EA Sports UFC 6 continues to be a game designed to please MMA fans, more specifically those of the UFC universe. The game hits the mark by replicating the atmosphere of the event, both in the scenarios and characterization of the company's main stars, and by bringing new modes that also seek to imitate the daily lives of professional fighters.

Featuring time travel, a narrative structure influenced by Mana, and the combat and exploration characteristic of Zelda, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales demonstrates that the HD-2D style still has a lot of life left in it, including in other genres, and that it has matured significantly in recent games. After years of refining the formula in smaller-scale games, Square Enix seems to have finally found a Zelda to call its own.

Despite occasional bugs and visuals that fall short of expectations, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an essential experience for RPG fans, delivering a high-level story and gameplay on a handheld console, provided you accept its limitations.

Invincible VS demonstrates the repertoire to rival established franchises in the genre and, to the delight of many, brings tag fighters back into the spotlight. Brutal and with a mesmerizing visual composition, hallmarks of the work it adapts, it delivers impeccable three-on-three gameplay that only improves as the player assimilates the character switching systems.

Mina the Hollower emerges as a new instant classic from Yacht Club Games, delivering a charming adventure in a punishing yet extremely satisfying world to explore. It's a game brimming with charisma and quality, and hopefully it will pave a new future for the Shovel Knight developer at a rather delicate time in the gaming market.

Yoshi's new adventure surprised me quite a bit overall, especially after some games that didn't seem to reach the true potential of the little dinosaur. I believe Nintendo nailed this different approach, and it was a lot of fun to get to know and make so many discoveries about the creatures inside the book. The colored pencil style, the stop-motion animation, and even the more intimate soundtrack only enhanced the experience.

Forza Horizon 6 perfectly captured the essence of Japan and became the best chapter in the franchise. It's never been so much fun to spend hours exploring the game's immense and immersive map, with hundreds of activities to complete. All this with breathtaking visuals and gameplay that appeals to those less familiar with driving, while simultaneously offering a huge menu of customizable elements to give the game a simulator feel.

James Bond hadn't starred in a game for over a decade, and 007 First Light was exactly what he needed to return to the format. The game is meticulously crafted, with a perfectly balanced, megalomaniacal story and captivating characters that are enough to keep the player hooked.

Outbound isn't the kind of game I'd recommend to everyone interested in cozy games, as it falls short in some areas important to that audience. Fortunately, the issues I've mentioned throughout this review can be changed and improved if the developers listen to feedback from critics and, more importantly, from the fans themselves. The feeling I get is that Outbound would be a good candidate for an early access game, one that changes, evolves, and receives new features as players report their experiences.

LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight's Legacy is a must-have game for fans of the DC hero, and for anyone looking for a game to enjoy with family and friends on the same console. The idea of ​​using the character's classic films, without the obligation to follow their respective plots exactly, or even the order in which they were released, creates a unique and incredibly rich story full of references to its universe, which fits perfectly with the game's concept.

Call of the Elder Gods is a game that should please a wide range of fans: fans of Lovecraft, of challenging puzzles, and of the first game. Out of the Blue isn’t trying to make a conventional horror game, but rather capture the essence of what made H. P. Lovecraft so unsettling on paper: the idea that the universe is ancient, vast, and may hide secrets humanity cannot even begin to understand.

Without much fanfare, Screamer is a classic arcade racing game. Authentic and with a vibrant 1980s anime aesthetic, the reboot didn't need to adapt to genre trends to deliver a fun, drift-focused experience. Essentially, the game draws inspiration from its own past to show that arcade-style races are still going strong in 2026.

Tides of Tomorrow is the kind of game that can take you by surprise, especially if you've played several other titles where "choices matter." It's refreshing to find a game where there's a greater impact not only on the world being created around you but also on the world of other players. Even if some aspects are simpler, I believe the game balances this with its mechanics of shared visions and lives among the Tidewalkers.

If you grew up in the 90s or 2000s, Mixtape will likely bring laughter, nostalgia, and maybe even a few genuine tears. For those born in the TikTok era, it's almost like a time capsule of a less connected, but perhaps more present, youth.

Aphelion succeeds by betting on an interesting theme and a relatively realistic approach to space exploration. The combination of science fiction, human drama, and mystery works well enough to keep the player curious for much of the campaign. However, the game suffers from linearity issues, some repetitive moments, and a lack of technical refinement that prevents the project from reaching its full potential.

Saros features gameplay with frenetic combat and a raid system that encourages and excites the player to replay everything dozens of times before finally progressing through the game. Furthermore, its story offers an appealing universe and a foundation that can be easily explored in other titles and even sequels.

Tomodachi Life is easily a game I never imagined would get a sequel, especially 12 years after its release. During my days on the island with my new Miis, I can say that the formula is still extremely fun and I'm very happy that Nintendo has invested in the franchise again. Still, I think one of the strongest points of the original was its surprise factor, since we had never seen anything like it before.

Pragmata is the kind of game that can appeal to most people, even if it has a few stumbles along the way. If you're unsure, I can say that there are many elements that reminded me of games like Resident Evil and Dead Space, with very small hints of Monster Hunter and even Death Stranding.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the third installment in the spin-off series, but the first to truly stand on equal footing with the main series. In scope and ambition, Twisted Reflection is as big as Monster Hunter Wilds, even with some inconsistent moments in combat and side activities. With Stories 3, Monster Hunter remains sovereign as Capcom's most consistent product.

Life is Strange Reunion marks a significant narrative evolution compared to Double Exposure, but leaves a feeling of being made as a big fanfic to please the most enthusiastic fans of the Max and Chloe couple. And that makes a lot of sense, considering that Square Enix marketed the game as the duo's last great adventure.

Super Bomberman Collection brings all the conveniences that a classic game collection needs, without adding or taking away anything. After recovering from a pachinko overdose, Konami finally seems to have mastered the art of preserving its intellectual properties. I hope the company persists with this initiative, as its treasure trove is still full of relics that deserve to be rescued.

Marathon is a brutal and potentially frustrating extraction shooter. It's not beginner-friendly, but offers significant value for those who persevere. The art direction is bold and extremely striking—capable of attracting or repelling players from the very first moment. [Review in Progress]

Crimson Desert is an experience that won’t appeal to everyone, but it can be unforgettable for those who embrace what others might see as flaws. Blending combat, survival, and exploration, the game offers over 100 hours of content that may feel superficial to some yet captivating to others. Despite issues like confusing menus and a clunky inventory system, it remains fun and worthy of attention in 2026. Ultimately, the key question is whether you have the time and willingness to dive into its expansive design, which could shine even brighter if it focused less on quantity and more on personality.

Despite its unbalanced and sometimes frustrating combat, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake still tells an excellent story that deserves recognition. Outside of the narrative, however, its visual presentation is inconsistent, especially by the modern standards expected from a remake. For players who do not rely on Portuguese subtitles, the title can still be enjoyable and serve as a good entry point to the franchise.

If you're wondering whether Pokémon Pokopia is worth it, I'll give you the answer right away: yes, it's one of the games that has surprised me the most in recent months. But this is exactly the type of game I love; after all, I've already spent hundreds of hours on Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest Builders, and various other farming, building, management, and simulation games.

It's easy to recommend Avowed for what it has become in exactly 365 days: a polished action RPG like few others, dedicated primarily to combat and exploration, with a hooking premise, even if some of its most ambitious ideas don't quite work. Are there problems? Several. But nobody said a game needs to be perfect to captivate the player like Avowed manages to.

Resident Evil Requiem stands on its historical weight and on gameplay that embraces well-defined dualities for the overall experience. However, beyond a narrative that raises more questions than answers, there is a lack of clarity regarding the future direction of the franchise.

Even with problems that can easily be removed or changed after a few updates, High on Life 2 stands out not for its gameplay (which, even though frantic, is still a bit generic) nor for its story, but for its creativity. Memorable and creative boss battles and sharp dialogue without much exaggeration make High on Life 2 excel in its main objective: delivering fun.
