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.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties makes controversial decisions, but, looking closely, overall it gets more right than wrong. Analyzing it from the perspective of someone who isn't a purist of the franchise, we have experiences that complement each other and, in the end, fulfill the purpose of entertaining with mafia dramas and great incentives in its "open neighborhood" structure.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a good game. The surprise release at the Sony event was a wise choice. The problem lies in the price and pacing decisions that impact the experience.

Whether intentionally or not, Tarsier Studios delivered everything I expected from Little Nightmares 3 in Reanimal. The game offers greater gameplay depth, beautiful visuals, and an intense atmosphere, all with solo or local/online co-op gameplay.

For those seeking an out-of-the-box FPS with nostalgic elements, a challenging gameplay experience, and a short playtime, Crisol: Theater of Idols is an excellent choice.

Romeo is a Dead Man, developed and published by Suda51's studio, shows that creativity isn't born from constraints, and the director, more than ever, now does what he wants. Even reusing a game mold that unfortunately fell out of use, the title imprints its mark on all the systems and visual elements that compose it, being the most unhinged third-person action experience in recent times.

Mario Tennis Fever wins without a tie-break and becomes the definitive sports experience for Nintendo's plumber. Going beyond simply keeping what worked in Mario Tennis Aces, the title refines its gameplay with new tricks and introduces a variety of fun ways to compete in tennis, making it a great crossover of sports, beat 'em ups, and minigames. It's the kind of game we'll all keep playing until the end of the Switch 2 generation, at least.

The great challenge for Team Ninja with Nioh 3 was to take a solid foundation already beloved by fans of the franchise and elevate it to a new level alongside the industry’s major titles. Although I believe this goal has not yet been fully achieved, Nioh 3 represents the consolidation not only of the franchise but of all the work Team Ninja has developed over the years. The result is a game that, while not perfect, easily stands among the best soulslike titles in the industry, making it a recommendation not only for longtime veterans but also for anyone who has yet to experience what Nioh has to offer.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice offers a huge amount of content, multiple game modes, and a visually stunning experience. For fans of the franchise, it's a true amusement park full of references, epic battles, and memorable moments. On the other hand, like any amusement park, the experience can become tiresome. The repetition of fights and animations becomes apparent over time, and the lack of Brazilian Portuguese localization significantly impacts the cost-benefit ratio for the brazilian fans.

Despite its bloated content and drawn-out storyline, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined wins over players with its charming visuals and quality-of-life improvements that make its gameplay very satisfying. The ability to change parameters such as experience gain and damage also allows veterans and beginners alike to find their own way to have fun.

For fans of boomer shooters focused on speed, skill, and mastery of mechanics, the game has everything to please, even with some repetitive visuals and a deliberately cluttered interface.

After more than 13 hours of climbing (and much more gameplay overall, considering my failures), Cairn proved to be a special game, very consistent with its premise. It became clear, after some time, that it doesn't try to please everyone, but delivers an intense, fun, and quite original experience for those willing to play at its pace.

Code Vein II certainly has its strengths, though many of them are inherited from its predecessor. With interesting, well-developed characters and a wide variety of builds and playstyles, the game can be highly appealing to players who enjoy experimenting with all the combinations it has to offer. Unfortunately, the issues carried over from the past — such as performance problems and weak level design, now further burdened by the puzzling choice of a vast yet lifeless open world — make the title a recommendation only for die-hard souls-like fans or those who already have a special fondness for Bandai’s first game.

UNBEATABLE is an ambitious and conceptually interesting rhythm game, but it fails to successfully realize its creative vision. The execution is clumsy and leaves much to be desired, indicating that the team needed more development time—especially to polish its Story Mode.

Some experiences must be lived through for the fullness of their message to reach—or at least attempt to reach—your imagination and touch you in some way. Skate Story is like that. But since the goal here was to give you an idea of ​​what to expect, I can say lightly that this is a game worth playing.

It's clear that Escape From Tarkov has great qualities, but it demands too much time to understand and engage with the various gameplay systems involved. While the experience can be fun, the game might not be for you, depending on your preferences.

For those seeking atmospheric horror focused on exploration and suspense, Routine offers a clear, cohesive, and visually striking proposition. It's a short, engaging experience with a strong identity—even if it falls short of its full potential.

I can't even begin to imagine if this is truly the game that the most loyal fans were expecting after so many years, since that ends up being something much more personal than objective. From my perspective, I can say that I had a lot of fun and I'm eager to go back and finish exploring everything that was left behind in Viewros.

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a pleasant surprise for fans of beat 'em up games. Although simpler than other Dotemu hits, the title delivers refined and highly addictive tag-team gameplay. Furthermore, it hits the mark with its multiplayer experience (online and offline), the variety of its character roster, and unlockable content, encouraging replayability.

A.I.L.A knows how to create a tense atmosphere, catch you off guard, and truly leave you wondering what awaits you next—essential elements for a genuine horror experience.

A mix of racing and brawling, with a touch of party game, Kirby Air Riders preserves the soul of the original GameCube game and highlights the identity of Masahiro Sakurai, whose essence is everywhere, from the inventive menus and challenges to the minutiae of gameplay. Despite being a fast-paced title, there's something comforting in the positive and unpretentious atmosphere it conveys.

In a year filled with successful shooters like Battlefield 6 and ARC Raiders, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 doubles down on zombies and esotericism to stand out. The game refines its formula and expands on what we saw in BO6 with even more content, but without solving some problems.

Winter Burrow is a simple, easy-to-understand, and quite short game. It's a cozy game for those who appreciate titles with a carefully crafted, hand-made aesthetic. Despite this, the execution could still be improved in some aspects. Some quality-of-life elements and improvements would be very interesting to make the gameplay more comfortable.

Possessor(s) is an interesting entry-level Metroidvania for those wanting to explore the genre and enjoy a story with interesting characters and beautiful visuals. The game disappoints in some aspects and may leave you lost at times, but it's worth the price.

The first brand-new entry in the series since 2012, Lumines Arise retains everything that made it a success and delivers a synesthetic experience in which music, visuals, and gameplay blend together to immerse the player in what’s happening on screen. At the same time, the simplicity of what’s offered can leave the impression that something is missing from the experience — especially when it comes to the variety of challenges.

Embark took their time developing ARC Raiders, and the end result is spectacular. There are, indeed, some problems, but everything indicates that they will be resolved over time.

At the end of the journey, it's hard not to be moved by the tribute behind Master Lemon and its beautiful story about friendship, memory, and the value of words. More than just a unique Brazilian game, the title reminds us of the transformative power of art—capable of synthesizing pain into something beautiful, and grief into an eternal legacy.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment not only stands as the pinnacle of the musou genre—bringing variety to a style often marked by repetition, from its combat to its structure—but also firmly earns its place among the best canonical Zelda titles. Koei Tecmo absorbs everything that makes the Zelda franchise so special and delivers a work worthy of making Eiji Aonuma and Shigeru Miyamoto proud.

For fans of the first game or simply missing gameplay similar to Fallout, it's almost impossible not to recommend The Outer Worlds 2. The game still has some areas where it could improve, but it's easily a significant improvement over its predecessor.

If you’ve been missing the days of classic Telltale games, Dispatch is practically a must-play. In its first two episodes, the game already shows strong potential, plenty of charm, and sharp writing — balancing humor, drama, and strategy with a kind of lightness that’s rare in the genre. [Review in Progress]

Ninja Gaiden 4 truly packs a ton of content and focuses on delivering a fast-paced experience, with a great variety of abilities and weapons, a solid storyline, gorgeous environments, and battles worthy of a true ninja. I have to admit, though, this franchise isn’t for everyone — the repetitive loop of cutting down waves of enemies until you reach your objective can feel exhausting to some players. Still, it’s an integral part of the series’ gameplay identity.

Keeper is by far one of the most original games of 2025. Without using words and with simple gameplay, the game takes you on a beautiful journey full of surprises, which will certainly please those who enjoy games with an artistic flair.

Little Nightmares 3 is a great entry point for those looking to bring more people into the world of gaming, while also keeping the franchise alive with its well-known standards. Whether solo or in co-op, Low and Alone's adventure captivates with its setting and simplicity.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A gives more meaning to Mega Evolutions and is, above all, a game about combat — this time unrestrained and unafraid to break away from sameness. Lumiose City is the perfect stage for this Pokémon battle playground: its charm and historical depth highlight just how underrated the X and Y generation truly was.

The new Battlefield 6 is a true successor to the classics Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 — fan favorites and milestones in the industry. It stays true to the core mechanics and systems that matter most to the franchise, showing a clear attention to what players actually love. It’s a solid, back-to-basics Battlefield done right.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac takes a retrospective look at the qualities of the famous yellow hero in a 3D platformer that proves to be ahead of its time. As a remake, it meets all the expectations of a modern update and goes even further: it adds more content and gives a beautiful polish to everything that worked in the already charming original title, without losing its essence.

Silksong is a game made with great care and quality, and it can appeal to almost any fan of genres like Metroidvania and Soulslike. Outside of that bubble, however, it might be a harder title to recommend than its predecessor, even though it improves on practically every element. I believe it’s less accessible, as it demands better reflexes, more skill in platforming sections, and a stronger sense of how to deal with regular enemies and bosses.

Digimon Story Time Stranger left me with a case of Stockholm Syndrome. While the turn-based gameplay and nostalgia captivated me, some structural issues made me feel like I was in a toxic relationship with the game. Fortunately, most of the bugs that bothered me are present in the game's free demo, which is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. With that in mind, it's worth downloading the content and seeing if you're willing to make some compromises during gameplay to enter this magical digital world.

The Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 collection carries on its shoulders the two best 3D platformers ever starring Mario. Both games feel frozen in time, showing absolutely no signs of aging — quite the opposite, in fact: they highlight Nintendo’s sorcery in crafting magical, timeless experiences. Some minor tweaks were added to make them more accessible for new players, but honestly, they didn’t even need it. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 deserve to be listed in the dictionary as synonyms for perfection in gaming. Only those who embark on this journey truly understand how far the mustachioed hero went (to space, literally) to outdo himself in creativity.

Once again, EA FC 26 arrives with specific updates that don't justify the high price of its annual edition. As promised, the game listened to its players' complaints and tried to address many of them, but in some cases, the sheets were pulled to one side of the bed, leaving the other side exposed. The two distinct gameplay styles aim to appeal to a wider audience, but there are still positioning bugs that the game's AI can't handle, which are likely to generate new complaints.

There’s no better way to put it: Ghost of Yotei is more Ghost of Tsushima. It’s a sequel that sticks closely to what worked in the original game, with an emphasis on its engaging open world and even more stunning visuals. The narrative quality leaves a bit to be desired, and the combat—though more versatile—also has its repetitive moments, but the experience remains one of the best gaming has to offer when it comes to samurai games.

I’m a huge fan—not just of Hades, but of the entire catalog of titles released by Supergiant Games to date. So it came as no surprise that Hades II turned out to be one of the best games I played in 2025. While writing this review, I found myself restless—not because I struggled to talk about the game, but because every minute at the keyboard was a minute spent away from Tartarus or Olympus. Its only shortcoming lies in the somewhat limited strategic variety offered by Melinoë’s weapon aspects. Beyond that, Hades II elevates every element that made Hades the breakout hit of 2020, delivering once again one of the finest roguelikes ever made—packed with content and crafted with a quality worthy of a true Greek epic.

This is the best way for newcomers to experience the game for the first time, or for longtime fans to enjoy it all over again. It’s worth noting that the War of the Lions version is still available on PS Vita as well as on Android and iOS devices. Unfortunately, the price is still quite steep on those platforms, so waiting for a discount on The Ivalice Chronicles might be the best way to play Tactics nowadays.

Baby Steps is, without a doubt, the quirkiest game of 2025 and one of the wildest experiences I've ever had. With an utterly unbearable protagonist and gameplay that makes you want to throw the controller against the wall, I still found myself coming back every day, determined to push Nate forward.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a roguelite designed for players who, deep down, aren’t exactly fans of the endless repetition the genre usually demands—and especially for those who couldn’t care less about storylines in video games. Fair warning: most of your playtime will likely be spent skipping dialogue without a second thought.

Silent Hill F is not just a return — it’s a reinvention. Neobards and Konami have managed to bring the series back into relevance without relying on recycled formulas, opting instead for a fresh Japanese setting, a complex protagonist, and a combat system that defies expectations. It’s an approach that surprises while still respecting the franchise’s DNA.

Overflowing with charisma, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is the racing game the blue blur always deserved—a true tribute with that unmistakable arcade vibe that honors his legacy in gaming. With gameplay as smooth and satisfying as driving in real life, and a wealth of content built to entertain for generations, the game reignites the friendly rivalry between SEGA and Nintendo. This time, though, the race is neck and neck.

Dying Light: The Beast is a game that will resonate most with longtime fans of the franchise. Choosing to focus on targeted improvements while preserving much of what worked in previous entries is a bold move. And while this approach has backfired in many other games, here it pays off—making this the most enjoyable title in the series yet.

Hell is Us bet on being an “out of the box” game—and it nailed it. Its bold choice to present wide, open environments without a map or any straightforward navigation system adds a nostalgic feel, even flirting with the essence of classic soulslike experiences from the Souls series. However, the combat makes a point of showing it’s something entirely different, introducing a system that may seem complex at first but gradually turns into a secondary element as the game progresses.

Lost Soul Aside is a hack and slash that harks back to the golden age of the genre, with its excellent combat — at times technical, at others mindless — serving as the backbone of the experience. Still, it ends up being one of those games filled with striking highs and discouraging lows. If it weren’t for the anachronistic concept it carries, the title could easily stand among the pantheon of great action games.

Chronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting atmosphere and intriguing story, but its lack of surprises and uneven gameplay hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Gears of War Reloaded is a masterclass in how to bring a classic game into the modern era. The title comes packed with an impressive suite of new technologies and removes all the barriers in its PC version. On top of that, the game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, showcasing its impressive scalability. It’s practically a development handbook that more studios should follow when it comes to preserving legendary franchises.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance joins this year’s pantheon of ninja games, proving itself as a true metroidvania with deep exploration, stunning hand-drawn art, and fast-paced combat. Musashi shows he hasn’t aged a bit in nearly 40 years, seamlessly reinventing himself as a modern-day shinobi while never losing the essence that once made him a SEGA icon.

With more hits than misses, Killing Floor 3 is a solid co-op shooter that thrives on relentless action and stands out thanks to its addictive progression loop. While it’s true the game still lacks enough content to feel fully fleshed out, it serves as a strong entry point for newcomers to the series. Its touch of horror, drenched in blood and gore, gives the experience a unique finishing touch.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may not be the remake new players expected, but it is a love letter to longtime fans. It is a respectful modernization of Kojima's legacy and his history with Konami.

Honestly? If you’ve got any kind of emotional attachment to the series, Salamander 3 alone makes the collection worth it. Gradius Origins doesn’t just bring back the golden age of shmups—it celebrates 40 years of the most influential and prolific franchise in the genre. Even if this style of game doesn’t carry the same appeal it once did, at least Konami made the effort to keep it alive in our memories.

Stick it to the Stickman is definitely worth every cent it asks for on Steam. It still needs some polishing here and there, but it absolutely deserves the attention of anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted experience — or who’s ever wanted to smack their boss or that annoying coworker without risking a lawsuit. [Early Access Review]

I really enjoyed playing Drag x Drive, but it’s pretty noticeable that it can get tiring after a while — either because of the physical effort or simply from playing the same mode over and over. I think a bit more variety and some new modes could really benefit the game in the future. It all comes down to whether Nintendo is willing to invest more development time into it.

Earthion is a gift for fans of classic shoot ’em ups and a passionate tribute to the 16-bit era, complete with all the charms and quirks that come with it. Its soundtrack is a standout on its own, the visuals are gorgeous within its style, and the difficulty will delight veterans seeking a real challenge.

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound hits like a shot of espresso to the brain — sharpens your senses with its pixel-perfect jumps and gets your heart pounding through the acrobatic carnage delivered by the two excellent protagonists, Kenji and Kumori. Still, the absence of Ryu Hayabusa is definitely felt.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a very competent arena fighting game, making full use of CyberConnect2’s expertise in the genre. Beyond that, it delivers top-notch visuals that are on par with the original work, which became popular largely due to this very trait. It's just unfortunate that its need to follow the anime’s release schedule harms the playable content — which can only be described in one way: it's unfinished.

The animations are excellent, combat feels satisfying, and the offline modes offer solid content. But all of that is overshadowed by the lack of balance, a limited character roster, and—most notably—a problematic multiplayer experience (which, to be fair, is expected to improve over time). In the end, Nen x Impact is a decent adaptation, but one riddled with flaws, still far from capturing the depth of Togashi’s manga.

I definitely recommend Grounded 2 — whether you enjoyed the first game or just love survival titles with deep crafting systems. Even if you're not usually into this kind of game, I believe it's well worth a try for its unique concept — unless, of course, you’re terrified of giant ladybugs. [Early Access Review]

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has qualities that are both appealing and well-executed. With solid art direction and an excellent progression and customization system—for both the protagonist and her equipment—it's clear that Leenzee Games paid close attention to the details surrounding the gameplay. Unfortunately, it’s the gameplay itself that ends up holding the title back when compared to recent competitors like Lies of P or The First Berserker: Khazan. Overall, Wuchang is a good recommendation only for those who, like me, are die-hard fans of the souls-like genre and are willing to overlook some frustrations with its combat and boss encounters—or for those curious enough to try it out via Game Pass.

Despite its clear structural issues and a level design that falls well short of other games in the genre — including some with smaller scope and budget — Shadow Labyrinth meets nearly all the expectations of a good Metroidvania. With bursts of comforting nostalgia reminiscent of the ghost-eating classic, rewarding exploration, and tight combat, the experience isn’t without its stumbles (some of which I’d consider amateurish), but it’s the kind of passion project we’d like to see more studios of Bandai Namco’s caliber investing in.

Gaúcho and The Grassland offers a rich cultural experience paired with fun and engaging gameplay. For those who are Gaúchos like myself, it's an unmissable journey that can be deeply emotional. Even for players who simply enjoy farm-themed games, Epopeia Games’ title brings an interesting gameplay experience that can be quite enjoyable, despite a few limitations. If you're curious about the culture of Rio Grande do Sul and want to explore it in a cute and interactive way, this adventure is highly recommended.

Aware of its limitations, Edens Zero is not only a faithful adaptation designed to win fans' approval, but also a good action RPG that even serves the purpose of winning over fans of the genre, whether you like Hiro Mashima's work or not. In other words, Edens Zero is, surprisingly, more than a standard anime game and makes do with its features.

With only a few technical flaws, Donkey Kong Bananza is a game that gets almost everything right in what it set out to do and deliver to fans of the gorilla. It's refreshing to see the character getting a brand-new game—especially in a different formula from what we’ve been used to seeing since the 1990s.

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a competent game in its simplicity. It's not particularly innovative in its gameplay or narrative, but its mechanics are good enough to entertain and please fans who are missing out on stealth games.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 isn't a perfect remake, nor a revolutionary reimagining. But it's, above all, a fun game, respectful of its heritage, and incredibly addictive. Arcade skateboarding is doing just fine, thank you.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is more than just a competent adaptation—it's a true stress test for the Switch 2’s hardware. Thanks to CD Projekt Red’s technical “sorcery” in making the port happen, the game showcases what Nintendo’s hybrid console is capable of in this generation. More importantly, it offers a glimpse into the kind of relationship the Japanese company hopes to build with third-party developers. If firepower was what the Switch 2 needed, there's nothing quite like Cyberpunk to prove its combat potential.

Mario Kart World is the perfect game to pick up if you're a big fan of the series or if you get the chance to buy the Switch 2 bundle that includes it. Otherwise, I think it's totally fine to wait a bit longer and keep enjoying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe—for now, at least—until you find the new game on sale. Either way, once you do get your hands on it, I can assure you that Mario Kart World will be one of those titles that stays with you throughout the entire lifespan of the Switch 2.

With Rematch, it’s a clean hit: refined visuals, addictive gameplay, and an original concept make it a standout. It’s proof that there’s still room for innovation in the gaming industry—even when it feels like everything revolves around the same tired themes and formulas.

Dune Awakening is a game that appeals both to longtime Dune fans and to players who’ve never read or watched anything from the franchise. Its immersive world makes you want to live in the saga’s universe—whether that’s surviving the harsh deserts of Arrakis or exploring more hospitable planets. At the same time, it’s the kind of game where you’ll easily lose hours building and customizing your bases, gear, equipment, and vehicles.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach delivers on its promises, featuring a star-studded cast worthy of Hollywood. Its story surprises with the boldness of its themes, accompanied by fun and refined gameplay. It’s an essential recommendation not just for Kojima fans, but for anyone who loves video games.

Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition could easily become the definitive version for a lot of people – myself included – as it lets us play with current-gen quality while enjoying all the conveniences of the Switch 2. It may not be the most visually impressive version of Street Fighter 6, which doesn’t take away from its merit as a brilliant port, but it’s the only one that lets you practically jump into a quick ranked match during a family lunch.

Without much fanfare, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition arrives to quietly do its homework—introducing an excellent adventure to a new audience while preserving what made the original so memorable at the time of its release. While it stands as the definitive version of the debut title and gives us a reason to finally retire the PS3, Xbox 360, and even the original PC versions, the remaster falls short of addressing the list of graphical issues it really should have fixed.

The Alters is a unique experience in the world of video games, blending a variety of different elements to deliver a cohesive, polished, and thought-provoking product. It’s the kind of story that could have come from the mind of a great science fiction writer—but its impact is only truly felt when you step into the shoes of Jan Dolski.

Above Average, the Onimusha 2 Remaster reaffirms Capcom’s affection for its franchises. Samurai’s Destiny wrestles with a clunky camera and an awkward affinity system—flaws that stand out more clearly today—but these issues don’t overshadow the game’s unique structure, which still feels distinctive: part Resident Evil, part hack and slash. Here’s hoping that the Onimusha-like formula becomes a trend going forward.

F1 25 remains a game designed to please a specific niche: motorsport enthusiasts and, above all, Formula 1 fans. The return of the Braking Point mode adds some appeal for those looking for something a bit more “outside the box,” and ultimately, it also serves as a solid entry point for newcomers. However, the other modes are virtually unchanged, with only minor updates—something long-time annual players are already very familiar with.

If Elden Ring perfected FromSoftware’s classic formula, Nightreign is certainly an attempt to bring that formula into the multiplayer era. While much of the original charm may have been lost in translation—as is often the case—there's still a way to enjoy it on its own terms.

Deliver At All Costs' captivating atmosphere and carefree gameplay convince the player long before the narrative, which, when successful, can even be moving. Although unusual, this combination works very well, and gives purpose to a chaotic game, which in the wrong hands could quickly become repetitive. [Review in Progress]

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 fulfills a very important role by preserving another brilliant part of Capcom's history, but it also shows that the company has little interest in changing the formula of its collections. The lack of cross-play is very regrettable, while some interface problems, present in previous releases, are also present here.
