    Call of the Elder Gods manages to deliver a consistent experience within its premise: a narrative adventure focused on mystery, atmosphere, and clever puzzles. The character writing, the Lovecraftian setting, and the gradual evolution of the puzzles make the campaign constantly engaging, while the art direction and soundtrack contribute to its identity. There are certain visual technical limitations and some frustrating moments caused by demanding puzzles, but the final result is a confident, mature, and very well-constructed sequel, especially for those who enjoy more contemplative and investigative games.

    With its revamped stealth mechanics and refined aesthetics, Directive 8020 offers a clear evolution of the genre, but continues to reaffirm some of the limitations, particularly in terms of interaction, inherited from the first season of the anthology. With excellent references, the story (along with the excellent work of the cast) remains its best quality, with good pacing, great development, and important turning points that, while not escaping old cliches, still work very well.

    Invincible VS is a great fighting game with simple controls, but packed with mechanics. It's not easy to master it and will probably appeal more to those who want to delve deeper into its gameplay. The story mode is simple and there are other basic single-player modes, while the online mode does its job. However, the number of characters leaves a little to be desired for a 3v3 game.

    PowerWash Simulator 2 could be described as "just a standard sequel", as it takes the first game as a basis and refines some of its aspects while adding a handful of new features. The target audience might be restricted, but the "ding" which confirms each objective has been fully cleaned is still as addictive and will sate your OCD.

    Saros masterfully delivers on everything it sets out to do. Although the game doesn't yet have any extra content to enjoy after the ending, it manages to entertain the player for a long time simply through the curiosity of testing all types of weapons and searching for audio recordings of past crews. Saros is the kind of homework a student is proud to show to the teacher.

    Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a great compilation of games that deserve to be remembered by fans of the classic Capcom character. Featuring a good evolution of the Battle Network gameplay and delivering some of the best narratives in the series, there's a lot to enjoy here.

    Aware of its ambitions, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire avoids delving too deeply into complex mechanics or sophisticated exploration and progression structures, but there's no doubt it manages to blend the "rubber hose" aesthetic with the creation of an undeniably immersive noir atmosphere. The audiovisual excellence, which articulates a spectacular sound design with cohesive art direction, underpins a solid first-person shooter - even if its gameplay is not very innovative - finding a good balance between inspiration and originality.

    Hades II is a masterpiece in every sense. A game that not only improves upon everything that made the original special, but also expands the combat and adds even more content that rewards players' dedication. With virtually flawless execution, it not only establishes itself as one of the best titles in the genre, but becomes a must-have for every video game fan.

    Pragmata is a great Capcom game with a good story and unusual, yet very functional gameplay. The length is ideal in some ways, and there are many extras to enjoy. In the end, the only criticism is that the game as a whole becomes repetitive in combat after you get the hang of it.

    Excellent in many aspects, with great atmosphere, fun combat, a constant sense of discovery and novelty on an absurd scale, Crimson Desert is one of the best open-world experiences of this generation. Some problems don't detract from the brilliance of a title that always rewards the time invested and makes the player want to play more whenever possible.

    Starfield seems to have suffered from a kind of misguided expectation syndrome two years ago when it was released, but it is definitely a true masterpiece waiting to be discovered. While it may not be perfect, especially in terms of freedom of exploration, minor graphical glitches, and fluidity of navigation between worlds, the excellent balance between precise gameplay, resource management and crafting, and a dense narrative for those with the maturity the genre demands, makes this game a true spectacle on many levels.

    Life is Strange: Reunion is a good game in the series, but it plays it too safe. The gameplay is great - like going back in time with Max and the parts with Chloe. The voice acting is amazing. But the story isn't the emotional rollercoaster the series is known for - from beginning to end it's like a stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon.

    The Occultist succeeds greatly in its atmosphere, narrative construction, and the way it uses first-person horror to create constant tension and truly effective scares. The setting of Godstone and the mystery surrounding the protagonist are engaging enough to keep the player invested from beginning to end. However, the underutilization of some important mechanics, the lack of a functional map, and limitations such as the absence of chapter selection prevent it from reaching an even higher level. Still, it's a solid and memorable experience within the genre.

    Darwin's Paradox! excels in its impeccable art direction, the protagonist's charisma, and the creative approach of alternating gameplay both in and out of the water, in addition to delivering a fun narrative with memorable cutscenes. On the other hand, the uneven difficulty, especially in the second half, and the decision to make certain challenges mandatory that could be optional end up hurting the pacing and generating unnecessary frustration. Still, it's a remarkable and personality-filled experience, worthwhile mainly for its visuals and originality.

    GRIME II succeeds greatly in expanding gameplay freedom, offering an extremely well-constructed world, and rewarding players who dedicate themselves to exploration and learning combat. The variety of approaches and intelligent level design significantly enhance the experience, but technical problems, such as persistent bugs, and some excesses — mainly in length and dialogue — prevent it from reaching an even higher level. Still, it's an ambitious and memorable sequel within the genre.

    Marvel MaXimum Collection revives an important chapter in the history of the publisher's adaptations prior to their rise to popularity in theaters, featuring six games with the strengths and limitations typical of their era. While the selection is interesting, the quality-of-life features could be more generous, as seen in other similar initiatives. On the other hand, the curation of supplementary material is exemplary, making the package a great option, especially for those who have an emotional connection to the works and the generation to which they belong.

    Screamer is an extremely pleasant surprise in a genre that currently receives few releases. The gameplay is complex, but the game is entirely dedicated to gradually introducing the player to its mechanics and its world. Fans of arcade-style racing should give the title a chance, not only because of the few releases in the genre, but because it's a great game.

    Tales of Berseria remains one of the most emblematic and darkest chapters in the franchise, with a mature plot that inverts traditional roles by placing us in the shoes of villains and a combat system that may superficially seem simple, but brings a good layer of complexity. The quality-of-life improvements in this version make the experience more fluid and adapted to current standards, although the need for this remaster is questionable for those who already own the PS4 version.

    Dark Deity 2 is an excellent strategy RPG that delivers a strong sense of nostalgia while also bringing enough new features to its gameplay to maintain a modern feel.

    Perhaps John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is far from offering anything new in a market already quite saturated with cooperative shooters for up to four people against demonic enemies.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is the definitive experience of one of the 2003 horror classics.

    Maintaining the structure that made the series famous and without abandoning its roots, while also evolving within what it used to become different as a spin-off, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an excellent game and the high point of the trilogy.

    Without reinventing the formula, WWE 2K26 shows that the franchise has reached an exemplary level of maturity among sports games. The subtle gameplay improvements, the inclusion of new fight types, the exciting Showcase starring CM Punk, and the good replayability of MyRISE make this one of the most complete editions in the series. Despite this, monetization practices continue to plague fans, especially those who want to get the most out of the title.

    Whether playing solo or co-op, Scott Pilgrim EX is a positive addition to the beat'em up genre.

    Resident Evil Requiem is an excellent game, taking the best elements from the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes. The gameplay is great, the graphics are superb, and the atmosphere is outstanding. The only downsides are the bittersweet story and the lack of extra modes.

    ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard uses simple magnetic color mechanics to create puzzles that, while not impressive, at least maintain interest. The same goes for its satirical story about labor relations, in which we play as a tester trapped in a leonine contract of dangerous experiments and are guided by the very well-voiced sadistic bosses. For those who have trouble visualizing the colors, there is an accessibility option that uses symbols on the puzzle objects.

    REANIMAL represents a visceral and larger-scale evolution of the formula established by Tarsier Studios in Little Nightmares. While the title disappoints due to its brevity, it shines through its world design, which utilizes visual communication to guide the player organically through an intriguing horror universe.

    Even underutilizing the rich narrative universe from which it borrows iconic characters, BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is simply brilliant, overcoming the sameness that the roguelite genre has been sinking into in recent years by betting on a sharp, dynamic, and adaptive gameplay system. The diversity of characters and the cycle of entry and exit strike a rare balance between temporary bonuses and permanent improvements, which becomes a genuine invitation to an adventure that, within the precepts of the genre, knows how to seduce, keep interest high, and reward the player.

    Combining ingenious ideas with practical simplicity, Lovish has dozens of short stages that need to be played multiple times to uncover their various secrets.

    As the second Christmas title in the series, Hidden Cats in Christmas has different settings from its predecessor's and expands to all the scenes the mechanic of gradually coloring the completed sections. This has an ambivalent effect: it can be helpful in difficult moments, but it also ends up making the game too easy overall. In the end, Nukearts maintains the standard we already know and delivers another fun, relaxing, and well-made example in the unpretentious world of hidden cat games.

    Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake that retains only a small essence of the original work. Despite being quite faithful to the story, some script decisions leave something to be desired, and the secondary content, with the exception of Daddy Rank, goes from something new to just "more of the same." Dark Ties is an interesting addition, but it could also have a better-developed story. On the other hand, the gameplay of both titles remains fluid and with fun new combat styles to master. The final experience is somewhat bittersweet, being a remake well below the original, but one that provides many hours of fun.

    While far from perfect, My Hero Academia: All's Justice smooths out some of the rough edges seen in its two predecessors, presenting a simple yet polished combat system for this type of adaptation.

    Code Vein II is both an evolution in some aspects and a regression in others. The visual style gets lost amidst a problematic or unrefined engine for the genre. The story relies on good secondary characters, but offers very little beyond that. In the end, the open-world structure doesn't seem to have been the best decision for much of the design, and much of the game's quality lies in the simplified combat, even though there's a tremendous effort to make everything overly complex.

The story of Kiryu and Majima in the 80s remains impeccable, with its eccentric and fun extra content.

    In its original form, Red Dead Redemption is nearly perfect in all its key aspects, such as narrative, gameplay, and artistic concept. The 2023 PS4 remaster was timid in updating definition and performance, but did enough to introduce it to a new generation and fill a gap for longtime fans. All of this is now confirmed by the native PlayStation 5 version, with its 4K at 60fps with HDR, things that seem like little – and in a way, they are – but which at least offer the most solid, beautiful, and stable experience possible for one of the greatest classics in gaming history.

Both deserve the attention and dedication of every good fan of the genre.

    Probably the word that best describes Islets is "pleasant," which applies to everything this game offers. Even though it's a metroidvania without any major innovations or risks, the experience is always lovely and enjoyable, with humorous writing, competent and well-paced exploration, and good boss fights with bullet hell elements.

    Technically, this Painkiller reboot is a great success, boasting beautiful visuals and mind-blowing, fluid, challenging, and energetic gameplay. Its biggest problem is that it resembles the current vision of DOOM more than its own origins, which has cost it its identity in favor of a more generic and shallow market vision.

    Tormented Souls 2 gets the visuals right, but loses its soul. The title is still a good classic survival horror experience, and despite significant technical advancements, the script falters, and the story degenerates into something more generic until its final minutes.

    Ninja Gaiden 4 is a bold new beginning for the series that brings a new dynamic to combat while still living up to the series' legacy. It may not be the Ninja Gaiden longtime fans were hoping for, but it's an excellent game and one of the best action titles of the generation.

    No small flaw can detract from the invigorating brilliance of Bye Sweet Carole, a game that finds in its obvious inspirations the breath of creativity and identity that the horror genre so desperately needs. With mesmerizing art, sound, and animation, and a script full of subtleties and layers of insight, the point-and-click exploration and puzzle-solving mechanics serve a captivating protagonist well on her personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

    Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a fun crossover game, but limited as a fighting game in 2025. Still, for fans of the franchises, the RPG systems the game brings are functional and the fan service is pretty nice.

    Just Dance 2026 Edition maintains the vibrant and fun essence that has made the franchise famous over the years, offering a solid selection of songs and choreography for all tastes, as well as significant technical improvements — such as the use of the smartphone camera as a full-body sensor. The return of Party Mode and creative partnerships reinforce Ubisoft's commitment to keeping the game relevant and inclusive. However, the lack of significant innovations can leave a feeling of repetition for veteran players. Even so, the game excels in its mission: providing accessible and energetic fun for those who love to dance.

    Visually stunning and faithful to the series' atmospheric horror style, Little Nightmares III impresses with its aesthetics but lacks substance. The new title, although well-executed, suffers from its repetitive formula and lack of creative daring. The inclusion of online co-op is a welcome addition, but the absence of local co-op is unjustified. It is a good game, but it is far from a significant step forward for the franchise.

    Earthion is a title aimed at a specific niche: fans of the 16-bit era and the side-scrolling spaceship genre. The title doesn't seek to expand its reach, but instead delivers a polished experience within its niche. It's certainly a title that not everyone will be able to appreciate, but it should gain a loyal following among those who do.

    NBA Bounce easily fills a gap in the current market for sports games less committed to the realism that dominates the genre's major brands. Even with a clear lack of long-term content, it's charismatic, charming, and easily assimilated by players of all skill levels, favoring silly fun over immersion.

    Battlefield 6 marks the return of one of the greatest multiplayer franchises to its glory days. With one of the best sound designs in the series, a competent destruction system, extensive customization options, and varied maps, the game delivers intense matches and immersive gameplay. The single-player campaign and some design choices may not please everyone, but they do not compromise the overall quality of this excellent title.

    Absolum is a fantastic new intellectual property, the result of another successful partnership between DotEmu and Guard Crush. The game innovates by fusing the beat'em-up genre with roguelite, making it unlike anything else on the market. Its solid design and constant surprise factor make this "rogue-em-up" a highly recommended game, even for those who are frustrated by randomness.

    Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition delivers a fun and engaging experience, balancing action and stealth within the Alien franchise universe, with a well-crafted setting, exploration, and soundtrack that enhance immersion. The VR adaptation to the conventional version was well executed, preserving the essence of the game. However, certain visual glitches take away some of the experience's shine, and the tension and terror don't quite reach the level of Alien: Isolation. Even so, it's a solid title and recommended for fans of the series and the genre.
