Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are - up until now - the definitive versions of the series.

It's the DS's best, and it's for everyone.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS succeeds in everything it tries to do.

The meticulous and honest work on story, aesthetics, exploration and combat is accompanied by an impeccable pacing that is surprising given the amount of content available. Are there any issues?

Quoting Robin Williams in the most recent commercial of the game, Skyward Sword is the result of a project of 25 years and a clear confirmation that only the experience of a quarter of a century is able to turn a game into a legend.

Just like six years ago, Tears of the Kingdom presents new grounds in the gaming industry. It is no longer enough to be open: it is necessary to create everything.

We are simply looking at one of the best games of the decade, perhaps in history.

After more than 160 hours necessary to complete 100% of the game I can say that it is a gift for any fan of RPGs, being one of the most impressive games to have in the first year of a console.

Shu Takumi reasserts himself as an articulator of good storylines inserted into an innovative gameplay.

Okami Hd is the ultimate evolution of a classic.

The end result is impeccable, but even if it wasn’t Amaterasu’s adventure would be recommended regardless.

Ikaruga fills all the requirements: It has simple, yet deep, gameplay, it's addicting, challenging and has enough game modes to increase its longevity. I can't find a reason not to recommend it.

Kirby Return to Dreamland is a very competent port of a great Nintendo Wii title that marks the transition from the 2D style to the 2.5D pink dot. A great game, full of content for fans of the franchise and an excellent gateway for those who are just getting to know the little pink ball.

With an abundance of elements that make it uniquely related to the other games of the franchise, it also brings back the best in each entry, both in gameplay and in the roster of monsters. It is a must play for anyone who likes action games.

Metroid Dread is definitely the game that explores the full potential of the 2D franchise with praise, doing justice to the producers' proposal to bring fear and exploration to players, valuing and ending the saga in an excellent way, besides leaving that desire and hope that Samus Aran reward us with more titles with this level of quality in the future. Essential not just for fans of Metroid, but for everyone that likes quality games released in 2021.

The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants is a true artistic work and does not fail in any aspect of its proposal. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

In the end, a curious paradox remains: a game with a plot that is about time and does not care even a bit for it, because it's completely timeless.

World of Goo is a major opus. It's a charming and intelligent game, but, more than that, a mark to the genre (like Tetris decades ago), incorporating features which could not be thought before, like social critics and an atmosphere capable of leading emotion to the player, who not only plays, but observes.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U makes some of the biggest advances in the series and it's recommended for anyone who likes fighting games, Nintendo characters, multiplayer and just games in general.

Breath of the Wild breathes the fresh air that the series needed, and it's this renovated air that makes this game so phenomenal. It's that sense of freedom, of liberation, of emancipation that we want for our lives, to look at the clock and not feel tortured with routine. That's the feeling that Breath of the Wild brings to every gameplay. If you are a gamer (whatever company you cheer for), don't miss the opportunity to play this Legend of Zelda. Games like this don't pop up every day.

Shovel Knight Dig is different enough to step away from the franchise's original proposal and similar in the right measure to be a game that homages and lives up to its name. The result is an absolutely brilliant game.

Wind Waker HD is a must play game not just for Zelda fans, but for every gamer.

Different from the American distributor, Taito knows how to raise the value of its WiiWae titles: knowing the original NES version may be bought by 500 Nintendo Points, they have launches Plus! with double stages, multiplayer, new items, enemies and songs, besides the better graphs, chart of points and a collectible catalogue for only 100 additional points.

In the end, everything comes down to the incredible level design and the pure joy of playing. Super Mario 3D World makes 3D Land seem like a prototype. It's a product from a team at its creative peak - it's Mario in its purest essence.

Everything in Tropical Freeze was made with extreme care and attention. From the landscapes and enemies to the music and level design. Each island has its own ecosystem so filled with details and different things to do that, as soon as one level is over, the question of what will Retro do next always looms around, and the developer always surprises.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a lesson on how to make a good RPG and is probably one of the most influential RPG games in the past decade, great for beginners in the genre and very challenging to those who want challenges, needing only to toggle the Expert Mode.

Rayman Origins combines art and challenge in a unique form.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope gets everything right in what it proposes as a dynamic strategy game, charismatic and produced by lovers of the genre and the two franchises. It is a quiet and sure bet that is worth every minute of your investment.

Catherine Full Body is an excellent game, regardless of your platform. The story is excellent and takes different directions and places according to the player's decisions.

This is not only a classic of Atlus, but also one of their best titles and it certainly deserves more prominence.

Paper Mario: The Origami King arrives on Nintendo Switch with very high quality graphics, a pleasant soundtrack and a plot full of very good humor, typical of the Paper Mario series. Among countless places to visit, bosses to win, and puzzles to solve, the game can be considered one of the best in the franchise.

The game's beautiful, rewarding, challenging and, above all, fun enough to keep players hooked for hundreds of hours.

All Things Wicked, the new chapter from Dead by Daylight, has become my new favorite original chapter. Along with a formidable survivor with an original mechanic and rich lore, it also brings a terrifying killer with a variety of playstyles and an exquisitely made new map. Though there are a few disappointing perks, this is overall the greatest original chapter that Behaviour has created, and I sincerely hope there will be more chapters that tie in with previous ones.

Spiritfall is one of the best roguelikes I've played in recent times. Fluid, satisfying and highly addictive, its highly versatile gameplay creates a wide range of possibilities and ways to play.

Even the small issues of Curtain Call will not manage to take it away from the spot of the best rhythm game on the system.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is an excellent game and, also, an excellent remake. It takes the experience of the original and brings it to a new public in a manner that will please both veterans and newcomers. It’s a game that other developers should take note in how to modernize a classic game.
