Saros continues the brutal gameplay formula of Returnal witch success, but falls short in some aspects where its predecessor excelled.

Milestone has revived its most iconic franchise, and the immense care and attention put into the project is evident, but the feeling is that it doesn’t quite measure up to the genre’s true classics. Screamer demands far more in terms of gameplay mechanics than it initially appears, so you’ll need to invest some time to fully appreciate everything it has to offer in its races.

Milestone is unrivaled when it comes to bringing the world of two wheels to video games, and although there's still a way to go to reach excellence and there's hardly any competition, Ride 6 will be a go-to game for many months to come.

Escape from Tarkov is considered the pioneer of the extraction shooter genre. One of the longest-running games in the Early Access program, it released its final version in November 2025, along with the highly anticipated 1.0 version, marking the end of several years of genuine success. It has its rough edges and a few bugs that shouldn't be there, but the overall experience is unparalleled. It's the most hardcore game in the genre. It demonstrates that there's a large player base willing to face the toughest gameplay conditions. The reward tastes sweeter than in other games, no matter how many times you fall. No one knows what the future holds, but Escape from Tarkov certainly has another decade of enjoyment ahead.

Code Vein 2 follows Elden Ring's open-world structure in an overly ambitious sequel. It's a good action game thanks to the combat, but overall the free roam is not as interesting as the classic levels from the first ones.

Trails Beyond the Horizon lives up to expectations thanks to a combination of the interesting plot with a versatile gameplay and extensive content.

A fun and very well made brawler, made with lots of love for Marvel's Superheroes and their history on licensed videogames. A bit on the safe side, perhaps, but very enjoyable.

Football Manager 26 is a new beginning for the series, and although there is still work to be done, the first step is on the right track.

A joy for fans of the movies, management games and dinosaurs in general.

Persona 3 Reload on Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t on par with the capabilities of the hardware.

Keeper is an audiovisual spectacle, a surreal and creative artistic explosion inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí to offer a memorable and unforgettable journey. Its development as a light third-person exploration and puzzle adventure takes no risks in terms of gameplay. Its gameplay is simple and shallow despite having good ideas, but it makes up for it with a festival of surprises that will captivate the player. One of the great surprises of the year, a must-play.

Pokémon Legends Z-A is one of the most intelligent entries in Game Freak's recent games. The studio knew how to build key new mechanics such as the real time combat with the enough focus in the little details. There's things that still have potential to improve, but overall our stay in Lumiose City was great.

Battlefield 6 overall is a good comeback. The multiplayer side reminds us of the good old days, besides its missing a few elements from the big ones, like levolution. Beyond that, the campaign feels a barebones experience.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a good JRPG that every player needs to discover, thanks to a very enjoyable combat system.

Whether you were witness to all the work done on Hades 2 during early access or not, there's no denying how much effort developer Supergiant Games has put into this masterful sequel. Hades 2 is one of the best roguelite experiences ever, with clever improvements to its established formula that accentuate its strongest attributes. More importantly, it achieves this without requiring you to be the most well-versed player on what came before, but not at the expense of offering a new challenge to those that have spent hours digging away at the first game's most brutal endeavors. It's deeper and more complex than the original in every way, from its greatly expanded combat system to its larger, more complex web of character interactions that powers its more ambitious narrative.

If it had half the action, it would be twice as good (and avoid a dreadful final stretch). Even so, Silent Hill f is one of the best entries in the series — and a new survival horror classic.

The Astral World is one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 Editions released to date.

It's still one of the character's best titles and a must-play platformer.

Shinobi Art of Vengeance is the next big thing for modernized 2D games. Combat, platforming and visual style are top notch, but the game also manages to capture what made the Shinobi games of yesteryear remembered until today.

Although not as daring as Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid Delta is just as good. Another remake worthy of its legacy, only let down by the AI and some animations.

Dune Awakening is a superb adaptation of the franchise created by Frank Herbert, in the form of an amusing blend of MMO and resource-gathering survival. Its possibilities are almost endless, and while the combat isn't entirely satisfying and the endgame needs some fine-tuning, this is one of the best recreations of the Dune universe in video game form that will captivate and entertain us for over 100 hours.

Donkey Kong Bananza is very close to the greatest Mario 3D adventures. DK deserved this comeback.

Narratively fantastic, it is clear that there are veterans from large studios involved because beyond a notable technical section, gameplay-wise it is capable of hiding many mechanics that we discover little by little, and that are sufficiently exploited.

Mario Kart World is the evolution that the saga was asking for after a Mario Kart 8 that refined the classic formula to the extreme.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a game focused to the most hardcore fans of From Software. It has a great combination of new final bosses but lacks a solid progression system that keeps you playing after beating them all.

Doom: The Dark Ages is the most brutal entry in the modern Slayer trilogy. It has the best and most engaging combat in the series.

Mandragora works as both a soulslike and a metroidvania. A very challenging game ideal for both communities.

San Diego Studios brings with MLB The Show 25 what is nothing less than the best sports game of the moment, at all levels: gameplay and content.

It's not a revolution, but Assassin's Creed Shadows delivers a great Assassin's Creed RPG experience in feudal Japan.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition is the best way to discover (or enjoy again) one of the classics trapped for years in Wii U.

An installment that improves on its predecessor in practically every way: the new types of combat and the return of chain wrestling increase the possibilities in the ring, while outside of it we will enjoy the hours we want thanks to the expansion and expected changes in the already known modes, including a great Showcase.

Atelier Yumia is a step forward for the franchise, but still needs to improve its open world and the gameplay opportunities within it.

Two Point Museum is a fun management game, full of options and depth, yet very accessible and player-friendly.

Museum confirms the Two Point saga as one of the most important in the management genre in modern times.

Monster Hunter Wilds has good foundations, but lacks proper endgame content and challenge.

Slender Threads is a superb graphic adventure, with an original and very attractive visual presentation, and which offers an intriguing plot that mixes humor with terror that captivates the player. It is somewhat short, but it is a candidate for the best graphic adventure of the year.

One of the most beautiful, most polished games in the story of Obsidian. Also, one with the weakest characters, dialogues and design for a studio that uses to excel on that. An entertaining ARPG (with focus on the 'A'), that hopefully won't get in the way of a proper Pillars of Eternity sequel in the future.

Alien: Rogue Incursion arrives as one of the best virtual reality experiences in a year, this past 2024, full of great VR titles. The setting is everything in the new Survios game - creators of other VR games such as Creed: Rise to Glory or The Walking Dead: Onslaught -, completely immersing us in what could be a new and terrifying story set in the canon universe of the 'Alien' saga, with a duration that can easily stretch to six or eight hours, depending on whether or not we thoroughly explore each level and its secrets. It offers an attractive mix of exploration, puzzles and unbridled action, all seasoned with a constant feeling of claustrophobia and extreme survival. In addition, visually it is quite a feat within the current virtual reality landscape despite the occasional setback in terms of animations or the position of the enemies in relation to their environment. The definitive 'Alien' experience reinforced by an increasingly established and effective virtual reality.

Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is a safe bet for both Ender Lilies fans and any player who loves the metroidvania genre. A continuous experience with respect to its predecessor, with a more narrative and somewhat more accessible approach, but equally polished in each and every one of its sections. As in the first part, the studio hits the mark by offering a very satisfying experience at the controls. Despite presenting a level design that is not too intricate, it is still a clear candidate for metroidvania of the year, at the expense of what Hornet has to say, if Silksong arrives in time for GOTY 2025, of course.

With a great attention for every detail in the world of Bohemia, Warhorse has been able to create one of the greatest RPG in the past years. With an absolutely astonishing world building and a great narrative, it's a complete essential for every RPG fan.

You never feel that you are being told a false story, but the sad chronicle of a possible future.

A truly compelling Indiana Jones adventure.
