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.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection brings all the action of Star Wars battles back to consoles. With the mission to be fun, the game has interesting single player campaigns, a Galactic Conquest mode with a hint of strategy and a multiplayer filled with new maps. A collection made for longtime fans, but which also invites new ones to experience one of the most fun experiences in the Star Wars saga.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features fun, challenging gameplay, a diverse number of characters and tracks. There are also plenty of customization options. Multiplayer is the game's strong point, with a variety of modes both online and offline. However, the single-player content leaves something to be desired, becoming monotonous after a few hours. Furthermore, the Donpa Tickets grind is unnecessarily excessive.

Majima's return as the protagonist has never been so good and at the same time unusual. Once again, RGG Studio maintains its seal of quality and goes further with the addition of naval combats along with gameplay that is a true delight, providing hours of fun. Even though it has a simple, unpretentious story on the surface and some moments that could be dispensed with, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii carries in its depths an ode to friendship, dreams and, above all, life.

Fun and unpretentious like a good adventure cartoon, Bat Boy doesn't intend to reinvent the platform genre, but it takes its inspirations from the right places and adds its own contribution by bringing together sports elements to the combat. It's a charismatic retro game and competent in everything it does, although there was room to explore more intentionally the batting mechanics and techniques of the other sports already presented in the game.

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.

Darkest Dungeon II is quite different from the first and everyone should be aware of this. It's a game that brings great new ideas, although followed by a very frustrating "artificial limitation". The affinity system, the brutal and complex combat system, in addition to the better development of the narrative are positive aspects that justify the investment in this universe. However, it's a shame that you have to spend a lot of time unlocking new features to see its full potential.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is one of those games that tells an excellent story, adding significantly to the lore established by the films.

The new additions bring a certain freshness, enriching the narrative without losing the essence established by Rogue City. A great action game and an excellent addition to the RoboCop universe.

With a great story, charismatic characters, fluid and fun combat and a gameplay that is the hallmark of the franchise, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is the remake fans wanted so badly. Even with small bugs, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio shows, once again, that the series' formula is far from boring and makes us anxious about what will come ahead.

Decadent in its visuals and with some new features that do not work, Monster Hunter Rise excels using an improved and more versatile gameplay, delivering with quality what made the franchise famous and offering dozens of hours of fun in a more accessible way.

With a story full of twists and social criticism alongside charismatic and interesting characters, Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is an excellent adventure that awakens our nostalgia with its pixel art graphics and jazz lo-fi soundtrack.

Without surprises or major creative innovations, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes is consistent with what the original game established, adding a new area fully connected to the theme of the third film and elevating a new character to protagonist status. With some interface tweaks, welcome additions among native and foreign enemies, and subtle changes in equipment management, the campaign maintains the same solid structure already known, and Pandora, even in flames, remains an incredible place to explore.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is a great turn-based RPG that delivers everything fans expect from the franchise.

Culturally relevant and provocative in its gameplay, Mystic Pillars is one of those games that, while drawing on great references, finds its element of interest in its simplicity. It may not be exciting enough for certain players, but those interested in a good puzzle will certainly have a lot of fun.

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.

Even though it is still limited by genre trends, Roots of Pacha builds a farming simulator with its own personality by centralizing the theme of community in its optimistic and relaxing campaign. Unfortunately, this didn't extend to multiplayer, which is online only and doesn't allow you to share the screen locally with your loved ones.

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.

With a manor and its surrounding gardens, Arabella has more than a roof of her own to cultivate both fantastic plants and scientific treatises. Botany Manor uses the historical context of a Victorian female scholar to build an ingenious exploration puzzle game, delivering the satisfaction of solving riddles while illustrating a clever historical insight represented by the protagonist's overlooked intellectual life. Both narrative and gameplay are bounded together in our minds by their clues and fragments, making this game a beautiful and worthy whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is, for all intents and purposes, the same consistent and fun game as ever, with several great quality of life improvements and revamped, eye-catching visuals. Even rehashed, it remains a recommended classic for old and new fans of good old zombie carnage.
