    Elden Ring
    With Elden Ring, From Software establishes an ideal model in open world game design. Neither too empty nor artificially crowded, with each adventure bringing a significant reward, albeit proportionate to the intensity of the challenge. The game sets a new paradigm for the genre, as it strikes a perfect balance by rewarding the player for each task accomplished, exploration well performed, or each battle won. The journey is massive, full of content and with minimal repetition. Elden Ring delivers extensive customization and an even more enhanced combat system than its spiritual predecessors. This aspect, added to the online component, will surely ensure a healthy community for years to come. It is unfortunate that performance issues exist, but such a factor should not be an impediment for the community to enjoy such a special game.

    Astro Bot
    Astro Bot is an excellent platform game. It's fun, accessible, varied and full of collectibles. The references to the franchises and games that have been part of the history of PlayStation consoles are amazing, especially the stages themed around specific series. The only downside is that it's relatively short, and it may seem easy for 3D platform games veterans.

    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is FromSoftware's biggest and most ambitious expansion yet. However, it could have been flawless if it weren't for the over-recycling of enemies. Still, the challenging boss fights and great sense of exploration with the addition of new map layouts make Shadow of the Erdtree an excellent conclusion to the Elden Ring journey.

    Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon
    After over two decades, we get part of Tsukihime's story with the remake Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. From start to finish, an engaging story, that's also interesting, sad, tragic and very, very beautiful.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS5 is still the fantastic adventure that won over thousands of players in the last generation. It's basically one of the best games of all time improved in many points, such as loading, frame rate and graphics. The free upgrade just make things even better. However, don't expect anything new though - at its heart it's the same game we enjoyed in 2015 and its expansions later on.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio
    Metaphor: ReFantazio is an excellent JRPG with exceptional storytelling, combat, and setting, enhanced by one of the most exquisite graphical styles and soundtracks ever seen. Excellent in every little detail, it is further proof that, when it is at its best, Atlus is incomparable.

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.

    Hollow Knight: Silksong
    Hollow Knight: Silksong is bigger and better than its memorable predecessor. While its "bigger" nature brings side effects inherent to its excesses, the gameplay changes and the meticulous attention to detail are important motivators that keep us persevering through the numerous challenges of a rich, deep world filled with secrets that invite exploration for those curious and eager to dedicate themselves.

    Persona 5 Royal
    Persona 5 Royal on PS5 manages to be better than the previous version just for its graphics, performance and additional content, but in the end, it's the same title from 2020. With that in mind, the game becomes a must-buy only for those who still did not have the opportunity to test the PS4 version. If this is not your case, don't invest your money here.

    DAVE THE DIVER

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the promised and deserved conclusion to a saga that began so many years ago.

    Cocoon
    In Cocoon, the strangely beautiful alien setting is a meticulously well-done job that, in general, compensates for the minimalism of the almost non-existent narrative structure. The journey is filled with puzzles that work with the elegant cohesion of a living organism, flowing in an experience that, on the one hand, is harmonious and rich, but, on the other, is simpler and more contained than it should be.

    The Last of Us Part II Remastered
    People can crucify companies that remaster games instead of creating new works, however, when something is as well done as The Last of Us Part II Remastered, there is no hater in the world who can find flaws to complain about. All the extras greatly increase the lifespan of the game and can deepen the player even further into the narrative in an extraordinary way. If you played the original version and have a PS5 at home, purchasing (or upgrading) is mandatory.

    The Talos Principle 2
    The Talos Principle 2 is a masterpiece that ventures into ingenious puzzles and the philosophical universe of deep questions. Even though it is aimed at audiences looking for exciting, challenging and honest intellectual stimulation, this is a less intimidating experience than it may seem, thanks to the flexibility to progress through the campaign and the certainty that each puzzle already contains everything necessary to solve it. Few games have given me so much satisfaction with the beauty of seeing everything connect and make sense of the riddles, making me run to the next. This is one of the best games of 2023 and I'm humbly delighted to see its existence.

    Tekken 8
    Tekken 8 is a natural evolution of a fantastic series. The online finally has a very well implemented rollback netcode. The cinematic story mode is well made and has an interesting plot. Other modes such as Tekken Ball and Arcade Quest help with the title's longevity. But the point that matters most, which is the gameplay, continues to please veterans and newcomers alike - but only time will tell if the Heat System will be well accepted by the majority of players.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of RGG's most ambitious titles. The union of the two dragons brings a mature plot, full of intrigue, with fun and exciting moments, but also a strong criticism of our society. The improvements in combat and the occupation system make the gameplay even more refined and with the possibility of new strategies. The visual part shows that the Dragon Engine still has a lot to offer and exploring Honolulu is not only fun, but also rewarding. All of this is surrounded by one of the best soundtracks in the franchise. Its big problem is the replay factor, since the New Game+ campaign is paid. A spectacular game that brings dozens of new features, but without forgetting to give a warm hug to longtime fans.

    Kyle Thompson gets it right once again, making Crypt Custodian his best metroidvania yet and an easy recommendation. In this top-down world, we have a sprawling interconnected map, exciting boss fights, over 100 collectibles to find, and a simple but captivating story. On top of that, Pluto's adventure in the afterlife is an example to be followed in terms of quality of life features that value the player's experience.

    Silent Hill f
    Everything the Silent Hill franchise has offered over the years is here in Silent Hill f. The chaos and fear takes over you at every turn, and while it has some performance issues on the PS5 Pro, it doesn't diminish how artistically beautiful, fun, and horrifying this game is. Without a doubt, a title that should be in the collection of any gamer and fan of the genre.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    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. Although it lacks a slight refinement in parts of its gameplay, it's a worthwhile title for any Monster Hunter fan.

    Persona 4 Golden
    I understand that Persona 4 Golden has a special place in the hearts of those who played it and want to revisit the classic, and that it's still a great choice for those who have never played it, but an addition to the story, new Personas or even a more elaborate work with graphics could've brought this still excellent RPG to a new high in 2023.

    Mediterranea Inferno
    Mediterranea Inferno challenges the narrative, social and emotional conventions of what we've already seen in visual novels, and gets it right by problematizing conveniences in a bold and incisive way, without being shy about saying, showing or poking at topics that are still so sensitive in a world that prefers to ignore its own scars.

    Cuphead in the Delicious Last Course
    Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is a great DLC that further enhances an already incredible game. Although Ms. Chalice is not exactly a third character and works as a charm, she brings a lot of new features to the gameplay. Bosses are still amazing and challenging. The only problem may be the duration of the DLC.

    Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
    Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has excellent gameplay and with numerous possibilities to assemble your mecha and style of play. However, it is also a title that does not fulfill its potential with the story, with the online and it has a series of decisions that could make the experience more enjoyable. It's certainly a great game, but it could have reached a much higher level of excellence.

    Octopath Traveler II
    Octopath Traveler II is an excellent example of how to release a classic JRPG with a modern flair. Its engaging narrative and captivating characters by themselves already deliver a highly valuable title, but it is on the rich simplicity of its combat where it reaches an even higher bar. The small technical issues, excessive random encounters and simplistic character evolution system are the only complaints that can be made about a title that delights at every minute.

    PRAGMATA
    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.

    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered features fantastic graphics, it is technically flawless, and offers some quality of life improvements. However, the original game hasn't aged badly enough to receive a remaster already, and revisiting it without certain improvements from its sequel is a bit odd. However, it's still a must-play title.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a fantastic game because the title it's based on is splendid. Konami offers excellent graphics in this new version. The only problem is that there was room to modernize elements of the original game while still maintaining respect for the work, but the developer decided to play safe. This means that if you're expecting something different from what you've known for over 20 years, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, for those looking to relive Snake's adventure or experience the saga for the first time, Metal Gear Solid Delta is an excellent option.

    Jusant
    Jusant is one of those titles to be played at your own pace, while enjoying its landscapes and every moment of its characters' journey. More than a climbing game, Jusant is a work of friendship and awareness; an adventure through a desolate world full of stories to tell.

    Symphonia
    Artistically, Symphonia is one of the most beautiful examples in the precision platform genre. Its musical themes are engaging and as efficient as the level design and gameplay progression, although the controls are not always as precise as they should be and there is a lack of an additional area to make the game a more robust and varied package. These issues, however, do not negate the harmony of this orchestra that is worth listening to.

    Blue Prince
    Blue Prince is among the most creative and intriguing games released recently. Although its randomness can lead to moments of frustration, it is precisely this unpredictability that fuels the player's curiosity to continue exploring the mansion's secrets. The sense of discovery present in even the smallest details and the achievement of solving its mysteries contribute to an engaging and surprisingly addictive gameplay.
