Diablo IV is a social phenomenon and once again sets a new standard for the genre. It's a dark, spooky, action-packed experience. Combat is frantic, fluid and fun, while micro-management of resources and inventory feels better than ever before.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a must if you are interested in adventure or mystery games and detective stories, with great characters, a narrative rhythm that doesn't stop, and several plot twists.

Final Fantasy XVI is the perfect combination of narrative, visuals, pacing, tension and combat and tells the most adult story in the series. The game is, without a doubt, one of the year's best, as well as one of the best Final Fantasy titles to date.

What does perfection really mean in a video game? Only a masterpiece can generate that series of questions and a debate around it. That ambitious experience that, in its search, goes for everything and beyond. For me, without a doubt, that represents a 10.

Advance Wars 1+2: ReBoot Camp is a great game for newcomers to the turn-based strategy genre. Bringing this IP back means revaluating a hidden gem, but the additions aren't enough to make this new version a definitive edition of such classic games.

Redfall's biggest problem is that it has no clear identity, with an empty open world and a lot of design and technical problems that seem to be very difficult to solve with updates.

Wildfrost has a visual simplicity that hides a depth of gameplay that deserves to be explored. All of its mechanics are carefully thought out to give us an engaging and refreshing experience.

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.

PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is a striking mix between visual novel and graphic adventure with small touches of horror and totally new mechanics for the genre.

There is no doubt that the most original stories and proposals in the video game industry are found in indie games now, and Dredge comes to continue confirming this theory with a unique game that mixes the peace of fishing with the tension of a lovecraftian story.

Curse of the Sea Rats is a fun metroidvania designed for adults and children alike. It is colorful, sounds and plays very well, and offers a varied proposal. However, the bugs and the general lack of polish end up tarnishing the experience.

Mojang's new proposal brings tons of innovation, not only for Minecraft but also for the genre, but it doesn't go deep in practically any aspect.

In Beyond Contact, players need to be resilient in order to get into and become familiar with the game. It's not ideal: an adventure game should be engaging from the start. But if you are a fan of this genre, the range of possibilities it offers is worth the patience.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor expands everything forged by the 2019 game and brings us a spectacular experience based on improvements and new mechanics, with a galactic ambition.

Dead Island 2 is the first game on steroids, with all the good and bad that implies. It's a sequel with no risks, which means that those who never fell in love with this kind of game probably won't fall in love with this one either. It doesn't change the formula. But it doesn't need to, either. In terms of zombie survival with RPG elements, multiplayer and non-stop action, there's no better game than this one.

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.

Scars Above is a good, fairly classic action-adventure game with fun gameplay and an interesting story. It takes design ideas from Returnal and, with that, offers its own unique approach. a short game that marks a good debut for this indie studio.

For every success, Wild Hearts makes several mistakes. There's a great concept behind all this, but the design problems, the poor balance and the technical errors make this title fall far short of what it was meant to be.

In Wanted: Dead, gameplay is frustrating, levels are the same and generic, there is no variety of enemies, combat possibilities are very limited and the music and atmosphere are forgettable.

Bayonetta Origins is great in terms of ideas, but it gets lost during the execution. A sequel may improve all the aspects that didn't quite work in this first game.

Octopath Traveler 2 is an incredible RPG. This is the type of game that needs to be recommended not only to fans of the genre, but also to those who are not JRPG lovers and want to experience something unique.

Once again, Capcom leaves us speechless. We are only in the middle of March and this Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games of the year, along with the Dead Space remake. We are facing an immense proposal, with an amazing cost and production design, which is reflected in every aspect of the game. The direction is incredible, the design is incredible.

Dead Space Remake is a game that we needed. EA and Motive, in the same way as Capcom with their Resident Evil remakes, have marked a path. And that path will place this title on the podium of the best of 2023, without a doubt.

Forskpoken isn't a bad game, but it isn't outstanding either. If you get interested in its universe, whether for its story or combat, it won't leave you indifferent. However, the game doesn't dazzle, and it might not meet the expectations of all players.

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]

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.

The latest title from the popular hedgehog tries to mark a new trend for the franchise, but none of its highlights end up coming together.

All in all, God of War Ragnarok is a complete product and a true continuation of a game that was already almost perfect. Sony Santa Monica kept the aspects that put the original at the top and solved some of its problems, such as the level structure, the little variety of enemies and the lack of balance in the combat system. This is God of War at its highest level.
