    Street Fighter 6 is a spectacular fighting game with a diverse combat system and filled with options. It has learned from its mistakes regarding launch content and confirms itself as the benchmark of the genre for the upcoming years.

    God of war is an example of a great reboot. Intense and violent as its predecessors, the new combat mechanics, point of view and nordic mythology are solid arguments to declare it one of the best PS4 exclusives. And amazing starting point for the future of the series.

    A sequel that does almost everything better than the original game. You could hardly ask for anything else.

    Dragon Quest XI is one of the best JRPG in this generation and probably the best game in its franchise.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a fantastic expansion, full of content and with a story that has become one of the best works of the studio.

    Probably the best vanilla Civilization from the Firaxis era, a game that feels complete, with tons of features that add depth.

    Dragon Quest VIII was one of the best JRPGs, now is available for Nintendo 3DS. More fresh and agile, with better exploration mechanics and tons of new and great content. Characters, bosses, Quest Photo Mode... It's the best version of the best Dragon Quest game.

    Funky mode aside, Tropical Freeze remains largely unchanged. Which means there aren't many reasons for Wii U owners to buy it. But it also means that Switch now has one of the best platformers ever made in its library.

    NBA 2k17 is more polished and solid than the last entries. They've made good gameplay changes, except in terms of steal mechanics. It's full of online and offline content, stunning visuals and it's deeper than you want.

    A good example to show there are not too-old formulas, just wrong approaches to reignite them. Taking the base of D&D Arcade and introducing plenty of RPG and Hack'n Slash elements, Vanillaware has made its finest game.

    Tropical Freeze is a great challenging plattform game. More difficult than its predecessor, better HD visuals and great gameplay. This game is not for all kinds of gamers, but if you're a core gamer, it's for you.

    It Takes Two is a magical and incredibly fun trip, which will take us through a huge variety of different sceneries with unique mechanics and a perfect cooperative proposal. One of the surprises of this 2021 and the best work of Josef Fares until now.

    The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best games of 2023, a spectacular year for the video game sector. Puzzles, philosophy and science fiction mix to offer an unforgettable experience. It manages to constantly surprise the player for more than 30 hours, with new mechanics in its puzzles, a superb story and a spectacular staging.

    Iceborne completes the path that Capcom started a year ago, but improving the overall quality through quality of life details, brand new monsters and the impressive comeback of some of the historical names that everybody wanted to face here. Excellent is the best word to define this expansion.

    Virtual & timeless beauty. That's what Clover Studios managed to bring the world six years ago. Okami not only has aged well in its core mechanics, it continues to be the masterpiece it was, and proof that a game can touch us like the music or the movies, directly to our hearts and souls. Amaterasu's epic journey is a must-have in this generation of games that look so cloned each other, that makes even more unique this unique tale of freedom, love and justice that will never look so better than now in High Definition.

    FIFA 13 offers the most realistic football experience in this generation. New offensive movements, impact engine more polished and bigger in terms of licenses and game modes than his predecessor.

    Packed with fast action and impressive refinement, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is the new gold standard for neo-retro. A game made to be replayed countless times.

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great single player adventure. Doesn’t invent anything, but its superb level design, solid combat mechanics and convincing recreation of Star Wars universe turn it into a must-have.

    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.

    A powerful reminder of the versatility of videogames as a medium, visually and narratively. We "just" need talented developers willing to go for them and companies that sustain and support them.

    Salt and Sanctuary is the perfect companion for the Souls series, adapting the core of that games into a 2D action-platformer that is also challenging and rewarding. It's long, clever and maybe the best metroidvania-style game since Guacamelee. A must have.

    Tekken 6 its still Tekken: deep gameplay, very amount of characters, new game modes including an inspired and funny Campaign Mode and, of course, Online support for 1vs1 battles. Did you like Tekken? you'll enjoy this one. Do you like fighting games? Ok, don't doubt it: this is your game.

    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.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 is a great surprise, even if the story has some weak points. The combat is a bit hard at first, but it becomes very fun and strategic once you learn it. You will love exploring the beautiful world on your own monsters and watching its amazing cinematics.

    Imagine in the glorious old times of NES that we'd have the chance of playing with a game that mix the jumping style of Ducktales, the cities from Zelda II, the map and secrets in the levels of Mario Bros. 3 and 8 enemies like in Mega Man, the magic weapons of Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, and all the epic from the Sword & Sorcery Genre. All of them into the most complete Yacht Club Games creation.

    Nioh 2 is not afraid to look face to face with the biggest names in the genre. Team Ninja has managed to expand its formula from a conservative perspective. The continuity of the elements that made the previous one unique serves to propel a game that feels almost infinite.

    Obsidian had a difficult task with New Vegas, a "sequel" of Fallout 3 where they could not offer anything radically new in terms of engine or game systems. But just as expected, the superlative talent of the studio for narrative and dialogue has been more than enough to keep the interest in this game. More of the same, yes, but better and closer to the spirit of the original series, just don't expect it to be immediately noticeable.

    Mario Tennis Aces is the best entry in the series since the GBA title. Its gameplay mechanics are almost perfect as the game feels so smooth in each one of the game surfaces; furthermore, the adventure mode is like a perfect tutorial to canalize the special moves. Beautiful and fun, its only fault is the lack of single player content.
