Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a strong return for a beloved horror classic. While its controls and learning curve can be challenging at first, the game delivers an outstanding atmosphere, tense combat, and a compelling story. It’s a must-play for horror fans looking for a truly immersive experience.

Crimson Desert is one of the most ambitious games in a long time. It’s an expansive, and deeply detailed fantasy world that constantly invites exploration and rewards curiosity. Its fluid, skill-based combat and sheer scale are genuinely impressive, but that same ambition often works against it. A lack of focus, overly complex systems, and a slow, demanding progression can make the experience feel overwhelming and, at times, exhausting. It’s a game of extremes: deeply immersive and rewarding for those willing to invest the time, but far from accessible for everyone.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection refines the formula established by its predecessors with a deeper turn-based combat system, a charming cast of characters, and a striking anime-inspired presentation. The game successfully adapts the spirit of Monster Hunter into a strategic RPG experience where planning, equipment, and Monstie management play a central role. While its world is larger and more ambitious than before, exploration can feel somewhat empty, making the adventure feel less dynamic than it initially promises. Even so, Twisted Reflection stands as a polished and engaging evolution of the spin-off series.

WWE 2K26 has a nice balance between adding new elements and tweaking its formula while respecting what has worked for years. Each year, it demonstrates why the series is the best wrestling simulator on the market, and this time it gets so close to realism that there are even a couple of annoying things. Clearly, it's an imperfect title, but the elements that work fine are pure quality.

Scott Pilgrim EX is a remarkable sequel because it respects its predecessor and the franchise as a whole while seamlessly adding numerous elements that makes it a clear step forward. Although it removes some elements from the original that worked well, can become quite repetitive, and we feel it could have done more to encourage replayability, it delivers a well-rounded experience for both solo players and those who enjoy multiplayer.

Pokémon Pokopia is one of the most refreshing and heartfelt spin-offs the franchise has delivered in years. Instead of focusing on battles and competition, it reimagines the “catch ’em all” philosophy through empathy, reconstruction, and community-building. Its sandbox structure is deeply rewarding, offering players meaningful freedom to experiment, rebuild broken worlds, and form bonds with Pokémon in ways that feel both nostalgic and entirely new. While its quest design can occasionally feel repetitive and its pacing may not appeal to action-driven players, the experience shines through its addictive gameplay loop, smart progression system, and subtle homages to the series’ legacy. Pokopia respects the player’s intelligence, unfolds at a deliberate pace, and delivers a surprisingly emotional message about rebuilding what’s been lost.

A masterful fusion of classic survival horror and high-intensity action, Resident Evil Requiem seamlessly blends Grace’s methodical survival stealth with Leon’s explosive combat into a cohesive vision that respects the franchise’s legacy while boldly shaping its future. Capcom delivers an ambitious, meticulously crafted entry that reflects remarkable creative maturity, one that restores faith in truly exceptional survival horror in the modern era.

Reign of the Warlock may not introduce a new act, but it lays the groundwork for a bold new era of Diablo II. Blizzard proves that revitalizing a 26-year-old classic is not only possible, but genuinely exciting.

Mario Tennis Fever is the most complete entry in the series so far. The game offers fast-paced matches, creative power shots, and a surprisingly stable online mode. While motion controls feel inaccurate and disappointing, the core gameplay, large character roster, and multiplayer options make it a very fun and engaging experience on Nintendo Switch 2.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Tides modernizes a divisive entry in the series with improved combat, progression, and added content. While the remake is more fun and accessible than the original, some changes affect narrative pacing and emotional impact. Dark Tides complements the package with a brief but engaging prequel focused on Yoshitaka Mine, adding valuable context to the overall experience.

Nioh 3 stays true to the franchise’s roots and focuses on refining its formula to deliver its most polished, deep, and satisfying gameplay experience to date. Combat shines brighter than ever thanks to the introduction of the Ninja and Samurai styles, while exploration gains new relevance with the addition of open maps, making progression highly rewarding. Although the limited enemy variety, a boring story, and repeated elements from previous entries can create a sense of déjà vu, the game largely succeeds in its goals and stands as franchise most complete entry yet. It’s not a revolution, but rather the natural evolution many action fans were hoping for

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a remake crafted with an immense amount of love and care. Visually, it's majestic and full of charm, the voice acting is superb, the pacing has been polished to be more fluid without sacrificing important narrative points, and the combat is amazing. We hadn't had this much fun grinding in a JRPG for a long time, and we believe that with Reimagined, Dragon Quest VII will no longer be seen as one of the black sheep of the franchise; on the contrary, it will be considered one of the best in the series.

The return of CODE VEIN is neither triumphant nor innovative, but it redeems itself somewhat by correcting the fundamental problems that were evident in the first installment. The exploration of a mirror world 100 years apart is interesting, and although cliché, it works to make the story more entertaining and easier to digest. If this is your first time exploring the genre and you like anime, it's a good place to start.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a surprisingly strong portable experience. While limited to 30 fps and showing occasional performance dips, the game looks great on the console’s screen and includes all major content, including the Yuffie episode. It’s an excellent option for players who want to experience one of Square Enix’s most ambitious RPGs anywhere, even if it’s not the definitive technical version.

With quality-of-life updates and deeper customization, this is the most complete version of New Horizons, perfect for players looking for a cozy and creative escape.

Blood: Refreshed Supply is a meticulous restoration of one of the most underappreciated 90s shooters. A bloody showcase of difficulty, inventive level design, and darkly comic horror with modern technical upgrades. Night Dive Studios delivers a faithful remaster with expanded content, performance enhancements, and broad platform support. However, its steep price and controversial upgrade strategy overshadow the achievement, making this revival as divisive as it is technically impressive.

As is tradition, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers polished, addictive multiplayer, the best work from Treyarch since Black Ops II. However, the campaign disappoints by removing the traditional single-player experience, replacing it with uninspired co-op missions and a narrative disconnected from the series legacy. Zombies mode is ambitious but overly complex, prioritizing retention over fun. A split package: brilliant in multiplayer, but soulless in its campaign.

Red Dead Redemption - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition makes look the console like a really decent machine, because it competes very close with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, so if you are an only Nintendo user, you get the best way to play this masterpiece. Excellent frame rate, gorgeous visuals and an epic adventure.

Skate Story isn’t played, it’s felt: every trick is a cry of freedom and every fall a reminder of the pain that runs through it. With its hypnotic aesthetic and atmosphere heavy with symbolism, it turns skateboarding into a dark and fascinating ritual. Beyond a few minor details, what remains is a brutally immersive experience, capable of leaving its mark like few others.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 is a surprisingly strong version of Ubisoft’s big open-world game. It keeps the large maps, the fast combat, and the two-hero story, while using the Switch 2’s improved power to offer stable performance and clear graphics in docked mode. Some details like shadows and textures are reduced, but the game still feels complete, making it a solid portable way to play it.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a surprisingly solid adaptation of Champions of the Continent, preserving the franchise’s visual charm, memorable music, and strategic combat system. Its more open structure and narrative focus on Orsterra bring a refreshing scope to the adventure. While the lack of Spanish localization and some stiff voice performances hold it back, it remains a deep and enjoyable JRPG experience for fans of the series.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond marks a triumphant return for Retro Studios delivering a masterfully crafted Metroidvania that captures the atmospheric tension and immersive world design that defined the original trilogy. With intelligent level design, fluid controls, striking art direction, and a strong sense of discovery, the game blends elements from past entries to produce a dynamic emotional experience. Although its slow opening and certain open-area sections slightly hold it back, Beyond ultimately proves that the long wait was worth it.

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is undoubtedly a love letter to the beat 'em up genre and 90s nostalgia. However, that fidelity to the past is also its biggest limitation.

Arc Raiders delivers one of the most refreshing multiplayer experiences in recent years, combining excellent art direction with stellar sound design to create a tense extraction shooter where every match feels unique. Despite inconsistent hit registration and AI-generated voices that clash with the game's otherwise high production values, Arc Raiders succeeds in creating a paranoia-inducing experience that keeps you coming back for more loot and memorable encounters.

Dispatch is one of the best graphic adventures out there, and it has already earned its place among the heavyweights of the genre, games that are now remembered with nostalgia. The integration of its parts is perfect, resulting in an entertaining, fun, and exciting experience that keeps you engaged. Its greatest strength lies in its refusal to try to legitimize itself as a video game by adding complex or pretentious sections. What you see is what you get, and it's rarely the case that it's perfectly balanced. A truly delightful surprise and, without a doubt, an experience you should have, because gaming isn't all about AAA titles or the torment of complexity and difficulty.

Kirby Air Riders is a masterclass in game design and in how to make an anticipated sequel. It has everything that made the original game so incredible, and it adds so much content that it seems like an infinite title. You can play it by yourself or with friends in local or online multiplayer, and in any way it will make you have a blast.

In the end, Reus 2 comes out on top. Despite its shortcomings as a console port, particularly the lack of ideal adaptation for traditional controls, it's a solid strategy and management game. Given its difficulty level, learning curve, and audiovisual elements, I consider it a good entry point to the genre if you haven't tried it before or don't want to get bogged down in a sea of ​​menus, options, and on-screen information. The simplistic yet effective style, combined with the hours of fun it provides and its creative possibilities, makes it an interesting option for passing the time, exercising your mind, and, why not, relaxing for a while.

Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 with solid ports that honor the origins of Kazuma Kiryu. Kiwami shines with upgraded performance at 60 FPS and welcome quality-of-life improvements, while Kiwami 2 delivers a faithful but less polished experience due to frame pacing issues. Strong stories, engaging combat, and Latin American Spanish localization make these versions a great entry point for Nintendo players; though veterans may only find value in the portability

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a time capsule that honors the origins of one of the most influential franchises in gaming history. Digital Eclipse delivered a faithful release packed with historical content that lovingly celebrates the series’ legacy. However, its high price, technical issues, limited online features, and lack of deeper quality-of-life improvements keep it from achieving perfection. Even so, it fulfills its purpose: preserving Mortal Kombat’s history while offering a nostalgic experience for veterans and an accessible one for newcomers. It may not be a Flawless Victory, but it certainly lands a powerful blow to the heart of every fan.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment feels more connected to the official Zelda canon. Its story builds on the past established in Tears of the Kingdom, giving it more coherence and emotional weight. Gameplay improvements like smarter ally AI, fuller maps, and new Zonai artifacts make combat more dynamic. While some camera issues and the lack of online co-op contrast with all the good things, it’s still a thrilling and polished experience that expands the Zelda universe in the Musou genre. A must-play for fans enjoying the new Switch 2.

Dragon Quest I & II: HD-2D Remake is even better than the remake of Dragon Quest III thanks to the addition of new quality of life improvements, a more balanced difficulty and the fact that it is two games in one. And, by the way, these are two of the most important JRPG ever, now more accessible than ever.

Tormented Souls 2 is a love letter to the survival horror genre that major companies abandoned years ago. Although many players won’t be able to stand its deliberately old-school approach due to the clunky combat and complex puzzles, those who dare to give it a shot will find a game with excellent atmosphere that dares to challenge the player and be truly terrifying.

Plants vs. Zombies Replanted es una oportunidad para reencontrarse con un clásico moderno de los videojuegos

Battlefield 6 isn't merely a return to form; it's a full-blown resurrection. Every element that once made this series essential has been restored, refined, and reinvigorated with a confidence that borders on miraculous. An essential multiplayer for years to come.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a bold step forward for the franchise, turning the traditional formula into a fast-paced action RPG. Its combat system is thrilling, strategic, and refreshingly different, while its return to Kalos brings nostalgic charm. However, its single-city setting, underwhelming visuals, and lack of voice acting keep it from true greatness. Still, Legends: Z-A captures the wonder and heart of Pokémon better than any recent entry. A strong evolution, even if not the final form.

METAL EDEN is an artistic achievement. The sci-fi game impresses with stunning visual direction and masterful audio design, and the soundtrack by Sonic Mayhem delivers a pulse-pounding experience. Although the combat mechanics borrow heavily from genre staples, the concentrated 6-hour campaign respects players' time and compensates with style and artistic intention. The result is a solid, if familiar, sci-fi FPS that punches above its weight class.

Despite some hoping for EA Sports FC 26's crucifixion, the reality is that it's a good soccer game that offers a more polished experience than in recent years. All the rehashes and reworks are evident, but so are the areas for improvement that seek to find the balance between simulation, fun, and gameplay. Its limitations, errors, and oversights are fewer than in recent releases, and if we translate the experience to what happens on the field, the result is satisfactory.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 are timeless classics that defined 3D platforming, now back on Switch with native support for both docked and handheld play.

For newcomers, however, these are still essential Mario adventures.

Dying Light: The Beast is a triumphant return to Techland's winning formula. An excellent zombie survival game packed with fast-paced action and visceral moments of combat and survival. The return of Kyle Crane is a tremendous success and a love letter to fans of the original game.
