Tempest Rising is an excellent real-time strategy game, inheriting the best traditions of '90s RTSs. It offers two highly entertaining, varied campaigns with well-designed missions, and two distinct factions. Its gameplay is deep and full of possibilities. A triumph that evokes the best sensations Command and Conquer offered in the mid-'90s.

Forza Horizon 5 arrives on PS5 with the same energy as we saw four years ago in its original release.

One of the most stunning, ambitious and inspiring debuts in the history of videogames. Sandfall Interactive has something special on their hands.

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.

Bubble Ghost Remake is a refreshing new take on a cult video game with new content but unjustified difficulty spikes. It also showcases a well-designed graphical update, with a colorful and friendly cartoon style.

Rosewater is an ambitious point and click graphic adventure set in the Wild West, filled with random decisions and events, and boasting spectacular graphics that employ rotoscoping technique. Unfortunately, its emphasis on narrative takes its toll on the pace and the quantity and quality of its puzzles, which won't excite veteran fans of the genre.

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.

Wanderstop is beautiful cozy game that defies the notion of cozy games that fall into capitalist gameplay.

Split Fiction is a love letter to videogames. A beautiful, emotional and a very fun cooperative experience.

Skydance's Behemoth is a decent VR sword-and-sorcery adventure, with some really eye-catching staging and some really fun fights against colossal monsters. However, between colossuses we have to deal with tedious sections and repetitive enemies.

Two Point Museum is a fun management game, full of options and depth, yet very accessible and player-friendly. It challenges you to manage a museum from a humorous perspective, offering an absorbing and highly entertaining experience. 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.

Don't Nod latest game is like Life is Strange but with some new additions to the dialogue system. An interesting narrative adventure, although still the same formula, and the camera mechanic doesn't stand up very well through the full game.

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.

Despite the original games' largely niche status as companion pieces to the physical card game, Yu-Gi-Oh! EARLY DAYS COLLECTION is an impressive 14-in-1 compilation that fans of the franchise will love.

Majima is a great character and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth fans have plenty of reasons to give it a chance, but it's a minor, repetitive game with side quests that not reach the usual quality within the franchise.

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.

Civilization VII is the most revolutionary and innovative installment of the legendary 4X turn-based strategy saga. The division of the games into 3 eras, and the possibility of choosing a leader and civilization separately are just the tip of the iceberg of a large number of interesting new features. The title offers thousands of hours of content, retains all the features that took the saga to the top, and offers excellent audiovisual finish and a fully polished experience free of bugs.

Between the original and Sigma, this remake is the best version of the game since the Itagaki's one, the best entry for newcomers and a good appetizer to wait Ragebound and Ninja Gaiden 4.

A wonderful arcade as good as the previous one, but even its new and fun multiplayer can't save it from the lack of content.

Stray is a nice port of one of the most well-known indie gems of recent times. "The cat game" is friendly in its gameplay and captivating in its images and music, but not only that. His message is profound without falling into condescension, and he manages to win our hearts with humility, sincerity and truth. You never feel that you are being told a false story, but the sad chronicle of a possible future.
