Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is the biggest proof of how amazing the series is when its elements click and bring it back to the right direction after some missteps. Combat, story, characters and setting all work together to make it one the best game in the whole franchise.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged improves everything that was already great about its predecessor, adding game modes and mechanics to offer more diversity and quality of life to a simple but very entertaining game.

Rogue Legacy 2 enhances all aspects of the first game and delivers a vast amount of content that provides many hours of quality entertainment. Every journey is unique and well balanced. Although failure is recurrent along the way, the game gradually provides small upgrades that will allow even the most casual players to succeed in the end.

Based on Naoe's strength as the protagonist and the renewed focus on its stealth gameplay, Assassin's Creed Shadows is yet another resounding success for the franchise. Its only flaw is its inability to put Yasuke on the same level as his companion, a minor thing when so many other elements make it a must-have for those interested in the series or the setting.

V Rising is easily one of the best survival and creation titles on the market, largely due to the great use of its world and setting, simplified design and excellent quality overall.

With well-crafted writing, engaging and dynamic battles and luxurious pixel art embellished by vivid lighting, Sea of Stars nails the test of being a turn-based RPG that's both retro and modern. We can still notice some small outdated legacies of the genre, but that doesn't affect the pleasure of embarking as young heroes to save the world in an epic and witty campaign worthy of the new old days.

Outlaws is a fantastic adventure worthy of the Star Wars universe. Competent in several areas and shaking up Ubisoft's open-world formula for its games, Kay Vess's adventure is fun and interesting from start to finish, filled with unique details from an incredible universe.

A Little To The Left is nothing exceptional, but because it is unpretentious, it can surprise you positively. Get ready to relax and spend hours organizing the most diverse types of clutter, barely noticing the time passing.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is basically two excellent games in one. Sonic Generations is a remaster of one of the hedgehog's best titles, while Shadow Generations is a new game that builds on the Sonic Frontiers formula to revisit the past of one of the most beloved characters by fans. Shadow's gameplay mechanics are great, the levels are fun and exploring the White Space is great. It's a complete and recommended package.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, when combined with update 2.0, brings a series of new features and adjustments to the original game. Some of its worst technical problems are resolved, adding new narrative layers, improving problematic systems and, finally, taking the game to the level we expected at launch.

More than a recommendation for its unique accessibility features, The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is, as a whole, a robust and very well-articulated project. Aside from the lack of localization and advanced new generation features, it is an absolutely necessary game for each of us, sighted or not.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty doesn't try to reinvent Nioh's formula, but manages to bring together its main elements and make specific changes, which allow it to be enjoyed by different types of audiences. And even with a combat system that may feel random at times, it's still able to provide a great feeling when overcoming its challenges. The setting is excellent and its engaging storytelling makes the future of this new franchise very promising.

ARC Raiders may not be extremely innovative, but it's almost perfectly executed for the multiplayer environment. It has an interesting and fun premise, full of action and tension, and it serves as a benchmark, shaping part of what games of this style should be like in the future.

Walking the fine line that distinguishes metroidvanias from Zelda-likes, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo nails the fun of adventure and displays a strong identity of its own, which is shown both in its irreverent satire style, as well as in the gameplay of ricochets and yo-yo tricks.

With new fun and challenging modes, Days Gone Remastered brings technical and aesthetic refinements that, although subtle, adapt Deacon's journey to the current generation, thus giving it an opportunity to reach its full latent potential. Without reinventing the Drifter's two wheels and adding quality of life to the game with new options, it is certainly the opportunity to rediscover (or discover for the first time) this beautiful work underestimated by time.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened has dynamic gameplay and the dark story leaves no loose ends in its conclusion. It's a smart game (as expected) and transforms its predecessor's open-world experience into something more linear and succinct. Some might see this as a positive thing, while others might be left with the impression that there's something missing compared to the previous title. Either way, it's clear that Frogwares has masterfully remade a game that was already successful at its time, taking it to another level - and this needs to be recognized.

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.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is basically a "Super" Granblue Fantasy Versus. In other words, it is an updated package with all the characters so far, netcode via rollback and some new modes. If you liked the original, you'll enjoy this new game even more. Otherwise, as the foundation is still the same, your opinion is unlikely to change.

Them's Fightin' Herds is an excellent fighting game that definitely deserves respect for its high audiovisual quality and solid gameplay, both online and offline. Not even the modest cast and uneven pace of the story mode detract from the fun and well-rounded experience of a game that exudes care and competence.

Shogun Showdown is a turn-based strategy roguelite that will definitely require all your concentration to overcome its biggest challenges. The large number of weapons and abilities, in addition to a great setting inspired by Japanese culture, allow the game to hold your attention for many hours.

Yooka-Replaylee fixes the main flaws of Yooka-Laylee, offering a much better experience in basically everything: graphics, soundtrack, gameplay, content and fun.

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.

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.

Born of Bread is one of the biggest surprises of the year. An initially simple RPG, but one that captivates with each new mission and companion we encounter. In addition to the visuals heavily inspired by Paper Mario, the game brings a lightness that I haven't found in a title of this genre for some time. Fun, with delicious exploration, combat that works, an excellent soundtrack and full of pop culture references, Born of Bread is a game that deserves attention and that fulfills its main objective: to entertain and, at the end of the day, leave us with a smile on his face.

Helldivers II came as a surprise and marks a significant moment in PlayStation Studios' console and PC releases. If it has the right support, it will be a game remembered and played for years to come.

Another hit within the DRPG genre, Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society marks another entry in NIS' successful franchise. An unmissable title for fans of the genre and a strong recommendation for JRPG fans in general.

Stellar Blade is a great action game with an interesting story. It's challenging and its content is varied enough to keep the player entertained. However, certain combat mechanics require some adjustments. Furthermore, the main campaign is somewhat short, and can be completed in around 10 to 15 hours (the side content compensates the situation, potentially doubling this number).

Fantasy Finds adds a considerable number of expeditions and items to Two Point Museum through a highly entertaining theme. Additionally, new mechanics involving specialists and potion crafting refresh the gameplay with RPG-inspired elements, making this expansion a must-have for all Two Point County curators.
