and well designed, the bosses are spectacular battles and the progression is robust. The microtransaccions are expensive but optional, and while the missions are repetitive, they are a good base for future updates.

    Alice's Adventures Special Pack is a DLC that offers more of the same, but with much bigger, colorful and charming levels. It's an idea pack of content for those who don't want to leave a speck of dust.

    Another success in terms of historic preservation, and it's worth nothing that it's still a great game, but there's not much there to talk about Luigi's Mansion 2 again.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Noreya: The Gold Project is a recommended title for anyone who enjoys the genre. Even though it doesn't revolutionize, it offers a very good experience thanks to its puzzles, platforming, and artistic style.

    Shadow of the Erdtree is a great DLC that works really well as an epilogue to our story in Elden Ring. The RPG elements get lost since it's thought of as an endgame expansion but it still has everything that makes a great Fromsoftware experience. You will surely enjoy your time with this DLC.

    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.

    New Star GP is a casual, arcade game that aims for a particular aesthetic and gameplay that is in short supply these days. I'm glad it exists, and I'm touched by the strong love of motorsport it has present. I think it's a fun videogame to play, even with friends, but I think -empirically- it's an idea that is directly intended for those who enjoy the sport.

    Launching video games as a service and making them a success is no easy task, and as fun as the exponent is, I find it hard to imagine PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs having a promising future. Its lack of elemental variety and the sheer number of bots in the games are an issue that needs to be addressed quickly if they are to turn things around.

    Hellblade II: Senua's Saga" far surpasses its predecessor, offering a technically impressive experience with touches of action and puzzle-solving, where all its elements come together around an emotional work that neither lacks nor exceeds a single second.

    At the end of the day, Sker Ritual offers solid gameplay, with a nice arsenal, enemies with unique powers that add to the difficulty, and a well-balanced mix of waves and objectives. Visually, it has very detailed work. The problem is that what makes it great at the beginning ends up condemning it when thinking about the game in the long term.

    If what you're looking for is to play tennis, TopSpin 2K25 is the best way to do it in 2024. If you want something more or to play casually, the presence of microtransactions and the limited variety of professional players (which is not the case for the stadiums!) do not justify the price to pay.

    I genuinely believe that V Rising has a complete product for almost any type of player. The only reason you shouldn't give it a chance is if you absolutely don't like survival games. The only thing I would like it to have a bit more of is variety in the boss movements (especially in the first half of the game) and more variety in the music, but at least one of those complaints is addressed by the Brutal mode in this version 1.0.

    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]

    It's an experience that delivers just enough, plays on automatic and doesn't quite do a fine job of making itself a memorable video game. It's not a bad start by any means for a new sub-franchise, but it would be ideal if Nintendo decided to bet heavily on the character regardless of how well this game sells and that we already have a sequel in development. Time will tell how committed the Big N is to this cause.
