    Greak: Memories of Azur is an interesting metroidvania. It achieves unique gameplay by allowing you to control multiple characters simultaneously to solve puzzles or fight enemies. In addition, graphics and audio stand out among other indie titles.

    Crisol: Theater of Idols delivers a survival experience that feels unique while still borrowing from other titles in the genre. However, thanks to its distinctive mechanics and a truly well crafted art direction, it stands out as a very entertaining odyssey with a distinctly Spanish flair.

    Strikers is far from being only a Dynasty Warriors game with a Persona skin. Besides being a pleasant surprise that will exceed its followers expectations, we could be facing the game that will lay the foundations for the next battle system, in order for Persona 6 to steal our hearts again.

    EA made an excellent decision by removing Volta and introducing the Rush mode in EA Sports FC 25. This mode offers a more dynamic and solid experience that everyone will enjoy. On the other hand, the reality is that while the other improvements are promising, more is needed to claim that this is the definitive installment. This franchise urgently needs real competition to motivate further enhancements.

    SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium on Nintendo Switch is an option that feeds the nostalgia of many gamers, especially since it does not have noticeable adjustments nor changes and the experience remains intact. Now, the price is quite reasonable and if you like this series of crossovers, it is a must-have.

    High on Life offers an irreverent, messy story with lots of dialogue and profanity everywhere. It is a tribute to games like Halo or Doom, but without being pretentious. It's what you expect from a title involving Justin Roiland. Beyond that, we have a simple shooter with solid game mechanics worth praisable. It is what Xbox needed a long time ago.

    Endless Ocean Luminous takes you deep into the sea to encounter various species and make you feel like a qualified researcher. Learning basic and valuable facts about different species and leveling up is fantastic, but the gameplay experience can be repetitive. Endless Ocean Luminous isn't a title for every user. You have to enjoy science and the sea in general.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a great addition to the Tango Gameworks catalog. Its handling of Japanese mythology, main characters and side quests make exploring this haunted city something special to experience. However, the game had some monotonous combat and character movement that felt heavy and odd at the same time.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a magnificent addition to the film that Sam Raimi made. It lives up to the gore and satirical glory that earned decades of reputation for Raimi, and this title combines them in a survival game where you must be creative and smart to know how to finish each level.

    Pokemon Scarlet is that product that many fans requested, with a vast open world to explore, an adventure without ties, and an exploration full of surprises. The game achieves everything I just mentioned, and there is no doubt about that. The main issue is that the game makes a lot of technical sacrifices to achieve everything the fans asked for. The result is a title that performs poorly at times that may not matter but happens many times. The gameplay is entertaining, solid, and deep, but it's all wrapped up in a broken package.

    Monster Hunter Stories is an RPG that harkens back to the classic era of the genre but distinguishes itself with a unique combat system and many side activities.

    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.

    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.

    King of Meat arrives almost by surprise, delivering a highly entertaining title with a ridiculously fun premise and gameplay that appears simple at first glance but quickly reveals deeper complexity. Its variety of dungeons and rewards makes it ideal for repeated playthroughs, while the chaotic and unpredictable nature of its multiplayer renders it highly recommended for enjoyment with friends. Although it has areas for improvement, there is no doubt that it possesses potential that, hopefully, players will know how to leverage.

    Rise of the Ronin is quite an enjoyable samurai title thanks to the complex combat developed by Team Ninja, which provides ample room for experimentation.

    .hack// G.U. immerses us in what people used to think was an online game in the early 2000s. The game did not age well, but it's still a franchise worth experiencing, especially for isekai fans. Made up of an impeccable artistic and narrative section, the world and the dungeons feel empty.

    Detective Pikachu Returns is not only a game that has much charm thanks to the world where it takes place or because its protagonist has all the personality in the world.

    GRID Legends opted this time to innovate with a story mode that feels somewhat unnecessary.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is satisfying as an expansion, keeping the game mechanics and narrative in line with the base game, but it doesn't offer enough to consider it an outstanding DLC.

    Aether and Iron presents a dark-toned experience with metallic resonances, offering a lucid management system embodied by a lively and resolute protagonist. Set in the heart of a decopunk New York, layers of violence unfold, requiring the player to navigate them to complete each mission. Its mechanics, seemingly simple at first glance, flow with an almost contemplative rhythm, yet remain sufficiently immersive to sustain both the narrative dimension and encounters of notable solidity.

    Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a very special bundle that brings to life one of the most beloved games from the era of the first PlayStation. The problem here is that this is a title, like many others of the 32-bit generation, did not age very well. It has a lot of quality of life improvements, and though the characters look beautiful it feels old. Of course, reviving Radical Dreamers was the best decision Square Enix ever made.

    Octopath Traveler 0 reinvents the series with an exceptional combat system, memorable villains, and a deeply strategic structure.

    Capcom Fighting Collection is a valuable way to preserve arcade titles from the 90's.

    You can spend hours completing spell challenges, exploring dungeons, fighting enemies, and activating altars to upgrade your powers. But that fun is often held back by the story. Forspoken's pacing could be better. The game takes you away from what you want to do.

    Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. manages to survive the passage of time because it's a great game in terms of gameplay.

    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.

    FATAL FRAME II returns in a remake that preserves the atmospheric horror and unique identity of the original. With a slower, more intimate approach focused on exploration and lore, the game excels through its art direction and ambience, although it still carries clunky controls and inherited design limitations. Rather than competing with Silent Hill or Resident Evil, this new edition reaffirms that Fatal Frame remains a distinct, niche horror experience with a very strong identity.

    Outriders gives players that innovation that lately seems to be fading away from video games, at least on a mechanical level, since the narrative ends up being flat and unappealing. In its more than 25 hours of campaign you will experience moments that will put you to the test, and they are really worth living, but we must say that the post-game is not so interesting.

    Kona II: Brume's charm lies in its intense narrative. Its game mechanics follow the narrative of the game. However, it does fail to bring them together. Its exploration lacks dynamism, but the history will keep you playing until the end.

    The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is quite a jump in quality from other games in the franchise. The narrative development is attractive, the scenario is engaging, and the conclusions will give you goosebumps.

    Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a video game with gooey, overly saturated, yet charming environments. The brightness resonates strongly in the summery art that will take you to another world (in more ways than one). Although it may seem more of the same within the genre, the distinctly Japanese items (fish, food, plants, and animals) add a special touch. Its mechanics will keep you engaged for hours without you even realizing it. It's an excellent video game to forget about everything and simultaneously experience summer!

    Pikmin 1+2 works as a good gateway for new fans of this franchise, with strategic and addictive gameplay that has you returning for more. Unfortunately, Nintendo didn't take the opportunity to fix some of its original bugs, which can be frustrating.

    The Chant is a perfect survival horror title with an exciting premise. Despite its technical limitations, it manages to hook you with various enemies and has an entertaining history.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is a good narrative video game with simple mechanics that comes to Nintendo Switch with significant changes in its graphics. However, the great story, music, and design quality that the franchise has gotten us used to are still there.

    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.

    EA Sports NHL 26 delivers a rich, challenging, and deeply realistic experience. It stands as the premier ice hockey simulator available on the market. Yet it faces certain issues. The initial difficulty and the lack of learning tools may discourage new players, while microtransactions continue to cast a shadow over competitive modes.

    Under the Waves is a game with a strong story that keeps you hooked throughout its duration. Its objectives are varied to keep you active. Unfortunately, it has several technical glitches that negatively affect the gaming experience.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice excels where an arena fighter matters most: it delivers solid combat, chaotic triple-tag mechanics, and a massive roster of 68 distinct characters. However, the story mode presentation, the hub, and several side activities feel empty or low budget, with mostly cosmetic rewards and limited polish. It's ideal for versus focused fans, but uneven as a complete package.

    Chocobo GP is the game that results from combining the chaos of Final Fantasy with the karting of Mario Kart 8, a fun title for a party. If you are looking for a unique racing game, this is the one for you.

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a fantastic and fun return to the once acclaimed skating video game series. Despite some flaws in its visual department, the fun and engaging gameplay, paired with the Switch’s ability to be played in portable mode, makes it a must have title for anyone who is looking for a joyful experience, especially on long trips.

    I really enjoyed discovering new Pokémon, finding new secrets, uncovering a way to change the route a bit, and generally getting a great picture. Pokémon Snap is a very relaxing and enjoyable game. However, let's remember that it focuses on photographing nature, Pokémon in their natural habitat: this is why you may imagine totally organic routes and moments, but New Pokémon Snap strangely strives to be as robotic and repetitive as possible. Here is a winning formula at its base, just needs evolve a little.

    Macross Shooting Insight has a high difficulty that makes you want to replay it multiple times. It's like a lighter version of Ikaruga, where you can overcome every level without suffering too much. Its production values are not very high, but it's a nice touch that it features licensed songs from all the series. Yes, it's a game worth playing, but it also falls short in offering something more to an audience that doesn't consume anime.

    Triangle Strategy is a game that fans of tactical RPGs will love. Combat is very entertaining, and its visual art is worth seeing. We only wish they balanced the gameplay side a bit more with its narrative so we were not mere spectators of the story.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage takes elements from the modern and classic era of the franchise to give us an experience that works halfway. However, bland combat and a predictable story mean that it fails to stand alongside other much-loved installments and does not allow it to be the triumphant return many wanted.
