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. While the gameplay and level design remain stellar, the remaster offers only minor improvements and a steep $70 price that may leave longtime fans questioning Nintendo’s approach. 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. However, its lack of innovation prevents it from reaching the heights of a true revolution for the series.

Ghost of Yōtei is a visually stunning and immersive open-world experience with satisfying combat, and an emotionally resonant narrative. While the game's secondary content and open-world structure can be repetitive, it carefully balances beauty and brutality, offering a memorable journey through feudal Japan. It refines the formula of its predecessor, earning its place as a standout title on PlayStation 5.

Final Fantasy: The Ivalice Chronicles does enough to make it the definitive way to play this masterpiece, doesn’t matter if it’s your first, second, third or tenth time. Adds difficulty options, improved visuals, amazing voice acting, a new interface that makes every tutorial, dialogue and menu more comprehensive and more. All that while also maintaining the essence and charm of the original.

Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra turns a complex genre like the MOBA into an accessible and entertaining experience without losing depth in the process, while also paying tribute to Akira Toriyama’s work. Although it features a limited starting roster, few game modes, and monetization that restricts access to key content, this may very well be one of the series’ best purely online games.

It's surprising to be here, in the middle of 2025, talking about yet another Silent Hill game. Today, the franchise is back with two well-defined paths: one that follows the conservative and traditional (Bloober Team) and another that takes risks and experiments. Silent Hill f is part of the latter, and the result, in the end, is satisfying. Neobards' installment dared to push the boundaries but maintained respect for the pillars of the franchise. Although the new and risky aspects show some inconsistency, they don't undermine the concept that gave rise to it and are consistent with what it proposes. I repeat, it works for the game itself, but perhaps not for Silent Hill , at least not entirely. The journey to 1960s Japan has a soul of its own and lets the Western city rest. The prospect of repression and abuse against a woman shape a heartbreaking and terrifying story.

In Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, there is no open world, nor does it seek to reinvent what we have been playing for years; instead, it transforms each race into a battlefield, where the most important thing is to never hit the brakes. On the other hand, the lack of content is noticeable: although there are enough tracks and the crossworlds add variety, repeating the same circuits over and over again can become tedious. Hopefully, over time, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will grow with new content and make the most of the licenses it has on its side.

NBA 2K26 is a release that stands out from previous editions and is definitely the basketball game the current generation has been needing for a long time. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but the work and development demonstrated this year confirms that there are solid foundations that, with some commitment, will result in better experiences for fans.

Hollow Knight: Silksong was worth the wait. It is a masterclass on how to improve an already successful formula, expand on almost every single of its mechanics, change some things and keep surprising the player. It is so huge and full of stuff to do, that it makes you think you are never done, but in a good way. Even though it can be very difficult and frustrating, that makes it really satisfying to beat and keep improving.

We were pleasantly surprised by Borderlands 4. It's a game that managed to hook us for weeks during the process of writing this review, and we know we'll continue to clean up loose ends and experiment with the rest of the characters. However, the technical issues raise some alarm bells that we hope are just that. For better or worse, the reality is that it's more Borderlands. We don't mean that as a necessarily negative thing; after all, its value as the game that popularized looter shooters is impossible to deny. What we mean is that if you're the type who didn't enjoy the loop of the previous games, we don't expect this title to change your mind.

After years of ups and downs, Madden NFL 26 seems to be on the right track. The improvements are noticeable, both in the visuals, gameplay, and presentation. It's finally a next-gen release, and the best part is that it has a homegrown competition that, in theory, should drive development to improve and meet fan demands. It will undoubtedly be a good season for football fans.

Gears of War: Reloaded on PlayStation 5 is a passionate celebration of everything that made the original series great. It's an unbeatable opportunity to relive a masterpiece and an invitation to belong to one of the richest universes and one of the most rewarding third-person shooter experiences of all time. Highly recommended.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is the definitive version of Kirby’s 3D adventure. It combines all the charm of the original game with graphical and performance improvements, new Mouthful Modes and collectibles, plus a new story and interesting characters. The game is still fun, but the new content is short and leaves the impression it could have been used better.

Nightdive Studios once again strikes a perfect balance between preserving the original experience while making it accessible for new generations. Heretic + Hexen is an outstanding modernization that adds significant content with new campaigns, improved gameplay, cross-platform support, and accessibility features. It's definitively the best way to experience these legendary titles.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance is fast, exciting, hard, satisfying, fun, beautiful and the perfect return for a franchise so legendary. It maintains the essence of the original game and also adds the perfect amount of modernity to make it stand out. It’s the full package, and one the best action-adventure games of 2025.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a good remake, but it's a step below contemporary games that have taken that route to connect with the past. Although it's rough around the edges, it manages to respect Kojima Productions' original work, so beyond the audiovisual improvements and gameplay improvements, you'll have in your hands the same great game from 2004. Nothing more, nothing less.

Drag x Drive left me with a very positive impression. I came in with doubts about its controls and ended up surprised by how precise, fun, and addictive it can be to play with the Joy-Con 2 as if they were a mouse. Online matches are the most exciting part, especially with voice chat, and while it demands coordination and physical endurance, that only adds to the experience. With an affordable price and a concept you won’t find anywhere else, I believe it’s one of those exclusives every Nintendo Switch 2 owner should try.

Mafia: The Old Country transports players to early 20th-century Sicily, following Enzo's journey from a sulfur mine worker to a rising figure in the Torrisi crime family. The game excels with its narrative design, filled with memorable characters, and authentic Sicilian soundtrack. However, the gameplay systems are basic, with rigid animations and limited exploration. Despite these drawbacks, the game's cinematic storytelling and dramatic impact make it a must-play for fans of Italian mafia thrillers. A fair price for a compelling narrative-driven experience.

EA Sports College Football 26 maintains the level of last year's game and adds specific improvements, reminding us that, after all, this is what sports games with annual releases are all about. Without a doubt, even with some glitches and bugs, this is one of the best sports games of the year, and the best part is that it has a unique essence. College football has more tradition and passion than the NFL, and all it takes is dedicating time and attention to your favorite team to make you feel part of it.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a sequel that improves on almost every aspect of the original game. The combat feels smoother, there’s more content to enjoy, and the visuals look great. Although the story mode can feel slow at times and lacks action in some parts, its faithfulness to the anime and the large roster of playable characters make it a highly recommended experience for fans of the series.
