Oxide: Room 104 can be tiring to many in its clunky, basic animations, and complicated combat. Also, it can be frustrating in many ways, because of the amount of deaths you will suffer, or how demanding it is in terms of the order you must follow to finish it. However, for fans of the horror genre, Oxide: Room 104 is an easy recommendation as long as you don't approach the game with bigger budget games in mind. What this title has to offer is an original, fun, and well thought out experience in terms of gameplay, level design, and puzzle design.

For fans of both 90's and current beat 'em ups, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a game you'll want to play. This title has effectively refined and updated the formula to appeal to today's gamers. Gamers who are unfamiliar with this genre will find themselves with a game that is genuinely fun to play.

The Quarry pays homage to the slasher genre with more than just a spiritual successor to Until Dawn.

Pac-Man Museum + is the best tribute to the character's 30 years, collecting a large part of the old and not so old games in one place. With added features like a global leaderboard and customization of your own arcade, this title is definitely one of the best Pac-Man games of all time.

Silt is a beautiful puzzle game that, however, is not up to par when it comes to gameplay, with both frustrating and unwitty situations.

Sniper Elite 5 is the new entry in the franchise. With more freedom for the player to choose, and a gigantic variety of weapons, sometimes it feels too similar to the previous Sniper Elite games, and Rebellion could have been braver in some aspects.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an 2.5D scroll Action JRPG with some Metroidvania elements developed by Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden series) that feels really basic on the very beginning but as soon as you keep playing and reaching some point in the storyline it will get surprisingly better and fun. This game is a prequel to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, coming next year 2023, but this will be turn-based JRPG instead. Overall, great visual graphics and designs, great 3D environments, beautifully animated, and a japanese-kinda-storyline with probably too many unnecessary sidequests missions and some main missions unnecessary as well. Could be better overall but after 150+ missions and more than 30 hours your love for the characters, the world and ultimately the game, will just keep rising for this new IP.

Evil Dead: The Game is a great asymmetrical game. It's fun in both roles and has a lot of content, but it still has several issues to fix.

Trek to Yomi is a game with its ups and downs, in which an interesting plot, together with an amazing artistic style, fall apart due to a terrible combat system, which leaves this title in a "limbo".

Martha is Dead is a walking simulator with touches of psychological horror that manages to turn its most controversial section into an element capable of enhancing what it intends to show, although there are times when it unnecessarily overdoes it. Although it has a somewhat clumsy gameplay and a deficient technical section, the story of Giulia is worth living.

Long awaited masterpiece Chrono Cross is back, and the HD remaster done by Square-Enix fit perfectly as an ode to the series started in 1995 with Chrono Trigger. Now with the sequel-spin-off Radical Dreamers for the first time released across the world and finally translated, The Radical Dreamers Edition does and outstanding job reminding us how epic was Chrono Cross back in 1999 and how it's still up to date in 2022 in terms of quality and gameplay. One of the best JRPG ever made with new 3D models, 2D redrawn work on HD and power-up buttons. Probably the best HD remaster from Square-Enix made to date. Not a single technical issue despite controversy across social media, we played 50+ hours on four different Xbox consoles, and even PS4, just to find out Switch and Steam ports are the ones having real trouble on framerate and delay, not on Xbox nor PS4.

Thanks to its advanced features in gameplay as well as performance, MLB The Show 22 results in an accurate, addictive and engaging title on most fronts.

Road 96 is a very good game, with side characters that become the main characters. The way the story is told through a character who is a "spectator" but whose decisions influence the world and those around him is a wise move.

Flat Kingdom is a 2.5D platform and puzzle game. In this game you'll be able to change into 3 different shapes: triangle, circle and square.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the best LEGO game ever, and it's a love letter to the universe that George Lucas created many decades ago. With hundreds of hours ahead, you will enjoy playing solo, or with someone else.

GTA V on Xbox Series X gives very little reason for Xbox One players to upgrade (for a fee). A version that easily could have been free is left behind a paywall to justify technical improvements that fall short of the mark.

Long story short, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins feels like a game from two generations ago. Even if sometimes it could be perceived as a positive thing, it isn't when it means really poor graphics and an empty and bothersome story. Still, its combat system offers a fun and fresh experience, which will satisfy fans from the action genre. The question is if you'll be able to forgive its many, many flaws in favor of its fun gameplay.

Shredders is a game designed for snowboarding lovers, which includes good and fun mechanics to carry out the tests. Unfortunately, it falls short on everything else, causing you to lose interest very quickly.

The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature is a small piece of art with some great ideas, great art design and wonderful O.S.T. but sadly doesn't get to top quality for some minor issues. Script and story are also great, multiple endings and some unique ideas on the main character's development and the world around him. Overall could be a great game, if it wasn't for being too short, or some technical issues mostly solved by restarting checkpoint, and maybe a "third act" more accurate and built than it was. Nevertheless still a great point-and-click like game adapted to consoles.

Artistically superb, beautifully designed and overall well adapted to controller pads, Crusader Kings III delivers the PC experience to consoles in a very unique way. These kind of games on PC are relatively common from time to time, but on consoles this exotic genre is like a gem you can enjoy one time every decade -or even more-. These kind of games are not for everyone. Despite its magnificent possibilities and eternal endgame, it's very complex to learn how to play from start and you will spend several hours reading and playing tutorials or getting unlimited hints in order to actually get some small improvements on your walkthrough. Surprisingly no option for keyboard and mouse, despite the fact that many games are already including this compatibility option without any issues.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a great first attempt of Gearbox Software on making spin-offs about the Borderlands franchise. With marvellous gameplay, an excellent cast of characters and an original fantasy world, it's many flaws makes the experience less original.

Tunic is one of the biggest surprises this year will offer, with a beautiful world to explore, a perfect soundtrack and a gameplay that, with its flaws, will give tons of hours of enjoying.

If I have to say something about Elex II is that this is a particular game. If you were a fan of the initial game, you will like this one. But if you didn't play it, you might have a less than satisfying experience. The idea of a minimalist hud, an open world that you have to explore to discover its secrets, difficulty in combat, is striking. But there are many things that are not satisfactory, the main one being the combat. Elex II does not manage to get out of that feeling that you are playing a retro game, having been released in 2022.

Assetto Corsa Competizione hides, behind a theme that may seem unattractive, one of the best driving experiences available on console. The next-gen improvements are led by that 60fps performance, new content for more races, and visual improvements that doesn't feels of the next-gen feel. It doesn't matter for those who are looking for a real racing experience. In this moment, Assetto Corsa Competizione is the best racing experience you can find in consoles.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the best expansion Bungie has ever made, thanks to an interesting story, a great villain and a beautiful new zone to explore. Even with some low points, like the poor number of new activities, it's a must to have for every Destiny fan.

GRID Legends repeats with an exciting arcade driving game. For those who played the last game of this franchise, they will find a similar game. Codemaster recover this racing game focuses on the basics, and that is barebones racing. With some new challenges, the most relevant could be the narrative experience that they included in the same way that they include in F1 2021.

CDPR with Cyberpunk 2077 is to create an almost unique immersive feeling where you can experience in first person Night City. With the next-gen patch, many of the countless game-breaking bugs have disappeared. But not all of them. The experience still has important flaws. Besides, it still doesn't have a decent police search system. All in all, this is undoubtedly the best version of the game, and everything good it did at launch is now much better. Adding that it finally feels like the ARPG it should have been at launch.

Elden Ring is a real milestone for its developers and one of the best titles we've played in the last few years. The way it mixes the gameplay from Dark Souls with a highly refined exploration offers a really fresh take on the saturated open world market. Despite some notable technical issues, they don't put a stain in the great taste of what promises to be one of the games that leaves a mark on a whole genre, and maybe, the best game From Software has ever developed.

At the end of a trip it is normal to wonder if it was worth it or not. The answer is yes, with a more than adequate duration so that it doesn't become repetitive, an entertaining game dynamic and the whole sea world to think about yourself, FAR: Changing Tides is an easily recommended adventure for any type of player.

Dying Light 2 is the playable evolution any fan of the first installment would expect. However, Techland fails in the narrative and in the execution of many of its ideas. It also has many technical problems.

Rainbow Six Extraction surprised us with a surprising co-op PvE shooter that has a tactical twist, as well as a very satisfying and addictive mission and progression structure. It's also an excellent and more relaxed way to access later Rainbow Six Siege.

The Pagan: Control DLC is another sign that Ubisoft wants to keep the fans of the series happy, or at least those who were captivated by the story and the antagonist in the past.

Tormented Souls takes us back to classic survival horror. However its playable issues prevent it of becoming an enjoyable and perfect horror experience.

At 4.5 hours long, this game becomes so satisfying to play that you are left wanting a little more. The way it explores the weight of choice and consequences becomes quite incredible. Lacuna is a refreshing and absorbing experience that wisely uses its proposals to develop a story at the same time.

Chorus is one of the best space shooter today. A fun, attractive game that amazes you just by seeing and entering its world, but which falls short due to its repetitive missions and lack of additional elements.

Strategy, fighting, war, science fiction elements and deep storytelling brings us Iron Harvest, an RTS inspired by the 1920+ alternative universe by Polish artist Jakub Różalski.

Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition is a fantastic platform game with a lot of originality. This enhanced version of the game has fixed many of the problems with which the game was originally released in April. The overall result is a challenging, fun game full of dark humor that is quite satisfying. If you like platform games, this one should surely be among your interests.

Asterix & Obélix Slap Them All! It stays at half throttle and does not get what it is looking for.

Halo Infinite is the best game from 343 Industries, and probably the best game of the Master Chief: an epic journey, full of emotion, joy, and, of course, a marvelous soundtrack that make us connect with our beloved Master Chief and his new companions. Everyone who loves Halo, must play Halo Infinite.

Battlefield 2042 is a good game, capable of offering a fantastic war experience. Despite having great successes, it also has some flaws that tarnish the final result. However, with some adjustments, DICE's game could once again achieve the success of the classic games.

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance brings the biggest addition of varied and quality content that this title has received since its first expansion. It gives us lots of more hours of content and it is as good entry point as any other for new players, however, if you have already given this roguelike a shot in the past and you didn't like its premise, this expansion will hardly change your opinion on it.

Farming Simulator 22 has improved compared to previous releases. From small things like driving, which is still not perfect, to the physics that have to do with weight, terrain, and the type of machinery. There is also, of course, the new game mechanics that enrich the experience making it deeper. Its problems lie in how difficult it can be for a new player to understand what to do in the game, as well as how un-rewarding the game will be with your effort, are things that can discourage players and make them simply stop playing.

GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition brings all the fun of the classic games of the series that has always seen its career rise. However, it shows a hard fall with this remaster due to a lack of work in its execution.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 turns our classic theme park into a huge dinosaur sanctuary. But a wilder, more detailed, more demanding and, in short, more spectacular one.

Unpacking is one of the best games of the year due to its brilliant idea: telling a person's life through their moves. Perfect in playability and sound, the story of Unpacking deserves to be lived.

Extreme sports, massive multiplayer tests and a huge open world, full of adrenaline-pumping and exciting activities, you will find in a game that explores fresh and fun ideas, without more.

The remastered version of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water offers improved visual effects, additional costumes and a new photo mode that is quite deep. The problem is that in everything else the game fails. Although its initial premise is very intriguing, the game fails to develop its plot at a good pace. There is too much repetition in many of its main mechanics. All in all, the fact that the franchise has returned to Xbox after fifteen years is a merit.

Forza Horizon 5 is the leap to the new generation of Xbox. Playground Games has been able to improve an almost unbeatable experience, with an exquisite localization and gameplay, which manages to offer a level of immersion rarely seen before in the open world driving genre.

House of Ashes is the best game of The Dark Pictures Anthology due to its interesting history and its excellent artistic and design section, all this despite some problems that are already a constant in the saga.

Tony and Clyde is a game that I would hardly recommend due to its flaws and the unattractiveness of the proposal. With a fairly high difficulty that leads the player to repeat the same scenario over and over again and an AI that goes from point A to point B eliminating everything in its path as if it were a Terminator.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - The Hinokomi Chronicles is the best way to relive the adventure of Tanjirō Kamado, with a fun gameplay system and a spectacular visual finish, which will be a real must-have for anime fans.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy offers an excellent linear single player experience. With a great artistic design, a fun combat system and an outstanding script, this new title by Eidos Montreal will greatly satisfy any fan of narrative-focused games. Yes, some aspects like its animations are not up to par, but it doesn't impact its final result. We had a huge smile all the way through this fun game, enjoying its dialogues, its combat and sinking in its marvelous setting. And that's the most important thing to us.

Back 4 Blood is a great successor to Left 4 Dead. Although it has some flaws, the title offers a fantastic experience when playing it with friends, which added to the mastery with which the progression system has been set up, make the title an absolute must for those who like the genre.

Crysis Trilogy Remastered is the perfect opportunity to go through these 3 Crytek iconic games that, thanks to a very well done work with the remasters, we can save Earth as Nomad and Prophet, controlling our own nanosuits, and fighting against an alien army.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a platform fighting game that offers fun and good times with friends. Evaluated from this perspective, the game delivers, and if that's what you're looking for, you won't regret it. However, this game could have been much better, especially in details, fluidity and content. If you are able to look past its disappointing visuals, or its unoriginal soundtrack, this game might have something interesting to give you.

Sable is a beautiful game, with an astonishing soundtrack and artistic vision, that show us the journey of self-discovery of our young protagonist through an exotic planet, full of sand, mountains and spaceships.

UnMetal brings us back the stealth and action of the 80s in a good way, with a funny, long story, full of humor and with a magnificent sound section. Without a doubt, it is a game that I recommend to every lover of the genre.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut comes to Xbox in the best possible way: with its memorable story, its magnificent characters and a great console adaptation.

Wavelengths introduces an introspective story filled with optimism and hope. A great way to go deeper into the Steph character and that perfectly connects with True Colors.

Hot Wheels: Unleashed is a simple yet demanding arcade game. However, its main attraction lies in the incredible care for the toy brand, both for the cars and their tracks, with a really complete editor.

Far Cry 6 is a great representative of the formula that Ubisoft has been refining. The modifications introduced, such as the elimination of the skill tree, have suited the game quite well. The story in this installment, the villain, the allies, every element that contributes to the narrative are something remarkable. Plus the setting looks exceptionally good. However, it's still not a next-gen experience. The main flaw the game has is in the AI of the enemies which makes them often easy to defeat.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is undoubtedly a great way to celebrate the two decades of existence of the franchise, offering such a complete experience that you can get tired of playing its levels and not finish it. This is perhaps its main flaw, that it's not a game that renews itself or changes its mechanics. If you are definitely not attracted to its premise from the start, this may not be the game for you. Its mini-games are great fun to play in meetings with friends.

Alan Wake Remastered is one of the most essential games this year. More than ten years since the original launch, Remedy's best game provides a mysterious and terrifying story, a dynamic gameplay that use the light as a weapon and the perfect environment that is Bright Falls. Plus, the magnificent work of remastering such an excellent game give us hope for a sequel that, maybe, arrives in a few years.

Bus Simulator 2021 is a game that invites us to travel, relax and enjoy the life of a driver at all times. Just buckle up, put your foot on the gas and conquer the routes with a wide variety of buses.

Nexomon brings us the first part of this saga for the first time to consoles, in which we can participate in challenging combats thanks to its tight gameplay, which engages from the beginning of the game. With a good technical section and an interesting story.

Diablo II Resurrected brings a new breath of life to the 2000 classic with a new graphic layer of the best quality, and some minor touches to its gameplay that makes it more comfortable to play, while remaining true to its roots. And what's more important, its great arrival to consoles has made the title more accessible than ever. Vicarious Visions has proven again that they are one of the best studios at the time to remaster these classics, and we hope that they can achieve to stay afloat on the downward spiral that is isolating Activision-Blizzard lately.

Song of Iron is a game that has bet everything on its visual section, and although it is true that the result here is outstanding, it is not enough to support a game that is far from being enjoyable in its gameplay experience.

Lost in Random is a unique mix between a card game and an action/adventure game. The development of the universe and the plot takes a little while to get started, but once you meet Par and his unexpected companions, you start to fall in love with his story in this strange world of Burtonian style. And we can not forget the humor that shines constantly, and the visual and sound section that does not disappoint. Its main problem is that the AI is not very challenging, and it lacks more variety in the cards.

Chernobylite isn't a perfect game. Its story might not be everybody's cup of tea and can result a bit chaotic. Its gameplay relies heavily in if you enjoy exploring repeatedly its maps, surviving and gathering resources. If that's the case, there's no doubt that this title can offer you an original gameplay loop, with the posibility of hooking you through hours and hours. It is more worrisome, however, the numerous crashes that we have experienced in Xbox Series X, and which we sadly had to have in mind when deciding this title's final score.

FIFA 22 is a further leap towards realism in soccer titles. The inclusion of Hypermotion not only improves the staging of the game, but also translates to the field. In addition, improvements in ball physics and additions to the different game modes make FIFA 22 a more satisfying game than the previous title in the series.

NBA 2K22 improves gameplay and makes it more challenging when attacking, but makes defending more fun and fair. The additions in MyCareer mode are surprising at first, but then become a bit of a drag.

Lost Judgment is a perfect sequel that improves and expands on everything the first part had. Next-gen graphics, along with flawless performance, act as the pillars of a thrilling story that dares everything, as well as fast-paced and fun gameplay.

BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites allows us to recall the classic game launched 10 years ago, totally renewed, updating its visual and sound aspect. Offering a more polished gameplay than the original but at the same time maintaining the same level of challenge.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is the cooperative game that every fan of the franchise will want to play. The setting and the confrontation against the Aliens make it a very enjoyable experience for fans of Ridley Scott's work.

Surgeon Simulator 2 expands and improves the experience of the original, bringing us a game loaded with content and fun for one and several players, with a correct graphic appearance and somewhat long loading times.

Rustler is a fun sandbox that manages to be a reference of the first GTA, the truth is that the experience can be marred by some shortcomings. The first is its simplistic mechanics design, which works at first but wears out quickly, its humor that does not get to be so satisfying.

Aragami 2 is a good stealth action game that evolves what was seen in its first part, improving character control and expanding online multiplayer, but that lacks in the narrative and in the mission system, becoming monotonous and repetitive.

Sonic Colors Ultimate is a game that everyone will enjoy, and it is without a doubt the best version of the game since its release. I believe that with this game you will have a full experience tailored to what you want to delve into. However, it's a shame that not all parts of the game have been treated with the same care in this remaster.
