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

Gameplay remains solid, with small additions that hardcore players will appreciate, but the lack of real innovation and the limited evolution of some modes are starting to weigh on what remains, despite everything, the best sports simulation game on the market.

Minos is an excellent blend of tower defense and puzzle game with roguelite soul, allowing us to design the deadliest labyrinths of classical Greece. It works better as a puzzle game than a roguelite, with uneven progression and a somewhat sloppy narrative, but it's incredibly satisfying when our most complex creations deliver the knockout blow.

A beautiful debut, with striking art direction and well-honed cinematic instincts. However, while its core is solid, it never reaches the same level of brilliance.

The Occultist has a great ambient and some interesting moments, but it doesn’t deliver fresh moments throughout the game.

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.

Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is a fantastic multiplayer expansion that aims to deliver a similar Mario Party experience within the 2D classic Mario franchise.

Sons of Sparta is a terrible God of War and a mid metroidvania. Offering something different and more modest doesn’t excuse doing things poorly. When Kratos said that the gods of Olympus had abandoned him, he was talking about this.

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.

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

An interesting puzzle and exploration adventure with touches of horror that unfolds into a stunning visual spectacle on screen.

It shows the power of Switch 2, it's canon, and overflows with love and emotion for the main saga. It doesn’t matter that it’s a musou and a spin-off. Tt’s essential for Zelda fans and serves as the perfect grand finale to Tears of the Kingdom.

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.

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.

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

The remaster of the remaster of a remake from ten years ago. This Reloaded version of the first Gears of War is a beefed-up Ultimate Edition whose biggest appeal is the thrill of being released on PlayStation 5. If only they had put this kind of effort into the rest of the trilogy... is in much greater need of it.

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.

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.

American Arcadia proves that Out of Blue excels at integrating great puzzles within a good narrative — they don't need that artificial difficulty at all.

Hideo Kojima keeps on working and improving the original Death Stranding formula. This sequel its better, but not as surprising as the first one.

Journey to the Savage Planet was a pleasant surprise because it offered us the chance to delve into a kind of Metroid Prime that was much more casual than Retro Studios' title. Now, Revenge of the Savage Planet leaves that path behind and opts for massive content, despite being very consistent in most of its gameplay. It's a fun game packed with things to do, but we missed the more adventurous development of the first installment in the series. It's still a very enjoyable action-exploration title, especially in the company of a friend.

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.

Not astonishing, but the solid remastered that one of the most underrated games in last times deserves. It lacks of new narrative content, but its new arcade mode can satisfy every fan.

Oblivion Remastered is a gift for fans, a new way to discover one of the biggest RPG in video game history.

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

Post Trauma offers so much in exchange for almost nothing. A classic survival horror that every Resident Evil and Silent hill fan will enjoy.

Tempest Rising is an excellent real-time strategy game, inheriting the best traditions of '90s RTSs.

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.

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