    Bayonetta 3 is an experience filled with a constant feeling of surprise, quality of life add-ons, dynamic and electrifying action and an epic story. Though it lacks visual refinement, the end result is a must-play for fans of the series. Although unfortunately there is still male gaze imprinted on the game, being a woman and playing with such powerful and fun characters such as Bayonetta, Viola and Jeanne is a huge joy.

    For those craving tactical and extremely realistic shooting games, Ready or Not is the best option currently available, whether you're a fan of single-player or multiplayer games.

    As a fan of science fiction, space, spaceships and so on, so far I'm very happy with the final result of Starfield, although there are points that could even be considered disappointments. However, the game really exploits Bethesda's mastery of creating all these different systems and it's clear to see the dedication and care that has gone into creating a new franchise for the company after so many The Elder Scrolls and Fallouts.

    Neva is a beautiful and emotional journey, with plenty of amazing levels and compelling characters. It's a story that makes you care from its first minute, using only sound and color..

    Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero shines as the return of Budokai Tenkaichi and didn't even need to invent so much, as it is strong enough in gameplay and cast.

    Phoenix Springs is, in its entirety, an artistic experience. You might not be certain of the artist's intention throughout the game, but you're sure to feel something in this point and click adventure. The Leo Dormer mystery is very difficult to crack open, and you will probably find yourself running in circles during some segments. Still, stunning visuals and an narrative that is kind of abstract definitely make up for it.

    Pikmin 4 isn’t only the definitive evolution of the formula created by Shigeru Miyamoto, but a surprisingly all-purpose game. Hardcore fans and new players alike will find something for them in this adventure. Above all, those akin to strategy games will easily be won over by this game.

    One Piece Odyssey offers a lot in the way of gameplay and exploration for those who want to enjoy it, but it also has a clear route for those who just want to finish the main mission and enjoy a new One Piece story. All the content is filled with dialogue worthy of an anime arc, the unreleased characters get respect, and the memories are extremely touching for those who have followed the gang's travels. However, Bandai's title falls short in offering a rich experience for those who are not already familiar with Oda's work.

    There's no shortage of reasons to praise Trek to Yomi. The aesthetics, the combat, the soundtrack, not-so-complex puzzles that come up in the second half of the game. We're talking about a fundamental title for fans of samurai stories, despite the fantastic elements.

    I believe that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a perfect game for the current era of modern AAA titles. It gets straight to the point, respects the player’s time, and offers the opportunity to dive deep into its different modes. Delivering a exciting and challenging gameplay, with the most beautiful graphics any Warhammer game has ever had, Space Marine 2 establishes itself as a must-play for fans of third-person shooters.

    Overall, the experience with Switch Sports is extremely positive and fulfills its role very well: meeting and having fun with friends and family - something that has really been missing up until now on Nintendo Switch after all its existence. And, despite having other games with the same purpose like Smash Bros., Mario Kart and Mario Party, none of them are equally accessible to people who aren't video game fans. That's why Nintendo Switch Sports is amazing and necessary nowadays.

    Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a bold statement by Capcom. Surfing a tide of recent great games, the company felt comfortable enough to experiment a little with a mix of tower defense and action games. The result is a beautiful, fun game, which is definitely difficult to explain to someone who hasn't played, but still satisfying and complex.

    Hellblade 2 embraces the cinematic experience and never looks back, which is sure to be polarizing. That approach makes room for a narrative-driven game, and, sometimes, it may seem like you're playing a cut-scene. Surely there will be fans that love this style, while others should feel disappointed with the lack of mechanical complexity.

    Grounded can easily be ranked as one of the best survival games in recent years. Even with its an uninteresting story, facing the breathtaking backyard world is delightful, especially because of its creativity and surprisingly frightening elements.

    Fire Emblem Engage puts combat front and center, rewarding old fans of the series with one of the most versatile unit progression systems in franchise history. Three Houses fans will be disappointed to find, however, that the story and characters are as generic as they can be.

    This remake is the definitive version of The Last of Us: prettier, better to play, technical features in a state-of-the-art, new extras, and it's completely true to the original. Apparently, Sony's plans are to try to reach a new audience that will seek out the game because of the TV series that premieres next year. But the $70 price tag of this re-release prevents me from recommending it to everyone.

    Having the feeling of watching a new episode of the anime or being immersed in pages of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga while controlling your favorite heroes and villains is priceless, and being rewarded with even more self-references is a delight. However, there is no appeal for those who don't already know the story and its characters, and it is impossible not to miss a modern, more refined online mode.

    F1 23 is another improvement over the previous game, with refined mechanics and new experiences that will please any racing fan. Not only that, but it makes it clear that upcoming games in the F1 franchise cannot be lacking in content that generates more engagement, hitting the nail on the head with F1 World and, most importantly, Braking Point 2. Any new F1 game that does not have these features will be considered a step backwards.

    Despite a disorienting control scheme and level difficulty that takes time to pick up, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon succeeds in being a memorable and adorable interactive storybook. The game also surprises by being a rare example of good representation of girlhood in gaming, offering a melancholy and deep origin story for Cereza that is reminiscent of Child of Light.

    Capcom deserves congratulations for Street Fighter 6, which addresses and resolves many of the issues found in previous editions and fulfills numerous requests from the community. This game appeals to a wide audience, catering to both casual fans and dedicated players who have invested years into the franchise. The new fighting system strikes a balance, offering accessibility while still providing depth for those seeking a challenge. The fast-paced gameplay, innovative Drive System, and diverse control options foster experimentation and generate excitement for both players and spectators. While not flawless, particularly in the new World Tour mode, it doesn't diminish the fact that Street Fighter 6 is undoubtedly one of the best entries in the series.

    Nobody needs to say, these days, how the original version of Resident Evil 4 changed the industry forever. It should also be obvious that Capcom's newest recreation doesn't repeat that feat, although it does make the whole experience feel more contemporary.

    GrimGrimoire OnceMore effectively rescues a beautiful and ambitious, albeit limited in scope game from the PS2 era to immortalize it on current platforms. Vanillaware's experiment in 2D RTS remains as charming as it was back in the day, but thrives with OnceMore's resolution bump.

    Black Ops 6 is the best a modern Call of Duty can offer. Maybe it's not revolutionary enough to become a cult classic, but that doesn't mean it's a great game to play.

    Gunbrella is a straightforward, short experience that's refreshing amidst so many games that aim to fill up months of our play time. Its combat might be a bit repetitive, but it's still always a pleasure due to how great it feels to wield the game's titular weapon.

    Ultros is one of biggest surprises I've had with a game recently. I expected a metroidvania with weird and psychodelic art, and it's definitely that. But more than that, the form in which it blossoms and reveals its true nature is so well executed that, despite a few bump, I won't stop thinking about it for some time.

    MainFrames is a good choice for those who want a simple and challenging game to kill time. The little over four hours of the campaign passed without weighing too much, and even though there are some clear points of improvement, lovers of the platform genre will certainly find themselves in the game.

    Mirage is a beautiful and competent throwback to Assassin's Creed's origins that unfortunately fails to leave its own mark in the series. Despite that, it's refreshing as a shorter adventure - one that proves that less can be more.

    Despite its lack of polish, indicating a need for further development time, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, particularly in regards to combat and platforming. It's difficult not to feel excited about what the future may hold for Star Wars games.
