Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure manages to combine the best of a good puzzle game with a captivating and very well-told narrative. With simple concepts, it delivers a show of excellence in everything it sets out to do.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings three great games to modern platforms and, as a whole, make an incredible story that all players should enjoy. This trilogy, specifically, is a testament to the evolution of the series between different platforms and technologies while showing that its main pillars, story, characters and incredible mysteries are still strong even nowadays.

Yakuza 0 remains the masterpiece that popularized the franchise in the West and the best entry point for new fans. The story of Kiryu and Majima in the 80s remains impeccable, with its eccentric and fun extra content. However, the Director's Cut is a bittersweet package: while the quality-of-life improvements are welcome and the new scenes enrich the plot, the Red Light Raid online mode is disappointing and the Brazilian Portuguese localization disappoints due to its lack of polish.

Dawntrail is a great expansion with a story with ups and downs, but that sets the stage well for what could become the new Final Fantasy XIV saga. Furthermore, the improvements brought by the graphical update and the new combat mechanics prove that there is still a lot of potential to be explored in the future of the MMORPG.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is clear evolution of the systems of the previous game, delivering an even better story and more fun combat. It's an excellent game for fans of the franchise.

Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra is a very fun title that delivers surprisingly solid gameplay for a debut in a completely new genre. As a living organism, only the future will tell how it will perform, but it's a fact that if you're looking for a deep multiplayer title that's easy to get started with, Gekishin Squadra delivers that.

In short, Frostpunk 2 is a brave step forward, unafraid to reinvent its own formula. While returning players might feel the absence of some predecessor's elements, sticking with it makes the sequel's depth and meticulous design evident. For rookies, no prior knowledge is needed, making it a fascinating gateway to this universe. The only drawbacks are a considerable amount of bugs, the usual (and frustrating) performance hiccups associated with Unreal Engine 5, and menus that can be tricky to navigate at times.

New Star GP is a fun title that focuses on simplicity, but still innovates with its retro aesthetics and some additional choices that offer depth and a feeling of accessibility when controlling the vehicle on challenging tracks. The game allows current players to experience the past, embracing simplicity and the spirit of overcoming as drivers.

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.

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).

Let's! Revolution! is a great game that mixes problem solving, sharp strategy and turn-based action, focusing on the obvious references and conventions of the roguelike genre. Although it lacks a certain provocative spice, it is an addictive, well-grounded and absolutely fun game.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is an exceptional collection of two important JRPGs, including one of the greatest masterpieces of the genre. The gameplay system works well, but the real highlight is the two great narratives that deserve to be played by any fan of the genre.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series brings back all the features we've seen before in Telltale games, both the good and the questionable. The transmedia text is great, and the rhizomatic bifurcations look promising, but combat and exploration systems remain shallow and unappealing. For fans of the genre and/or the franchise, a treat. For others, not so much.

Signalis is a pleasant surprise explicitly inspired by the best-known survivor horrors of the 1990s. The title adopts typical 32-bit mechanics and aesthetics to build a sci-fi horror that manages to establish an immersive and thought-provoking identity.

Although its PS5 version is redundant, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is still a fantastic game. Following on the footsteps of Lacrimosa of Dana is a daunting challenge on it's own, but Nihon Falcom manages to keep the legacy of the legendary RPG series intact through a memorable cast and a story full of twists, being highly recommended for fans of the series and the genre.

Compared to the previous game in the franchise, EA SPORTS F1 25 takes few risks in terms of the driving itself because it knows it has already reached a level of excellence and stability. With some substantial changes to two of its main game modes and subtle improvements to the visuals, it is the most faithful and fun for fans of the category, valuing the most ardent followers without giving up on new enthusiasts.

In a clearly more refined version compared to its original release, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is still heavy, cold, and brutal, knowing exactly what it intends to convey to its audience. The result of a complicated development process due to the context of its developers, it ends up reflecting an uninviting, almost old-fashioned pessimism, resulting in a deep, challenging, and complex game, but one that is also too raw and faithful to concepts that may not appeal to everyone.

PGA Tour 2K25 is another huge leap in quality for the franchise, delivering an exceptional golf simulator focused on the single-player experience while still offering good multiplayer options. The gameplay quality and the depth of its modes make it a must-have title for fans of the sport.

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.

MLB The Show 24 is a great baseball simulator and one of the most competent sports games on the market. This year's Storylines are excellent and the new features in Road to the Show add a lot to the solo experience, even if there is a lack of novelty in other modes.

After changing its style from what it was before, EVERSPACE 2 delivers much more freedom to the player and improvements on the great gameplay it has. It still falls short in delivering a simplified and uninspired story and narrative, but excels in good combat and exploration.

Although there are some technical issues, Ninja Gaiden 2: Black manages to provide a very dynamic and fun experience. If you've never played other games in the series because you found them difficult, this one is for you.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is as brutal and bloodthirsty as its predecessor. It has solid mechanics, even if they are uninventive and quite repetitive, and it's full of clichés. However, it's a typical action game that works thanks to its simplicity and because it gets straight to the point: massacre some aliens without asking too many questions.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero is a very bad remaster of a very good game. While the story of the SSS and the journey through Crossbell must be played by any fan of the series and the gameplay holds up surprisingly well even today, the PS4 version leaves so much to be desired that it is only recommended for those who can't afford to play it on another platform.

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time marks Level-5's triumphant return and shows the esteemed developer still has a lot to show to the public.

As a beginner, Assetto Corsa Competizione has such a high barrier of entry that it would take me a lot of time and dedication to explore everything the title has to offer. It's certainly an interesting experience of trying to control an incredibly fast car and going, gradually, taking milliseconds off each lap and trying to get a better time. For enthusiasts, it's certainly a valid recommendation, but for newbies to the genre I believe there is a lot to be done for this to become a receptive title.

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.

Ready or Not is an excellent cooperative first-person shooter. The immersion is fantastic, with outstanding realism. There are many moments of tension and team communication. However, there are some issues, such as the single-player bots being quite difficult to control. Furthermore, the game was clearly designed for five players, so many levels become unnecessarily long and difficult with fewer players.
