    Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra does not reinvent the wheel. Instead, incorporates all the engaging elements of other MOBAs on the market and delivers a highly entertaining experience with substantial challenge. It is not League of Legends with skins of Akira Toriyama's characters. It is a video game that provides all the necessary elements to offer enjoyable matches for every fan of this franchise.

    Beyond its superficial presentation, Stellar Blade offers very entertaining and challenging combat mechanics. The progression is a feature that will keep you very busy looking for the best skills Eve can have. In terms of story, Stellar Blade needs more argument, as its plot does not delve deeply into or empower its characters. Overall, it is a good gaming experience that could have been better. It is like the student from whom you expected a perfect grade but who ended up with a good mark and nothing more.

    Black Myth: Wukong is not just a game, it is a unique adventure that you won't soon forget. With a silent hero whose actions speak volumes, the journey to enlightenment is rewarding, thrilling, and entertaining. The strength of this game lies in its genuinely outstanding boss battles, each one a unique and challenging experience. While the journey to those moments might not be the smoothest, the experience is well worth it. This is a game that promises to be an unforgettable adventure in 2024 and beyond.

    Regarding graphics and sound, Hellblade 2 is the most visually appealing game that Xbox Series X can have. Its presentation looks impressive, and every sound feels very special while you're playing. But what about the gameplay? Hellblade 2 is an experience with a very intense narrative. It's a journey of no return where you face all kinds of absorbing and grudging challenges. Ninja Theory made a remarkable game.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is not just a fun game that combines an unbridled and spectacular combat system with the strategic elements of Fire Emblem. It is a great starting point for the curious who want to get to know this Nintendo franchise and are afraid of how complicated it can be. Although the game's performance is not that stable, the gaming experience is solid and shows that the Nintendo Switch console still has a lot to offer.

    Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a pleasant surprise that Bayonetta fans will enjoy. Its game mechanics are entertaining and fresh, and the witch of Umbra origin story is charming and emotional. Cereza's voice acting is outstanding.

    Now that Fantasian Neo Dimension has escaped the grasp of Apple Arcade, more people will be able to experience another delightful adventure from Hironobu Sakaguchi's studio, which continues to prove that what made JRPGs famous in the '90s still works. Not only does it deliver an efficient gameplay experience for the player, but it also presents a story with which one can empathize, keeping you engaged until the very end to achieve the satisfaction of finishing a game that is quite challenging.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has several strengths, such as an interesting story, a living world that invites you to get lost in it for hours, and an impressive visual presentation. However, it is also filled with numerous technical issues that genuinely undermine its achievements. Still, if you have enough patience, you may find a very entertaining game worth dedicating many hours to.

    Sonic X Shadow Generations is a great time. The remaster is exactly as you'd expect and the new game on top of it is better, more polished, varied, and refined. It's almost converted me to a 3D Sonic guy, which is shocking, and, because it's about Shadow instead of Sonic, you don't have to put up with anywhere near as many obnoxious voice performances. Shadow himself is just a bit broody and says things like "the ultimate power" in an almost-Keanu Reeves voice which really makes me laugh – especially with the Keanu voice pack coming in December for some top tier silliness.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun game, very well-planned, with great narrative and strong ambitions to entertain the player. Star-Lord's interaction with the Milano crew and the rest of the characters is magical. Combat and physics can be problematic, but the errors don't overshadow the positives. Even the Latin American dubbing is a delight that you are sure to enjoy.

    Gundam Breaker 4 is more than just another game based on an anime franchise. It caters to Gunpla modeling enthusiasts and those who might no longer have space for model kit boxes.

    Fourteen years ago, The World Ends With You stood out for its great art direction, original battle system and a great and unexpected story.

    Scott Pilgrim EX embraces an experience that feels familiar while simultaneously striving to justify itself as a sequel with its own identity. Its blend of beat em up mechanics with metroidvania elements, a diverse cast of playable characters, and multiplayer features inject freshness, although its disjointed narrative diminishes overall impact. Even so, the franchise's unmistakable charm, its constant references, and Anamanaguchi's soundtrack make it a solid offering for fans seeking more of Scott Pilgrim.

    The difference between Capcom Arcade Stadium and other compilations that Capcom published in the past lies mainly in the quality of their presentation and the variety of options available to make the experience optimal for each user.

    The arrival of Persona 3 Reload on the Nintendo Switch 2 feels more like a compromise than a carefully handled release.

    Mario Party Superstars won't offer fans from the 20-year-old franchise anything new and making matters worse: there are important mini-games that were neglected. Only 100 mini-games are not enough, especially when Nintendo had already done this four years ago on the 3DS. However, thanks to its replay value and nostalgia, this game is worth it if you play with friends a lot, but as it happens with this kind of games, you probably won't be friends anymore once the match is over.

    Little Nightmares 2 took the best elements of its predecessor, like the tense setting and art direction. In addition, it also improved the frustrating controls the original had, and finally, it gave fans what they wanted the most: a detail-filled narrative that is ready to be minced and interpreted from various standpoints, for years to come. Introducing a forced co-op with the machine and "combat" sounds controversial for a horror franchise that worked so well without it, but surprisingly, these new mechanics made it feel like an evolution from the original formula.

Pokémon Snap is a very relaxing and enjoyable game.

The musical selection is quite decent and the unlockables will give you dozens of hours of play. You're not going to become a taiko pro, but you're going to have fun trying.

    Elden Ring Nightreign is a curious experiment that will attract fans of the FromSoftware saga. While it can be fun, it can also quickly become repetitive by removing the exploration and experimentation that were previously found in load-outs. How much time you decide to spend in Limveld will be closely tied to how much of a fan you are of these games and whether you're willing to face the same challenges over and over again.

    Starfield offers a solid opportunity for PS5 users to finally experience Bethesda's space adventure. While it still suffers from various technical issues and frequent loading screens, it remains a strong title that is well worth playing.

    Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium has a perfect curation of classic arcade games. It's almost impossible to find one that's mediocre or boring. Technically, this installment far exceeded the previous one. While the customization values haven't improved, they're functional enough to enjoy the experience in more than one mode. It's worth giving it a try for more than just the nostalgia factor.

    Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is a pretty fun title that becomes challenging if you aim to complete it 100%, and it's best enjoyed when playing with friends. However, it offers nothing groundbreaking that would make it a must-play title. It's simply a game for straightforward fun without frills or pretensions.

    Without a doubt, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD can be considered one of the best platformers of the early 21st century. Its gameplay mechanics endure, its music is outstanding, and the challenge is satisfying. There's no doubt about it. We can debate the reason for its existence as part of the 'we don't know what to remaster anymore' movement, but this is an excellent title that can return as many times as it wants and continue to amaze us.

    The main problem with Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is that beyond solving puzzles or catching ghosts, the way we control Luigi and his vacuum cleaner feels stuck in a handheld console rather than taking advantage of the benefits of the Nintendo Switch, which has more buttons. This isn't the game that forever changed the franchise, but at least it served to keep it alive in the minds of players for longer.

    Humankind is an entertaining game, but very challenging to tackle for those who are not used to play strategy games. From the beginning, it assails you with information, and you have to pay close attention to everything to learn quickly. Nevertheless, if you are interested in the genre, it is worth your time.

    After years of frustration with the direction of the annual FIFA releases, EA Sports FC 26 delivers a fresh approach that genuinely feels like a change. The separation between competitive and authentic gameplay represents one of the smartest decisions EA has made within the franchise. For fans of Career Mode, this game constitutes a must buy from day one, especially if you enjoy long seasons, tactical adjustments, and realistic simulation.

    Bandai Namco presents one of the most acclaimed niche RPGs on a console that favors this genre. Although the performance and quality of life improvements could have been better, the game stands out as a title that stands out for its unique combat, narrative, and music that will impact more than one player and that no fan of RPGs should be left out.

    One Piece Odyssey is a passion-filled installment of the story of Monkey D. Luffy. Even though these games are usually a recap or summary of events, this one goes beyond. It rescues the original tale but adapts it to a new video game, taking advantage of more recent platforms. Odyssey is entertaining, fresh, and charismatic.

    The arrival of Yakuza Kiwami on the Switch gives hope that we will see more games from the series on this and future Nintendo consoles. At its core, it is an excellent and entertaining game, albeit sometimes repetitive. However, its remarkable narrative makes it an experience that will bring tears even to the coldest person. Through Kazuma Kiryu, you come to understand that honor still exists among men. At least among those who appear in video games.

    Hell is Us delivers a distinctly unique experience through its approach to story and exploration, which does not guide the player at all and instead relies entirely on their intelligence and creativity to progress through the protagonist's odyssey. Its combat offers complexity, challenge, and enjoyment, enhanced by experimentation with various weapons. Only its suboptimal performance with extensive pop in, texture issues, and frame drops prevents it from reaching greatness.

    Tales of Berseria Remastered brings back its dark tale of revenge, featuring Velvet as a memorable antiheroine, a diverse cast, and a flexible combat system that rewards experimentation. Ufotable's animated scenes and the character skits elevate the narrative, though the pacing suffers from backtracking and simplistic map design. The remaster improves quality of life features, but the graphical upgrade remains minimal. Even so, it stands as the best way to experience the game today.

    Yooka Replaylee provides the definitive way to experience this spiritual successor, thanks to highly welcomed changes in gameplay and a graphical presentation that further enhances its colorful levels. However, it still retains certain issues from the original, such as a camera that occasionally hinders play, a limited number of levels, and a sense of prolongation due to its extensive array of collectibles.

    Even when Scarlet Nexus fulfills its promise to deliver an entertaining combat system and the graphics are worthy of the Xbox Series X, the story lacks of sufficient basis to say it's good. The characters fall under the typical Japanese game cliché and is boring.

    Digimon Survive transports us to a world that many of us had left in our childhood. Its narrative has evolved to present the deconstruction of characters, taking them to the most extreme limits and with a darker touch. Fortunately for many, due to the great narrative focus, the game has a wide variety of languages including Neutral Spanish. However, the lack of combat, as well as the basics of each confrontation, create an amalgam that is not for all types of players.

    Road 96 is a must-have game for those who like good and touching stories. The game's characters and the randomness of its narrative invite you to experience it more than once. Although it may not be a game for everyone, especially those who might be looking for something with more action.
