    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
    There’s no doubt that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is the version newcomers to the saga should aim for to fully experience Aloy’s debut journey. This “refresh,” however—despite the question of whether a 2017 game truly needed it—focuses purely on technical enhancements, echoing the current video game industry’s fixation on lighting effects and photorealism, often at the expense of gameplay depth. The result is a visually stunning work, borrowing the technical assets from Horizon Forbidden West, yet turning a blind eye to the gameplay improvements introduced by its sequel. It retains certain gameplay choices and a clunky verticality that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild had rendered outdated upon Zero Dawn’s release in 2017, making these aspects feel particularly aged. This is, after all, just a remaster, so perhaps it’s acceptable as it stands. However, by dressing Zero Dawn in Forbidden West’s refined graphics, the game ends up serving as more of a reminder of the advancements its sequel brought to the series than as a true celebration of Zero Dawn itself. It’s a remaster with a fresh look, yet proudly—and stubbornly—remains the same at its core.

    A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead
    A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is both a faithful transposition and a valid first-person horror. The few variations on the theme throughout the adventure force the player into an extremely compassed pace and a really high dose of patience, so it would have served the game better to have been able to have many more contrivances within it than have been seen in the films.

    Life is Strange: Double Exposure
    Life is Strange: Double Exposure starts as a compelling mystery and grows into a poignant story about social bonds and trauma, but its awful ending weakens the series' identity, casting doubt on Deck Nine's choices.

    Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven
    Xeen and Square Enix, in stark contrast with what the original development team did 31 years ago, played it very safe, with a remake that changes nothing in terms of gameplay, even where some corrections where badly needed. Therefore, this is nothing more than a modernized version of a good JRPG

    Nikoderiko: The Magical World
    Nikoderiko: The Magical World is everything that nostalgic fans of old platformers need to dive back into the memories of yesteryear. It may not be among the most original games of the past decade, given the many similarities to Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong, but the care with which the work was created allows it to stand at more than decent levels of harmonious enjoyment.

    Europa
    Europa is an adventure game set in stunning, Studio Ghibli-inspired landscapes, with a heartfelt narrative and a soundtrack that enhances every moment of discovery. The gameplay is designed to be relaxing, centered around the Zephyr—a unique jetpack that lets players gracefully glide through the air, soaring ever higher. In just three to four hours, Europa weaves a poignant story, guiding players on a journey to uncover a long-lost past.

    Sonic x Shadow Generations
    All in all, Sonic x Shadow Generations has definitely exceeded our expectations. The second adventure dedicated to Shadow, which initially seemed like just a DLC, turns out to be something much more substantial, both in terms of length and concept, combining the best of the boost era with ideas taken from Sonic's new direction. While the game lacks the surprise factor it had in 2011, we're still talking about a new 3D Sonic chapter that's incredibly fun to play. Which is no small feat, as the history of this character has shown us.

    Unknown 9: Awakening
    The concept of a transmedia project, with Unknown 9: Awakening serving as an ideal entry point for new users, was intriguing. However, the video game ultimately falls short due to numerous issues. While the story provides a foundation for understanding the broader world of Unknown 9, its lack of creative flair and uninteresting characters do little to entice players to explore the rest of the narrative universe. Additionally, the gameplay structure is overly basic, plagued by various technical problems, and features a stealth component that feels all too familiar. The combat system also shows multiple flaws, saved only slightly by the enjoyable use of powers, especially in the later stages—though these powers end up breaking the game, making it too easy. Overall, the launch of this new multimedia project is off to a less than stellar start.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree

    Neva
    Neva is Nomada studio's new gem that chronicles the stages of life as the world decays around you. It does not reach the heights of drama of GRIS, but it surpasses it in complexity of game systems, setting itself as a step forward for the Spanish studio, which has found its way and knows how to stamp its trademark.

    Ys X: Nordics
    Ys X Nordics is an intuitive and refreshing action JRPG (more action than RPG, to tell the truth) that captures the spirit of the old episodes of the franchise and gives the player a lot of room to explore, loot and fight across the islands of the Obelia Gulf. Not the prettiest PS5 title to date, but certainly a funny and intuitive one.

    Iron Meat
    Iron Meat is a game that draws inspiration from the great classics of the run-and-gun genre, offering a version as faithful as possible to its predecessors. However, it adds modern touches to make it more accessible to today’s players. Fast-paced, brutal, and featuring well-crafted pixel art, this title is sure to please fans of the genre. The only major drawback is the lack of content to keep players engaged once the main campaign is over, as there are no extras included.

    Until Dawn
    Until Dawn is a remake that does not improve on the original work and does not modernize the game in any way. The only bright spot is the switch to Unreal Engine 5, but the game structure remains old and looks unsuitable for modern audience.

    Undisputed
    Undisputed is a truly excellent and comprehensive title, although it can still improve. We have a boxing game that strives for realism in every punch and movement. Defensive techniques, punches, footwork: everything aims to be perfect. The sweat on the back, the blood from the nose, the swollen eyes, every detail is really there. The game offers a truly well-crafted, beautiful, and precise realism. It's a shame that some content is missing, like the ability to actually perform training sessions, which would have added something extra to the game. However, we expect great things for the future of the series.

    Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
    Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is, without a doubt, the ultimate game for any Dragon Ball fan. The combat system not only builds on the classic PS2 games but enhances them significantly, making each battle feel as close as possible to the epic confrontations seen in the original anime and manga. The game modes are impressive as well; the story mode, in particular, holds some delightful surprises, while the Custom Battle mode promises plenty of replay value—just to name a few highlights from the single-player content. Add to this an immense character roster and numerous little touches that fans will appreciate. Of course, there are some flaws, especially in terms of character balancing, but if you’re a devoted Dragon Ball fan, rest assured—this game was made with you in mind.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio
    Metaphor: ReFantazio is a bold new IP from Studio Zero and Atlus, and one of the best at that. Familiar yet innovative, mature but not without moments of levity, with a slew of very functional new systems, this is one of the best JRPGS of the last years and surely GOTY material for this one.

    Bloodless
    Bloodless mixes some of the combat mechanics inspired by Sekiro, with a strong emphasis on dodges, precision movements and countermoves. Not everything works perfectly, the pacing is a bit slow at times and there is a feeling that the whole adventure is a bit too drawn out.

    Silent Hill 2
    Konami and Bloober Team revive an invaluable piece of video game history. One of the best games of all time returns with the deflagrating power we remember so well, showing even modern audiences why it still remains the boldest and darkest psychological horror ever seen in the video game industry.

    REYNATIS
    We played Reynatis so you don't have to. Sometimes too much ambition can lead to a wide gap between on-paper ideas and the actual creation and production processes, and this is very well the case. A convoluted story, a lot of technical issues and boring and repetitive gameplay don't do justice to the great soundtrack.

    Animal Well
    Animal Well is a little dream: an original metroidvania with unique mechanics that describes a world you will rarely forget. Its gameplay structure and puzzles undoubtedly make it one of the best in its genre, a must-play that you need to experience and make your own.

    EA Sports FC 25
    EA Sports FC 25 continues along the same path as its predecessor, but with a slightly faster and more decisive pace. The new focus on tactics could be the first step toward a more ambitious vision for the future of the series. Overall, this installment proves to be content-rich, relying on the usual winning features while introducing a new 5v5 mode that adds just the right touch to enhance the overall package.

    Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
    Ace Attorney Investigations Collection finally allows Western players to access the entire Ace Attorney saga, including Ace Attorney Investigations 2, the last spin-off that had remained unreleased in our region, at least through official channels. And that's a great thing, as it is one of the best-written chapters in the entire series. The only flaw in this collection, if we want to nitpick, is the lack of any noteworthy new content to enhance it compared to the original releases. However, considering that we're talking about a very niche series—one that, until recently, many thought we would never see again in the West—it would have been hard to ask for more from Capcom. We'll see if, now that the entire series has been released on modern platforms, Capcom decides to continue it in some form, especially given that the last original episode dates back to 2016.

    God of War: Ragnarok
    God of War: Ragnarok on PC is yet another confirmation that expertly crafted ports are still possible, despite everything. Stunning graphics (though you’ll need a good PC to handle all that visual splendor), gameplay as sharp as Kratos’ blades, and a gripping narrative that won’t let you go. Sure, there was the risk of relying on past success and resting on its laurels. It doesn’t revolutionize, nor does it need to: it perfects what already worked on the PlayStation platform, with a confidence that few titles manage to maintain. And that’s perfectly fine.

    Ara: History Untold
    Ara: History Untold was supposed to be the game that, after nearly eight years, could make us forget Civilization VI. However, it seems that once again, we'll have to wait for the seventh installment to lose ourselves, one turn at a time. The title, developed by Oxide Games, looks very promising. It has a visually striking graphical style and some interesting flashes of brilliance. However, it’s a strategy game whose core focus is hard to grasp, and it falls victim to overwhelming micromanagement that permeates every turn. This has drawn attention away from areas that needed more care, such as diplomacy, technology, and those essential late-game variations.

    The Plucky Squire
    It was said that the Fearless Squire would be a hero remembered for generations to come, and in a way, so it has proven. The bravery of Jot is the kind found in those rare games that dare to be bold and original, standing out in a vast sea of creations content merely to drift, avoiding the depths by surrendering to the currents. The playful tenderness of this unlikely hero, though it may not always fulfill its lofty ambitions in the realm of play, still shines through in a journey that uplifts not only those who join Jot in the quest to topple the wicked Humpgrump, but the very essence of the game itself. And if this be not a heroic feat worthy of legend, dear children, then what, pray tell, could be?

    Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
    Disney’s Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a solid revitalization of a work with grand ambitions, perhaps weighed down by the high expectations surrounding its creator. While it remains a good game, straddling the line between platformer and action-adventure, the overall quality feels somewhat inconsistent. The remaster smooths out some of the game’s more notorious rough edges and improves certain aspects of gameplay, but it can’t fully overturn the fate of a title that needed to do much more to leave a lasting impression.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions didn’t completely win us over. On one hand, it’s simple and fun to play, but on the other, this same accessibility proves to be a double-edged sword, as boredom sets in rather quickly. It doesn’t help that the game launches with limited content, which makes it even easier to get tired of Quidditch matches sooner than expected. As with all online games, much will depend on how the publisher manages it in the coming months: we’ll see if they allow Unbroken Studios to keep working on and improving the game as planned.

    Frostpunk 2
    Frostpunk 2 puts its gameplay at the service of storytelling and, through relatively simple game mechanics, manages to make the player experience strong emotions and a constant moral dilemma. From a gameplay perspective, it is a fairly straightforward city builder, but the political and social dynamics are where the essence of the game created by 11 Bit Studios truly lies. Frostpunk 2 dismantles any notion of social utopia and shows how humans are inherently irrational beings, ready to self-destruct. The limitations imposed on the player’s decision-making power work perfectly within this framework, forcing the player to make difficult and uncomfortable decisions, offering a much more satisfying and refined level of strategy compared to traditional management games.
