A classic Dungeon Crawler with the two best rosters in Persona Franchise. Challenging dungeons, great dialogues and deep combat system.

Basically, the best and more polished entry in the franchise and the perfect closure of the saga.

Resident Evil 5 is a great game without any doubt. With a new storyline, it offers fans of the series the epic end of the Umbrella arc that they were hoping for. Great visuals and many extras, but the use of RE4's control scheme feels old, and doesn't work too well to this new 100% action style the game embraced instead Survival Horror. You would expect something better from Capcom nowadays.

A retro travel in all its glory with a outstanding quality, even when compared to the best of the series. Megaman 9 is a mandatory buy for the fans of the blue bomber, and a highly recommended title for those with a taste for classic gaming. Definitely, a proof that no matter how much time has passed, or the technical limitations of the old machines, a great game comes by the talent of its creators.

Angry Birds Space gives a fresh take to the franchise with excellent physics and lots of funny puzzle gameplay.

Quotation forthcoming.

If you liked Human Revolution, you will no doubt enjoy Mankind Divided. The studio took a well-built base and made a very solid game around it with more or less the same virtues. However, we expect the studio to take more risks in future entries.

If you like Call of Duty, Black Ops II is your new game. It doesn't innovate, it invents nothing, and it plays to war as always. Multiplayer mode is amazing again and zombies cause more problems this time around. The AI​​, graphics and minimal improvement spoil an indispensable title for you, if you're a fan.

2K's still doing its job properly, just as it has to be done. The latest edition of the basketball sim has improved in every aspect of the gameplay mechanics, but's still suffering some lame player animations. With plenty of gameplay modes -including online, my player, real NBA stats...-, this year's version is one of the best sports videogames that we've played so far.

The work of 11 bit Studios is a marvelous cross between the aesthetic of Deadlight and the idea behind Zafehouse Diaries... With no zombies involved. A game about survival at its hardest, deepest, most depressing and most realistic shape. Its setting has that bit of post-apocalyptic game, but actually moves us to a reality that many people lives at many places right now. This War of Mine is the to war games like protest songs to pop-rock ones. A bold, brave and exciting offering that deserves to be played.

Persona 4: Arena is one of the best fighting games in this generation. Great, original and depth combat mechanics, good offline modes and solid netcode for another hit by Atlus and Arc System Works. And gorgeous visuals.

An awesome shoot'em up created by an amazing team. It isn't perfect, but provides challenges for also new players and high-level gamers.

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.

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.

Treasure gives us exactly that, a treasure. It’s an improved version of the classic Bangai-O, originally released for the N64 and later ported to Sega Dreamcast. More than 200 levels are waiting for a solution, and believe us: this is not especially easy. Take weapons and become the new Bangai-O rider to complete one of the funniest DS games. Indeed, Spirits includes a great level editor.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a great 3D Fighting Game. Namco's game presents a really dream match with over 50 characters, a new tag system combo and great variety of game modes with some new additions in this Wii U version.

An English Haunting is a superb point and click adventure game about the paranormal, with a captivating plot and very satisfying puzzles. A modern essential of the genre, that invites us to demonstrate that the truth is out there.

Ver. 1.22474487139 accentuates NieR's virtues and adds new ones, making it not only the definitive edition of a cult classic, but also a great game on its own.

It's difficult to get back the magic of the early days, but Square Enix tried its best in order to develop a storyline that's worth living. With an outstanding graphics engine, an impressive story and a quite interesting gameplay style, the only element that Final Fantasy XIII's lacking is a better mechanics and not the just go-on-forward gameplay style that it offers. Still, it's a worth-buying JRPG if you're a fan of the genre. And if you're not, just give it a try.

Q Entertainment does it again. They made one of the most distinctive early PSP games, and now they do the same with Vita, managing to create a new and stylish experience that will delight fans of electronic music.

Splatoon 2 is arguably the best entry in a multiplayer game from Nintendo. The game does everything better than the original Splatoon, although at first glance it could seem the same. Salmon Run and Hero Mode are just honey in the overall; it is excellent in its conception.

The Crown of Ivory King is the most challenging DLC of Dark Souls 2, with non linear adventure and some good new stuff like allies system. However, the enemies are too familiar for Dark Souls experts.

Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon is a good puzzle game, above all. With a simple gameplay based on chaining elements of the scenario, each movement makes the board react accordingly, balancing the action with the turns in a sublime way. It surprises for how easy it is to understand its mechanics, how accessible and how addictive its formula is; but it doesn't justify its roguelite elements because of the little importance of each run's findings. A very good gateway to the genre for those who enjoy this kind of proposals, with a moderate challenge that requires a few hours to get out of this pocket dungeon. Once again, Shovel Knight shows that it has potential in genres other than classic platforming. More than recommended.

Stunning in its audiovisual presentation and satisfying in its gameplay, MIO: Memories in Orbit is the first great metroidvania of 2026.

Good graphics, new and improved battle system, engaging plot... SEGA has made, once again, a superb title that moves away from some of the conventions of the franchise (such as the experience gathering and progression system, the possibility to save anywhere...) but keeps the essence of what makes Yakuza, Yakuza.

The Astral World is one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 Editions released to date. It comes with a 4 hours expansion featuring some truly eye-catching levels and a boost in smoothness and resolution that we now can't live without. It's still one of the character's best titles and a must-play platformer.

UFC 2009 Undisputed offers a great game dynamics, with great visuals, an amazing combat system, and many game modes. A great game, but it's too hard to master and, due to the competition itself, it's a game just for hardcore fans.

Little Nightmares 2 continues the adventure of this nightmare in a unique way, managing to exceed your expectations by introducing different novelties, although it was expected with a longer duration.

It's nothing sort of a miracle that Square Enix has managed to transform the original Final Fantasy XIV in this beautiful, packed full of content and enjoyable MMO. Sometimes it´s a bit too classic and safe in its design, but the result is excellent. Naoki Yoshida and his team have reasons to be proud.

As always, Duel of the Planewalkers is a perfect entry point for people interested in Magic but are intimidated by the real thing or the ultra competitive Magic The Gathering Online. And, as always too, it lets us wanting for more. Duels series won't be able to stay as the "the entry point" forever.

Quotation forthcoming.

To put it simply, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the best way to play this masterpiece originally launched in 2006. It adapts an all-time classic for modern systems, and does it very well.

This new chapter brings us back to the best moments of the second season, with its great development of the story and great puzzles. A five-hours-long perfect mix that won't disappoint Sam and Max die-hard fans.

Madden 17 is a great Football game with deep and solid mechanics. It maintains a good balance between offense and defense systems, dozens of tactic options and powerful graphics.

Connected Career, new Infinity Engine for new physics and Madden classic gameplay make Madden NFL 13 best than his predecessors.

NHL 13 delivers fast-paced hockey and an addictive gameplay that takes it back to the top of the sports genre. The new game modes aren't the most important features of 13's edition, but the so-called true skating skill system. With a new way of skating and a more realist approach, EA Canada serves up another must-buy for this year.

With great visuals and intense heart-pounding gameplay, completed with a replayable Campaign mode and a solid Multiplayer offering that fans of the saga (and gamers who look for a great FPS experience) will love, Resistance 3 turns into the best game in the series so far, making it an epic conclusion to Insomniac's and PlayStation 3's exclusive trilogy.

A brilliant update to the original game. The additions improve the core values of Orcs Must Die! and makes it a bigger and better game. It has its flaws, like a poor design of some maps, but the co-op, the improved character developement and the Endless mode are fantastic improvements.

An exceptional game in each and every one of its sections, a near-masterpiece.

HAL Laboratory's Bye-Bye BoxBoy! it's a brilliantly designed and delightful puzzle game. New mechanics and ideas come and go constantly. A jewel in the Nintendo 3DS's eShop.

A worthy follower of Quest legacy with some interesting advances in narratives choices, but not as excellent as the games from Matsuno.

A new pack with three indispensable adventures, including online modes. The games are less mature and deep, but always fun. An opportunity to know how Ratchet and Clank started.

Fullblox is another brilliant puzzle game for Nintendo 3DS. Deeper mechanics, full of stages and great challenges. Only for the Expo NES levels this game it's a must have.

Surprising, fun, original, creative... There're many ways to describe what The Odd Gentlemens have done with P.B. Winterbottom. Following the typical gameplay mechanics of 2D adventures, this's an XBLA exclusive that reminds the greatness of Braid and the singularity of the classical cinema. A must-have that has to be on every gamer's shelf.

Revengeance is a great hack and slash: Frantic, fun and fast running at 60 fps. It's a good mix of Metal Gear's universe and Platinum Style, but Raiden fails with stealth situations.

Trine is a very special game. It reminds us of classic games like Another World, Flashback or Prince of Persia, but with a new gameplay based in co-op and great visuals. But it's too short and it has just one co-op game mode for 3 players in LAN, which is no good. If not for that, this would be one of the greatest downloadable games yet.

Darksiders is a great game, fun and entertaining. A lengthy action-adventure game, with some good ideas taken from other titles. Overall is great, but it lacks its own gameplay and ideas.

Starfield is far from meeting the expectations it has generated over the years.

It might seem that Alan Wake is essentially the same game that was released on Xbox 360 two years ago. Nothing could be further from the truth. Remedy has worked hard to adapt the psychological thriller to a platform that should never have waited so long. Better graphics, 3D support, and additional content including DLC. The only excuse for not buying Alan Wake for PC is that you already got bored of it on console. Even if so... you should give it a try.

Transistor is another great indie game with awesome visuals, unforgettable OST and great gameplay mechanics.

Cat Quest III stands true to its purrsonality. It's a fun, cute, happy game very much needed in the current indie scene.

An original adventure than combines RPG, action an Management in the right way that, although it retains some shortcomings, is perfectly suited to Nintendo Switch.

With Infamous 2, Sucker Punch has gone a step beyond what they created with the first game. The game is even more dynamic and has incredible powers giving you the possibility of trying different tactics to kill your enemies. The idea of freedom is well-established in the game and not just for the gameplay. This is something required to create a great sandbox, but of course the game delivers also a great story. Users demanded an improved Karma system, as they were not satisfied with the fact that choosing one side, bad or good, didn't have any impact on the story; now you can play the whole game twice and find that some missions or even the end of the game might be different. Another great addition to this second instalment is the user-created content - we are glad to see how the main game can be expanded. Definitely a must have for your PS3.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a great 3D Fighting Game. Namco's game presents a really dream match with over 50 characters, new tag system combo and great variety of game modes.

Yakuza 5 is the best entry to the franchise so far. It offers more of the same, so it’ll please fans of the saga with its improvements in every aspect, but won’t win new fans among those who have tried previous titles and didn't like them. The amount of content packed in the game is impressive, and the detail put in the cities recreations is astonishing.

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. A shame, since if it is a PS5 and Xbox Series exclusive development it lacks of a great visual improvement, but still... the best proposal for the virtual sports fan.

Jusant is a beautiful adventure videogame, in which climbing is the only way to reach the top and complete a story of relaxing sounds and dynamic gameplay, in which coordination will be your greatest ally.

A touching graphic adventure in which, thanks to our hungry curiosity, we must discover the mystery surrounding Sam, whose phone we have found.

Again, Skylanders is interesting for kids, a big and great beat'em up adventure this time full of minigames and challenges. The 16 SWAP Force figures let to switch the bodies and form new characters. This is a wonderful idea for the varied gameplay.

Life is Strange: True Colors lives up to the bar of the saga and deals with the subject of emotions in a responsible and realistic way. It's BSO is wonderful and despite having some bugs, the overall result is neat and we will enjoy it.

Sports Interactive created the greatest football manager yet. Huge, with an incredible number of leagues from all around the world, complex but also really intuitive, and with the added feature of 3D matches where we can watch our team in real time. Just a couple of technical issues keep the game away from being nearly perfect.

It's a good survival RPG game because it has a lot of identity. Vampire mechanics are so fun and builder mode too, but you lose a lot of time farming and taking things from chests when you are building your castle or using crafting tables.

Following the work of Infinity Ward with "Modern Warfare", Treyarch has made a good work following those steps as close as possible, while adding elements of their own. The grim scenario of the Russian campaign is a clear highlight and a triumph for the studio, and the same could be said of the four player cooperative mode. However, we miss more evolution on the graphics engine, and some elements added to the multiplayer experience don't convince us.

FIFA completes a voyage to the very top, offering its best version with a superb gameplay and tons of quality modes to enjoy it.

Mortal Kombat X has solid mechanics and is a good evolution in NeterRealm System. Rich in content and good visuals, it's the first serious challenger among Next Generation fighting games.

Layton comes back for another year, as always, but he doesn't fail. 170 new puzzles, dozens of extras, mystery, crazy characters and mind challenges. It's the same game, but bigger. Although, regrettably, in Europe version isn't London Life mode.

2k makes the difference once again on the Next-Gen NBA games, all their promises have been delivered and basketball fans receive the game that they deserve.

With its breathtaking environments, fantastic soundtrack, rich battle system and solid cast of characters, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a worthy successor to one of the best RPGs of the last decade.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp rises the figure of a franchise that should occupy a prominent place in the Nintendo catalog. This package is a must have for Nintendo Switch fans.

Freedom Planet is like a missing jewel from the Sega Saturn catalog, an amazing action game that can be described a (good) Sonic 2D game developed by the Treasure. Don't miss it-- along with Shovel Knight, it's the retro-indie game of the year.

Dark Souls: Remastered for the Nintendo Switch runs very well performance-wise, but its audio issues are too blatant. It's what keeps an otherwise pretty decent port from reaching absolute excellence.

FIFA World Cup 2010 offers a better gameplay and a faster game than FIFA10. There are some improvements to be found in the gameplay itself, and its visuals and sound are great. Also, the game modes specially crafted for this competition are good. Despite having just a few teams and some issues with aerial play, this is the most realistic FIFA ever made.

Unique, different and original. Three elements that make Gravity Rush one of the best titles in the PS Vita library. Long, visually stunning and very, very fun to play, probably most gamers will spend hours just floating and rushing through the air feelin' free, instead of following the story of the game, just like playing GTA or a sandbox Spider-Man. A unique feeling that undoubtely deserves our attention.

A Pokémon game with the best of the past and the best of the present is a win-win. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire keep and improves the features introduced in the original game, such as the contests, the berries or the secret bases. On the other hand, it also includes new features like the megaevolutions or the multiplayer mode seen in more recent instances of the series. The 3D graphics and more cinematic feel definitely invite us to play it once again.

Winter is coming, literally, and going back home with Aloy at Horizon Zero Dawn is the best way to celebrate it. Get ready to get cold but above all have fun in this first and only DLC accompanying our redhead warrior in his great adventure through the frozen lands Banuk.

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise is an interesting rhythm title for the Wii and a true sequel to the Nintendo DS game. Using only two buttom you will enjoy with its japanese stylish minigames. Fun even when you are not playing the game.

Despite some minor balance problems and a certain repetitiveness in the second half, FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a work easy to recommend for JRPG lovers. Those who love games in the style of the first Final Fantasy will find this title an ideal experience.

The basics are the same from Ninja Gaiden II, and that's the best of Sigma 2. New features do not work so well: online coop is not that great, new missions are just OK, and new bosses are boring. But overall, it's still a great game, with new and improved visuals that make it even better than before.

Wei Shen is like Niko Bellic, he moves in a similar game. But this title expands and becomes more serious and mature than Rockstar's game. If you like sandbox ga,es, go ahead and get ready to fight with martial arts and perfect shots, also enjoy driving in Hong Kong.

It's more than just a musical game. It's pure rhythm. Nintendo has done it again with an completely original game, and outstanding one that will hit the streets in no time. As soon as it does, it will surely become another instant hit on the market. You just can't stop playing with all the different rhythms of this bizarre but lovely game. A must-have with no doubt.

A extremely beautiful game that deserves to be calmly enjoyed and savored. It won't convince anyone who puts gameplay or narrative over anything else, but a satisfying journey for those who enjoy this kind of interactive experience.

When everything works, it can be a really fun experience. But the character lost bug is inexcusable in a permanent online experience and the stability problems show this was not ready for prime time.

The unique combination of narrative and gameplay with internet browsing makes Hypnospace Outlaw a very interesting experience, and the impressively detailed (although slightly exaggerated) reproduction of the end 90's internet makes it a recommendable (albeit short and not too replayable) investigation title.

RGG Studio did a good job porting Yakuza Kiwami 2 to Nintendo Switch 2, the first entry using the current Dragon Engine that arrived on the console.

Pokémon Legends Arceus is a must for fans of the franchise, a success in its reinterpretation of the gameplay formula, which introduces action in the capture and mobility without giving up the turns in combat. The loop is addictive and fun: it works wonders. Game Freak has nailed in practically everything mechanically, with huge, well-designed, hostile, vertical, open environments full of secrets to be solved. We have a long journey ahead of us. Its technical section, however, subtracts in the result despite its artistic preciosity. Fortunately, the series has found the way, one that can coexist with the classic and that should be fed back from now on. This title is a celebration after an era of ups and downs. Pokémon is more alive than ever: this work marks a new and exciting beginning on which to build, polish and improve. We are to be congratulated. Turning point.

Kirby: Mass Attack has very good and innovative ideas. With a full touch control and a lot of levels, the gameplay is very satisfying although many parts fail because they are slow. Colour, fun and extra mini-games in the last great work of the pink character for Nintendo DS.

Alan Wake is finally here, and it's as good as we expected. Rich environments, great story, superb gameplay, many areas to explore, interesting characters... A great game that is not the ambitious project Remedy wanted it to be, but it's glorious anyway.

Dragon Quest Wars is yet another great game ser on purpose for the DSiWare service. It's basically an strategic RPG based on the popular figures of the franchise, with cute graphics and a very interesting gameplay style. A very interesting offer if you like the genre.

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition retains the essence of the game by raising its technical level, but it has some obvious differences controlling the character or handling a vehicle. However, the game is much more immersive on its version for PC and this greatly benefits a title with a remarkable story. L.A. Noire is a must for any player... if he did not play it on Xbox630 or PS3.

Mortal Kombat 1 is a true love letter to the 3D era of the saga. This is the Mortal Kombat 9 of this generation, and it must be valued as such. Although it is not sold as a celebration of legacy, it works very well as such and as a standalone saga title. It is a fairly complete video game whose main defects are not the game itself, but commercial decisions such as removing some fighters that are already included in the game to sell them separately. However, given the amount of content available and its quality, the fact that it will be updated over time and its overwhelming graphics make these outrages not hurt as much.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is the best version of this classic JRPG by Square Enix. It looks truly amazing and has a better pace than the 3DS remake, included its new changes within the adventure.

Back to Karkand has four maps of Battlefield 2 running with Frostbite 2, three vehicles, ten new weapons and another matchmaking mode. Enough for the frequent Battlefield 3 players, but too expensive: 15 euros for all this content.

The Plucky Squire is possibly the most beautiful game of the year. It is also an interactive children's book. Its fantasy story with knights, wizards and sorcerers, and its low difficulty, makes it perfect to enjoy in the company of children. While everyone can copy Mario and Zelda, few can copy the magic. That's why The Plucky Squire shines, because while we play we smile, it makes us happy. And there is nothing that can compare with that.

Neva is gorgeous work of art transferred to videogame format, a simple but emotionally effective action-platforming adventure starring the swordswoman Alba alongside the she-wolf Neva. An ode to motherhood that leaves us with some of the best moments of the year in digital art.

Dark Hero Days offers exactly what we could expect form a production with Nippon Ichi's seal - plenty of fun, unlimited hours in front of the PSP and an outstanding storyline that makes us laugh and smile from time to time. With a few new additions, Disgaea 2's back at its best.

Dust: An Elysian Tail is a great surprise for XBLA. Good plattforms, RPG elements and full of content -treasures, sidequests. This Humble Hearts game has great gameplay and pretty visuals, but a too simple and boring combat system.

Splasher truly shines when it comes to its core gameplay as well as the surprising variety of situations that you will encounter. While not the most ambitious game this year on the technical front, it delivers where it matters for a platformer. Splatoon and Super Meat Boy were good friends after all.

Grounded offers a good survival for all audiences, but without forgetting those who are looking for something more.
