    Persona 5 Royal
    After 135 hours with the game, one fact stands above all: Atlus really cares for this title. Persona 5 Royal isn't just a Definitive Edition of Persona 5: unlike other GOTY editions which throw the game and its DLC packs in the same package, Royal is the ultimate edition for P5. For veterans of the game, this will be an enhanced edition, for newcomers, it will mark the best spot to jump into this amazing series.

    Demon's Souls
    The best thing about this wonderful remake is that it truly feels like a new "Souls" game, rather than an old one being brought back to life. The graphics are incredible, the music is wonderful and the kingdom of Boletaria was recreated beautifully by Bluepoint Games. If you managed to get a PS5, but still haven't played this game, you're wasting your time.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio
    I don't think Metaphor Refantazio is only the best game Atlus ever made, but it is definitely my game of the year at this point. It brings a lot of improvements to their JRPG formula which begs the question, how will they out do themselves in Persona 6?

    Red Dead Redemption 2
    With most of the bugs ironed out, and with the PC version getting extra features and graphical improvements, this might be the best version of this game.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II stands as one of, if not the, best RPG ever released. It can suck the player for hours with an engaging narrative, an amazing world full with intricate details, and choices that have actually matters with meaningful consequences. The game give the players to ability to shape the course of their adventure.

    Fire Emblem: Three Houses
    The best game in the series, and a masterpiece in the RPG/Tactics genre. A must-have game for Switch owners and a fabulous game outright.

    God of War
    God of War joins as the main star of Sony's arsenal of successful exclusive games and there is no doubt that every gamer with a PlayStation 4 system must play it.

    Metroid Prime Remastered
    I never thought that a week before my birthday, Nintendo would gift me with the opportunity to review one of the games that made me the gamer that I am now. This is a truly timeless classic, made even better with great graphics and some QoL improvements.

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
    Even without the PS5 features shining through, the wonderful graphics, and the non-existent load times, what we're left with is a superb game, one that I encourage everyone to play on their PS5. Calling this "a must-have" would sell short how fun, replayable and addictive this game is. A well deserved perfect score.

    Super Mario Odyssey
    In my eyes, Nintendo has created the Magnum Opus of 3D Sandbox Open-World Platforming with this game. From start to finish, this game oozes with fun, great gameplay, amazing worlds and vistas and absolutely phenomenal music. The fact you have to use motion controls in order to get the full use of Cappy is weird but that's the only bad thing I can say about this game. Nintendo is spoiling us this year.

    Bayonetta 2
    Bayonetta 2 is Action video gaming perfected. The game is simply great, with amazing set pieces and a crazy story, but the real highlight of the game is the combat that simply thrives on letting the player figure out the best ways to tackle a fight without holding your hand. With the extra modes and the added bonus of the first game, there is no getting around it – this game is a masterpiece and a must have on the Switch.

    Astro Bot
    Astro Bot is the first 3D platformer from Sony that we got in many years, it is one of my favorite experiences with the Playstation 5, be it the use of the DualSense features or Astro's world as a whole and I hope Sony will make more games like this.

    Elden Ring
    I just wrote a 2800+ word review about a game that left me speechless. I cannot describe how smart, fun, surprising, engaging, challenging, rewarding and addicting Elden Ring is. This is not just another game - it's FromSoftware's Magnum Opus.

    The Last of Us Part II
    The Last of Us Part II is the perfect combination of an excellent Hollywood movie with a fat budget with fun and flowing gameplay. The phenomenal writing will touch every player and won't leave an eye dry of tears. Combat and exploration are challenging and lead the player to use creativity and improvisation. A real masterpiece and a must-have for every PS4 owner.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
    There is really nothing else that needs to be said about this game. It's Eiji Aonuma's greatest achievement as a video game creator, and it is probably one of the best games Nintendo has ever put out. It makes even the wonderfully crafted Breath of the Wild seem like an unfinished project compared to it. If you love gaming - you have to try this game in any way shape or form.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a game that checks all the boxes for me in a game of its style and is currently my game of the year, it has an engaging battle system that I enjoy, its world setting is interesting, the cast of characters and the story are interesting, and I don't wish for it to even end.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake
    Final Fantasy VII Remake exceeded almost every expectation that I had: The game looks amazing, plays great, the cutscenes are remarkable and the soundtrack is breathtaking. Final Fantasy VII Remake us a must-play for fans of the original game and PS4 players in general.

    Where Winds Meet
    Where Winds Meet is an ambitious and impressive project with the potential to become a standout title in the coming years. It combines a stunning world, deep combat, nearly endless customization, and refreshing innovations in NPC interaction. While the game demands a significant investment of time and patience, it rewards players with a uniquely immersive experience and a rare opportunity to walk the path of legendary sword heroes from ancient China. In an industry of RPGs that often feel generic and try to please everyone, this game is a bold statement that a true role-playing experience is rooted in the freedom to shape your world as you see fit, treating its MMO aspects as a feature, not a genre.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is nothing short of a masterpiece. The changes made to this game make it both brand new and familiar. The world the game brings us to is vast, beautiful and breathtaking and the soundtrack and sound design are absolutely phenomenal. As a man who has interest in game design this game is a great lesson in how it's done, as a gamer this was a great game to play and as a long time fan of the series I was just so happy I got to play this game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was set to be a one of a kind experience and indeed it was.

    Baldur's Gate 3
    Baldur's Gate 3 is the pinnacle for RPG games that puts the "Role Play" back in Role Playing Games. Larian Studios sets a new industry standard that is beyond what we've seen in terms of gameplay, replayability, and graphics. The endless possibilities create the true feeling of an open world that doesn't lead you in a way and gives the player a way to explore the story in limitless opportunities.

    Forza Horizon 5
    Forza Horizon 5 features all the content from the previous game and bumps the fun of this Horizon title. The game looks stunning and the gameplay is the same casual fun of Forza Horizon. The replayability of this game makes it outstanding and deserving of a perfect score.

    Horizon Zero Dawn
    By looking at this game alone, you would've never imagined Guerilla Games' previous works were on FPS games. Horizon: Zero Dawn reaches perfection in almost all of its aspects and it does so with relative ease. Aloy is an amazing character, a true bad-ass with a great story behind her, and the world she lives in is vast and full of interesting and unique characters and secrets. The combat, while a tad lacking, is extremely fun and addictive and the graphics are some of the best seen on the system with breath-taking vistas. If you happen to own a PS4, you should buy this game. If you don't, then you might want a PS4 for this one. Guerilla Games went and set the bar high for future open world games with this one.

    Cuphead
    Cuphead offers a unique combination of art and sound, presenting one of the most funny and bizarre shows in the current game generation. Its gameplay and co-op can hold many fun hours and a strong replay-ability attribute. Recommended for everyone.

    Hades
    Few are the games that actually live up to their hype. Hades is one such game. With its excellent gameplay, great soundtrack, wonderful story and great use of its roguelike elements to tell it, Hades is one of the best games of 2020. Supergiant games just gave us another banger.

    Sonic Mania
    A game that was made by fans, but has the word “Professional” written all over it. Sonic Mania is the best 2D Sonic game ever made and a crowning achievement in both platforming games and video game music. Everything in this game was made with love and care that Sonic fans desperately needed after Sonic 4. The old levels feel fresh and new, the new levels are absolutely amazing, the music is one of the best things in this game and there is just so much to do it feels overwhelming at times. Sonic Mania is a must have for Sonic The Hedgehog fans, fans of the platforming genre and anyone who grew up in the early 90's and just wants to feel like a kid again.

    Marvel's Spider-Man
    Spider-Man exceeded my expectations in every single way. It has its low points, but they are so minor, they become insignificant in the face of its many positive points. Spider-Man is the PS4's second system seller in 2018.

    Deathloop
    Rich in detail and brilliantly designed, Deathloop brings new life into a familiar story trope. It's polished game mechanics help Deathloop remain intriguing and challenging at all times, which makes it a paramount addition to the new PS5 game library.

    Darkest Dungeon
    Dark atmosphere, grim locations and outright horrifying enemies and dungeons, make this game a gem of an RPG that sets itself apart from anything else on the system. The use of the Nintendo Switch’s touch screen is great and adds to the experience even more.

    Morbid Metal
    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds
    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
