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.

Although there's no big new content, both are masterpieces that every player should play at least once in their life, now with visual improvements.

It has improved significantly on most of the weak points of Tsushima, while keeping what made it special: its supreme beauty. A feast for the eyes and a superb adventure that would benefit from a different approach to the combat and character progression.

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.

EA SPORTS FC 26 improves the gameplay feeling and reduce the pace impact during matches, but at the same time there's almost no new relevant content in other aspects.

Dying Light The Beast is a fun spin-off that avoids evolving the franchise.

LEGO Voyagers is an audiovisual delight that bets everything on the cooperative experience in a world full of creativity and friendship.

There may be less revenue from micropayments this year, but player opinions will improve, as it remains at the top of the sports genre in terms of both technical and gameplay. We hope this truly marks a turning point in the policy surrounding the game, and we can enjoy increasingly better and more player-friendly releases.

Lost Soul Aside tries a lot of things while being inspired by the most popular Japanese games, but it is very far from them.

Hell is Us is a sci-fi adventure with soulslike ADN with a great context, but its genre mix flaws.

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.

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.

Evil Empire proves that the success of Dead Cells is also thanks to them, and they gift us a truly worthy spiritual sequel. Let’s hope Ubisoft doesn’t hold them back — that will be the difference between a great game as it stands and the must-play title it has the potential to become.

Mafia the Old Country is an enjoyable cinematic game with great characters and story, but gameplay feels to as old as the Old Country.

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.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a soulslike that shines thanks to its very well designed combat and challenging bosses, but it is not at the same level of the greatest games within the genre.

Luto is a great horror video game that combines the best of the genre's classics with the chilling details that P.T. used to terrify us all more than ten years ago.

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.

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.
